Los periódicos gallegos en las redes sociales virtuales: presencia y posicionamiento en el nuevo escenario comunicativo

The Galician newspapers prioritized the use of social networks as a distribution channel while they explore other applications in the new communicative scene. This study describes and classifies the activity and contents of the general newspapers of major diffusion in Galicia, together with the most veteran native digital, on three of the social networks with greater penetration in the Community (Facebook, Twitter and Youtube) according to their presencepromotion, the management of the conversation and the creation of contents of general interest. The results draw a media landscape still dominated by the traditional passive and oneway model in which the potential of social networks are limited to the showcase for promotion and the distribution of content.Los periódicos gallegos priorizan el empleo de las redes sociales como canal de distribución mientras exploran otros aprovechamientos en el nuevo escenario comunicativo.

La vulneración al trabajo decente por parte de las cooperativas de trabajo asociado en Colombia, puesta en evidencia en el marco de la negociación del TLC entre Estados Unidos y Colombia

Desde su creación, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) ha venido adelantando una lucha constante por la dignificación del trabajador y un trato justo para el mismo. En un sistema de oferta y demanda como el nuestro, siempre existirá la posibilidad que las condiciones de trabajo busquen ser vulneradas por parte de los diferentes actores para – con cualquier justificación – tratar de minimizar los costos laborales o evitar el cumplimiento de las normas establecidas en la legislación laboral vigente.68 p.Contenido parcial: Reseña histórica del cooperativismo – Normatividad -- Capítulo laboral en el T.L.C. -- Consecuencias para Colombia de las negociaciones del tratado de libre comercio con los estados unidos en materia laboral -- Estado actual de las cooperativas de trabajo asociado

Analysis of the Influence of Sport Cyclists on Narrow Two-Lane Rural Roads Using Instrumented Bicycles and Microsimulation

[EN] It is frequent to see cyclists on Spanish two-lane rural roads, both riding individually and in groups. However, these roads were designed only for motorized vehicles, most of them having a narrow section with a null or impassable shoulder. Currently, drivers and cyclists have to share roads and interact, affecting both safety and traffic operation. The possibility of overtaking offers an improvement in traffic operation, however on narrow roads it can be difficult, meaning a greater invasion of the opposite lane thus creating more dangerous situations and implying a higher overtaking duration. To analyze the phenomenon, field data from instrumented bicycles and naturalistic videos were collected, then some performance measures to characterize safety and traffic operation were obtained. To increase the number of overtaking manoeuvres and performance measures obtained from observations, microsimulation has been used by adapting a model to include cyclists and their interaction with motorized vehicles. The traffic microsimulator was calibrated and validated with field data. The results show that cycle traffic presence decreases motorized vehicle average travel speed and increases percent followers and delays. Microsimulation can be used to study other traffic scenarios and can help road administrations to safely and efficiently integrate cyclists to vehicular traffic on rural roads.This research was funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities, grant number TRA2016-80897-R and project titled: "Improvement of safety and operation of two-lane rural roads with cyclists (Bike2Lane)"; and by the Direccion General de Trafico of Spain, grant number SPIP2017-02280 and project title: "Road safety countermeasures for two-lane rural roads with groups of cyclists (Safe4Bikes)".Moll Montaner, S.; López-Maldonado, G.; García García, A.

Ten years of research in the highest ranked communication journals. Trends and subjects in JCR and SJR’s highest impact publications

La comunicación, entendida como campo de estudio y como disciplina, aunque es relativamente joven, ha conseguido una importante madurez en la primera década del siglo XXI como muestra la producción científica y la centralidad que ha conseguido en las sociedades actuales. Este artículo es el resultado de la realización de una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura científica en las trece revistas académicas del área de la comunicación que ocupan los dos principales rankings de indexación: Journal Citation Reports (JCR) y Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR). Tras el análisis de 5.291 textos, ha sido posible encontrar algunos de los patrones y tendencias que se siguen en la publicación de investigaciones académicas en el campo de la comunicación. De este modo, este artículo muestra cómo algunas de las publicaciones privilegian algunos temas frente a otros. Al mismo tiempo, se ha identificado un notable crecimiento de la producción académica gracias, en parte, a la facilidad de difusión a través de la incorporación de plataformas de publicación en línea por parte de las revistas científicas. Además, se ha identificado la presencia y evolución de determinadas temáticas a lo largo de los últimos diez años para entender su desarrollo e importancia. Este texto contribuye a la literatura científica centrada en la comprensión de los patrones de publicación y cita entre investigadores mostrando las principales tendencias en la investigación de la comunicación a lo largo de la última década.Communication, understood as a field of study, is an area with a relatively short history, especially if compared with disciplines like Medicine or Physics. This research article is the result of a Systematic Literature Review of the thirteen-top ranked peer-reviewed journals in the area of communication: Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR). After reviewing 5,291 articles, publishing patterns and thematic tendencies were identified. Thus, this article evidences that some journals privilege some topics over others as well as the rise of the academic research in communication due to the ease of publishing, thanks to online publishing platforms adopted by peer-reviewed journals. Likewise, the presence of many topics across the period of analysis was identified in order to set a general idea about their temporal development through the last ten years. This contributes to the literature corpus related to publication and citation patterns among journals and scholars by highlighting the main trends in communication research in the last decade.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) Xunta de Galicia Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (Gobierno de España).S

Voremetur Project: proposal for the digital cataloguing of museum objects on media art

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the creation of a catalogue of museum objects associated with two media art collections. The proposal was formulated under the Voremetur "Vocabularios para una Red de Archivos y Colecciones de Media Art y sus efectos: metaliteracy y turismo de conocimiento" (thesauri for networked media art archives and collections and their effects: metaliteracy and knowledge tourism) (HAR2016-75949-C2-1-R). Collection characteristics and typologies are discussed along with the difficulties encountered and the interoperability of the platform chosen with other Web resources that foster visibility. Design/methodology/approach This paper describes a case study and a review of the protocols and standards used to catalogue media art collections. Digitised descriptions were processed with Omeka software in conjunction with the expanded Dublin Core metadata schema. This paper also reviews the literature on the conceptualisation of these collections and the challenges involved in their conservation and management. Findings The result was the creation of a digital repository for two media art collections: one linked to Espacio P; and the other the outcome of digitising part of the MIDECIANT collection (Archivo Media ART AEMA). Originality/value The methodology innovates the description and analysis of museum objects on media art in Spain. The proposed cataloguing method can be replicated and used to describe similar collections and lays the grounds for creating a Spanish network of media art archives and collectionsThis work was supported by the Ministerio De Economía y Competitividad (Spain) (HAR2016-75949-C2-1-R)

Iniciativas de verificação no cenario da desinformação. Actantes em planos integrados com estratégias multiníveis

The spread of misinformation has become standard practice in today’s communicative scene. Both individual users and organizations disseminate false content for economic or political benefits. The response against these strategies has been to develop initiatives to both verify false information as well as prevent it from being spread. This article presents actions adopted by different actors to stop the spread of fake news. These actors are European institutions, national governments, the media, and major technology companies. Thus, this paper takes a comprehensive look at how misinformation is addressed in the European Union by studying reports and legislative texts and reviewing the growth of fact-checking initiatives.La propagación de desinformación se ha convertido en una práctica muy frecuente en el escenario comunicativo actual. Usuarios individuales y organizaciones hacen uso de la difusión de contenidos falsos para obtener rendimiento económico o político. La reacción frente a este tipo de estrategias no se ha hecho esperar de forma pareciendo iniciativas dirigidas tanto a la verificación de las informaciones falsas como a evitar su publicación. El objetivo del presente artículo es dar cuenta de las acciones adoptadas por los diferentes actores con capacidad para frenar la difusión de fake news: las instituciones europeas y los gobiernos nacionales, el periodismo y las principales empresas tecnológicas. A partir del estudio de diferentes informes y textos legislativos, así como de las herramientas diseñadas por las empresas tecnológicas o la revisión del crecimiento de iniciativas de fact-checking se dibuja una panorámica general de cómo se intenta combatir la desinformación en el marco de la Unión Europea.A disseminação da desinformação se tornou uma prática muito comum no atual cenário comunicativo.

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar as ações tomadas por diferentes atores com a capacidade de impedir a disseminação de notícias falsas: instituições europeias e governos nacionais, os media e as principais empresas tecnológicas. Assim, através do estudo de relatórios e textos legislativos ou a revisão do crescimento das iniciativas de fact-checking, os autores desenharão uma panorâmica sobre como a desinformação é abordada na União Europeia.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) Xunta de GaliciaS

Accepting the Digital Challenge: Business Models and Audience Participation in Online Native Media

Since the mid-1990s, many journalistic initiatives have entered the online environment, either as a continuation of brands already consolidated in conventional formats or as native projects of the new medium. In Spain, the online media scene has just completed its first quarter century of life. This said, the aim of this proposal is to present the evolution of the digital native media in Spain in order to compare their current situation with European success stories. For that purpose, we have conducted a comparative case study between three highlighted Spanish digital native news outlets and three from other European countries. The results show a progressive shift towards a member-funded model, while news outlets try to reduce their dependence on advertising. However, the three European natives seem to be more advanced compared to the Spanish cases as these remain still dependent on advertising revenues to stand upright. Furthermore, two models of participation stand out: the user community and, in particular, the model of collaboration networks. Nevertheless, the study reveals how the analyzed European news outlets are changing the role of the reader through innovative forms of participatory interactivityThis article has been developed within the research project “Digital Native Media in Spain: Storytelling Formats and Mobile Strategy (RTI2018-093346-B-C33)”, funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Government of Spain) and co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Synthesis of Fully Substituted Pyrimidines

A novel approach to the synthesis of fully substituted pyrimidine derivatives armed with an oxy-functionalized acetate chain at the ring is described. The manifold uses amidines as the nitrogen source and activated skipped diynes as the electrophilic reactive partners in a coupled domino strategy. In the first domino reaction, two consecutive aza-Michael additions assemble the six-membered ring heterocycle, while in the second domino process, a [H]-shift and a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement lead to the aromatization of the product.This research was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MICINN) and the European Regional Development Fund (CTQ2011- 28417-C02-02).

[ES] Involucrar a los hombres en la planificación familiar tiene efectos positivos. Las opciones anticonceptivas masculinas actuales son insuficientes, por ello, se están investigando diversos métodos hormonales y no hormonales reversibles que permitan ampliar estas opciones y compartir la anticoncepción de una manera más equitativa. Uno de los anticonceptivos actualmente más avanzado es el método reversible masculino de larga duración denominado RISUG. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es estudiar la aceptabilidad de estos métodos de anticoncepción masculina reversible de larga duración (LARC) en profesionales sanitarios y estudiantes universitarios y como objetivos secundarios analizar los factores asociados a su posible uso, el conocimiento y las características positivas y negativas del método

Incidence of Diabetic Foot in the Podiatry Clinic of the University of La Coruña

La Diabetes Mellitus es una enfermedad de elevada incidencia en nuestro país, se sabe que afecta aproximadamente a un 5% de la población española generando un elevado coste económico derivado directamente de la enfermedad y sus complicaciones. Un 25% de los diabéticos tiene problemas en sus pies debido a la aparición de heridas crónicas (“pie diabético” y enfermedad vascular periférica), de tal forma que uno de cada quince diabéticos sufrirá amputación de una de sus extremidades inferiores, y de ellos, el 30-40% perderá la otra extremidad en 3 años. Convirtiendo a la DM en la principal causa de amputación no traumática. A través de este estudio pretendemos conocer la incidencia de diabéticos que acuden a la Clínica Universitaria de Podología, en adelante CUP y de patología asociada al síndrome de pie diabético con la finalidad de mejorar la prevención de aparición de lesiones a nivel de MMII derivadas de esta enfermedad.Diabetes Mellitus is a disease of high incident in our country, it is known that it (he, she) affects approximately 5 % of the Spanish population generating a high economic cost derived directly from the disease and his(her,your) complications. About a 25 % of the diabetics has problems in their feet, due to the appearance of chronic sores (“diabetic foot” and vascular peripheral disease), in such a way that one of every fifteen diabetics will suffer amputation of one of their low extremities, and of them, 30-40 % will lose another extremity in 3 years. Turning the DM into the principal reason of not traumatic amputation. Across this study we try to know the diabetics’ incident that they come to the CUP and of pathology associated with the syndrome of diabetic foot with the purpose of improving the prevention of appearance of injuries to MMII’s level derived from this disease
