Incidencia del factor sexo en el léxico disponible de una comunidad bilingüe
Una de las variables sociolingüísticas tenida en cuenta, tradicionalmente, en los
estudios sobre variación léxica es el
sexo
(o
género
). En el presente trabajo pretendemos conocer
la incidencia de esta variable sobre el léxico disponible en castellano y en
catalán en la provincia
de Lleida. Concretamente, analizamos mediante procedimientos estadísticos la influencia que
ejerce este factor en la producción del léxico en las dos lenguas en una muestra de 240
informantes bilingües de entre 17 y 18 años con est
udios secundarios. Comprobamos 1) que las
mujeres obtienen mejores índices de producción; 2) que existe una relación entre qué sexo evoca
más palabras en cada centro de interés y la atribución social a la esfera femenina o masculina de
la realidad que engl
oba dicho centro; 3) que las mujeres se están sustrayendo a la prohibición de
utilizar palabras malsonantes y 4) que, en cambio, mantienen rasgos propios de la afectividad
lingüística. Sucede en ambas lenguas en contacto, aunque con ciertas diferencias res
eñablesSex (or gender) is one of the sociolinguistic variables considered, traditionally, in studies
dealing with lexical variation. In the present work we intend to know the incidence of this variable
on the lexicon available in Spanish and in Catalan in the pro
vince of Lleida. Specifically, we analyze
through statistical procedures the influence that this factor exerts on the production of the lexicon
in the two languages in a sample of 240 bilingual informants aged between 17 and 18 years old
with secondary edu
cation.
We verify that: 1) women obtain better production ra
tes; 2) lexicon
available in each center of interest depends on whether reality to which it refers is socially assigned to male or female sphere; 3) women are avoiding the prohibition of using bad
words; 4)
on the other hand, they use linguistic affectivity’s features. It happens in both languages in
contact, although with certain notable difference
Strategic Analysis in the Realm of Enterprise Modeling – On the Example of Blockchain-Based Initiatives for the Electricity Sector
This paper continues our previous work on modeling support for strategic analysis, by (1) extending a proposed modeling language for strategic analysis (called SAML), among others, with features proposed by business scholars to increase the expressiveness of the analysis, and (2) relating the extended SAML to a language for IT infrastructure analysis (called ITML). Thus, we explicitly contextualize strategic analyses by accounting for the role and impact of IT infrastructure. A scenario in the electricity industry is used to illustrate the analysis proposed
Large Scale Flows from Orion-South
Multiple optical outflows are known to exist in the vicinity of the active
star formation region called Orion-South (Orion-S). We have mapped the velocity
of low ionization features in the brightest part of the Orion Nebula, including
Orion-S, and imaged the entire nebula with the Hubble Space Telescope. These
new data, combined with recent high resolution radio maps of outflows from the
Orion-S region, allow us to trace the origin of the optical outflows. It is
confirmed that HH 625 arises from the blueshifted lobe of the CO outflow from
136-359 in Orion-S while it is likely that HH 507 arises from the blueshifted
lobe of the SiO outflow from the nearby source 135-356. It is likely that
redshifted lobes are deflected within the photon dominated region behind the
optical nebula. This leads to a possible identification of a new large shock to
the southwest from Orion-S as being driven by the redshifted CO outflow arising
from 137-408. The distant object HH 400 is seen to have two even further
components and these all are probably linked to either HH 203, HH 204, or HH
528. Distant shocks on the west side of the nebula may be related to HH 269.
The sources of multiple bright blueshifted Herbig-Haro objects (HH 202, HH 203,
HH 204, HH 269, HH 528) remain unidentified, in spite of earlier claimed
identifications. Some of this lack of identification may arise from the fact
that deflection in radial velocity can also produce a change in direction in
the plane of the sky. The best way to resolve this open question is through
improved tangential velocities of low ionization features arising where the
outflows first break out into the ionized nebula.Comment: Astronomical Journal, in press. Some figures are shown at reduced

The distance to the Orion Nebula
We have used the Very Long Baseline Array to measure the trigonometric
parallax of several member stars of the Orion Nebula Cluster showing
non-thermal radio emission. We have determined the distance to the cluster to
be 414 +/- 7 pc. Our distance determination allows for an improved calibration
of luminosities and ages of young stars. We have also measured the proper
motions of four cluster stars which, when accurate radial velocities are
measured, will put strong constraints on the origin of the cluster.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Astronomy & Astrophyisc
