La Música programàtica, una nova música per a la societat del s. XIX

Los cambios que se producen en el ámbito de la recepción musical de la sociedad del siglo XIX propician la construcción de un nuevo escenario teórico que permite considerar la música, tanto desde el punto de vista estético como sociológico, de manera diferente a como se había hecho antes del romanticismo. En este sentido, el debate entre la música pura —una música de cuño netamente burgués—, y la música programática —una música que tiene como propósito de acercar la música a la sociedad—, potencia de manera contundente la proclamación —dentro de un contexto más materialista que idealista— de nuevos parámetros que marcan la recepción-comprensión de la música del romanticismo.The changes that took place in the field of musical reception in the society of the 19th century favoured the setting-up of a new theoretical scenery which allowed to think up the music, either from an aesthetical point of view or taking a sociological approach, in a different way from the manner undertaken before the romanticism. And thus, the debate between pure music —a kind of music with a genuinely bourgeois stamp— and program music —a kind of music aimed to approach music to society—, fosters in a forceful way the proclamation —within a more materialistic than idealistic context— of new parameters marking the receptioncomprehension of Romantic music

Erosion caused by propeller jets in a low energy harbour basin

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Hydraulic Research on January, 2017, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/00221686.2016.1252801Field data of a harbour basin are compared with analytical formulations for predicting maximum scouring depth due to propeller jets. Spatial data analysis of seven-year biannual bathymetries quantifies the evolution of the scouring hole along with the sedimentation process within a harbour basin. The maximum scouring depth is found to be of the order of the propeller diameter with a maximum scouring rate within the first six months of docking manoeuvring. Three of the analysed expressions yielded realistic results while observed discrepancies between the theoretical predictions and field data are related to scaling factors. The outcomes of this analysis can be extrapolated to other harbours to improve their management. The obtained results highlight the importance of field data in developing combined physical and numerical models.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Understanding online business simulation games: the role of flow experience, perceived enjoyment and personal innovativeness

This study aimed to empirically predict the degree of acceptance of an online business simulation game in an educational context. To do so, this study proposed an extended technology acceptance model that includes variables such as perceived enjoyment and flow. In addition, the moderating role of students'' personal imiovativeness in the technology field was analysed. The framework was empirically tested applying partial least squares to a sample of 266 students. Results reveal that perceived enjoyment is a key variable in explaining students'' perceived ease of use, usefulness and attitudes towards the simulation. Perceived ease of use is not significantly related to flow experience. However, this relationship is moderated by personal innovativeness. Indeed, results indicate that the higher the students'' personal innovativeness, the more attenuated the effect of perceived ease of use on the attitude towards the game and on flow experience. The study offers relevant insights for the pedagogical use of competitive digital technologies in university contexts
