    Junto con los contenidos conceptuales, los estudiantes de ingeniería deben saber identificar e interpretar correctamente determinados elementos discursivos que caracterizan el  lenguaje científico. Entre los  elementos multifuncionales mås frecuentes en la lengua inglesa se encuentra la partícula as, la cual puede desempeñar dife- rentes funciones gramaticales, sintåcticas y retóricas.En el presente trabajo analizamos los usos de la partícula as en inglés técnico y general basåndonos en un corpus de aproximada-mente 15.000 palabras para cada género. Los resultados nos han permitido establecer las diferencias de funcionamiento de la partícula as en ambos géneros con fines didåcticos para desarrollar estrategias de lectura eficaces fundamentalmente en la enseñanza de inglés para fines específicos.Along with the conceptual meaning of discourse, engineering students should identify and understand the use of those language devices which are typical of technical English. The particle as is one of the most frequent lexical devices of the English language because of the wide range of functions it can develop.In the present work we analyse the uses of as in general and technical English based on a corpus of about 15,000 words for each variety of English.The results obtained in this study will help us identify the real uses of particle as in general and technical English to develop more efficient reading skills and strategies

    Background: With over 7,500 cases notified since April 2022, Spain has experienced the highest incidence of mpox in Europe. From July 12th onwards, the Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavaria Nordic (MVA-BN) smallpox vaccine was offered as pre-exposure prophylaxis for individuals at high-risk of mpox, including those receiving pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (HIV-PrEP). Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of one dose of MVA-BN vaccine as pre-exposure against mpox virus (MPXV) infection in persons on HIV-PrEP. Methods: We conducted a national retrospective cohort study between July 12 and December 12, 2022. Individuals ≄18 years, receiving HIV-PrEP as of July 12 and with no previous MPXV infection or vaccination were eligible. Each day, we matched individuals receiving a first dose of MVA-BN vaccine and unvaccinated controls of the same age group and region. We used a Kaplan-Meier estimator and calculate risk ratios (RR) and vaccine effectiveness (VE = 1-RR). Results: We included 5,660 matched pairs, with a median follow-up of 62 days (interquartile range 24-97). Mpox cumulative incidence was 5.6 per 1,000 (25 cases) in unvaccinated and 3.5 per 1,000 (18 cases) in vaccinated. No effect was found during days 0-6 post-vaccination (VE -38.3; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): -332.7; 46.4), but VE was 65% in ≄7 days (95%CI 22.9; 88.0) and 79% in ≄14 days (95%CI 33.3; 100.0) post-vaccination. Conclusions: One dose of MVA-BN vaccine offered protection against mpox in a most-at-risk population shortly after the vaccination. Further studies need to assess the VE of a second dose and the duration of protection over time.S

    Estudio contrastivo de la elipsis en inglés técnico y literario

    Various studies have shown that reading comprehension is one of the most complex communicative skills for Spanish students, who have difficulties in accurately understanding the message conveyed in the written text, in particular in those cases in which the use of cohesion devices based on the principle of Âżverbatim recoverabilityÂż is involved. One, and probably the most complex of such textual resources is ellipsis, as it lacks a distinctive mark in the text indicating the omission of some part of the information. The main objective of the present work is to gain a deeper understanding of the process of textual ellipsis through the comparative analysis of literary vs. technical texts for teaching purposes.Diversos estudios han demostrado que la comprensiĂłn lectora es una de las destrezas lingĂŒĂ­sticas de mayor complejidad para nuestros estudiantes que tienen problemas a la hora de descifrar los recursos textuales que utiliza la lengua inglesa para transmitir el mensaje, basados en la economĂ­a del lenguaje. Parte de ese complejo entramado textual consiste en omitir algunas unidades de informaciĂłn que son recuperables del resto del discurso. Pero, dado que este recurso discursivo de la elisiĂłn carece de marca distintiva en el texto, su identificaciĂłn resulta mĂĄs complicada que la de otros aspectos retĂłricos. Por ello hemos querido profundizar en la comprensiĂłn del proceso de elisiĂłn mediante un anĂĄlisis comparativo de utilizaciĂłn de este recurso en inglĂ©s literario y cientĂ­fico con fines fundamentalmente pedagĂłgicos

    Estudi comparatiu de l'Ășs de la partĂ­cula "as" en anglĂšs literari i tĂšcnic

    Junt amb els continguts conceptuals, els estudiants d'enginyeria han d’identificar i interpretar determinats elements discursius que caracteritzen el llenguatge cientĂ­fic. Entre els elements multifuncionals mĂ©s freqĂŒents en la llengua anglesa la partĂ­cula as pot exercir diferents funcions gramaticals, sintĂ ctiques i retĂČriques.En el present treball analitzem els diferents usos de la partĂ­cula as en anglĂšs tĂšcnic i general basant-nos en l'anĂ lisi d'un corpus d'aproximadament 15.000 paraules per a cada gĂšnere. Els resultats de l'anĂ lisi ens han permĂšs establir les diferĂšncies de funcionament de la partĂ­cula as en els dos gĂšneres per a desenvolupar estratĂšgies de lectura eficaces, fonamentalment en l'ensenyament d'anglĂšs per a finalitats especifiques.</p
