La localización del manga en el mercado español actual

La traducción no consiste simplemente en intercambiar palabras de una lengua a otra, sino en reproducir y transmitir un mensaje que ha sido generado en un contexto sociocultural específico a un destinatario perteneciente a un contexto diferente. Para ello se necesita conocer no sólo el idioma, también la cultura en la que el mensaje ha sido creado. Este TFG tiene como objetivo principal analizar el proceso mediante el cual un cómic japonés es localizado para ser introducido con éxito en el mercado español, desde el momento en que sale de Japón hasta que es comercializado en España. El procedimiento de la localización engloba diferentes fases, que incluyen la traducción. Por este motivo también es mi propósito examinar y estudiar las barreras idiomáticas que suponen el idioma y la cultura japoneses, así como las técnicas de adaptación que proceden para la correcta localización.Translation does not consist in just changing words from a language to another, but also reproducing and conveying a message which has been generated in a specific sociocultural context to a receiver who belongs to a different context. To do such task, having knowledge of not only the language but the culture in which the message has been created as well is required. This final degree project is mainly aimed to analyzing the process in which a Japanese comic is localized to be successfully introduced into the Spanish market, from the moment it comes out of Japan until the moment it is commercialized in Spain. The localization process involves different stages, which include translating. For this reason, it is my purpose as well to examine and study the language barriers involved in Japanese language and culture, in addition to the adaptation techniques that are required for a correct localization.Universidad de Sevilla.

Criterios que utilizan los alumnos universitarios de primer ciclo para definir ser vivo

In our work we have tried to find out to what extent university students in their first three courses apply those criteria defining «the living things» concept. We have verified that they focus their attention on physiological aspects especially perceptible and macroscopic ones rather than on universal and microscopic characteristics

Hacia la innovación de las actividades prácticas desde la formación del profesorado

Photosynthetic active radiation, solar irradiance and the CIE standard sky classification

Plant growth is directly related to levels of photosynthetic photon flux density, Qp. The improvement of plant-growth models therefore requires accurate estimations of the Qp parameter that is often indirectly calculated on the basis of its relationship with solar irradiation, RS, due to the scarcity of ground measurements of photosynthetic photon flux density. In this experimental campaign in Burgos, Spain, between April 2019 and January 2020, an average value of the Qp/Rs ratio is determined on the basis of measurements at ten-minute intervals. The most influential factor in the Qp/Rs ratio, over and above any daily or seasonal pattern, is the existence of overcast sky conditions. The CIE standard sky classification can be used to establish an unequivocal characterization of the cloudiness conditions of homogeneous skies. In this study, the relation between the CIE standard sky type and Qp/Rs is investigated. Its conclusions were that the Qp/Rs values, the average of which was 1.93 0.15 mol J�����1, presented statistically significant di erences for each CIE standard sky type. The overcast sky types presented the highest values of the ratio, while the clear sky categories presented the lowest and most dispersed values. During the experimental campaign, only two exceptions were noted for covered and partial covered sky-type categories, respectively, sky types 5 and 9. Their values were closer to those of categories classified as clear sky according to the CIE standard. Both categories presented high uniformity in terms of illumination.Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, grant number RTI2018-098900-B-I00 and Consejería de Educación, Junta de Castilla y León, grant number BU021G1

A Numerical Simulation of an Experimental Melting Process of a Phase-Change Material without Convective Flows

The melting process of lauric acid in a square container heated from the top surface was numerically studied from an experimental case. Knowledge of this process is of special interest for computationally efficient modeling systems, such as PCM-enhanced photovoltaic panels in horizontal positions or energy storage using PCM embedded on flat surfaces. In these systems, the geometric arrangement of the PCM hinders the fluid-phase movements through natural convection, which slows the melting process and can cause overheating in the fluid phase. Using Ansys Fluent Software, three different approaches and two simulation methods, enthalpy-porosity and effective heat capacity, were developed for the numerical study. The results were compared with experimental measurements in a successful evaluation of the accuracy of computational fluid dynamics simulations. It could be observed that the effective heat capacity method presented significant advantages over the enthalpy-porosity method, since similar accuracy results were obtained, and a lower computational cost was required.The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by the Regional Government of Castilla y León under the “Support Program for Recognized Research Groups of Public Universities of Castilla y León” (BU021G19) and the Spanish Ministry of Science & Innovation under the R+D+i state program “Challenges Research Projects” (Ref.

The Creation of an Experimental Camp of Protohistory at the Iberian Settlement of Estinclells (Verdú, Urgell, Catalonia)

The site of Estinclells is an Iberian Culture settlement in the Municipality of Verdú, Urgell (Catalonia) dating from thethird century BC (See Figures 1 and 2). Archaeological work was carried out between 2002 and 2014 under the auspices of the Regional Museum of Urgell (Museu Comarcal de l’Urgell) and the Archaeology Section of the Centre d’Estudis Lacetans in the framework of the research project entitled, "Economy and Evolution of the Iberian population in the Corb, Ondara and Sió River Valleys: Excavation of the Iberian Settlement of Estinclells, Verdú

Solar Ultraviolet Irradiance Characterization under All Sky Conditions in Burgos, Spain

Solar Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR), which is identified as a major environmental health hazard, is responsible for a variety of photochemical reactions with direct effects on urban and aquatic ecosystems, human health, plant growth, and the deterioration of industrial systems. Ground measurements of total solar UVR are scarce, with low spatial and temporal coverage around the world, which is mainly due to measurement equipment maintenance costs and the complexities of equipment calibration routines; however, models designed to estimate ultraviolet rays from global radiation measurements are frequently used alternatives. In an experimental campaign in Burgos, Spain, between September 2020 and June 2022, average values of the ratio between horizontal global ultraviolet irradiance (GHUV) and global horizontal irradiance (GHI) were determined, based on measurements at ten-minute intervals. Sky cloudiness was the most influential factor in the ratio, more so than any daily, monthly, or seasonal pattern. Both the CIE standard sky classification and the clearness index were used to characterize the cloudiness conditions of homogeneous skies. Overcast sky types presented the highest values of the ratio, whereas the clear sky categories presented the lowest and most dispersed values, regardless of the criteria used for sky classification. The main conclusion, for practical purposes, was that the ratio between GHUV and GHI can be used to model GHUV.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, grant numbers RTI2018-098900-B-I00 and TED2021-131563B-I00, and Junta de Castilla y León, grant numbers INVESTUN/19/BU/0004 and INVESTUN/22/BU/0001

The kinematics of the rotary into helical gear transmission

A higher kinematic pair that converts rotary motion into helical motion is presented as an alternative to the screw joint (a lower kinematic pair). First, the existence of a rolling transmission pair for a rotary-to-helical motion conversion is proven. Then, the corresponding pair of rolling surfaces (pitch surfaces) and their relative position is defined for any set of kinematic transmission parameters. Some calculated examples are presented. A method for gear-tooth forming from the pitch surfaces using Boolean operations with a computer-aided design (CAD) program is proposed. Finally, applying this methodology, a pair of gears for rotary into helical transmission has been obtained using a 3D printer. The prototype presents negligible clearances and backlash, high reversibility, as well as continuous gearing without interference. The meshing equation for a simple generating surface is also provided.The authors acknowledge the Spanish Found through the project "MAQSTATUS", DPI 2015-69325-C2-1-R, for financial support.
