Modelos de educación estética y autoridad interpretativa en centros de arte contemporáneo
Este artículo describe las actividades educativas que ofrecen los
centros de arte contemporáneo de nuestro entorno, analizando
el rol que se otorga al espectador en las prácticas de interpretación
de las obras de arte y el tipo de nociones de arte y
comprensión estética que estas prácticas fomentan entre los
alumnos. La conclusión propone una nueva noción de
comprensión estética y pautas para articular un modelo interpretativo
que permita desarrollar actividades educativas de calidad
en nuestros centros de arte contemporáneo
Organizational power predicts decision making quality
The aim of this study was to analyze the link between power and the quality of decision.
Participants were 50 employees from an organizational company, consisting of two groups (High-Power,
N=24; Low-Power, N=26) based on the organization's hierarchical power position. To evaluate the quality
of the decisions, all participants performed tasks involving choice among several alternatives in two
separate moments of the same day: in the morning (at the beginning of the workday) and late afternoon
(at the end of the workday). Additional subjective measures (fatigue, alertness, effort) and skin
conductance were obtained. Results indicated that having high power in the organization was related to
making better decisions, over and above the subjective levels of fatigue, alertness, effort, and physiological
arousal. No effects of time-of-day were found on the decision making. Consistent with experimental
research, having power facilitated decision-making performance in an organizational context
Anticorrelation between Ion Acceleration and Nonlinear Coherent Structures from Laser-Underdense Plasma Interaction
In laser-plasma experiments, we observed that ion acceleration from the
Coulomb explosion of the plasma channel bored by the laser, is prevented when
multiple plasma instabilities such as filamentation and hosing, and nonlinear
coherent structures (vortices/post-solitons) appear in the wake of an
ultrashort laser pulse. The tailoring of the longitudinal plasma density ramp
allows us to control the onset of these insabilities. We deduced that the laser
pulse is depleted into these structures in our conditions, when a plasma at
about 10% of the critical density exhibits a gradient on the order of 250
{\mu}m (gaussian fit), thus hindering the acceleration. A promising
experimental setup with a long pulse is demonstrated enabling the excitation of
an isolated coherent structure for polarimetric measurements and, in further
perspectives, parametric studies of ion plasma acceleration efficiency.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
