Perspectives critiques sur le texte littéraire: un dialogue possible entre la sociocritique crosienne et l’herméneutique philologique
No full textEste artículo aborda algunos elementos cruciales del proceder crítico desarrollado por la sociocrítica de Edmond Cros, así como su práctica de análisis del objeto textual en relación con las nociones más destacables que concibió, tales como, el sujeto cultural, la morfogénesis y la producción de sentido. A partir de ese enfoque algo panorámico, que también distingue ciertas evoluciones en la dimensión epistemológica de la teoría crosiana, se intenta establecer un diálogo entre esta última y una hermenéutica filológica que pretende acentuar la proyección interpretativa de dicha sociocrítica en relación estrecha con las problemáticas clave inherentes a la construcción del sentido en el texto literario.This article describes some crucial elements of the critical procedure of Edmond Cros’s socio-criticism, as well as his practice of analyzing the textual object in relation to the most notable notions that he conceived, such as the cultural subject, morphogenesis and the production of meaning. From this somewhat panoramic approach, wich also distinguishes certain evolutions in the epistemological dimension of Crosian theory, an attempt is made to establish a dialogue between the latter and a philological hermeneutics that aim to accentuate the interpretative projection of said socio-criticism in close relationship with the key problems inherent to the construction of meaning in the literary text.Cet article aborde certains éléments cruciaux de la démarche critique déployée par la sociocritique d’Edmond Cros, ainsi que sa pratique d’analyse de l’objet textuel en relation avec les notions les plus significatives qu’il conçut, telles que le sujet culturel, la morphogenèse et la production de sens. À partir de cette perspective quelque peu panoramique, qui distingue aussi certaines évolutions relatives à la dimension épistémologique de la théorie crosienne, nous tentons d’établir un dialogue entre cette dernière et une herméneutique philologique qui prétend accentuer la projection interprétative de cette sociocritique en rapport étroit avec les problématiques clés inhérentes à la construction du sens dans le texte littéraire
Linguistic landscape as a didactic tool in Andalusian languages class
No full textEl presente trabajo pretende mostrar cómo el paisaje lingüístico puede resultar un recurso didáctico muy útil para la docencia de las hablas andaluzas a nivel universitario. Para ello, se empieza por contextualizar teóricamente el propio concepto de paisaje lingüístico y llevar a cabo un repaso de las principales aportaciones que se han hecho en los últimos años al estudio de su aplicación al ámbito de la educación. Posteriormente, se centra la atención en tres bloques de contenido: las ideas preconcebidas que los propios hablantes tienen sobre qué es y qué no una muestra de hablas andaluzas, las cuestiones de léxico y los andalucismos y la consideración sociolingüística de las hablas andaluzas y su prestigio. El artículo explica detalladamente cómo servirse del paisaje lingüístico para trabajar cada una de estas cuestiones en el aula, principalmente a través de actividades que se le proponen al alumnado. Se concluye que su propia naturaleza (dinámica, cambiante, accesible…) convierte a las muestras de paisaje lingüístico en una herramienta ideal para trabajar cuestiones relacionadas con las variedades diatópicas, como las hablas andaluzas.The present study seeks to show how the lingüistic landscape can be a very useful didactic tool for the teaching of tha andalusian languages in a universitary level. With this purpose, it begins with the theoretical contextualization of the own concept of linguistic landscape and it carries out a revision of the main contributions which has been done through the last years to the study of its application to the education field. Afterwards, it focuses the attention in three blocks of content: the preconceptions of the own speakers about what is i tana example of the andalusian languages and what not, vocabulary issues and andalusian words and the sociolinguistic consideration of the andalusian languages and its prestige. The article explains at lenght how to use the linguistic landscape to work each one of these topics in classroom, mainly through activities wich are proposed to the students. The conclusión is that its own nature (dinamic, volatile, available…) turns the linguistic landscape samples into an ideal tool for working issues related to the diatopical varieties, such as the andalusian languages
Generation and ex vivo characterization of a full-thickness substitute of the human urethra by tissue engineering
No full textTissue engineering may offer efficient alternatives for the surgical repair of severe
conditions affecting the human urethra. However, development of tubular fullthickness substitutes is challenging. In this work, we have generated and evaluated
ex vivo a novel full-thickness human urethra substitute (FHUS) containing its three
main layers: the urethral mucosa (UM), the spongy layer (SP), and the tunica albuginea (AL). Results first showed that the generation of a FHUS significantly improved
the biomechanical properties of this artificial tissue as compared to the individual
layers, although the resistance of the native urethra was not reached. At the structural level, we found that FHUS shared important histological similarities with the
native urethra. Analysis of the individual layers showed that UM had a stratified epithelium that expressed several epithelial markers, including cytokeratins CK7 and
CK14, uroplakin 1b, and the intercellular junction proteins desmoplakin, tight junction
protein 1, and claudin. At the stromal level, UM tended to increase the presence of
collagen fibers and versican with time. The SP layer displayed abundant CD31 and
CD34-positive blood vessels, but small amounts of collagen and proteoglycans. The
AL layer showed scattered smooth muscle cells expressing α-smooth muscle actin,
smoothelin, and desmin cell markers, and contained low amounts of collagen and proteoglycans. Analysis of the basement membrane components collagen IV and laminin
revealed their progressive development with time, especially collagen IV. These
results confirm the possibility of developing a partially biomimetic full-thickness substitute of human urethra that might have potential clinical usefulness for the clinical
repair of severe urethral lesions.Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation - Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Grant/Award

Conclusiones: la compilación de los resultados confirma que la ESPA II es clave para la consecución de los ODS. La geografía y la integración de los ODS ofrecen posibilidades educativas relevantes, tanto para el alumnado como para el profesorado, contribuyendo al logro de los ODS y a la formación de una ciudadanía global sostenible.Introduction: This article examines the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in ESPA II and their link with the geographic content within the Social Domain at level II. This analysis will reveal the degree of integration of the SDGs at this stage of education and their relationship with the geographic content within the CREA platform.
Method: The following question is posed: how are the SDGs dealt with in the Social Field II of ESPA II in Andalusia? An exhaustive review is carried out of the current regulations governing the curriculum and the materials offered by the educational administration itself within the Social Field II and its treatment of the SDGs at this level of education are examined.
Results: The results are synthesised on the basis of the analysis of the current curriculum in the Andalusian community and the contents provided on the CREA platform for the Social Field II and the weight of the SDGs at ESPA II level are explored. A scarce and poor presence is found with regard to the treatment of the SDGs and the non-exploitation of geographical contents.
Conclusions: The compilation of the results confirms that ESPA II is key to the achievement of the SDGs. Geography and the integration of the SDGs offer interesting educational opportunities for both students and teachers, contributing to the achievement of the SDGs and the formation of sustainable global citizenship
A Comparative Study of the Adsorption of Industrial Anionic Dyes with Bone Char and Activated Carbon Cloth
No full textThis study presents a comparative analysis of the adsorption behavior of three industrial
ionic dyes—Indigo Carmine (IC), Congo Red (CR), and Evans Blue (EB)—using two adsorbent materials with distinct physicochemical and textural properties: bone char (BC)
and activated carbon cloth (ACC). The main objective was to evaluate and compare the
adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of these dyes on both materials. Equilibrium behavior
was analyzed using the Prausnitz–Radke isotherm model, while adsorption kinetics were
evaluated using PVSDM. The results showed that adsorption onto BC was primarily driven
by electrostatic interactions, enhanced by the presence of hydroxyapatite. The maximum
adsorbed amounts were determined to be 0.296, 0.107, and 0.0614 mmol g−1
for CR, IC,
and EB, respectively. In contrast, adsorption on ACC was influenced by both electrostatic
and hydrophobic forces due to its carbonaceous composition. IC exhibited significantly
higher adsorption on ACC (1.087 mmol g−1
), whereas CR and EB only 0.269 mmol g−1
and 0.028 mmol g−1
, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that intraparticle transport was
the rate-limiting step across all systems. Specifically, pore volume diffusion controlled the
adsorption rate on ACC, with mean diffusion coefficients of 9.72 × 10−8
, 1.83 × 10−9
, and
1.48 × 10−10 cm2
s
−1
for IC, CR and EB, respectively. Conversely, for BC, adsorption surface
diffusion played a dominant role in the adsorption of IC and CR, with mean diffusion
coefficients of 1.62 × 10−9 and 7.28 × 10−10 for IC and CR, respectively. These findings
underscore the importance of considering both equilibrium and kinetic parameters in the
design of efficient wastewater treatment systems.MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 (PID2022-142169OBI00 project)Secretariat of University, Research and Innovation of the Andalusian Government (EMERGIA20 EMC21_00396)Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology,

Port(s). A circular economy framework for sustainable ports in Spain
No full textThe objective of this study is to develop a circular economy framework for ports by integrating existing sustainability and circularity strategies while minimizing administrative complexity. Both the European Union and
Spain have issued circular economy guidelines, highlighting Level(s), a framework designed for buildings.
Spanish ports have been using a sustainability diagnostic system for over a decade, providing a robust foundation
of relevant indicators. However, implementing a new framework must address a key barrier: the limited resources available to public administrations, which can hinder the adoption of additional strategies. To ensure
feasibility, this study proposes a structured circular economy framework aligned with existing sustainability
assessment tools. The framework follows the structure of Level(s), organized around macro-objectives derived
through Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping and validated using the Delphi method. Each macro-objective is supported by
quantifiable indicators to monitor circular economy implementation. These indicators focus on adapting existing
sustainability indicators to the circular economy context, complemented by new ones where necessary. This
research advances circular economy integration in ports by leveraging established systems and ensuring regulatory compatibility. The resulting model promotes sustainability and resilience while avoiding additional
bureaucratic complexity, offering a practical and adaptable tool for decision-makers and port authorities
Teaching innovation in sport science degrees in Catalonia
No full textLa innovación educativa se ha convertido en un reto estratégico para las universidades que han de responder ante una sociedad cambiante y competitiva. El objetivo del estudio ha sido analizar la actitud hacia la innovación docente del profesorado de los diferentes cursos de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte de Cataluña (CAFyD). Para ello, se implementó el cuestionario Perfil competencial innovador del docente universitario (CIDU) de Fernández-Cruz y Rodríguez-Legendre (2023) sobre el profesorado de los 8 centros de CAFyD de Catalunya. El cuestionario fue respondido por 128 docentes. El equipo de investigadores contactó vía mail con los respectivos equipos directivos para presentarles el estudio y pedirles que difundieran el cuestionario entre su profesorado. Los resultados mostraron que las mujeres y el profesorado acreditado presentan una mayor predisposición hacia la innovación educativa (p<.05). El departamento de Educación Física es el que mostró mayor tendencia hacia la innovación, principalmente debido a su profesorado acreditado (p<.05) y al posible vínculo que éste tiene con los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Existe una notable heterogeneidad entre las 9 dimensiones de la innovación docente analizadas en el cuestionario que se demuestra en las múltiples variaciones significativas (p <.05) entre ellas. En general, se observó una predisposición elevada hacia la innovación docente entre los docentes, donde parece que las mujeres y los docentes acreditados muestran mayor predisposición, especialmente entre los acreditados del departamento de Educación Física. Parece que los cambios recientes en el modelo educativo universitario están influyendo positivamente en la innovación docente.Educational innovation has become a strategic challenge for universities that have to respond to a
changing and competitive society. The aim of the study was to analyse the attitude towards
teaching innovation of the teaching staff of the different courses of Physical Activity and Sport
Sciences in Catalonia (CAFyD). For this purpose, the questionnaire Innovative Competence Profile of
University Teachers (CIDU) by Fernández-Cruz and Rodríguez-Legendre (2023) was implemented on
the teaching staff of the 8 CAFyD centers in Catalonia. The questionnaire was answered by 128
teachers. The research team contacted the respective management teams by e-mail to present the
study and ask them to disseminate the questionnaire among their teaching staff. The results showed
that women and accredited teachers are more inclined towards educational innovation (p<.05). The
Physical Education department showed the highest tendency towards innovation, mainly due to its
accredited teaching staff (p<.05) and the possible link they have with the teaching and learning
processes. There is a notable heterogeneity among the 9 dimensions of teaching innovation
analyzed in the questionnaire, which is demonstrated by the many significant variations (p<.05)
between them. In general, a high predisposition towards teaching innovation was observed among
teachers, where it seems that women and accredited teachers are more likely to be more likely to
be more innovative than men
Multi-analytical assessment of ethyl silicate-treated bricks: from salt deterioration to long-term protection
No full textThis study investigates the effectiveness of ethyl silicate in enhancing the durability of extruded bricks subjected to weathering used by sodium sulphate. Four groups of samples were analyzed and compared: unaltered bricks (F1), salt-weathered bricks (F2), consolidated salt-weathered bricks (F3), and re-weathered consolidated bricks (F4). Chemical and mineralogical changes were evaluated using X-ray fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, μRaman spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Hydric tests and ultrasound measurements assessed changes in the pore structure and mechanical properties. Colour measurements quantified aesthetic alterations. Mechanical tests evaluated strength, hardness and fatigue resistance. A
computational model was also developed to predict long-term behaviour. Results indicate that ethyl silicate treatment significantly enhances weathered brick durability, with consolidated saltweathered samples showing improved mechanical properties and reduced salt damage. However, the re-weathering process revealed some limitations in providing long-term protection. This
research offers novelty insights into ethyl silicate consolidation for preserving bricks under conditions of salt weathering
Effects of an intergenerational service-learning program on prosocial behaviors and perception of physical education in primary education students
No full textIntroduction: The Service-Learning (SL) promotes the acquisition of curricular
competencies through enriching experiences that respond to real social needs,
within a framework of critical reflection and ethical commitment. Through an
intergenerational SL program, this article addresses the global phenomenon
of population aging. Preventing ageism as a potential discriminatory behavior
should be the foundation for building positive prosocial behaviors from
childhood. In addition, Physical Education (PE) can be an effective tool to
promote social inclusion.
Methods: A total of 106 students, divided into two methodology groups
(Traditional vs. Service-Learning; age = 10.49 ± 0.50), participated in a 10-
week intervention with older adults in a day center, using physical activities as
the main tool. The study incorporated standardized questionnaires assessing
prosocial behaviors (PB) and students’ self-perception of PE lessons.
Findings: The results show significant improvements in most PB dimensions
(Empathy, Respect, Sociability, and Leadership; all, p < 0.05) and in selfperception of the PE subject in the SL group (p < 0.05), in contrast to the TM
group, which showed no improvements.
Discussion: In general, an experiential methodology with an inclusive focus
such as SL fosters civic and respectful behaviors in adolescents, especially
when they engage with socially disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, the role
of PE is crucial, as it enables direct and progressive interaction with the target
population, in this case, older adults
