A (des)confiança dos jornalistas espanhóis às instituições públicas a partir do estudo de fatores organizacionais
2016
Existe un creciente interés en la bibliografía científica por conocer las prácticas y rutinas de las y los periodistas en distintos contextos (Hanitzsch et al., 2011). La confianza que tienen estos profesionales en las instituciones públicas es una variable clave para comprender su cultura profesional (Hanitzsch & Berganza, 2012; Brants, de Vreese, Möller & van Praag, 2010; van Dalen, Albæk & de Vreese, 2011), así como el interés y la confianza de la ciudadanía en la política (Cappella & Jamieson, 1997). Este estudio pretende conocer el nivel de confianza de las y los periodistas españoles en las instituciones públicas y verificar si el tipo, alcance y propiedad del medio influyen en dichos…
The debate on rare diseases : a look at media response
2015
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://ojs.uv.es/index.php/Metode/article/view/7188/7809 Este monográfico lleva por título "Science grid : the public understanding of science". Rare diseases (RDs) are those that affect fewer than five people in every 10,000. There are around 7,000 RDs, they are difficult to diagnose and very few have a treatment. This article explores how the media report on the arguments and counter-arguments regarding the access to drugs for these pathologies, with critical discourse analysis for the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We concluded that, in times of crisis, the debate polarises around economic arguments (the price of drugs), r…
Pensamiento dominante, educación y medios de comunicación
2018
Comunicar es algo más que transmitir información. El desarrollo de la tecnología e internet han evolucionado el acto de comunicar en el mundo y se han creado nuevos espacios de comunicación. Los medios de comunicación suelen estar al servicio de un determinado poder, que puede ser público o privado. Sin embargo en este artículo se pone el acento en los intereses que tienen determinados poderes del ámbito privado y el uso que hacen de los medios de comunicación para defender y promover dichos intereses. No obstante, ese poder también puede dar lugar a formas de resistencias que sirvan para subvertir el orden establecido. Los medios de comunicación sirven como altavoces del pensamiento único …
SOIL QUALITY INDICATORS AS AFFECTED BY SHALLOW TILLAGE IN A VINEYARD GROWN IN A SEMIARID MEDITERRANEAN ENVIRONMENT
2016
Within the Mediterranean basin, soil tillage enhances the mineralisation of soil organic matter. We assessed the short-term impact of shallow tillage [field cultivator (FC), rotary tiller (RT) and spading machine (SM)] on some soil quality indicators [bulk density, water-stable aggregates, total and labile organic C pools (microbial biomass and extractable organic C), soil respiration and related eco-physiological indexes] in a Sicilian vineyard. Also no tillage was included. We hypothesized that (i) RT and FC worsened soil quality indicators more than SM, and (ii) within the same tillage system, labile C pools, soil respiration and eco-physiological indexes will respond more efficiently th…
Performance of a MBR pilot plant treating high strength wastewater subject to salinity increase: Analysis of biomass activity and fouling behaviour
2013
Membrane bioreactors produce high quality effluents that could be suitable for reuse. However, when treating high strength wastewater subject to a salinity increase, a modification of biomass characteristics may occur. This circumstance is of importance, since it can have a significant impact in terms of biokinetic as well as fouling behaviour. The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of a pilot plant MBR, in terms of biomass activity and membrane fouling, fed with high strength synthetic wastewater, when subject to a salinity increase. With normal salinity, the pilot plant showed high removal efficiencies and high biomass respiratory activity. On the other hand, the salinity in…
Life in a nutshell: evolution of a migratory metaphor in Spanish cartoons
2014
This article studies the image of the boat immigrants use to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Europe and Africa, through the analysis of 125 cartoons published in Spanish press between 2006 and 2012. Our study shows that in this span of seven years – which coincides with a period of growth for Spanish economy and the subsequent crisis – there was an interesting and meaningful conceptual evolution regarding the image of the immigrant boat. This situation resulted in argumentatively effective visual analogies, metaphors and metonymies which evolved all along this period, making this boat a cultural symbol of our time. The article also intends to highlight the importance of cart…
Mass-Media Communication in Romania
2017
Abstract Over 1200 new publications have appeared in Romania since the fall of communism. Some of them don’t exist anymore, but there always appear new ones. The Romanian newspaper market comprises about 1500 publications most of which appear on a weekly basis and 200 daily newspapers. Television is the most familiar source of information. The radio landscape has changed considerably - similar to the television - since 1990. Besides the public broadcaster offering several programs, there are over 150 private local radio stations and various other channels. Despite the diversity of the Romanian press, we cannot yet speak of a completely free press (see the report of the Freedom House organiz…
Agenda y marcos en las webs de PP y PSOE en la cibercampaña de 2011
2014
Introducción: El impacto de las TIC sobre el modelo de comunicación política mediática ha otorgado una creciente centralidad a las webs partidistas en la estrategia de los partidos políticos, desde donde tratan de imponer su agenda en el espacio público. Objetivos y metodología: Este estudio propone un análisis integrado de a) la construcción de la agenda temática, b) el ataque al rival político y c) los frames de PP y PSOE en la campaña de 2011 a través de las noticias publicadas diariamente en sus sitios web. La metodología combina el análisis de contenido clásico, incorporando variables relativas al ataque al rival político, con una doble propuesta cuantitativa-cualitativa de análisis de…
Who is willing to pay for science? On the relationship between public perception of science and the attitude to public funding of science.
2012
This article examines the relationship between the general public's understanding of science and the attitude towards public funding of scientific research. It applies a multivariate and discriminant analysis (Wilks' Lambda), in addition to a more commonly used bivariate analysis (Cramer's V), to data compiled from the Third National Survey on the Social Perception of Science and Technology in Spain (FECYT, 2006). The general conclusion is that the multivariate analysis produces information complementary to the bivariate analysis, and that the variables commonly applied in public perception studies have limited predictive value with respect to the attitude towards public funding of scientif…
Appetizer or main dish? Explaining the use of Facebook news posts as a substitute for other news sources
2019
An increasing number of, especially younger, users use Facebook as their primary source for news about political and societal issues. At the same time, research suggests that Facebook use contributes to societal knowledge gaps. Against this background, we investigate the antecedents of using Facebook as a substitute for other news sources. We argue that exposure to news posts on Facebook increases the feeling of being well-informed, regardless of actual knowledge acquisition. This might lead users, especially those with a low need for cognition (NfC), to use Facebook as a substitute for other news sources. We test these assumptions with an online survey (n=390) of German Internet users. Res…
