The precariousness of contemporary Japanese commercial animation: the case of Toei Animation

Treball Final de Grau en Comunicació Audiovisual. Codi: CA0932. Curs acadèmic: 2017-2018Con el análisis de la situación actual de las empresas niponas de animación pretendemos hacer una comparación y evolución histórica de su producción. Una aproximación a la crisis que asola el panorama del sector y cuáles son los posibles desenlaces futuros tras su análisis. En primer lugar, realizaremos una breve aproximación histórica de la evolución del sector a lo largo de los años, exploraremos el funcionamiento de una de las productoras más importantes de Japón, Toei Animation y sus recientes realizaciones audiovisuales. Veremos como las producciones han cambiado a lo largo de los años y como se han adaptado a las necesidades del público del momento. Por tanto, resulta interesante ver el cómo y porqué se ha llegado a esa situación en este sector y cómo afecta a su desarrollo. Ya que, las pequeñas compañías tienen que producir muchas obras para cuadrar los presupuestos, provocando que muchos de estos trabajadores se encuentren inmersos en varios proyectos con distintas fechas límite. Se trabaja a contrarreloj y con los presupuestos ajustados. Además, al contar con muchos proyectos, estos apuran su trabajo hasta el último día de su fecha límite, provocando así que la calidad de las obras baje considerablemente. Vemos un claro ejemplo de ello con la última producción de Toei Animation, Dragon Ball Super, la cual recibió muchas quejas del público hacia su pobre animación y caracterización de los personajes en algunas escenas, su poca precisión y detalle en los trazos. Finalizaremos con unas conclusiones del análisis de la situación que azota a las productoras y cuáles pueden ser los posibles desenlaces. Estas consisten en como la situación por la que pasa el sector pone de manifiesto la necesidad de profundos cambios que tienen que acontecer para su desarrollo a corto y largo plazo, y en principal hincapié en el sentido laboral, mejorando sus condiciones.With the analysis of the current situation of Japanese animation companies we intend to make a comparison and historical evolution of its production. An approach to the crisis that plagues the landscape of the sector and what are the possible future outcomes after its analysis. In the first place, we will make a brief historical approximation of the evolution of the sector over the years, we will explore the operation of one of the most important producers of Japan, Toei Animation and its recent audiovisual productions. We will see how the productions have changed over the years and how they have adapted to the needs of the public at the time. Therefore, it results interesting to see how and why this situation has been reached in this sector and how it affects their development. Since, small companies have to produce many works to balance budgets, causing many of these workers are immersed in various projects with different deadlines. It works against the clock and with tight budgets. In addition, by having many projects, they hurry up their work until the last day of its deadline, causing the quality of the works to go down considerably We see a clear example of this with the latest production of Toei Animation, Dragon Ball Super, which received many complaints from the public towards its poor animation and characterization of the characters in some scenes, its poor precision and detail in the strokes. We will finish with some conclusions of the analysis of the situation that plagues the producers and what the possible outcomes may be. These consist of how the situation that the sector goes through reveals the need for profound changes that have to happen for its short and long term development, and in the main emphasis on the labor sense, improving its conditions

Incidence and survival of lymphoid neoplasms in Spain, 2002-2013: A population-based study from the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN)

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe incidence, incidence trends and survival patterns of lymphoid neoplasms (LNs) and its subtypes in Spain in the period 2002-2013 using data from the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN). Materials and Methods: Data were extracted from 13 Spanish populationbased cancer registries. LNs incident cases were codified using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, third edition (ICD-O-3) and grouped according to the WHO 2008 classification. Age-standardized incidence rates to the 2013 European standard population (ASIRe) were obtained. Poisson regression models were used to analyze trends in incidence rates and estimate the annual percentage change (APC) for each subtype. The number of cases in Spain for 2023 was estimated by applying the estimated age-specific rates for the year 2023 to the 2023 Spanish population. Observed survival (OS) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and net survival (NS) by the Pohar-Perme method. Sex- and age-specific estimates of 5-year NS were calculated, as well as its changes according to two periods of diagnosis (2002-2007 and 2008-2013). Results: LNs accounted for 69% (n=39,156) of all hematological malignancies (n=56,751) diagnosed during the period of study. Median age at diagnosis was 67 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 52-77). The overall ASIRe was 34.23 (95% confidence interval (CI): 33.89, 34.57) and showed a marked male predominance in almost all subtypes (global sex ratio = 1.45). During the study period, incidence trends of LNs remained stable (APC: 0.3; 95% CI: -0.1, 0.6), nevertheless some subtypes showed statistically significant variations, such as LNs NOS category (APC: -5.6; 95% CI: -6.8, -4.3). Around 17,926 new cases of LNs will be diagnosed in 2023 in Spain. Survival rates differed considerably across age-groups, while they were similar between men and women. Five- year NS was 62.81% (95% CI: 62.1, 63.52) for all LNs, and varied widely across LNs subtypes, ranging from 39.21% to 90.25%. NS for all LNs improved from the first period of diagnosis to the second one, being 61.57% (95% CI: 60.56, 62.61) in 2002-2007 and 64.17% (95% CI: 63.29, 65.07) in 2008-2013. Conclusions: This study presents the first complete and extensive populationbased analysis of LNs incidence and survival in Spain. These population-based data provide relevant information to better understand the epidemiology of LNs in Southern Europe and it features some useful points for public health authorities and clinicians. However, additional improvements regarding the registration of these hematological neoplasms can be implemented.Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute FIJC110

Necesidades percibidas por las familias acogedoras extensas

Los lazos afectivos en la familia extensa contribuyen a afirmar, en los niños y niñas, soportes cualitativos irremplazables por otro tipo de organización social, cuya eficacia se traduce en el compromiso, la inmediatez y la permanencia en el apoyo emocional que necesitan las familias nucleares y, en principio, sería la primera y mejor opción de acogimiento familiar para el menor que necesite de este recurso. En la familia extensa, generalmente ya existen unas relaciones, unos vínculos, que en la familia acogedora ajena (familia educadora) deben construirse desde el principio. El niño en familia extensa, en muchas ocasiones, ya conoce, ya confía en sus miembros, ello le permite al menor sentirse incluido en su entramado familiar y mantener el sentimiento de la preservación familiar y por tanto de la pertenencia. Para optimizar este recurso, entre otras cuestiones, el conocimiento de las necesidades percibidas, se considera uno de los pilares a considerar en la implementación de los programas de intervención social. Para ello, tanto las familias que acogen como los técnicos, por separado, han expresado su percepción acerca de la adecuación de los recursos a las necesidades de las familias acogedoras.Emotional relationships within extended families contribute to provide children with qualitative and irreplaceable support that no other social organization can give.The immediate consequences are commitment and permanence of the emotional support that nuclear families need and, in principle, this would be the first and best option for fostering children in need of this. In extended families there are usually already built-up relationships, connections that in the case of foster families (educating families) need to be built from scratch. In most of the cases, the kid fostered by an extended family already knows and trust his/her relatives and this allows the minor to feel less excluded from the family and preserve the feeling of belonging. To improve such resources it is important to acknowledge perceived needs which would be one of the main columns to implement and sustain social intervention programs. Not only those needs referred by the technicians in charge of the evolution and support of such processes, but also the needs of those families who take care of the minors everyday. For that, both technicians and families have expressed their feelings on the adaptation of the resources to the needs of the fostering families

Testing a new multigroup inference approach to reconstructing past environmental conditions

8 páginas, 4 tablas.A new, quantitative, inference model for environmental reconstruction (transfer function), based for the first time on the simultaneous analysis of multigroup species, has been developed. Quantitative reconstructions based on palaeoecological transfer functions provide a powerful tool for addressing questions of environmental change in a wide range of environments, from oceans to mountain lakes, and over a range of timescales, from decades to millions of years. Much progress has been made in the development of inferences based on multiple proxies but usually these have been considered separately, and the different numeric reconstructions compared and reconciled post-hoc. This paper presents a new method to combine information from multiple biological groups at the reconstruction stage. The aim of the multigroup work was to test the potential of the new approach to making improved inferences of past environmental change by improving upon current reconstruction methodologies. The taxonomic groups analysed include diatoms, chironomids and chrysophyte cysts. We test the new methodology using two cold-environment training-sets, namely mountain lakes from the Pyrenees and the Alps. The use of multiple groups, as opposed to single groupings, was only found to increase the reconstruction skill slightly, as measured by the root mean square error of prediction (leave-one-out cross-validation), in the case of alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon and altitude (a surrogate for air-temperature), but not for pH or dissolved CO2. Reasons why the improvement was less than might have been anticipated are discussed. These can include the different life-forms, environmental responses and reaction times of the groups under study.The programming work was carried out when RT was on sabbatical leave in Blanes and Mondsee.

Potencialidad de un residuo de frita procedente del sector cerámico como materia prima para la producción de material vitrocerámico

This work consists of studying the devitrification capacity of a residue from sodium-calcium frit, using the vitreous powder sintering method, which follows the traditional ceramic processing route, including a specific heat treatment to generate the appearance of crystals from the original glass phase. Initially the frit residue has been characterized by instrumental techniques such as XRF, XRD and DTA/TG. Furthermore, the chemical analysis (XRF) has allowed the prediction of devitrification potentiality of this residue by theoretical approaches represented by Gingsberg, Raschin-Tschetverikov and Lebedeva ternary diagrams. Then, this residue was subjected to traditional ceramic method, by changing the grinding time, the pressing pressure and prepared samples were obtained at different temperatures. In this part, the techniques for measuring particle size by laser diffraction and XRD and SEM to evaluate the generated crystalline phases, were applied. Finally, it has been found that this frit residue works as glass-ceramic precursor, devitrifying in wollastonite crystals as majority phase and without being subjected to the melting step of the glass-ceramic typical method.Este trabajo ha sido financiado por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad Español a través del Proyecto titulado «Desarrollo de nuevos revestimientos fotovoltaicos ecológicos utilizando materiales reciclados para integración arquitectónica, basados en tecnologías de calcogenuros» (ECOART), cuyo número de expediente es RTC-2014-2294-3

The mRNA degradation factor Xrn1 regulates transcription elongation in parallel to Ccr4

Co-transcriptional imprinting of mRNA by Rpb4 and Rpb7 subunits of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and by the Ccr4–Not complex conditions its posttranscriptional fate. In turn, mRNA degradation factors like Xrn1 are able to influence RNAPII-dependent transcription, making a feedback loop that contributes to mRNA homeostasis. In this work, we have used repressible yeast GAL genes to perform accurate measurements of transcription and mRNA degradation in a set of mutants. This genetic analysis uncovered a link from mRNA decay to transcription elongation. We combined this experimental approach with computational multi-agent modelling and tested different possibilities of Xrn1 and Ccr4 action in gene transcription. This double strategy brought us to conclude that both Xrn1-decaysome and Ccr4–Not regulate RNAPII elongation, and that they do it in parallel. We validated this conclusion measuring TFIIS genome-wide recruitment to elongating RNAPII. We found that xrn1Δ and ccr4Δ exhibited very different patterns of TFIIS versus RNAPII occupancy, which confirmed their distinct role in controlling transcription elongation. We also found that the relative influence of Xrn1 and Ccr4 is different in the genes encoding ribosomal proteins as compared to the rest of the genome
