Estudio de caso de lenguaje inclusivo en interpretación de conferencias: análisis de contenido de discursos interpretados en el Parlamento Europeo

Treball Final de Grau en Traducció i Interpretació. Codi: TI0983. Curs: 2018/2019El lenguaje inclusivo se está abriendo paso en las sociedades actuales como política de gestión de la diversidad de identidades que compartimos los espacios de comunicación. Se trata de un conjunto de opciones de tipo léxico o gramatical que persigue una representación equitativa de las identidades de género, muy especialmente de los géneros femeninos y masculinos. En los Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación (ETI) tenemos pocos datos referidos a la implantación del lenguaje inclusivo o la persistencia de su opuesto, el lenguaje exclusivo. Este trabajo parte de ese vacío con la intención de visibilizar la necesidad de su análisis con un estudio de caso: discursos del Parlamento Europeo interpretados por una muestra de intérpretes desglosados por género. Para ello, se compila y transcribe un corpus oral de interpretaciones inglés-español y se emplea el análisis de contenido para la obtención de los datos, valiéndonos del programa NVivo. La selección del corpus interpretado en la combinación lingüística mencionada tiene en cuenta la necesidad de marcar el género en español al interpretar segmentos en inglés que no están marcados. Los resultados indican variaciones, ya que muestran que tan solo uno de los cuatro intérpretes de la muestra, de género masculino, aplica la perspectiva de género en su interpretación, mientras que las dos intérpretes y el segundo intérprete varón, no utilizan con frecuencia el lenguaje inclusivo a la hora de interpretar. El trabajo debe tomarse como un estudio de caso con una limitación evidente en cuanto a la extensión del corpus (3477 palabras en español, interpretadas de 3698 palabras en inglés) y la variedad de intérpretes incluidas en la muestra (dos mujeres y dos hombres)

Influencia de los polimorfismos genéticos del sistema opioide y endocannabinoide en la dependencia alcohólica

[ES] Es conocido que los factores genéticos desempeñan un papel esencial en el desarrollo de dependencia alcohólica. Sin embargo, y a pesar de los múltiples estudios llevados a cabo hasta el momento, la implicación de determinadas mutaciones genéticas en los sistemas que participan en la neurobiología del alcoholismo sigue siendo una incógnita. El objetivo general de nuestro trabajo fue, por tanto, verificar si los individuos poseedores de determinadas mutaciones en genes que codifican proteínas esenciales en la neurobiología del alcoholismo presentaban una mayor incidencia de dependencia del alcohol, en comparación con individuos con abuso de esta sustancia, pero sin dependencia, y con voluntarios sanos

Women´s Role in the Social Action of the Catholic Church.

This study proposes a look at the role of women in the social action of the Catholic Church from an approach to her Social Doctrine, a recognition of women founders of welfare congregations and two intellectuals socially committed to their time (Concepción Arenal and Edith Stein). Finally, we recover the concept of social conscience in the 21st century, from the gospel message and the participation of women in the Church, posed as solidarity in a care economy.pre-print490 K

The family of DOF transcription factors in Brachypodium distachyon: phylogenetic comparison with rice and barley DOFs and expression profiling

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that have played a central role both in evolution and in domestication, and are major regulators of development in living organisms. Plant genome sequences reveal that approximately 7% of all genes encode putative TFs. The DOF (DNA binding with One Finger) TF family has been associated with vital processes exclusive to higher plants and to their close ancestors (algae, mosses and ferns). These are seed maturation and germination, light-mediated regulation, phytohormone and plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, etc. In Hordeum vulgare and Oryza sativa, 26 and 30 different Dof genes, respectively, have been annotated. Brachypodium distachyon has been the first Pooideae grass to be sequenced and, due to its genomic, morphological and physiological characteristics, has emerged as the model system for temperate cereals, such as wheat and barley. RESULTS: Through searches in the B. distachyon genome, 27 Dof genes have been identified and a phylogenetic comparison with the Oryza sativa and the Hordeum vulgare DOFs has been performed. To explore the evolutionary relationship among these DOF proteins, a combined phylogenetic tree has been constructed with the Brachypodium DOFs and those from rice and barley. This phylogenetic analysis has classified the DOF proteins into four Major Cluster of Orthologous Groups (MCOGs). Using RT-qPCR analysis the expression profiles of the annotated BdDof genes across four organs (leaves, roots, spikes and seeds) has been investigated. These results have led to a classification of the BdDof genes into two groups, according to their expression levels. The genes highly or preferentially expressed in seeds have been subjected to a more detailed expression analysis (maturation, dry stage and germination). CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of the expression profiles of the Brachypodium Dof genes with the published functions of closely related DOF sequences from the cereal species considered here, deduced from the phylogenetic analysis, indicates that although the expression profile has been conserved in many of the putative orthologs, in some cases duplication followed by subsequent divergence may have occurred (neo-functionalization)

Nucleation and Crystallization of PA6 Composites Prepared by T-RTM: Effects of Carbon and Glass Fiber Loading

Thermoplastic resin transfer molding (T-RTM) is attracting much attention due to the need for recyclable alternatives to thermoset materials. In this work, we have prepared polyamide-6 (PA6) and PA6/fiber composites by T-RTM of caprolactam. Glass and carbon fibers were employed in a fixed amount of 60 and 47 wt.%, respectively. Neat PA6 and PA6 matrices (of PA6-GF and PA6-CF) of approximately 200 kg/mol were obtained with conversion ratios exceeding 95%. Both carbon fibers (CF) and glass fibers (GF) were able to nucleate PA6, with efficiencies of 44% and 26%, respectively. The α crystal polymorph of PA6 was present in all samples. The lamellar spacing, lamellar thickness and crystallinity degree did not show significant variations in the samples with or without fibers as result of the slow cooling process applied during T-RTM. The overall isothermal crystallization rate decreased in the order: PA6-CF > PA6-GF > neat PA6, as a consequence of the different nucleation efficiencies. The overall crystallization kinetics data were successfully described by the Avrami equation. The lamellar stack morphology observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) is consistent with 2D superstructural aggregates (n = 2) for all samples. Finally, the reinforcement effect of fibers was larger than one order of magnitude in the values of elastic modulus and tensile strength.We gratefully acknowledge the Basque Government by the funding received through the ELKARTEK 2017 Cooperative Fundamental Research project: ”Automotion Composites fabricated by RTM adapted to the 4.0 industrial philosophy (RTM4.0).

Impact of Cefotaxime Non-susceptibility on the Clinical Outcomes of Bacteremic Pneumococcal Pneumonia

Background: We aimed to analyze the impact of cefotaxime non-susceptibility on the 30-day mortality rate in patients receiving a third-generation cephalosporin for pneumococcal bacteremic pneumonia. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of prospectively collected data from the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. All adult patients with monomicrobial bacteremic pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae and treated with a third-generation cephalosporin from January 1991 to December 2016 were included. Risk factors associated with 30-day mortality were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: During the study period, 721 eligible episodes were identified, and data on the susceptibility to cefotaxime was obtainable for 690 episodes. Sixty six (10%) cases were due to a cefotaxime non-susceptible strain with a 30-day mortality rate of 8%. Variables associated with 30-day mortality were age, chronic liver disease, septic shock, and the McCabe score. Infection by a cefotaxime non-susceptible S. pneumoniae did not increase the mortality rate. Conclusion: Despite the prevalence of cefotaxime, non-susceptible S. pneumoniae has increased in recent years. We found no evidence to suggest that patients hospitalized with bacteremic pneumonia due to these strains had worse clinical outcomes than patients with susceptible strains

The family of DOF transcription factors in Brachypodium distachyon: BdDOF24 in germinating seeds

The DOF (DNA binding with One Finger) transcription factor (TF) family is characterized by a binding domain of 52 amino acid residues that is structured as a Cys2/Cys2 Zn2+ finger that recognizes the common core 5?-T/AAAAG-3? in the promoter regions of their target genes. DOF TFs have been associated with biological processes exclusive to higher plants and their close ancestors (algae, mosses and ferns)

Effect of dolomite decomposition under CO2 on its multicycle CO2 capture behaviour under calcium looping conditions

One of the major drawbacks that hinder the industrial competitiveness of the calcium looping (CaL) process for CO capture is the high temperature (∼930-950 °C) needed in practice to attain full calcination of limestone in a high CO partial pressure environment for short residence times as required. In this work, the multicycle CO capture performance of dolomite and limestone is analysed under realistic CaL conditions and using a reduced calcination temperature of 900 °C, which would serve to mitigate the energy penalty caused by integration of the CaL process into fossil fuel fired power plants. The results show that the fundamental mechanism of dolomite decomposition under CO has a major influence on its superior performance compared to limestone. The inert MgO grains resulting from dolomite decomposition help preserve a nanocrystalline CaO structure wherein carbonation in the solid-state diffusion controlled phase is promoted. The major role played by the dolomite decomposition mechanism under CO is clearly demonstrated by the multicycle CaO conversion behaviour observed for samples decomposed at different preheating rates. Limestone decomposition at slow heating rates yields a highly crystalline and poorly reactive CaCO structure that requires long periods to fully decarbonate and shows a severely reduced capture capacity in subsequent cycles. On the other hand, the nascent CaCO produced after dolomite half-decomposition consists of nanosized crystals with a fast decarbonation kinetics regardless of the preheating rate, thus fully decomposing from the very first cycle at a reduced calcination temperature into a CaO skeleton with enhanced reactivity as compared to limestone derived CaO.Junta de Andalucía FQM-5735 TEP-7858 TEP-1900España Mineco CTQ2014-52763-C2-1-R CTQ2014-52763-C2-2-
