Eliminando fronteras : identidades de género frente a la televisión

El objetivo de este artículo es el de analizar el proceso de recepción televisiva entre audiencias femeninas y masculinas a la luz de la perspectiva de género, con el propósito de contribuir a la eliminación de una de las fronteras torales del mundo moderno: la frontera de género. Basado en herramientas cualitativas, este trabajo analiza la forma en la cual las amas de casa y los jefes de familia se relacionan con la televisión en el marco de su vida cotidiana. El supuesto central del que se parte es que la identidad de género determina las formas particulares en que estas mujeres y hombres se relacionan con la realidad social y con los otros, formas que pasan por la manera en que se conciben como ciudadanos, en la percepción que tienen de las esferas doméstica y pública y en cómo las vivencian, en cómo participan en los procesos comunicativos y, en este sentido, en cómo se relacionan con la televisión y en cómo interpretan losmensajes mediáticos.The main purpouse of this article is to analyze using the cathegory of gender, the reception process among female and male audiences, with the objective of contribute to eliminate the frontier of gender. Based on qualitative methodology, this research is focused on the relationship between housewives and head of families with television, in the daily life. The hypothesis expresses that the identity of gender determines particular forms of: relationship with the society; assuming citizenship; relationship with public and private spheres; and participation in communicative processes, in particular in the television reception

How work patterns affect leisure activities and energy consumption: A time-use analysis for Finland and France

Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu CEX2019-000940-MStudies on socio-economic impacts of climate and energy policies tend to focus on income and expenditure effects. For analyses that go beyond monetary dimensions, time-diary data have proven to be useful. Here we investigate how work time relates to leisure activity structures and associated energy use for different types of employees. To this end, an analysis of time-use data is undertaken for Finland and France. Novel elements are (1) a differentiation between part-time and full-time employees, (2) the use of distinct energy intensities of different activities by household type instead of average energy intensities, and (3) allowing for non-linear relationships between work time and the allocation of other activities. Our results suggest that the effects of work time on energy use are rather homogeneous in Finland, whereas we find more differences between employee types in France. In both countries, adjustment of leisure-activity duration is sometimes strong initially but flattening for longer work hours. This relates to another finding, namely that the composition of leisure activities differs between people with distinct work hours. Our study suggests that analysis of disaggregated time-use data can add relevant insights for evaluation, and possibly design, of energy, climate and labour-market policies

Use of Biomarkers to Identify Acute Kidney Injury to Help Detect Sepsis in Patients With Infection

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Retrospective, international, Sapphire study. Academic Medical Center. Adults admitted to the ICU without evidence of acute kidney injury at time of enrollment. None. We stratified patients enrolled in the Sapphire study into three groups-those with a clinical diagnosis of sepsis (n = 216), those with infection without sepsis (n = 120), and those without infection (n = 387) at enrollment. We then examined 30-day mortality stratified by acute kidney injury within each group. Finally, we determined the operating characteristics for kidney stress markers (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2) × (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7) for prediction of acute kidney injury as a sepsis-defining organ failure in patients with infection without a clinical diagnosis of sepsis at enrollment. Combining all groups, 30-day mortality was 23% for patients who developed stage 2-3 acute kidney injury within the first 3 days compared with 14% without stage 2-3 acute kidney injury. However, this difference was greatest in the infection without sepsis group (34% vs 11%; odds ratio, 4.09; 95% CI, 1.53-11.12; p = 0.005). Using a (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2) × (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7) cutoff of 2.0 units, 14 patients (11.7%), in the infection/no sepsis group, tested positive of which 10 (71.4%) developed stage 2-3 acute kidney injury. The positive test result occurred a median of 19 hours (interquartile range, 0.8-34.0 hr) before acute kidney injury manifested by serum creatinine or urine output. Similar results were obtained using a cutoff of 1.0 for any stage of acute kidney injury. Use of the urinary (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2) × (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7) test could identify acute kidney injury in patients with infection, possibly helping to detect sepsis, nearly a day before acute kidney injury is apparent by clinical criteria

The difference between presence-based education and distance learning

Attempts to define distance learning always involve comparisons with presence-based education, as the latter is the most direct reference that the former has. It is on this basis that the convergent points, similarities and differences of the two types of approach are established. This article opens with such a comparison, before going on to focus mainly on distance learning and to examine methodological strategies that should be borne in mind when implementing an e-learning system

Las diásporas de Asia Oriental en Europa Occidental

El nodo español en las diásporas de Asia Oriental / Joaquín Beltrán AntolínEl carácter pionero y pluridisciplinar de este trabajo define la primera recopilación que se presenta en el ámbito académico sobre el estudio de la presencia de las comunidades asiático-orientales (japoneses, coreanos y chinos) en Europa Occidental con aportaciones desde la antropología social, la politología y la geografía. Las distintas contribuciones que conforman el análisis sobre las características de estos flujos migratorios, cuyo asentamiento en el viejo continente no alcanza un volumen de población y de intereses económicos significativos hasta después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, destacan un aspecto concreto sobre el cual se articula cada uno de ellos, según sea su origen. En el caso de la evolución de la presencia japonesa, el paso de una migración dominada por las instituciones a otra de naturaleza más individual y voluntaria; el nuevo elemento étnico y de identidad producido en los contextos migratorios coreanos, impulsado por la interacción entre sus colectivos, o el proceso de universalización y diversificación del orden migratorio chino, de gran influencia en el marco migratorio global
