Las culturas de la emigración española: reflejos audiovisuales de la clase obrera
2019
[spa] El objetivo del presente artículo es estudiar la representación de la emigración española hacia Europa, colocando el acento en su pertenencia a la clase obrera. Por ello, consideraremos films rodados en el contexto franquista, propuestas realizadas al margen de la industria o militantes, películas producidas por los países de acogida o audiovisuales dirigidos por personas que hayan vivido la experiencia de la emigración (primera y segunda generación). Todas estas distintas variables nos permitirán conocer y estudiar la complejidad que entraña abordar este tema y a su vez también analizaremos la relevancia que se concede en estos títulos a la condición obrera. Asimismo, valoraremos la …
Enhanced query processing for NoSQL crowdsourcing systems
2014
In this paper, we provide a novel approach for effectively and efficiently support query processing tasks in novel NoSQL crowdsourcing systems. The idea of our method is to exploit the social knowledge available from reviews about products of any kind, freely provided by customers through specialized web sites. We thus define a NoSQL database system for large collections of product reviews, where queries can be expressed in terms of natural language sentences whose answers are modeled as lists of products ranked based on the relevance of reviews w.r.t. the natural language sentences. The best ranked products in the result list can be seen as the best hints for the user based on crowd opinio…
Patient Safety Through the Analysis of «Grey’s Anatomy»; Season 6, Episode 6. I Saw What I Saw
2016
Patient safety constitutes a public health problem due to the repercussions that has in the care process and in the patients. The viewing of Grey’s Anatomy Episode “I saw what I saw” allows to value the importance of searching for the causes of an error and, at the same time, allows to detect commonplace situations (stress, organization, personal and ambient factors) that increase the possibility of errors in class. The process enables students to realize the importance not only of personal aspects, but of multiple possible causes of errors and the importance of health planning.
La Balia (1999). Una visión de las nodrizas en los albores del Siglo XX
2012
[ES] La película La Balia (1999) nos permite reflexionar sobre la importancia histórica de la figura de las nodrizas en el período entre los siglos XIX y XX. Una figura normalizada en la época y que permitió por una parte a las mujeres donantes tener un papel fundamental en el mantenimiento de sus familias, y por la otra permitió la superviviencia de niños gracias a la alimentación con leche materna. [EN] The film La Balia/ The Nanny (1999) allows us to reflect on the historical significance of the figure of the wet nurses in the period between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A standardized set the time and allowed for some women donors have a key role in the maintenance of their fa…
Infección controlada. Maneras de representar el estado de excepción en el cine de pandemias
2018
En el presente escrito se muestra cómo el cine de las décadas posmodernistas ha plasmado un estado político singular, el de excepción, vinculado en estas películas a la propagación de una pandemia. Como arte popular, el cine ha sido una herramienta potentísima para crear imaginarios en la sociedad del capitalismo avanzado y para influir en lo que los ciudadanos estimen probable de una situación dada. El motivo de la declaración de emergencia, control militar y estado de excepción se ha convertido durante esas décadas en uno de los más utilizados, especialmente en los blockbusters de género fantástico. In this paper it’s argued how the movies from the postmodernist decades have shown a singu…
Microcinematographic Studies of Mycoplasma hominis Cells
1973
Cells of two strains of Mycoplasma hominis growing in liquid medium on a glass surface were observed continuously, and cinematographic pictures were taken. Most of the observed structures showed reversible changes of their shape, suggesting the presence of contractile material in membrane or cytoplasma. The frequency and speed of such variations were measured. The deformations seem to be related to multiplication. The mechanisms of these phenomena are unknown.
On the origin of worries about modern health hazards: Experimental evidence for a conjoint influence of media reports and personality traits
2017
Objective: Worries about health threatening effects of potential health hazards of modern life (e.g. electric devices and pollution) represent a growing phenomenon in Western countries. Yet, little is known about the causes of this growing special case of affective risk perceptions termed Modern Health Worries (MHW). The purpose of this study is to examine a possible role of biased media reports in the formation of MHW. Design: In two experiments, we investigated whether typical television reports affect MHW. In Study 1, 130 participants were randomly assigned to a film on idiopathic environmental intolerance (IEI) or a control film about cystic fibrosis. In Study 2, 82 participants were ra…
3D reconstruction techniques made easy: know-how and pictures
2005
Three-dimensional reconstructions represent a visual-based tool for illustrating the basis of three-dimensional post-processing such as interpolation, ray-casting, segmentation, percentage classification, gradient calculation, shading and illumination. The knowledge of the optimal scanning and reconstruction parameters facilitates the use of three-dimensional reconstruction techniques in clinical practise. The aim of this article is to explain the principles of multidimensional image processing in a pictorial way and the advantages and limitations of the different possibilities of 3D visualisation.
