This contribution tries to show how the Spanish National Museum of Science and Technology both participates and helps in the study and preservation of collections of scientifc instruments in institutions not devoted to museology

Going to Far and Distant Spaces? A multimodal analysis of gender stereotypes through songs in Hercules and Moana

Walt Disney Company se ha convertido en una gran empresa con influencia en todo el mundo gracias a su contenido intergeneracional. Por este motivo, es esencial estudiar cómo aparecen representados los roles de género en sus producciones. En este TFG analizaremos dos personajes, uno femenino y uno masculino, en dos películas de Disney, Hercules y Vaiana, a través de la canción principal de cada película. Para llevar a cabo este estudio, seguiremos los principios del Análisis Crítico del Discurso centrándonos en los sujetos, la transitividad, la modalidad y las metáforas. El objetivo final es ver si los dos personajes están ligados o no a los roles que les han sido asignados tradicionalmente a hombres y mujeres.Walt Disney Company has become a great industry with influence all over the world due to their intergenerational content. For this reason, stuyding the way in which their material presents gender roles is essential. In this dissertation we will look at the representation of a male and a female character in two Disney films, Hercules and Moana, through the analysis of the main song that appears in each film. This analysis will be carried out following the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis with regards to subects, transitivity, modality and metapors. The final purpose is to see if the two characters in the film stick or not to the roles that have been traditionally assigned to their gender.Departamento de Filología InglesaGrado en Estudios Inglese

Pruebas de resistencia del sistema financiero europeo: retrospectiva del año 2011

Los Test de Estrés son realizados por los supervisores nacionales, el Banco de España en el caso español, y hasta el 31 de diciembre del año 2010 también por el Comité de Supervisores Bancarios Europeos (CEBS). Estas iniciativas no son más que simulaciones hechas sobre el papel acerca de la capacidad de los bancos y cajas para enfrentarse a un deterioro general de la economía y algunas de sus secuelas como un aumento del desempleo, el impago de créditos y la devaluación de sus inversiones.The Stress Tests are conducted by national supervisors - in Spain’s case, the Bank of Spain - and up to 31st December 2010 were also carried out by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). These initiatives amount to mere simulations on paper about the capacity of banks and savings banks to deal with a generalised slump in the economy and some of its consequences, such as increased unemployment, credit default and devaluation of their investments

Margins, General Expenses and Efficiency of Spanish Cooperative Banks (2001–2010)Subtitle as needed

The objective of this study is to analyze and evaluate the margins, general expenses and efficiency in the sector of Spanish cooperatives banks during 2001–2010. This study is based on an analytical development in the process of change that occurred in the financial sector, specifically with the deposits, during the mentioned period. In this regard, it was found that the advantages that the cooperatives banks had obtained in the past, which had made them competitive, decreased during the current crisis. The basic and ordinary spread of these institutions has been overcome by the margins of commercial bank

Potential Protective Role Exerted by Secoiridoids from Olea europaea L. in Cancer, Cardiovascular, Neurodegenerative, Aging-Related, and Immunoinflammatory Diseases

Iridoids, which have beneficial health properties, include a wide group of cyclopentane [c] pyran monoterpenoids present in plants and insects. The cleavage of the cyclopentane ring leads to secoiridoids. Mainly, secoiridoids have shown a variety of pharmacological effects including anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, neuroprotective, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity, which increase the interest of studying these types of bioactive compounds in depth. Secoiridoids are thoroughly distributed in several families of plants such as Oleaceae, Valerianaceae, Gentianaceae and Pedialaceae, among others. Specifically, Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae) is rich in oleuropein (OL), dimethyl-OL, and ligstroside secoiridoids, and their hydrolysis derivatives are mostly OL-aglycone, oleocanthal (OLE), oleacein (OLA), elenolate, oleoside-11-methyl ester, elenoic acid, hydroxytyrosol (HTy), and tyrosol (Ty). These compounds have proved their efficacy in the management of diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and viral and microbial infections. Particularly, the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties of secoiridoids from the olive tree (Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae)) have been suggested as a potential application in a large number of inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated diseases. Thus, the purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances in the protective role of secoiridoids derived from the olive tree (preclinical studies and clinical trials) in diseases with an important pathogenic contribution of oxidative and peroxidative stress and damage, focusing on their plausible mechanisms of the action involved.España Ministerio de Economía y Competitivida

Deconvoluting the biology and druggability of protein lipidation using chemical proteomics

Lipids are indispensable cellular building blocks, and their post-translational attachment to proteins makes them important regulators of many biological processes. Dysfunction of protein lipidation is also implicated in many pathological states, yet its systematic analysis presents significant challenges. Thanks to innovations in chemical proteomics, lipidation can now be readily studied by metabolic tagging using functionalized lipid analogs, enabling global profiling of lipidated substrates using mass spectrometry. This has spearheaded the first deconvolution of their full scope in a range of contexts, from cells to pathogens and multicellular organisms. Protein N-myristoylation, S-acylation, and S-prenylation are the most well-studied lipid post-translational modifications because of their extensive contribution to the regulation of diverse cellular processes. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the study of these post-translational modifications, with an emphasis on how novel mass spectrometry methods have elucidated their roles in fundamental biological processes
