Tratamiento informativo de atentados terroristas por parte del semanario satírico El Jueves

El Trabajo de Investigación «Tratamiento informativo de atentados terroristas por parte del semanario satírico El Jueves» estudia y analiza el tratamiento de los conflictos yihadistas en la revista El Jueves. Con este cometido, hemos estudiado tres atentados yihadistas (Charlie Hebdo, Niza y Barcelona). Hemos seleccionado los atentados más relevantes de cada año, en el año 2015 hemos escogido el que se realizó en las instalaciones de la revista Charlie Hebdo antes que el que sucedió en distintos puntos de la nación francesa en noviembre por dos motivos. Primero, por tratarse del primer atentado contemporáneo a una de las principales potencias europeas en el último lustro. Y segundo, por tratarse de un atentado contra una revista satírica, al igual que la publicación que estamos analizando. Para comprobar el tratamiento informativo que han recibido por parte de El Jueves, hemos estudiado tres publicaciones distintas, la edición previa al acontecimiento, el número siguiente con conocimiento de causa del atentado y la tirada publicada con algo de distancia respecto al caso. Por tanto, el análisis que hemos llevado a cabo ha sido a través de nueve revistas en total. A su vez, el trabajo tiene dos partes diferenciadas, una es el tratamiento del mensaje a través del texto, y otra, es el tratamiento a través de la imagen. Son dos partes que confluyen en un mismo punto. El análisis del mensaje textual y el análisis del mensaje visual deberían de coincidir ya que está elaborado por el mismo autor.Universidad de Sevilla.

Evaluation of appendicitis risk prediction models in adults with suspected appendicitis

Background Appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency worldwide, but its diagnosis remains challenging. The aim of this study was to determine whether existing risk prediction models can reliably identify patients presenting to hospital in the UK with acute right iliac fossa (RIF) pain who are at low risk of appendicitis. Methods A systematic search was completed to identify all existing appendicitis risk prediction models. Models were validated using UK data from an international prospective cohort study that captured consecutive patients aged 16–45 years presenting to hospital with acute RIF in March to June 2017. The main outcome was best achievable model specificity (proportion of patients who did not have appendicitis correctly classified as low risk) whilst maintaining a failure rate below 5 per cent (proportion of patients identified as low risk who actually had appendicitis). Results Some 5345 patients across 154 UK hospitals were identified, of which two‐thirds (3613 of 5345, 67·6 per cent) were women. Women were more than twice as likely to undergo surgery with removal of a histologically normal appendix (272 of 964, 28·2 per cent) than men (120 of 993, 12·1 per cent) (relative risk 2·33, 95 per cent c.i. 1·92 to 2·84; P < 0·001). Of 15 validated risk prediction models, the Adult Appendicitis Score performed best (cut‐off score 8 or less, specificity 63·1 per cent, failure rate 3·7 per cent). The Appendicitis Inflammatory Response Score performed best for men (cut‐off score 2 or less, specificity 24·7 per cent, failure rate 2·4 per cent). Conclusion Women in the UK had a disproportionate risk of admission without surgical intervention and had high rates of normal appendicectomy. Risk prediction models to support shared decision‐making by identifying adults in the UK at low risk of appendicitis were identified

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

(1,2-Azole)bis(bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) Complexes: Electrochemistry, Luminescent Properties, And Electro- And Photocatalysts for CO2 Reduction

Producción CientíficaNew cis-(1,2-azole)-aquo bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (1,2-azole (az*H) = pzH (pyrazole), dmpzH (3,5-dimethylpyrazole), and indzH (indazole)) complexes are synthesized via chlorido abstraction from cis-[Ru(bipy)2Cl(az*H)]OTf. The latter are obtained from cis-[Ru(bipy)2Cl2] after the subsequent coordination of the 1,2-azole. All the compounds are characterized by 1H, 13C, 15N NMR spectroscopy as well as IR spectroscopy. Two chlorido complexes (pzH and indzH) and two aquo complexes (indzH and dmpzH) are also characterized by X-ray diffraction. Photophysical and electrochemical studies were carried out on all the complexes. The photophysical data support the phosphorescence of the complexes. The electrochemical behavior of all the complexes in an Ar atmosphere indicate that the oxidation processes assigned to Ru(II) → Ru(III) occurs at higher potentials in the aquo complexes. The reduction processes under Ar lead to several waves, indicating that the complexes undergo successive electron-transfer reductions that are centered in the bipy ligands. The first electron reduction is reversible. The electrochemical behavior in CO2 media is consistent with CO2 electrocatalyzed reduction, where the values of the catalytic activity [icat(CO2)/ip(Ar)] ranged from 2.9 to 10.8. Controlled potential electrolysis of the chlorido and aquo complexes affords CO and formic acid, with the latter as the major product after 2 h. Photocatalytic experiments in MeCN with [Ru(bipy)3]Cl2 as the photosensitizer and TEOA as the electron donor, which were irradiated with >300 nm light for 24 h, led to CO and HCOOH as the main reduction products, achieving a combined turnover number (TONCO+HCOO–) as high as 107 for 2c after 24 h of irradiation.This research was supported by the Junta de Castilla y León (ref.

1,2-Azolylamidino ruthenium(ii) complexes with DMSO ligands: electro- and photocatalysts for CO2 reduction

New 1,2-azolylamidino complexes fac-[RuCl(DMSO)3(NH[double bond, length as m-dash]C(R)az*-κ2N,N)]OTf [R = Me (2), Ph (3); az* = pz (pyrazolyl, a), indz (indazolyl, b)] are synthesized via chloride abstraction from their corresponding precursors cis,fac-[RuCl2(DMSO)3(az*H)] (1) after subsequent base-catalyzed coupling of the appropriate nitrile with the 1,2-azole previously coordinated. All the compounds are characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. Those derived from MeCN are also characterized by X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies showed several reduction waves in the range of −1.5 to −3 V. The electrochemical behavior in CO2 media is consistent with CO2 electrocatalytic reduction. The catalytic activity expressed as [icat(CO2)/ip(Ar)] ranged from 1.7 to 3.7 for the 1,2-azolylamidino complexes at voltages of ca. −2.7 to −3 V vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium. Controlled potential electrolysis showed rapid decomposition of the Ru catalysts. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiments using compounds 1b, 2b and 3b carried out in a CO2-saturated MeCN/TEOA (4 : 1 v/v) solution containing a mixture of the catalyst and [Ru(bipy)3]2+ as the photosensitizer under continuous irradiation (light intensity of 150 mW cm−2 at 25 °C, λ > 300 nm) show that compounds 1b, 2b and 3b allowed CO2 reduction catalysis, producing CO and trace amounts of formate. The combined turnover number for the production of formate and CO is ca. 100 after 8 h and follows the order 1b < 2b ≈ 3b.The authors in Valladolid gratefully acknowledge financial support from the Spanish MINECO, Spain (PGC2018-099470-B-I00), the Junta de Castilla y León (VA130618), and the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN, PID2021-124691NB-I00, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/FEDER, UE).

Puentes, no muros: contribuciones para una política progresista en migraciones

La migración internacional se ha convertido en un punto de articulación política de movimientos y partidos políticos de derecha y extrema derecha en diversas sociedades, tanto en Europa y Estados Unidos, como en países del Sur Global. Por años, incluso durante el fn de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el tema era la emigración, es decir, dejar el país de nacimiento. Así se consigna, por ejemplo, en el artículo 13 de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos. Hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo se describía a Estados Unidos como una nación de migrantes; hoy esta imagen parece escucharse mucho menos y más bien predominan narrativas que describen la migración como una “amenaza” (Sandoval, 2002, Chavez, 2008).UCR::Vicerrectoría de Investigación::Unidades de Investigación::Ciencias Sociales::Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales (IIS

Puentes, no muros : contribuciones para una política progresista en migraciones

La migración internacionalse ha convertido en un punto de articulación política de movimientos y partidos políticos de derecha y extrema derecha en diversas sociedades, tanto en Estados Unidos y Europa como en países del Sur global. En este contexto, Puentes, no muros aborda dos retos principales: tanto la crítica a la radicalización de las políticas y los discursos antiinmigrantes, que se expresan en conceptos como securitización, externalización de fronteras o racialización de quienes dejan sus países de manera forzada; como contribuir a dar contenido y forma a una política migratoria progresista. Este libro aspira a pensar y actuar más allá de las fronteras de las disciplinas y los territorios, y teje puentes entre colegas de Canadá, Estados Unidos, Centroamérica y Europa

First Measurement of the Total Inelastic Cross-Section of Positively-Charged Kaons on Argon at Energies Between 5.0 and 7.5 GeV

International audienceProtoDUNE Single-Phase (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a 770-ton liquid argon time projection chamber that operated in a hadron test beam at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2018. We present a measurement of the total inelastic cross section of charged kaons on argon as a function of kaon energy using 6 and 7 GeV/$c$ beam momentum settings. The flux-weighted average of the extracted inelastic cross section at each beam momentum setting was measured to be 380$\pm$26 mbarns for the 6 GeV/$c$ setting and 379$\pm$35 mbarns for the 7 GeV/$c$ setting
