Old wine in new bottles. Narrative complexity in the dawn of Netflix Originals (2013-2017)
Get PDFThis article explores how the first five years of Netflix Originals
dramatic storytelling fit the “Complex TV” label that Mittell
defined, with its innovative season-drop delivery strategy. We
focus on one narratological device: the delimited flashback, the
predominant type of analepsis in the 33 pilot episodes that made
up our sample. Although the delimited flashbacks analyzed are
semantically diverse, the discussion combines quantitative data
with a qualitative analysis focusing on three key elements: the
objects and places that trigger the characters’ memories, the
contradictory or parallel relationship between timeframes, and
the violation of boundaries between narrative layers
Methylene blue for surgical excision of digital myxoid cysts after sonography: Addressing the challenge of identifying the drainage tract
Get PDFDigital mucous cysts are benign pseudocysts that frequently present as solitary lesions on the proximal nail folds, arising from the joint capsule and typically containing clear fluid. Although several therapeutic options exist for digital mucous cysts, the recurrence rate is high, and surgical excision remains the most effective choice1. Nevertheless, the use of ultrasound could assist in the identification of the drainage tract of the cyst within the join

No full textIntestinal permeability, gut inflammation, and gut immune system response are linked to aging-related changes in gut microbiota composition: A study in female mice
No full textAging entails changes at the cellular level that increase the risk of various pathologies. An association between gut microbiota and age-related diseases has also been attributed. This study aims to analyze changes in fecal microbiota composition and their association with genes related to immune response, gut inflammation, and intestinal barrier impairment. Fecal samples of female mice at different ages (2 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months) and gene expression in colon tissue were analyzed. Results showed that the older mice group had a more diverse microbiota than the younger group. Additionally, the abundance of Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Flavobacteriaceae, Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, Akkermansia, and Parabacteroides goldsteinii increased with age. In contrast, there was a notable decline in Clostridiaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Monoglobaceae, Ligilactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus, Mucispirillum, and Bacteroides faecichinchillae. These bacteria imbalances were positively correlated with increased inflammation markers in the colon, including Tnf-α, Ccl2, and Ccl12, and negatively with the expression of tight junction genes (Jam2, Tjp1, and Tjp2), as well as immune response genes (Cd4, Cd72, Tlr7, Tlr12, and Lbp). In conclusion, high levels of diversity did not result in improved health in older mice; however, the imbalance in bacteria abundance that occurs with aging might contribute to immune senescence, inflammation, and leaky gut disease
Nuevo formato de exposición aplicado a proyectos en química
No full textLa asignatura de Proyectos en Química, 4o curso
del grado de Química, pretende preparar a los alumnos para redactar y
desarrollar proyectos industriales. Además, cumpliendo con las
competencias legales que deben adquirir los alumnos, en el marco de la
asignatura se contempla un análisis y exposición oral de un proyecto
ejemplo de la industria química. En este contexto se plantea el uso del
formato PechaKucha como una herramienta de innovación docente.
Consiste en exponer un tema, en este caso el proyecto en cuestión, a través
de 20 imágenes con una duración de 20 segundos cada imagen. El global
de la exposición es 6 minutos y 40 segundos. En este tiempo el ponente
debe saber hacer llegar el mensaje a la audiencia. Se pretende estimular la capacidad creativa del alumno, capacidad ésta, que seguro le será de gran
utilidad en el futuro laboral
Efecto de los factores ambientales en la distribución del haya y el roble pedunculado en el área de Lekunberri (Navarra)
No full textLa capacidad de retención de agua biodisponible en el suelo es un factor esencial que determina
la disponibilidad hídrica del ecosistema en periodos de sequía. El patrón espacial de la
distribución arbórea de un ecosistema depende en gran parte de este factor. Mediante su cálculo,
este trabajo permite conocer los factores que explican la distribución actual de la vegetación en
el área de Lekunberri, y predecir posibles cambios en un contexto de aumento de temperatura
por cambio climático. El haya (Fagus sylvatica L.) muestra preferencias por zonas elevadas, con
gran humedad ambiental, suelos no muy evolucionados y es altamente dependiente del clima. El
roble pedunculado (Quercus robur L.) muestra preferencia por zonas bajas, suelos muy
desarrollados y con gran capacidad de retención de agua; de la cual depende su existencia. En
condiciones de aumento de temperatura por cambio climático, el haya presenta una mayor
tolerancia a la sequía y se proyecta hacia zonas más elevadas. Sin embargo, el roble presenta una
menor capacidad de tolerancia a la sequía y su distribución se ve gravemente amenazada por la
falta de agua en el suelo
El sótano de los horrores. Crisis y recuperación en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid
No full textLa quinta temporada de “The Walking Dead” se estrenó en España en octubre de 2014. Cuando
terminó, los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid descubrieron
con estupefacción que también ellos habían estado caminando entre cadáveres ese curso. A
pocos metros de los laboratorios de Anatomía, más de 500 cuerpos se amontonaban indecentemente
Dissemination analysis of SDGs in sustainability reports to enhance corporate communication strategy
No full textThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of the management of public and private enter-prises. Organizations have incorporated the SDGs into their business strategy by developing actions that they disseminate in their reports. In the last decade, academic research has paid special attention to this development, publishing a growing number of studies on the subject with the emergence of a specific line of research in the area of sustainability: sustainability reporting. In this context, this paper aims to show a methodology that serves as a tool to analyze the disclosure of SDGs in the sustainability reports. This methodology has three stages. First, a lexicographic analysis of sustainability reports has been carried out, second, a correspondence analysis, and third, outlining through ¿guided questions¿ how the information obtained can be useful to analyze SDG communication strategy. For further illustration the methodology has been applied to a company in the Spanish agri-food sector: Ebro Foods. This work has both academic and professional implications by providing a guideline for SDG dissem-ination analysis in sustainability reports and, on the other hand, by providing the business world with an analysis tool that serves to improve communication strategies in the field of sustainability
