[en] This dissertation examines the relationship between word and image in the work of William S. Burroughs from the perspective of literary theory, comparative literature, and creative writing as background theories. A glimpse into the evolution of this author's creative process reveals that, from a very early stage, Burroughs linked his consciousness to a set of technologies to produce text, creating a semiotic system worthy of study. Burroughs integrates an archive into his system to bridge the evident mnemonic constraints of free association of ideas. Brion Gysin's cut-up method was crucial in the development of such a system, which could be defined as a machine, composed of sub-machines with which to process text in its broadest sense. Once the text was appropriated and processed, the author's consciousness selected "intersections" or "coordinates" from which it spins, unravels, and remakes a narrative that by its constitution reflects the feedback and reflexivity of the system itself. Both authors produced several theoretical manifestos about the cut-up method. Texts obtained through the cut-up method disarticulate the traditional syntax and affect the reader's consciousness in a radical way. A juxtaposition of contents in Burroughs' experimental texts connects directly with hypnagogic, dreams, various forms of paramnesia, and cinema.

[gl] Esta tese doutoral examina a relación entre palabra e imaxe na obra de William S. Burroughs desde a teoría da literatura, a literatura comparada, e a escritura creativa. Unha mirada á evolución do proceso creativo deste autor descobre que Burroughs vincula a súa conciencia a un conxunto de tecnoloxías para producir texto desde data temperá, creando un sistema semiótico digno de estudo mediante estratexias de fragmentación e combinatoria. Burroughs integra un arquivo no seu sistema para salvar os evidentes límites mnemónicos da asociación libre de ideas. O método cut-up de Brion Gysin foi crucial no desenvolvemento do devandito sistema, que podería definirse como unha máquina, composta por submáquinas coas que procesar o texto no seu sentido máis amplo. Unha vez apropiado e procesado o texto, a conciencia do autor estuda e selecciona unhas "interseccións" ou "coordenadas" a partir das cales fía, deshila, e rehíla un relato que pola súa constitución reflicte a retroalimentación e reflexividad do propio sistema. Os textos obtidos mediante o método cut-up desarticulan a sintaxe tradicional e afectan a conciencia do lector de maneira radical. A yuxtaposición de contidos nos textos experimentais de Burroughs entronca directamente coa hipnagogia, o soño, varias formas de paramnesia, e o cinema.
[en] In this investigation we want to study the link between Institutional Theory and Corporate Social responsibility in four- and five star hotels located in the Euro-Region (Galicia and North of Portugal). Our main goal is to answer the question is there a tendency towards isomorphism in the CSR practices that these companies carry out? Why? We believe that the Institutional Theory (Scott, 1995; DiMaggio and Powell, 1991) is a valid approach to explaining the isomorphic behaviour of these organizations. To specificy the research model we used the Structural Equations Models (SEM) methodology using the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique, analyzing a total of ten models, five first-class and five second class. The originality of this work is derived from the combination of the following aspects: - theoretical framework (institutional theory and CSR): - object under study (three, four and five-star hotels); - geographical area (Euro-Region); - socio-economic context (economic crisis); - field of study (private sphere); - and type of organizations (profit). It is based on a model that can be used in future research (sector, object under study, geographical area, economic situation, etc.)

[gl] Nesta investigación queremos estudar a vinculación da Teoría Institucional e a Responsabilidade Social Corporativa nos hoteis de tres, catro e cinco estrelas situados na Eurorrexión (Galicia e Norte de Portugal). O noso principal obxectivo é responder á pregunta: Existe unha tendencia ao isomorfismo nas prácticas de RSC que levan a cabo estas empresas? É por que? Consideramos que a Teoría Institucional (Scott, 1995; DiMaggio e Powell, 1991) constitúe un enfoque válido para explicar o comportamento isomórfico das organizacións. Para a especificación do modelo de investigación utilizamos a metodoloxía Structural Equations Models (SEM) mediante a técnica Partial Least Square (PLS), analizando un total de dez modelos, cinco de primeira orde e cinco de segunda orde. A orixinalidade deste traballo deriva do conxunto dos seguintes aspectos: - marco teórico (Teoría Institucional e RSC); - obxecto de estudo (hoteis de tres, catro e cinco estrelas); - área xeográfica (Eurorrexión); - contexto (crise económica); - ámbito de estudo (esfera privada); - e tipo de organizacións (con ánimo de lucro). Está baseado nun modelo replicable en futuras investigacións (sector, obxecto de estudo, área xeográfica, situación económica etc).
[en] The Dictionary of Education and Teaching Methods by Mariano Carderera is a fundamental work on educational topics essential to the understanding of the situation of education in Spain as well as Europe in the 19th century. Thanks to the author's broad personal and professional background and training –a man who was highly familiar with the pedagogical experiences of the time and an expert on the situation of the teaching sector– he developed a basic reference work to shed light on the situation of education in that time period. However, his work does include a many traditional suppositions, bordering on the reactionary in some cases, such as his considerations on the educational possibilities of women. This article reviews the most important contents of the four volumes comprising the work. There is no lack of references to a wide variety of subjects ranging from different aspects of the history of education, student discipline, the condition of teachers, the distribution of time and work in the school and the development of teaching strategies in the school environment

[gl] O Diccionario de educación y métodos de enseñanza de Mariano Carderera resulta ser unha obra de temática educativa fundamental para coñecer a situación do ensino español, ou mesmo europeo, a mediados do século XIX. A ampla formación persoal e profesional do autor, bo coñecedor das experiencias pedagóxicas do momento e home ben documentado sobre a situación do sector docente, permitiulle elaborar unha obra básica para entender a situación do ensino no momento en que a describe, aínda que deban recoñecerse nela bastantes presupostos tradicionais, e mesmo reaccionarios nalgúns casos, como nas súas consideracións sobre as posibilidades educativas da muller. Preténdese aquí facer un percorrido polos contidos máis significativos dos catro volumes de que consta a obra, nos cales non faltan referencias a asuntos como diversos aspectos de historia da educación, a disciplina dos alumnos, a condición dos mestres, a distribución do tempo e do traballo na escola ou as estratexias pedagóxicas que cómpre desenvolver no ámbito educativo.
[en] Water, source of life, is the most important element for understanding cultural landscapes. Its necessary mobilization through the use of gravity creates territories through a wise management. The human being has been able to generate inhabitable landscapes and revert negative natural original conditions into positive conditions by proposing management and functioning techniques very close to the water cycle and nature. By studying these techniques, it is possible to discover villages such as the "Hydraulic spaces" that manage water within its territory. This fact empathizes a complex system, which is absolutely measured and constructed according to the strict discipline of water, managed in "man común" from the "casal", which is the base cell of the community. The different hydraulic units are articulated amongst themselves, always with the preminence of those located upstream so that those located downstream will benefit from "overflows" in a coherent set where the different elements, dams and levada are coupled together so water is in ceaselessly ongoing and use: "water does not sleep". With this logic, a system that allows to adapt to the variability of nature using water resources as a process in which human being intervenes has been created. An interpretation that not only allows to historically understand a mode of occupation, but reveals a rich knowledge of local conditions and provides information for the development of new techniques that incorporate these wise principles.

[gl] A auga, fonte de vida, é o elemento máis importante para comprender as paisaxes culturais. A sua necesaria movilización mediante o empleo da gravedade conforma territorios mediante un sabio manexo. O ser humano foi capaz de xerar paisaxes habitables e revertir as orixinais condicións negativas naturais en positivas, planteando técnicas de xestión e de funcionamento moi próximas ó ciclo da auga e á natureza. Estudiar estas técnicas descubre as aldeas como "espacios hidráulicos" que manexan a auga do seu territorio. Ponse de relevo un sistema complexo, absolutamente medido e construido segundo a estricta disciplina da auga, xestionado en "man común" desde o "casal", célula base da comunidade. As distintas unidades hidráulicas articulanse entre sí, sempre coa preminencia das situadas augas arriba de maneira que as situadas augas abaixo veranse beneficiadas dos "reboses", nun conxunto coherente onde os distintos elementos, presas e levada acoplanse entre sí de maneira que a auga está en continuo movemento e uso: "a auga non durme". Con esta lóxica crearonse sistemas que permiten adaptarse á variabilidade da natureza utilizando o recurso hídrico como un proceso no que interven o ser humano. Lecturas que permiten non só entender históricamente un modo de ocupación, senon que revelan un coñecemento riquísimo das condicións locais e dan información para o desenrolo de novas técnicas que incorporen estes sabios principios.
[en] Computer Vision provides a new and promising approach to Civil Engineering, where it is extremely important to measure with accuracy real world processes. However, Computer Vision is a broad field, involving several techniques and topics, and the task of defining a systematic development approach is problematic. In this thesis a new methodology is carried out to develop these systems attending to the special characteristics and requirements of Civil Engineering. Following this methodology, two systems were developed: A system to measure displacements from real images of material surfaces taken during strength tests. This technique solves the limitation of current physical sensors, which interfere with the assay and which are limited to obtaining measurements in a single point of the material and in a single direction of the movement. A system to measure the trajectory of fishes in vertical slot fishways, whose purpose is to solve current lacks in the design of fishways by providing information of fish behavior. These applications represent significant contributions to the field and show that the defined and implemented methodology provides a systematic and reliable framework to develop a Computer Vision system in Civil Engineering.

[gl] A Visión Artificial proporciona unha nova e prometedora aproximación ó campo da Enxeñería Civil, onde é extremadamente importante medir con precisión diferentes procesos. Sen embargo, a Visión Artificial é un campo moi amplo que abarca multitude de técnicas e obxectivos, e definir unha aproximación de desenvolvemento sistemática é problemático. En esta tese proponse unha nova metodoloxía para desenvolver estes sistemas considerando as características e requisitos da Enxeñería Civil. Seguindo esta metodoloxía desenvolvéronse dous sistemas: Un sistema para a medición de desprazamentos e deformacións en imaxes de ensaios de resistencia de materiais. Solucionando as limitacións dos actuais sensores físicos que interfiren co ensaio e só proporcionan medicións nun punto e nunha dirección determinada. Un sistema para a medición da traxectoria de peixes en escalas de fenda vertical, co que se pretende solucionar as carencias no deseño de escalas obtendo información sobre o comportamento dos peixes. Estas aplicacións representan contribucións significativas na área, e demostran que a metodoloxía definida e implementada proporciona un marco de traballo sistemático e confiable para o desenvolvemento de sistemas de Visión Artificial en Enxeñería Civil.
[en] The aim of this research is to analyze a house of the modern movement from the perspective of the Passivhaus standard. The Casa Domínguez de Alejandro de la Sota is chosen as a case study, for its path in architecture towards technical rationalization and its defense of new technologies as a means capable of solving problems and social demands. An approach is made to the principles of the Passivhaus standard to determine which parameters of the building are relevant for its study. After obtaining the necessary data, the energy balance of the house is analyzed according to the Passivhaus methodology. It is carried out by 3d modeling with the Sketchup DesignPH pluggin and its subsequent data dump in the PHPP application. Once the results are obtained, they are analyzed and conclusions are drawn from the analysis of housing from the Passivhaus perspective.

Realízase un achegamento aos principios do estándar Passivhaus para determinar que parámetros da edificación son relevantes para o seu estudo. Estúdase o proxecto desde os condicionantes iniciais, estratexia arquitectónica e solucións construtivas máis relevantes. A partir da obtención dos datos necesarios procédese á análise do balance enerxético da vivenda. Léevase a cabo mediante o modelado 3d co pluggin para Sketchup DesignPH e o posterior volcado de datos en PHPP. Unha vez obtidos os resultados analízanse os mesmos e extráense as conclusións da análise da vivenda desde a perspectiva Passivhaus.
[en] The Media constitute a key factor in the transmission of believers and values in the current society. Through the limited effects' perspective, they are understood as impersonal agents that act in a conditioned and long-term manner over individuals allowing deep changes in their way of thinking and behaving. Due to their structural character and to their magnitude, the social problem about which the media treatment's analysis was made was violence against women. In a more specific way, it tried to understand which are the characteristics found in the news conducted in matters of gender violence, sexual abuse and sexual harassment in the newspapers EL PAÍS and ABC. The methodology used was based on the analysis of news' content published from July to November in 2017. The results achieved describe the form of these reports, of their structure and their adaptation to the current regulation that standardize media treatment of this information.

[gl] Os medios de comunicación constitúen un elemento chave na transmisión de crenzas e valores na sociedade actual. A través do enfoque de efectos limitados, enténdense como axentes impersoais que actúan de forma condicionada e a longo prazo sobre o individuo posibilitando cambios profundos na forma de pensar e de actuar. Debido ó seu carácter estrutural e á súa magnitude, a problemática social sobre a que se analizou o tratamento mediático é a violencia cara as mulleres. De xeito máis preciso, buscouse comprender cales son as características das informacións realizadas en materia de violencia de xénero, abuso sexual e acoso sexual a través do xornal EL PAÍS e ABC. Empregouse unha metodoloxía baseada na análise de contido de novas publicadas entre xullo e novembro de 2017. Os resultados obtidos dan conta da forma destas novas, da súa estrutura e da adecuación á norma vixente que regula o tratamento xornalístico destas informacións.
[en] Introduction: The presence of a terminal illness in the life of a person generates alterations in comfort directly and indirectly related to the diagnosed disease. This comfort transcends the physical dimension, affecting the different dimensions: psycho-spiritual, environmental and social. Objective: Compile and analyse the existing evidence about nonpharmacological interventions aimed at improving comfort in palliative cancer patients. Methodology: A search was carried out in the following databases (PUBMED, WOS, SCOPUS, CUIDEN and BVS), from which a total of 25 valid results were obtained for the bibliographical review. Results: The best evaluated interventions were those related to the psycho-spiritual context, highlighting the guided imagination and relaxation. Moreover, after the analysis, the implementation of the activities in hospital and socio-sanitary areas stands out in comparison with home implementation. Conclusion: After the analysis of the publications, it is concluded that all mentioned interventions are reflected in the NIC taxonomy, so it is the responsibility of the nursing staff to implement them in order to provide quality care.

[gl] Introdución: A presenza dunha enfermidade terminal na vida dunha persoa, xera alteracións no confort relacionadas directa e indirectamente coa enfermedidade diagnosticada. O confort traspasa a dimensión física, afectando as diferentes dimensións: psico-espiritual, ambiental e social. Obxectivo: Recopilar e analizar a evidencia existente acerca das intervencións non farmacolóxicas dirixidas a mellorar o confort nos pacientes oncolóxicos paliativos. Metodoloxía: Realizouse unha busca nas seguintes bases de datos (PUBMED, WOS, SCOPUS, CUIDEN Y BVS) das que se obtiveron un total de 25 resultados válidos para a revisión bibliográfica. Resultados: As intervencións mellor avaliadas foron as referentes ao contexto psico-espiritual, destacando a imaxinación guiada e a relaxación. Do mesmo xeito, tras o análise destaca a implementación das actividades nos ámbitos hospitalarios e socio-sanitarios frente ao domiciliario. Conclusión: Tras o análise das publicacións, conclúese que todas as intervencións mencionadas reflíctense na taxonomía NIC, polo que é responsabilidade do persoal de enfermaría implementalas para dispensar coidados de calidade.
[en] The salicylic acid is a phenolic plant hormone that plays a key role in the immune response of the plants. This plant hormone is related to a kind of response that includes the systemic acquired resistance (SAR). SAR is totally dependent on the salicylic acid, in both local response in the infected tissues and systemic response in distant tissues. The direct effect of salicylic acid on pathogens is still unknown. It is known that phenolic compounds might have antimicrobial properties, therefore, this work will determine whether salicylic acid can show fungicidal properties. The results show inhibition of the growth of Phytophthora capsici and also in a lesser extent of Botrytis cinerea. The results only allowed to calculate the ED50 (Effective dose or the concentration that reduces growth to the half) for P.capsici (459.72 μM SA), but it could not be calculated for B. cinerea since the toxicity was much lower. SA treatments to the plant were not effective in reducing the symptoms of P. capsici.

[gl] O ácido salicílico é una hormona vexetal de natureza fenólica que xoga un papel fundamental na resposta inmune das plantas. Esta fitohormona asociase cun tipo de resposta que inclúe a resistencia sistémica adquirida (SAR). A SAR é dependente do ácido salicílico, tanto nas respostas locais nos tecidos infectados como para a resposta sistémica nos tecidos distais. Descoñécese o efecto directo que o ácido salicílico pode causar nos patóxenos. Sábese que os fenois poden posuír propiedades antimicrobianas, por isto, neste traballo pretendese determinar se o propio ácido salicílico presenta propiedades funxicidas. As probas amosan inhibición do crecemento de Phytophthora capsici e en menor medida de Botrytis cinerea. Os resultados só permitiron calcular a ED50 (cantidade necesaria para reducir á metade o crecemento) no caso de P. capsici (459,72 μM SA), con B. cinerea non foi posible calculalo xa que a toxicidade foi baixa. Ó aplicar os tratamentos de SA en planta, non se observou a redución dos síntomas de P. capsici.
[en] Background: gender roles are roles given to men and women by society on the basis of a particular culture, which influence both perform activities in their daily lives . Currently the daily activities of women are still linked to the care of family responsibilities which hinders the development of vital occupations, access to a job. Objectives: the overall objective of this project is to explore how it is perceived reconciling family occupations and university teaching from the point of view of different stakeholders. Methodology: the research will be approached from a qualitative perspective in order to know and understand a contextualized reality. Participation as this allows you to collect and analyze information on a particular aspect in collaboration with the people involved in the study , establishing a horizontal relationship between researcher and participants and involving them in - a methodological approach based on theoretical research action will be used creating new opportunities and a process of positive social change.

[gl] Introdución: os roles de xénero son papeis otorgados a homes e mulleres pola sociedade en base a unha cultura determinada , os cales inflúen nas actividades que ambos realizan no seu día a día. Actualmente as actividades diarias da muller seguen estando vinculadas á atención das responsabilidades familiares o cal, dificulta o desenvolvemento de ocupacións vitais cómo é o acceso a un posto de traballo. Obxectivos: o obxectivo xeral deste proxecto é o de explorar cómo é percibida a conciliación de ocupacións laborais e familiares na docencia universitaria dende o punto de vista dos diferentes actores involucrados. Metodoloxía: a investigación abordarase dende unha perspectiva cualitativa coa finalidade de coñecer e comprender unha realidade contextualizada. Empregarase un enfoque teórico – metodolóxico baseado na Investigación Acción – Participación, xa que permite recoller e analizar a información en colaboración cas persoas que participan no estudio , establecendo unha relación horizontal entre investigadora e facéndolles participes da creación de novas oportunidades e de un proceso de cambio social positivo.
