Tratado de Brujería Vasca: Descripción de la Inconstancia de los Malos Ángeles o Demonios

Reseña bibliográfica de la obra "Tratado de Brujería Vasca. Descripción de la Inconstancia de los Malos Ángeles o Demonios" de Pierre Lancre. Se trata de uno de los tratados escritos por el juez del "Parlament" de Burdeos, que a comienzos del siglo XVII realizó en calidad de tal, y dotado de terribles y eficaces poderes especiales, una de las más memorables cazas de brujas. Sus acciones, y los tratados que escribió, publicó y difundió para darlas a conocer, son muy familiares tanto para los historiadores como para los antropólogos, incluso a nivel internacional

De vuelta a las Montañas de la Luna. Notas sobre la documentación de archivo disponible para la reconstrucción de la antropología marítima del País Vasco

El presente trabajo reflexiona sobre los elementos y métodos a utilizar para reconstruir la Historia marítima del País Vasco. Para lograr ese objetivo propone, fundamentalmente, una intensificación y sistematización de la investigación en torno a diversos temas - comercio, pesca, contrabando, corso, etc. - que, como la mayor parte de ese campo de estudios apenas si han sido tratados, como se viene a demostrar por la notable cantidad de documentos disponibles, y aún no consultados, de los que se ofrece una muestra que pretende ser más significativa que exhaustiva en esta comunicación.Euskal Herriko Itsas Historia berreraikitzeko erabili beharreko osagaiez eta metodoez hausnartzen du lan honek. Helburu hori iristeko, lehenik merkataritza, arrantza, kontrabandoa, kort soa, etab. sakon eta sistematikoki ikertzea proposatzen da, zeren, ikerketa-alor horretako gai gehienak bezala, ia ez baitira ukitu orain arte. Eskura diren eta oraindik kontsultatu ez diren agiri ugariek frogatzen dute hori. Hain zuzen ere, agiri horien lagin bat eskaintzen da lan honetan. Lagina esanguratsua da bakarrik, ez osoa edo sakona.Ce travail fait une réflexion sur les éléments et les méthodes à utiliser pour reconstruire l'Histoire maritime du Pays Basque. Pour obtenir cet objectif, il propose, fondamentalement, une intensification et une systématisation de la recherche concernant différents thèmes - commerce, pêche, contrebande, course, etc. - qui, comme la plus grande partie de ce champ d'étude ont à peine été traités, tel que le démontre la grande quantité de documents disponibles, pas encore consultés, dont on offre un échantillon qui tente d'être plus significatif qu'exhaustif dans cette communication.This paper reflects on the elements and methods to be used to reconstruct the maritime History of the Basque Country. In order to achieve that objective it essentially proposes an intensification and systematisation of the research based on various subjects - trade, fishing, contraband, privateers... - which, as with a large part of that field of study, have hardly been covered. This can be seen by the notable number of documents available which have yet to be consulted, of which we offer a sample with the aim of being more significant than exhaustive in this paper

Eficiência de ferramentas de motivação e do uso de mídia social no controle da obesidade canina

A crescente casuística de cães obesos na clínica de cães tem sido um alerta aos médicos veterinários sobre a necessidade do desenvolvimento de novas ferramentas para a abordagem do paciente obeso, com o intuito de alcançar resultados satisfatórios em programas de redução de peso. Nesse estudo, foram selecionados 18 cães obesos ou acima do peso ideal, sem indícios de distúrbios endócrinos. Esses animais foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos de nove animais. Em um dos grupos foram utilizadas ferramentas estratégicas para modificação comportamental e ambiental para seus tutores e esse grupo foi assistido diariamente por comunicação em aplicativo digital de mensagens instantâneas (WhatsApp(R)). No outro grupo, essas ferramentas não foram utilizadas e os animais foram acompanhados somente na consulta mensal. A variável analisada foi o percentual de perda de peso de cada animal em um mês de aplicação dométodo. Os animais do grupo assistido diariamente apresentaram média de perda de peso de 5,17%, enquanto que os animais do grupo não assistido apresentaram média de 3,31%. Pelos resultados é possível afirmar que os animais do grupo assistido perderam aproximadamente 1,6 vezes a mais de peso que os animais não assistidos. Embora os resultados sejam motivadores, não houve diferença estatística com grau de significância de 0,05, isso provavelmente se deve ao número amostral de dezoito animais ser muito pequeno.The increasing number of obese dogs in veterinary practice has been a warning to veterinarians about the need to develop new tools to approach the obese patient, aiming to attain satisfactory results in weight loss programs. A total of 18 obese or overweight dogs with no evidence of endocrine disorders were selected for this study. These animals were randomly divided into two groups with 9 animals each. In one of the groups, strategic tools were used by their tutors, aimed at behavioral and environmental modification, and this group was assisted daily through communication using a digital instant messaging app (WhatsApp(R)). In the other group, these tools were not used, and the animals were followed only during the monthly consultation. The analyzed variable was the percentage of weight loss of each animal in one month of the method used. The animals of the daily assisted group had a mean weight loss of 5.17%, while the animalsof the non-assisted group had a mean weight loss of 3.31%. Considering the results, one can state that the animals in the assisted group lost approximately 1.6 times more weight than the unassisted animals, when comparing the mean and the median weight loss percentage in the two groups. Although the results are encouraging, there was no statistical difference with a significance level of 0.05, and this is probably due to the small sample size, consisting of 18 animals

Agile methodologies in times of pandemic : acquisition of employment skills in higher education

Purpose ¿ This research aims to focus on analysing the opinion of university students on the effects that agile methodologies are having on their education during this time of pandemic that is affecting the normal functioning of on-site universities. Specifically, the authors intend to analyse the effect that different constructs have on the development of their skills for labour markets through the application of agile methodologies in blended learning. Thus, the authors will analyse the effects of intrinsic motivation, the interactivity of the system, the involvement of students, their engagement to these activities and their level of satisfaction with this training process. Design/methodology/approach ¿ The authors conducted research based on the use of agile methodologies applied to higher education. To this end, various activities were designed within different subjects in marketing area. 115 business students were consulted, who valued their experience and the usefulness of this methodology in relation to the improvement of the learning process. Findings ¿ The results of the research show the usefulness of agile methodologies for university students. In addition, these methodologies allow them to develop certain skills that will be important for labour markets, such as teamwork, motivation and engagement to tasks to be developed. Originality/value ¿The main value of this research lies in the application of a methodology from the business environment in higher education and the subsequent analysis of the students¿ assessment of these agile methodologies in terms of their usefulness for their professional future.

Tourists' perceptions, emotions, and attitudes during a mega sport event

The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions and emotions of the sports-fan tourists experienced during a mega sport event to analyse the influence exerted by a sports event on a sponsoring brand. An empirical study was performed by collecting information from 364 sport-fan tourists during the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe. Results show that fans' emotions, event perceived value, fans' attitudes and sponsor perceived value are related terms. Moreover, to explain the success of a sponsoring brand, there are three relevant antecedents (attendees' motivation, exposure to the event, and team identification). In comparison, two antecedents seem to be irrelevant (event involvement and sponsor familiarity). This investigation has made progress in researching the backgrounds that determine the sports-fan tourist behaviour in an integrated way to explain how a sponsoring brand can benefit from it
