La traducción del lenguaje coloquial en la serie Skins

En el presente trabajo se analiza el tratamiento que se le ha dado al lenguaje coloquial en los dos primeros capítulos de la serie británica Skins, partiendo de los subtítulos que proporciona Netflix. Se trata de ver cómo se ha enfrentado el traductor a los elementos lingüísticos del lenguaje coloquial y valorar si en el TM se han mantenido tanto la carga semántica como el registro del TO. Para poder llevar a cabo el análisis, se ha incluido un marco teórico en el que se explican las características de la subtitulación, del lenguaje coloquial y del lenguaje juvenil, que han servido para crear grupos en los que se incluyen los ejemplo encontrados. Por último, se ha estudiado qué técnicas se han utilizado con más frecuencia para cada grupo y se ha tratado de encontrar una razón por la que esto sucede

Características de las directoras de los centros escolares andaluces: análisis y propuestas para el cambio social

Aunque el número de profesoras es mayor que el de profesores en las escuelas e institutos los puestos de dirección han sido y son ocupados mayoritariamente por los hombres. En esta ponencia se presentan los resultados y una reflexión sobre las características personales y profesionales de las mujeres en las organizaciones educativas y los puestos de dirección. Entre los hallazgos de nuestra investigación se pone de manifiesto que el porcentaje de nuevas directoras va acercándose progresivamente al de sus colegas varones, sobre todo en mujeres que superan los 40 años, aunque todavía siguen dirigiendo mayoritariamente centros de Educación Infantil y Primaria y se concentran prioritariamente en centros de tamaño pequeño o mediano

Disability standards and guidelines for learning management systems: Evaluating accessibility

Currently, the great majority of institutions of higher education use Learning Content Management Systems (LCMSs) and Learning Management Systems (LMS) as pedagogical tools. In order to make these systems accessible to all students, it is important to take into account not only educational standards, but also standards of accessibility. It is essential to have with procedures and well-established method for evaluating these tools, so in this paper we propose a method for evaluating the accessibility of LCMSs and LMS based on a consideration of particular accessibility standards and other technological and human aspects. The method application is for all LMS, in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the evaluation method, we present a case study over the widely-used LMS Moodle1. In the case study, the accessibility of Moodle is evaluated thoroughly from the point of view of visually-impaired persons. The results obtained from the case study demonstrate that this LMS is partially accessible. The evaluation shows that the tool provides poor support to the authors of accessible educational contents.This research work was supported by the Research Network MA2VICMR (S2009/TIC-1542) (see www.mavir.net/), GEMMA (TSI-020302- 2010-141) and SAGAS (TSI-020100-2010-184) research projects.Publicad

The impact of role modeling on the professional identity of pre-service teachers

Research shows that mentoring EFL pre-service teachers during the practicum element of teacher-training courses allow them to get experience and to develop, improve, and put into practice their teaching skills. This professional practice can impact the development of a positive or negative professional identity in teachers. Current literature, however, seems to focus on the shaping of teacher identity and learner identity, but there is little empirical research regarding the development and shaping of the identity of pre-service teachers. Pre-service teachers are the main actors of this practicum stage of teacher-training programs and, therefore, by working in collaboration and being supported by a mentor as a role model, they develop their professional identity. The present qualitative case study sought to explore the shaping and re-shaping of the professional identity of fifteen EFL pre-service teachers of a northern Mexican university and the impact of working with English teacher mentors as role models. Information gathered through the constant comparative method of data from the participants taken from their reflective journals, mentor-observations, and self-observations suggests that although working with a positive role model encourages the development of a stronger teacher identity and an improvement in their teaching practice, working with a bad role model can also have the same results

Adsorption of humic substances on ferrihydrite affects its use as iron source by plants

Poorly crystalline Fe oxides are sources of Fe to plants. The adsorption of humic substances (HS) on these oxides alters its reactivity and stability in soils, and thus may affect Fe mobilization and uptake by plants from these compounds. This work aimed at studying how the adsorption of HS on Fe oxides affects its use as Fe source by two plant species with different Fe acquisition strategies, white lupin (Strategy I) and wheat (Strategy II). To this end, two completely randomized experiments, one with each plant, were carried out using a calcareous growing media and involving increasing amounts of HS adsorbed on ferrihydrite (0, 16, 60, and 97 mg C g–1) which was used as Fe source. The highest HS rate was the only treatment that significantly increased Fe uptake in wheat relative to control without HS. This was related to a decreased concentration of Fe in poorly crystalline oxides in the growing media. On the contrary, HS did not affect significantly Fe uptake by lupin. However, in this crop, the highest HS rate decreased the concentration of Fe in oxides relative to the lowest HS rate, without significant differences with other treatments. Thus, the effect of adsorbed HS on Fe uptake differed in two plants with different Fe acquisition strategies. The increased Fe uptake in wheat at the highest HS rate can be explained at least in part by an increased Fe mobilization from oxides by plant roots. These findings provide new insights on the role of soil organic matter on plant Fe nutrition

Estructura molecular de compuestos fenólicos y sus agregados moleculares presentes en la cutícula vegetal

La superficie de hojas, tallos y frutos de las plantas superiores está cubierta por una membrana de naturaleza principalmente lipídica denominada cutícula. Esta membrana extracelular actúa como auténtica interfase entre la planta y el medio ambiente. La cutícula está constituida esencialmente por una matriz polimérica de ésteres de polihidroxiácidos grasos de cadena larga, conocida con el nombre de cutina. Asociadas a este biopolímero amorfo se encuentran las ceras cuticulares junto con importantes cantidades de polisacáridos y compuestos fenólicos. Dentro de los compuestos fenólicos en el reino vegetal destaca la familia de los flavonoides. Presentan un amplio espectro de funciones biológicas y juegan un papel fundamental en la interacción entre planta y el medio ambiente. En el caso particular del fruto de tomate sólo un pequeño número de ellos se cuantifican en cantidades significativas, estos son, naringenina, chalconaringenina, kaempferol y quercetina. Con el fin de estudiar la disposición in vivo de estos compuestos fenólicos en cutículas de fruto de tomate se han optimizado mediante cálculos DFT (Density Functional Theory) la estructura molecular de monómeros aislados de las moléculas ácido p-cumárico y naringenina en un entorno que mimetice el escenario macromolecular de la cutícula vegetal; estos resultados han sido contrastados con medidas experimentales de difracción de Rayos-X. Asimismo, se ha realizado una interpretación de sus espectros electrónicos y vibracionales Raman tanto desde un punto de vista teórico como experimental, que junto con un estudio de sus orbitales moleculares nos han permitido establecer una primera aproximación sobre la disposición de estas moléculas en el interior del biopolímero amorfo de cutina. Por otra parte se estudió la posibilidad de formación de clusters, agregados moleculares (homodímeros y heterodímeros) diseñados a partir de las geometrías optimizadas de los monómeros de las moléculas implicadas.Universidad de Málaga.

Una brecha en el poder de las organizaciones educativas: las directoras de los centros escolares andaluces

La dirección escolar se presenta en la literatura científica como un factor clave en los resultados escolares del alumnado y la buena marcha de los centros educativos. Sin embargo, aunque el número de profesoras es mayor que el de profesores en las escuelas e institutos, a nivel internacional, los puestos de dirección han sido y son ocupados mayoritariamente por los hombres. Esta situación está cambiando en Andalucía, como lo demuestra la investigación realizada; el porcentaje de nuevas directoras va acercándose progresivamente al de sus colegas varones, sobre todo en mujeres que superan los 40 años, aunque todavía siguen dirigiendo mayoritariamente centros de Educación Infantil y Primaria y se concentran prioritariamente en centros de tamaño pequeño o mediano.School management is presented in the scientific works as a key factor in the students’ performance and in the smooth running of schools. However, although the number of female teachers is greater than that of male teachers in schools and high schools, all over the world management positions have been and are predominantly occupied by men. This situation is changing in Andalusia, as this research tries to show; the percentage of new female directors is gradually approaching that of their male counterparts, especially in women over 40 years, although still leading centers of primary and kindergarden educational levels and focused on centers of small to medium size

The fate of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole in amended soils remains unclear, moreover in basic soils. This work aimed to assess the adsorption, leaching, and biodegradation of sulfamethoxazole in unamended and biochar from holm oak pruning (BC)- and green compost from urban pruning (CG)-amended basic soil. Adsorption properties of the organic amendments and soil were determined by adsorption isotherms of sulfamethoxazole. The leachability of this antibiotic from unamended (Soil) and BC- (Soil + BC) and GC- (Soil + GC) amended soil was determined by leaching columns using water as solvent up to 250 mL. Finally, Soil, Soil + BC, and Soil + GC were spiked with sulfamethoxazole and incubated for 42 days. The degradation rate and microbial activity were periodically monitored. Adsorption isotherms showed poor adsorption of sulfamethoxazole in unamended basic soil. BC and CG showed good adsorption capacity. Soil + BC and Soil + GC increased the sulfamethoxazole adsorption capacity of the soil. The low sulfamethoxazole adsorption of Soil produced quick and intense sulfamethoxazole leaching. Soil + BC reduced the sulfamethoxazole leaching, unlike to Soil + GC which enhanced it concerning Soil. The pH of adsorption isotherms and leachates indicate that the anion of sulfamethoxazole was the major specie in unamended and amended soil. CG enhanced the microbial activity of the soil and promoted the degradability of sulfamethoxazole. In contrast, the high adsorption and low biostimulation effect of BC in soil reduced the degradation of sulfamethoxazole. The half-life of sulfamethoxazole was 2.6, 6.9, and 11.9 days for Soil + GC, Soil, and Soil + BC, respectively. This work shows the benefits and risks of two organic amendments, BC and GC, for the environmental fate of sulfamethoxazole. The different nature of the organic carbon of the amendments was responsible for the different effects on the soilPDC 2021-120744-I0

Concentrations, sources and geochemistry of airborne particulate matter at a major European airport

9 pages, 9 figures, 2 tables.-- PMID: 20383366 [PubMed]Monitoring of aerosol particle concentrations (PM10, PM2.5, PM1) and chemical analysis (PM10) was undertaken at a major European airport (El Prat, Barcelona) for a whole month during autumn 2007. Concentrations of airborne PM at the airport were close to those at road traffic hotspots in the nearby Barcelona city, with means measuring 48 g PM10/m3, 21 g PM2.5/m3 and 17 g PM1/m3. Meteorological controls on PM at El Prat are identified as cleansing daytime sea breezes with abundant coarse salt particles, alternating with nocturnal land-sourced winds which channel air polluted by industry and traffic (PM1/PM10 ratios > 0.5) SE down the Llobregat Valley. Chemical analyses of the PM10 samples show that crustal PM is dominant (38% of PM10), followed by total carbon (OC + EC, 25%), secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA, 20%), and sea salt (6%). Local construction work for a new airport terminal was an important contributor to PM10 crustal levels. Source apportionment modelling PCA-MLRA identifies five factors: industrial/traffic, crustal, sea salt, SIA, and K+ likely derived from agricultural biomass burning. Whereas most of the atmospheric contamination concerning ambient air PM10 levels at El Prat is not attributable directly to aircraft movement, levels of carbon are unusually high (especially organic carbon), as are metals possibly sourced from tyre detritus/smoke in runway dust (Ba, Zn, Mo) and from brake dust in ambient PM10 (Cu, Sb), especially when the airport is at its most busy. We identify microflakes of aluminous alloys in ambient PM10 filters derived from corroded fuselage and wings as an unequivocal and highly distinctive tracer for aircraft movement.This work was supported by research projects from the Spanish Ministry of Environment (MMA 2006_EG0X2006-M-PARTICULADO- M1) (CALIOPE, 441/2006/3-12.1), the Spanish Ministry of Sciences and Innovation (GRACCIE-CSD2007- 00067, DOASUR CGL2007-62505/CLI) and a fellowship from the Spanish Council of Research (CSIC).Peer reviewe

Vegetation changes and hydrological fluctuations in the Central Ebro Basin (NE Spain) since the Late Glacial period: Saline lake records

The final version is available at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00310182Although the Central Ebro Basin (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula) is both the northernmost semi-arid area in Europe and one of the regions with the largest biodiversity, it has been insufficiently studied in terms of past climate variability due to the scarcity of suitable sites for palaeoenvironmental analyses. Previous studies from ephemeral saline lakes in the area, mainly based on palynological data, show abrupt and rapid arid/humid transitions throughout the last glacial cycle highlighting a complex palaeohydrological evolution. New cores from two saline lakes (La Playa and La Salineta) in the Los Monegros area provide multi-proxy records including sedimentology, geochemistry, and pollen indicators. This study, together with a detailed and comprehensive review of the main saline records from the Central Ebro Basin, enables us tos reconstruct a comprehensive picture of the palaeoclimate evolution during the last glacial cycle. One of the main results of this study is the alternation of humid and dry phases as a characteristic of the climate evolution during the Lateglacial. Additionally, the study suggests an important role of the increased flow from the Pyrenean rivers during deglaciation in the hydrological balance of the Central Ebro Basin. It is found that the Early Holocene is the wettest period over the sequence studied contrasting with the arid Middle Holocene interval, which is frequently absent as a result of intense aeolian erosive processes. Although anthropogenic activity partially masks the climate signal from the palynological data in the uppermost part of the sequences studied, there are some sedimentological evidences for a climate change during the last 2000 years resulting in a recovery of average saline lake levels in the Central Ebro Basin.This work was part of the project “Arid periods in the Mediterranean area since the Last Glacial Maximum” (REN 2000-1136/CLI), and LIMNOCLIBER (REN 2003-09130-C02-02), funded by the CICYT, and the project “Environmental evolution and effects of the anthropogenic impact in the lacustrine complex of Bujaraloz–Sástago” (PO23/2001), funded by the Aragon regional government (DGA).
