CURVY-LINEAS: Una aproximación al canon corporal curvy en la red

Esta investigación pretende ser una aproximación al nuevo canon corporal curvy a través de blogueras españolas de referencia, desde la antropología del cuerpo y con perspectiva de género. El ciberespacio –y en él la cultura-red- acoge, construye y difunde los discursos, imaginarios y prácticas que construyen los cuerpos de las blogueras curvys a través tres ejes fundamentales que las traviesan: la moda, la belleza y la dieta. Todo ello provoca que los cuerpos curvys se desliguen de los gordos convirtiéndose en normativos y visibles -dentro del canon y, por ende, rentables económicamente- ampliando la norma estética que subyuga los cuerpos femeninos gordos en vez de romperla. Ante esto, el activismo gordo se presenta como herramienta fundamental para la ruptura de la opresión gordofóbica y para el empoderamiento de los cuerpos femeninos gordos

The use of remote sensing to detect the consequences of erosion in gypsiferous soils

Tillage practices on sloping ground often result in unsustainable soil losses impairing soil functions such as crop productivity, water and nutrients storage, and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. A sloping olive grove (10%) was planted in shallow gypsiferous soils in 2004. It was managed by minimum tillage; the most frequent management practice in central Spain. The consequences of erosion were studied in soil samples (at 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm depths) by analyzing SOC, available water and gypsum content, and by detecting spectral signatures using an ASD FieldSpecPro® VIS/NIR-spectroradiometer. The Brightness index (BI), Shape index (FI), and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were derived from the ASD spectral signatures and from remote sensing (Sentinel-2 image) data. The development of these young olive trees was estimated from the measured diameter of the trunks (17 ± 18 cm diameter). In 20–30 cm of the soil, the carbon stock (38 ± 18 Mg ha−1) as well as the available water content (12 ± 6%) was scarce, affecting the productivity of the olive grove. The above-mentioned indices obtained from the laboratory samples and the pixels of the Sentinel-2 image were significantly (p < 0.01) correlated, with a correlation coefficient of around 0.4. The BI was related to the gypsum content and the slope of the plot. The FI was related to the carbon and water contents. The NDVI derived from the satellite image identified the influence of soil degradation on the trees and the carbon content. The spatial-temporal changes of the indices might help in tracking soil changes over timeThis research was funded by the Project ACCION, and is part of the Operative Group Lenosot, supported by the Rural Development Programme 2014 e 2020 of the Comunidad de Madrid Government (Spain).

Los mapas antiguos como fuente de información Aportes para su descripción documental

For libraries, old maps are, from the point of view of technical processing, one of the most complex document types. Due to its double nature, cartographical and historical, due to the variety of iconographic and symbolic characteristics that they present and the artistic elements used in their ornamentation, their analysis is not simple. This task is often made even more difficult because the lack of data –either because they were not incorporated at the time of creation of the work or a later loss of physical medium– and their texts are expressed in foreign or archaic languages. The purpose of this work is to present some of the characteristics that appear more often in these documents to help elaborate records that contain precise and exhaustive details. A more detailed documentary description will provide researchers of different disciplines with a more precise knowledge of the cartographical funds they consult

Por su doble naturaleza, cartográfica e histórica, por la variedad de las características iconográficas y simbólicas que presentan y por los elementos artísticos empleados en su ornamentación, su análisis documental no es sencillo. Esta tarea muchas veces se torna aún más trabajosa por la ausencia de datos –ya sea debido a que no fueron incorporados en el momento de creación de la obra o a una posterior pérdida de soporte– y por las lenguas extranjeras o arcaicas en la que están expresados los rótulos y textos que incluyen. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar algunas de las características que, con mayor frecuencia, aparecen en estos documentos para contribuir con la elaboración de registros que contengan detalles precisos y exhaustivos. Una descripción catalográfica con mayor nivel de detalle brindará a los investigadores de diferentes disciplinas, un conocimiento más preciso de los fondos cartográficos que consulten

Labile and stable soil organic carbon and physical improvements using groundcovers in vineyards from central Spain

Mediterranean vineyards are usually managed with continuous tillage to maintain bare soils leading to low organic matter stocks and soil degradation. Vineyards are part of the Mediterranean culture, their management can be sustainable. We propose the setup of two types of groundcovers with the aim to assess their potential influence to improve soil properties. A field trial was performed to compare the effects of a seeded (Brachypodium distachyon) and spontaneous groundcovers, on a set of soil parameters, in comparison with the traditional tillage in four vineyards located in the center of Spain. Three years after the groundcovers establishment soil organic carbon stocks increased up to 1.62 and 3.18 Mg ha− 1for the seeded and the spontaneous groundcovers, respectively, compared to conventional tillage. Both labile and stable fractions improved their soil organic carbon content with the use of groundcovers, particularly the labile fraction. Moreover, soil structure and functional soil properties improved through better aggregate stability, pore connectivity and infiltration rates. The higher root biomass input of the spontaneous groundcovers derived in higher soil organic carbon increases and soil quality improvement. Consequently, under low rainfall conditions (&lt; 400 mm per year) spontaneous vegetation, properly managed according to site conditions, is an effective soil management strategy to revert soil degradation and increase soil quality in Mediterranean vineyards

Perspectiva del Modelo Económico Social para la educación del ciudadano profesional

This research focuses on analyzing the projection of the education of the professional citizen of the Bachelor of Primary Education career of the José Martí Pérez University from the general sociopolitical laws that govern the Economic and Social Model of Cuba. Likewise, it is the result of a report carried out in 2019, in which admissibility criteria are collected, through the consultation of bibliographic sources and where the main reflections that are handled around the education of the professional citizen are exposed. Here, the used methodology is based on the materialist conception of history as a general method, based on Vygotsky’s theory and his cultural-historical approach, in which every process is mediated by man and his internal relationship. Broadly speaking, the results are oriented towards the role played by the university in the training of the student under the guidance of citizen education for professional life, as well as the role of the professional citizen by being able to orient himself in a conscious action subordinated to his culture and worldview.El objetivo de esta investigación se centra en analizar la proyección de la educación del ciudadano profesional de la carrera Licenciatura en Educación Primaria de la universidad José Martí Pérez desde las leyes generales sociopolíticas que rigen el Modelo Económico y Social de Cuba. Asimismo, es resultado de un informe realizado en el 2019, en el que se recogen criterios de admisibilidad, a través de la consulta de fuentes bibliográficas y donde se exponen las principales reflexiones que se manejan en torno a la educación del ciudadano profesional. En este caso se emplea una metodología que parte de la concepción materialista de la historia como método general, sustentada en la teoría de Vygotski y su enfoque histórico cultural, en el que todo proceso es mediatizado por el hombre y su relación interna. A grandes rasgos los resultados se orientan hacia el papel que juega la universidad en el entrenamiento del estudiante bajo la orientación de la educación ciudadana para la vida profesional, así como el rol del ciudadano profesional al ser capaz de orientarse en una acción consciente, subordinada a su cultura y su concepción del mundo.&nbsp

Facial Morphometrics, Voters’ Facial Preferences, and Electoral Outcomes

Elections operate in such manner that voters must have researched well the political backgrounds and platforms of the candidates they are voting. However, in absence of other information, voters tend to resort to cues such as their perception on facial appearances. This study is a pioneering study to adopt facial morphometric in testing the influence of candidates‘facial appearance on their electoral outcomes while omitting other variables such as incumbency, partisanship, and popularity. It also investigates the facial preferences of voters with low political knowledge. This study is divided two-fold. The first phase is a facial morphometric analysis of 33 senatorial candidates from the 2013 Philippine national elections. Adopting the geometric morphometric method from naturalsciences, the facial characteristics of the generated consensus image of the senatorial candidates were analyzed and identified. The second phase was conducted to verify the findings of the first phase of the study through survey questionnaires with sets of morphed faces of presumptive candidates. The researchers morphed faces from masculinity-femininity continuum and asked the facial preferences of chosen respondents. The result of the first phase was found to corroborate with the second phase. It showed that the consensus image of the 33 senatorial candidates is characterized by a hyper masculine and hyper feminine facial morphometry
