Joaquín Carlos López Lozano: periodística, político y ateneísta

En este artículo se describe el perfil biográfico de Joaquín Carlos López Lozano, presidente de la Diputación de Sevilla entre 1959 y 1961. Particularmente, analizamos las tres principales facetas de su actividad pública: periodista, político y miembro destacado del Ateneo. En todas ellas se reveló como un reformista sintonizado con la idea de una evolución del régimen que desembocara en la restauración de la monarquía en la figura de don Juan. Aunque se sintió periodista durante toda su vida, se lanzó a la arena política de la mano del gobernador civil Hermenegildo Altozano Moraleda, un hombre de ideas monárquicas que desarrolló un mandato en Sevilla sensiblemente distinto al que era habitual entre los gobernadores nombrados desde Madrid. Después de su paso por la Diputación, presidió la Junta de Obras del Puerto y el Ateneo.The aim of this article is to describe the biographical profile of Joaquín Carlos López Lozano, president of the Diputación of Seville from 1959 to 1961. In particular, attention is paid to his three public roles: journalist, politician and prominent figure of the cultural entity known as Ateneo de Sevilla. In all three, he proved himself a sincere reformer and a convinced monarchist. His political ideal was the restoration of the monarchy in the person of don Juan, a goal that required a previous evolution of Franco’s regime through the implementation of reforms. Although he considered himself a journalist above all, he took on the presidency of the Diputación with the support of a peculiar governor posted to Seville in 1959: Hermenegildo Altozano Moraleda, a monarchist figure close to don Juan. In 1961, after having been president for almost two years, López Lozano prolonged his public activity as president of the Junta de Obras del Puerto (the board responsible for the Port of Seville) and, later on, of the Ateneo

Not only repression: francoist dictatorship, historical concepts, and moral categories

Recientemente, algunas publicaciones sobre la represión franquista han incorporado nuevas categorías a la caracterización de la violencia del régimen contra el adversario. En el presente artículo, analizamos la utilización de términos como genocidio, exterminio u holocausto y sugerimos la conveniencia de utilizar definiciones restrictivas y precisas para facilitar un deslinde claro entre conceptos históricos y categorías morales. Igualmente, cuestionamos la eficacia explicativa de la represión y la violencia entendidas como mecanismos exclusivos de sostenimiento de la dictadura franquista.Recent studies on Francoist repression have incorporated new categories into the characterisation of the regime's violence against dissidents. In this paper, we analyse the use of terms such as genocide, extermination or holocaust and argue for accurate and restrictive definitions in order to facilitate a clear distinction between historical concepts and moral categories. Further, we challenge the explanatory value of repression and violence as sole mechanisms underpinning the survival of the dictatorship

AGN in the CALIFA survey: X-ray detection of nuclear sources

A complete demographic of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is essential to understand the evolution of the Universe. Optical surveys estimate the population of AGN in the local Universe to be of $\sim$ 4%. However, these results could be biased towards bright sources, not affected by the host galaxy attenuation. An alternative method for detecting these objects is through the X-ray emission. In this work, we aim to complement the AGN population of the optical CALIFA survey (941 sources), by using X-ray data from Chandra, which provides the best spatial resolution to date, essential to isolate the nuclear emission from the host galaxy. We study a total of 138 sources with available data. We find 34 new bonafide AGN and 23 AGN candidates, which could increase the AGN population to 7-10\% among the CALIFA survey. X-rays are particularly useful for low-luminosity AGN since they are excluded by the criterion of large equivalent width of the $H\alpha$ emission line when applied to optical selections. Indeed, placing such a restrictive criteria might cause a loss of up to 70% of AGN sources. X-ray detected sources are preferentially located in the right side of the [$OIII$]/$H\beta$ versus [$NII$]/$H\alpha$ diagram, suggesting that this diagram might be the most reliable at classifying AGN sources. Our results support the idea that multi-wavelength studies are the best way to obtain a complete AGN population.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures, 7 tables, 5 pages of supplementary online material available.

Desarrollo sostenible en el comercio según la perspectiva del consumidor: análisis de sus efectos en hipermercados

La sostenibilidad es un tema de interés para la academia y para el sector empresarial por todas las preocupaciones que implica a nivel mundial. Debido al entorno en donde se desenvuelven las empresas del sector minorista, tienen mayores oportunidades de evidenciar las gestiones sostenibles, por ello en la literatura del marketing se ha estudiado ampliamente las acciones de sostenibilidad que realizan las empresas. Sin embargo, el análisis del compromiso del minorista con el desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor, es un constructo que recientemente se está estudiando y su área de aplicación principalmente ha sido en el continente europeo, por lo que esta Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo principal: examinar el impacto del desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor y el comportamiento del consumidor ético frente a los hipermercados; y, determinar cómo contribuyen, junto con otras variables clásicas del marketing, tales como el valor percibido, la calidad percibida y la imagen de la tienda, a generar capital de marca, lealtad y comunicación boca-oído en los clientes. Para alcanzar el objetivo se han llevado a cabo dos estudios en el contexto de una economía emergente como es Ecuador, en los años 2017 y 2019. Sus resultados se han publicado en tres artículos científicos que dan contenido a esta Tesis Doctoral por compendio, convirtiéndose en una oportunidad para reforzar el valor de las contribuciones de este estudio, dado que hasta el momento la mayoría de las investigaciones de referencia se habían basado en economías occidentales desarrolladas. Los resultados permiten concluir que el compromiso del minorista con el desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor en Ecuador es un tema emergente, en donde los consumidores reconocen las acciones sostenibles de los minoristas y saben que tienen el poder de premiar a los minoristas al momento de decidir su compra. Además, el compromiso del minorista con el desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor afecta de manera positiva al valor percibido, capital de marca, a la comunicación boca-oído y la lealtad. Esta investigación aporta con información relevante para reducir la brecha existente en la literatura asociada con el compromiso del minorista con el desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor, así como el consumidor de mentalidad ética y la cadena de relaciones con las variables de marketing, basado en el cliente de hipermercados. Así, en la Tesis Doctoral se presenta una serie de conclusiones sustanciales, que aportan a la academia, se proponen sugerencias prácticas para orientar a los profesionales de la gran distribución minorista en el desarrollo de estrategias de marketing relacionadas con la sostenibilidad y el consumo ético, para incrementar las ventajas de diferenciación con la competencia. Finalmente, se declaran algunas limitaciones y se proponen nuevas oportunidades de investigación que podrían ser consideradas en contribuciones futuras.Sustainability is a topic of interest for academia and for the business sector due to all the concerns it implies worldwide. Due to the environment in which companies in the retail sector operate, they have greater opportunities to demonstrate sustainable management, which is why the marketing literature has widely studied the sustainability actions carried out by companies. However, the analysis of the retailer's commitment to sustainable development as perceived by the consumer is a construct that has recently been studied and its area of application has mainly been on the European continent, so this Doctoral Thesis has as its main objective: examine the impact of sustainable development perceived by the consumer and ethical consumer behavior towards hypermarkets; and determine how they contribute, together with other classic marketing variables, such as perceived value, perceived quality and store image, to generate brand equity, loyalty and word-of-mouth communication among customers. To achieve the objective, two studies have been carried out in the context of an emerging economy such as Ecuador, in the years 2017 and 2019. Their results have been published in three scientific articles that give content to this Doctoral Thesis by compendium, becoming an opportunity to reinforce the value of the contributions of this study, given that until now most of the reference research had been based on developed Western economies. The results allow us to conclude that the retailer's commitment to sustainable development perceived by the consumer in Ecuador is an emerging issue, where consumers recognize the sustainable actions of retailers and know that they have the power to reward retailers when making decisions. your purchase. In addition, the retailer's commitment to sustainable development as perceived by the consumer positively affects perceived value, brand equity, word-of-mouth, and loyalty. This research provides relevant information to reduce the existing gap in the literature associated with the retailer's commitment to sustainable development perceived by the consumer, as well as the ethically minded consumer and the chain of relationships with marketing variables, based on the hypermarket customer. Thus, in the Doctoral Thesis a series of substantial conclusions are presented, which contribute to the academy, practical suggestions are proposed to guide professionals in large retail distribution in the development of marketing strategies related to sustainability and ethical consumption, to increase the advantages of differentiation with the competition. Finally, some limitations are stated and new research opportunities that could be considered in future contributions are proposed

Strategies for Solving Addition Problems Using Modified Schema-Based Instruction in Students with Intellectual Disabilities

A study is presented on the strategies employed to solve additive change problems by three students with intellectual disabilities (two of them with autism spectrum disorder). The students followed a program involving modified schema-based instruction. The results show an improvement in the problem-solving skills of the three students, who achieved successful formal strategies associated with identifying the operation. We analyze the importance of adapting and/or emphasizing certain steps in the instruction process in order to tailor them to the difficulties of each student

Galois Theory, discriminants and torsion subgroups of elliptic curves

We find a tight relationship between the torsion subgroup and the image of the mod 2 Galois representation associated to an elliptic curve defined over the rationals. This is shown using some characterizations for the squareness of the discriminant of the elliptic curve

La Civilidad en las Castas Veladas del México Actual

This paper deals with the problem of the present patterns of living together of Mexicans, starting from the concept of Caste, managed during the Colonial times. In the New Spain, that concept meant ‘racial mixture’ and, with that meaning, the concept integrated two different semantic horizons: that of the mixture of races and that of the social stratum. During the Colonial times, the caste placed people in two different horizons, one based on somatic characteristics, and another, based on social hierarchy. Today, the Novohispanic meanings of the words ‘caste’ y ‘race’ are absent. The issue of the somatic differences has disappeared from the analysis of the identity of the Mexican, but those differences are still underlined as a sign of differences of economic, educative and cultural wealth, and, overall, as a sign of interpersonal manners, that is, as signs of differences of civility.El escrito aborda el problema de los actuales patrones de convivencia de los mexicanos, a partir del concepto de Casta, manejado durante la Colonia. En la Nueva España ese concepto significó ‘mezcla racial’ y, con ese significado, el concepto integró dos distintos horizontes semánticos: el de mezcla de razas y el de estrato social. Durante la Colonia, la casta ubicaba a las personas dentro de dos distintos horizontes, uno basado en características somáticas, y otro, basado en la jerarquización social. Hoy, los significados novohispanos de las palabras ‘casta’ y ‘raza’ están ausentes. El tema de las diferencias somáticas ha desaparecido del campo del análisis de la identidad del mexicano, pero esas diferencias todavía son señaladas como signo de diferencias de riqueza económica, educativa y cultural, y sobre todo, como signo de maneras de trato interpersonal, es decir, como signos de diferencias de civilidad

Presentación del Observatorio de las Empresas de Servicios Energéticos (ESEs) en España = Presentation of Energy and Services Companies (Escos) Observatory in Spain

The Observatory on the Market of Energy Services Companies (ESEs) 2016 in Spain has been jointly conducted by ANESE and the Higher Technical School of Engineering and Industrial Design of Technical University of Madrid. The core of the study was based on the analysis of the data obtained from a specifically designed questionnaire, which has been completed by numerous representatives of ESEs in Spain. The questionnaire has allowed to study the ESE market, showing a detailed vision of its true protagonists, the ESEs. In this way, it is possible to know the main opportunities and barriers for the development of the business
