Postraducción y nuevos textos digitales: reescrituras publicitarias en las redes sociales

[ES] La hipótesis de la que parte la presente tesis doctoral es que una gran parte del contenido difundido en redes sociales podría clasificarse como publicitario y que las empresas usan discursos personales y los reescriben en formas de anuncios cada vez más codificados. En ellos, la persuasión se hace a través de modos diferentes a la palabra, especialmente mediante el uso de contenido visual. Por ello, el objetivo principal es analizar el discurso publicitario en las redes sociales como postraducciones. A este, evidentemente, subyacen otros dos: aplicar el concepto de postraducción (Gentzler, 2017) a textos diferentes a los más tradicionales en nuestra disciplina con un enfoque cualitativo que se centre equitativamente tanto en el contenido lingüístico como en el plano visual, y demostrar que, a los textos aparentemente monolingües de las redes sociales, subyacen complejos procesos de traducción que pueden ser analizados y descritos con una metodología transdisciplinar y una definición amplia del concepto de traducción. La entrada de Instagram publicitaria constituye el principal objeto de estudio de la presente tesis. A pesar de poderla tratar como género discursivo de apariencia simple, en ella se imbrican diferentes lenguajes (desde la palabra hasta el sonido). Por estos motivos, es indispensable una metodología interdisciplinar. Tanto la noción de traducción como la de texto (Gottlieb 2005) de las que se parte son abiertas necesariamente, por lo que aquí tomamos como punto de partida una concepción de la traducción without/sans borders (Gentzler, 2012; Tymoczko, 2007). Así pues, usamos la perspectiva outward defendida por autores como Susan Bassnett (2014, 2017a, 2017b, 2018) o David Johnston (2013, 2017; también Susan Bassnett y David Johnston, 2019). Este enfoque casa con los Estudios de Postraducción de Arduini y Nergaard (2011) desarrollados también por Edwin Gentzler (2017, 2019) y su propuesta de ampliar el concepto central de la disciplina hacia reescrituras más allá de las lingüísticas. Puesto que la metodología es interdisciplinar, se recurre constantemente a otras áreas epistemológicas, en línea con la apertura propuesta por Bassnett (2017a, 2018). Concretamente, el corpus de estudio de la presente tesis lo componen entradas publicitarias de Instagram, seleccionadas siguiendo dos parámetros: reflejan la pandemia por la Covid-19 a través de diferentes lenguajes y se limitan a las publicadas entre marzo y diciembre del 2020. Si bien se reconoce que el corpus no es amplio, la intención es realizar un análisis cualitativo que sea exhaustivo y en el que se tenga en cuenta cada modo como un componente esencial del texto en el que interviene la traducción de diversas formas. El lenguaje verbal de los textos producidos por la marca emisora en dicha red social es exclusivamente en inglés, por ello, se utilizarán como documentos paralelos las cuentas de Twitter, Facebook y la propia página web de la empresa en español. Gracias a estos documentos paralelos vemos diferentes estrategias que oscilan entre la no traducción y la completa transcreación del contenido, pasando por la localización o la adaptación. De ahí que en el análisis se pongan de manifiesto características que varían entre lo macro y lo microtextual. A pesar de las restricciones en términos cuantitativos del corpus seleccionado, reconocemos la posibilidad de aplicar esta metodología a otros géneros y discursos más allá del publicitario

Accelerated change of land uses and repercussions on risks in the territory. The case of the extension of subtropical crops in the Axarquía of Malaga.

Permiso del editor para depositar en el repositorio institucional.The work is based on the perspective that focuses the genesis of a good part of the processes of environmental risk in human action on the territory. The study area is a small basin located in the Axarquía (Málaga Spain), a region that experiences a very accelerated process of change of traditional agricultural uses towards the intensive cultivation of subtropical tree species. These crops require drastic changes in the hillside morphology in order to terrach them. It is proposed an analysis of the consequences of the accelerated change of use on the risk processes, both of induction of those of natural origin (erosion, mass movements or flooding) and other technological (pollution of aquifers). Several parameters has been chosen to assess that impact on hazard in order to use them as indicators of the variation of it. The results show a general increase in hazard in this area

A Cannabigerol Derivative Suppresses Immune Responses and Protects Mice from Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Phytocannabinoids that do not produce psychotropic effects are considered of special interest as novel therapeutic agents in CNS diseases. A cannabigerol quinone, the compound VCE-003, has been shown to alleviate symptoms in a viral model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Hence, we studied T cells and macrophages as targets for VCE-003 and its efficacy in an autoimmune model of MS. Proliferation, cell cycle, expression of activation markers was assessed by FACs in human primary T cells, and cytokine and chemokine production was evaluated. Transcription was studied in Jurkat cells and RAW264.7 cells were used to study the effects of VCE-003 on IL-17-induced macrophage polarization to a M1 phenotype. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG35–55) immunization and spinal cord pathology was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Neurological impairment was evaluated using disease scores. We show here that VCE-003 inhibits CD3/CD28-induced proliferation, cell cycle progression and the expression of the IL-2Rα and ICAM-1 activation markers in human primary T cells. VCE-003 inhibits the secretion of Th1/Th17 cytokines and chemokines in primary murine T cells, and it reduces the transcriptional activity of the IL-2, IL-17 and TNFα promoters induced by CD3/CD28. In addition, VCE-003 and JWH-133, a selective CB2 agonist, dampened the IL-17-induced polarization of macrophages to a pro-inflammatory M1 profile. VCE-003 also prevented LPS-induced iNOS expression in microglia. VCE-003 ameliorates the neurological defects and the severity of MOG-induced EAE in mice through CB2 and PPARγ receptor activation. A reduction in cell infiltrates, mainly CD4+ T cells, was observed, and Th1 and Th17 responses were inhibited in the spinal cord of VCE-003-treated mice, accompanied by weaker microglial activation, structural preservation of myelin sheets and reduced axonal damage. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of VCE-003 as an agent for the treatment of human immune diseases with both inflammatory and autoimmune components

The effect of an online exercise programme on bone health in paediatric cancer survivors (iBoneFIT): study protocol of a multi-centre randomized controlled trial

Background: New approaches on paediatric cancer treatment aim to maintain long-term health. As a result of radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgery, paediatric cancer survivors tend to suffer from any chronic health condition. Endocrine dysfunction represents one of the most common issues and affects bone health. Exercise is key for bone mass accrual during growth, specifically plyometric jump training. The iBoneFIT study will investigate the effect of a 9-month online exercise programme on bone health in paediatric cancer survivors. This study will also examine the effect of the intervention on body composition, physical fitness, physical activity, calcium intake, vitamin D, blood samples quality of life and mental health. Methods: A minimum of 116 participants aged 6 to 18 years will be randomized into an intervention (n = 58) or control group (n = 58). The intervention group will receive an online exercise programme and diet counselling on calcium and vitamin D. In addition, five behaviour change techniques and a gamification design will be implemented in order to increase the interest of this non-game programme. The control group will only receive diet counselling. Participants will be assessed on 3 occasions: 1) at baseline; 2) after the 9 months of the intervention; 3) 4 months following the intervention. The primary outcome will be determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the hip structural analysis, trabecular bone score and 3D-DXA softwares. Secondary outcomes will include anthropometry, body composition, physical fitness, physical activity, calcium and vitamin D intake, blood samples, quality of life and mental health. Discussion: Whether a simple, feasible and short in duration exercise programme can improve bone health has not been examined in paediatric cancer survivors. This article describes the design, rationale and methods of a study intended to test the effect of a rigorous online exercise programme on bone health in paediatric cancer survivors. If successful, the iBoneFIT study will contribute to decrease chronic health conditions in this population and will have a positive impact in the society.The iBoneFIT project is funded by a fellowship from 'la Caixa' Foundation (ID 100010434). The fellowship code is LCF/BQ/PR19/11700007.

CIBERER : Spanish national network for research on rare diseases: A highly productive collaborative initiative

Altres ajuts: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII); Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación.CIBER (Center for Biomedical Network Research; Centro de Investigación Biomédica En Red) is a public national consortium created in 2006 under the umbrella of the Spanish National Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII). This innovative research structure comprises 11 different specific areas dedicated to the main public health priorities in the National Health System. CIBERER, the thematic area of CIBER focused on rare diseases (RDs) currently consists of 75 research groups belonging to universities, research centers, and hospitals of the entire country. CIBERER's mission is to be a center prioritizing and favoring collaboration and cooperation between biomedical and clinical research groups, with special emphasis on the aspects of genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular research of RDs. This research is the basis for providing new tools for the diagnosis and therapy of low-prevalence diseases, in line with the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) objectives, thus favoring translational research between the scientific environment of the laboratory and the clinical setting of health centers. In this article, we intend to review CIBERER's 15-year journey and summarize the main results obtained in terms of internationalization, scientific production, contributions toward the discovery of new therapies and novel genes associated to diseases, cooperation with patients' associations and many other topics related to RD research
