Demanda de información de actualidad en un servicio de referencia periodística. Análisis descriptivo de 4.160 solicitudes

4.160 demands for information were posed to the news information service of a regional TV station in 1999. The average daily number of demands was 16,7, with a wide span along the different production periods of the year. No correlation was found between volume of production and number of requests. Most of demands fell in categories like Politics, Social Affairs, Law and Crime, Cinema, the Media, Music, Sports and Geography. Generic questions account for more than a half of demands, while specific data were demanded in 26,32 per cent of the questions. Celebrities focused one third of demands and 11,25 per cent referred to facts. Newsroom journalist were by large the most frequent users, followed by story writters for fictional, public service or entertainment productions. Level of specialized demands and user groups can justify the implementation of SDI facilities.El servicio de documentación escrita de Radiotelevisión Valenciana recibió 4.160 solicitudes de información planteadas por 562 usuarios en 1999. El promedio de peticiones por día (16,7) resultó muy variable a lo largo de los diversos periodos de producción del año (máximo de 33,7 en febrero y mínimo de 10 en agosto). Aunque el tema que más peticiones suscitó sólo acumulaba el 14,2% de las peticiones, 8 de los 42 grupos temáticos centran el 53,75% de las peticiones. Más de la mitad de las peticiones (52,54%) se referían a información genérica, pero en una proporción considerable (26,32%) se recaban datos fácticos sobre diversos asuntos y en casi el 10% de las peticiones se solicitan imágenes, usualmente fotografías. La información centrada en personajes casi acaparaba la tercera parte de las peticiones (30,66). Sobre acontecimientos concretos se han formulado el 11,25% de las peticiones, aunque más de la mitad del total se han centrado en asuntos genéricos. Los servicios informativos fueron los grandes peticionarios de información: han formulado más del 63% de las consultas, mientras no llega al 20% el número de solicitudes de los programas. Una proporción aún menor representan las formuladas por departamentos técnicos, administrativos o de servicio. La distribución temática de las solicitudes confirma el carácter universal de las informaciones tratadas. No se ha observado relación entre la orientación de la producción y los temas solicitados al servicio. Tampoco entre el volumen de producción y el de demandas. En relación con los usuarios, se observa una típica curva de concentración dispersión

Removal and fate of microplastics in permeable pavements: An experimental layer-by-layer analysis

The increasing prevalence of microplastics (MP) in urban environments has raised concerns over their negative effects on ecosystems and human health. Stormwater runoff, and road dust and sediment, act as major vectors of these pollutants into natural water bodies. Sustainable urban drainage systems, such as permeable pavements, are considered as potential tools to retain particulate pollutants. This research evaluates at laboratory scale the efficiency of permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP) and porous concrete pavements (PCP) for controlling microplastics, including tire wear particles (TWP) which constitute a large fraction of microplastics in urban environments, simulating surface pollution accumulation and Mediterranean rainfall conditions. Microplastic levels in road dust and sediments and stormwater runoff inputs were 4762 ± 974 MP/kg (dry weight) and 23.90 ± 17.40 MP/L. In infiltrated effluents, microplastic levels ranged from 2.20 ± 0.61 to 5.17 ± 1.05 MP/L; while tire wear particle levels ranged between 0.28 ± 0.28 and 3.30 ± 0.89 TWP/L. Distribution of microplastics within the layers of PICP and PCP were also studied and quantified. Microplastics tend to accumulate on the pavements surface and in geotextile layers, allowing microplastic retention efficiencies from 89 % to 99.6 %. Small sized (< 0.1 mm) fragment shaped microplastics are the most common in effluent samples. The results indicate that permeable pavements are a powerful tool to capture microplastics and tire wear particles, especially by surface and geotextile layers. The study aims to shed light on the complex mobilisation mechanisms of microplastics, providing valuable insights for addressing the growing environmental concern of microplastic pollution in urban areas.This research is developed within the framework of the projects ENGODRAIN (grant number RTI2018-094217-B-C31) and SUDSLong-VLC (grant number PID2021-122946OB-C32) funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by “ERDF A way of making Europe”.

An analytical procedure for the study of the documented construction process of the Seminary-School of “Corpus Christi” in Valencia (Spain)

[ES] El procedimiento de análisis de la secuencia constructiva de un edificio histórico debe establecer la relación entre el estudio de la documentación que se conserva y el estado actual del mismo, advirtiendo las incongruencias que se produzcan. Este trabajo se centra en el Colegio-Seminario de Corpus Christi de Valencia, que cuenta con una antigüedad de 400 años y conserva abundante documentación original relativa a su construcción. Se analizan con detalle todos los aspectos relacionados con la arquitectura y la construcción del edificio, aclarando cómo se produjo el proceso de construcción, facilitando un estudio gráfico de los gastos y una hipótesis tridimensional de la secuencia constructiva. La metodología que se propone puede servir para el estudio de procesos constructivos en otros edificios históricos.[EN] The analysis procedure of the historic building construction sequence must establish the relationship between the documentation study that is conserved and its current state, noting the inconsistencies that occur. This paper focuses on the Seminary-School of Corpus Christi of Valencia, which is 400 years old and retains plenty of original documents relating to its construction. All aspects of the architecture and the construction of the building are analyzed in detail. A graphic study of the costs and three-dimensional hypothesis of the building construction sequence clarify how occurred its construction process. The proposed methodology can be used to study other construction processes in historical buildings.Lerma Elvira, C.; Mas Tomas, MDLA.; Gil Benso, E.; Galiana Agullo, M. (2014).

Entrepreneurship culture, total factor productivity growth and technical progress: Patterns of convergence towards the technological frontier

A firm's set of knowledge processes may be affected by the entrepreneurial culture of the country in which it is located. Total factor productivity, mainly associated with technical progress, accounts for most differences over time and across countries. In the present work we examine the determinants of total factor productivity growth in 26 OECD countries between 1965 and 2010, breaking them down into changes in technical efficiency and shifts in technology overtime. Using the US as the technology frontier, different patterns of productivity growth emerge between world technology leaders and countries with low initial levels of productivity. Whereas changes in efficiency seem to be the main result of the evolution in the stock of knowledge in technologically dependent economies, suggesting that less advanced economies can benefit from their relative backwardness, domestic research effort appears to be a relevant factor for technology leaders.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition)1.

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being asked and the system being used. Moreover, no individual assay is perfect for every situation, calling for the use of multiple techniques to properly monitor autophagy in each experimental setting. Finally, several core components of the autophagy machinery have been implicated in distinct autophagic processes (canonical and noncanonical autophagy), implying that genetic approaches to block autophagy should rely on targeting two or more autophagy-related genes that ideally participate in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fide autophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation in the field
