D. Carlos: the fictional double reflected in the historical truth
No full textInserida no projeto Autor por Autor, que consiste na análise de textos teatrais cujo tema e/ou motivo trata(m) da História Portuguesa, esta dissertação dedicou-se à análise e interpretação das peças Pátria, de Guerra Junqueiro, e D. Carlos: drama em verso, de Teixeira Pascoaes, que trazem uma personagem ficcional criada a partir de D. Carlos, rei de Portugal entre os anos de 1889 e 1908. No diálogo travado entre a Ficção e a História, buscou-se a visão que Guerra Junqueiro e Teixeira Pascoaes tiveram do papel desempenhado por D. Carlos, rei de Portugal, durante a agonia da monarquia portuguesa, às vésperas do nascimento e fim da Primeira República. A pesquisa em torno da personagem histórico-real procura responder quem foi D. Carlos na representação de historiadores, com o objetivo de, depois de analisadas as peças, traçar paralelos entre as personagens ficcionais criadas à luz do D. Carlos histórico-real. Por meio desta comparação é possível perceber a escolha das características elencadas por cada escritor para compor as personagens ficcionais em decorrência da mensagem alegórica que cada texto ficcional possui, examinando em que medida a História surge como uma construção que muito deve à verossimilhança e interpretação subjetiva da Ficção. As personagens ficcionais, que representam o rei em cada uma das peças, parecem antagônicas entre si. A explicação para tal disparidade está intrinsecamente ligada ao drama histórico definido por Almeida Garrett durante o Romantismo Português, motivo de essa definição ter sido utilizada como ponto de partida para a metodologia escolhida para a análise das peças, posto que o exame dos textos literários encontrou uma releitura didática do presente à luz de alegorias criadas com a História de Portugal e por meio da tradição das escolas literárias nas quais se inserem, Decadentismo-Simbolismo (Pátria) e Saudosismo (D. Carlos: drama em verso). Para que tal caráter didático-elucidativo fosse revelado, fizeram-se necessárias as análises dos períodos históricos de elaboração e publicação de Pátria (1896) e D. Carlos: drama em verso (1918-1925). A análise da personagem foi fundamentalmente baseada nos estudos de Renata Pallottini em seu livro Dramaturgia: a construção da personagem, de onde foram elencados três pontos a serem estudados para compreender a construção das personagens que representam D. Carlos nas peças analisadas. Os três enfoques revelaram-se intrinsecamente interligados e determinantes para a escolha dos atributos da personagem histórico-real, utilizados para compor as personagens histórico-ficcionais que representam o rei em Pátria e D. Carlos. Os levantamentos históricos, as análises das peças e das personagens conduziram a dissertação à conclusão de que, em ambos os casos, D. Carlos era a personagem histórica mais emblemática para a construção da mensagem de cada peça, por ser ele o representante da monarquia nos períodos históricos que compuseram a unidade de ação, tempo presente, das peças aqui analisadas.Inserted into the Project Author by Author, which is the analysis of theatrical texts whose theme and/or reason tells about Portuguese history, this work is dedicated to the analysis and interpretation of the books Pátria, from Guerra Junqueiro, and D. Carlos: drama em verso, from Teixeira de Pascoaes, who brings both a fictional character created from D. Carlos, King of Portugal, between the years 1889 and 1908. By the dialogue between fiction and history, we sought the view that Guerra Junqueiro and Teixeira de Pascoaes had for the role played by D. Carlos, King of Portugal, at the Portuguese monarchy decadence period, on the eve of the First Republic. Looking through the historical research carried out around the real historical character, we answer who was D. Carlos in the mental representation of historians, and then by analyzing each play, in order to draw parallels between the fictional characters created and the real historical D. Carlos, we justify the choice of the characteristics listed by both writers through the allegorical message of each fictional plays, examining the extent of the history construction that owes much to the likelihood and subjective interpretation of fiction. The explanation for the disparity between the allegorical messages and fictional characters of each piece, appears intrinsically linked to the historical drama defined by Almeida Garrett during Portuguese Romanticism, link that have been the starting point for the chosen methodology to our books analysis, becouse the examination of each literary texts founds a didactic retelling of the allegories created with the Portugal history and through the tradition of literary schools to which each play belong, Decadentism-Symbolism (Pátria) and Saudosismo (D . Carlos: drama em verso). To reveal this didactic and instructive character, it was necessary to analyzes the historical periods of preparation and publication of Pátria (1896) and D. Carlos: drama em verso (1918-1925). The characters analysis was primarily based on Renatas Pallottini studies in her book Dramaturgia: a construção da personagem, from which were listed three points to be studied to understand the construction of the characters representing D. Carlos on the analyzed parts. The three approaches have proven to be intrinsically linked and decisive for the choice of the real historical character atributes, used to compose the historical-fictionals characters that represent the King in Pátria and D. Carlos. Historical surveys, and the character analysis led us to the conclusion that, in both cases, D. Carlos was the most emblematic historical character to the construction of each piece messages, because he was the simbol of the monarchy at the historical periods that built up the unity of action and present time, by the documents analyzed here

SPOCs for Remedial Education: Experiences at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
Full text linkThe Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has been offering several face-to-face remedial courses for freshmen to review or learn concepts and practical skills that they should know before starting their degree programme. During the last two years, our University has adopted MOOC-like technologies to support some of these courses so that a "fipping the classroom" methodology can be applied to a particular small educational context. This paper gathers a list of issues and challenges encountered when using Khan Academy technologies for small private online courses (SPOCs). These issues and challenges include the absence of a single platform that supports all the requirements, the need for integration of different learning platforms, the complexity of the authoring process, the need for an adaptation of gamifcation during the learning process and the adjustment of the learning analytics functionality. In addition, some lessons learned are presented, as well as specifc actions taken in response, where MOOCs do not replace teachers and classrooms for these remedial courses, but improve their effectiveness.This work was partially funded by the EEE project, “Plan Nacional de I+D+i TIN2011-28308-C03-01” and the “eMadrid: Investigación y desarrollo de tecnologías para el e-learning en la Comunidad de Madrid” project (S2009/TIC-1650)”.

Research in economics in Spain: rankings of institutions and authors
Full text linkIn this paper we analyse the research in Economics in Spain during the 1990s considering the contributions of both Spanish and foreign economist who have worked in Spain during that period. To do so, we use different bibliometric indicators in order to elaborate rankings for both institutions and researchers. These rankings can be useful for several potentials users such as: a) Evaluation Agencies and Funding Bodies to help them in grant-allocation decisions; b) Graduate students who whish to choose the right institution to complete their postgraduate education, and c) Young Ph Ds who have entered the academic job market and need information about the research perfomance of different institutions

Publisher Copyright: © 2022 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.We prove that we can always construct strongly minimal linearizations of an arbitrary rational matrix from its Laurent expansion around the point at infinity, which happens to be the case for polynomial matrices expressed in the monomial basis. If the rational matrix has a particular self-conjugate structure, we show how to construct strongly minimal linearizations that preserve it. The structures that are considered are the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian rational matrices with respect to the real line, and the para-Hermitian and para-skew-Hermitian matrices with respect to the imaginary axis. We pay special attention to the construction of strongly minimal linearizations for the particular case of structured polynomial matrices. The proposed constructions lead to efficient numerical algorithms for constructing strongly minimal linearizations. The fact that they are valid for any rational matrix is an improvement on any other previous approach for constructing other classes of structure preserving linearizations, which are not valid for any structured rational or polynomial matrix. The use of the recent concept of strongly minimal linearization is the key for getting such generality. Strongly minimal linearizations are Rosenbrock's polynomial system matrices of the given rational matrix, but with a quadruple of linear polynomial matrices (i.e., pencils): L(λ): = [A(λ)/C(λ) -B(λ)/D(λ)], where A(λ) is regular, and the pencils [A(λ) -B(λ)] and A(λ)/C(λ)] have no finite or infinite eigenvalues. Strongly minimal linearizations contain the complete information about the zeros, poles, and minimal indices of the rational matrix and allow one to very easily recover its eigenvectors and minimal bases. Thus, they can be combined with algorithms for the generalized eigenvalue problem for computing the complete spectral information of the rational matrix.Peer reviewe
