El público de teatro en la España del siglo XXI

espanolEl futuro del sector teatral espanol y, en especial, la posibilidad de que este adquiera autentica relevancia social en el siglo XXI dependeran de su capacidad para incrementar su publico y establecer con el relaciones diferentes a las que ha mantenido hasta ahora. Para ello, debera gestionar los efectos que las tendencias de consumo estan teniendo sobre el comportamiento del publico y considerar a este como un elemento central en el diseno de sus propuestas creativas y de gestion cultural. EnglishThe future of Spanish theatre, and especially the possibility for it to acquire sound social relevance will largely depend on its ability to increase its audience and to establish new relationships with the public. For that purpose, an efficient management of the effects of present consumer trends and the consideration of the public as the nuclear and critical element in the design of its activities are strongly required.
Property Tax Reform and the User Cost of Owner-occupied Housing in the EU

In this paper we compute the user cost of housing capital investment in four EU countries (France, Italy, Spain and the UK) following Poterba (1984, 1992) and Poterba and Sinai (2008) to investigate the role played by tax policy during the recent period. Our results suggest that current tax provisions – including both recurrent property taxes and mortgage interest tax deductions – bring about significant differences in the user cost of capital across income deciles. Taking a normative perspective, we also simulate the effects of taxing imputed rental income. In a sensitivity analysis, we show that house price evolutions have dominated other considerations about the user cost over the recent period, leading to large variations in the cost of housing investment. This even occurs when prospective homeowners incorporate a long-term view of the housing market.
3D Modelling of Shoe Lasts Using Templates Based on Anthropometrical Measurements of the Foot Case Study

The article presents a method of designing templates for modelling shoe lasts, according to specific anthropometrical dimensions of a subject's foot, employed as military personnel. The subject's peculiarity lies in the type of professional activity that he is carrying out; the lower limbs have a much greater risk of injury and there is the need to prevent such problems by using special footwear, which will not restrict the conduct of his military activities. The design of last's templates consists in creating a geometrical construction based on the dimensional characteristics of the subject's feet. Using software such as Delcam Engineer and Last Maker new techniques for modelling shoe lasts were developed. The advantages of the presented method are represented by the decreased time of last's design and the accuracy of the results. Applying this method to a larger scale enables its development and allows footwear manufacturers to achieve a diverse range of products, faster and at lower costs than current possibilities.
Geodynamic and metabolic cycles in the Hadean

Abstract. High-degree melting of hot dry Hadean mantle at ocean ridges and plumes resulted in a crust about 30km thick, overlain in places by extensive and thick mafic volcanic plateaus. Continental crust, by contrast, was relatively thin and mostly submarine. At constructive and destructive plate boundaries, and above the many mantle plumes, acidic hydrothermal springs at ~400°C contributed Fe and other transition elements as well as P and H2 to the deep ocean made acidulous by dissolved CO2 and minor HCl derived from volcanoes. Away from ocean ridges, submarine hydrothermal fluids were cool (≤100°C), alkaline (pH ~10), highly reduced and also H2-rich. Reaction of solvents in this fluid with those in ocean water was catalyzed in a hydrothermal mound, a natural self-restoring flow reactor and fractionation column developed above the alkaline spring. The mound consisted of brucite, Mg-rich clays, ephemeral carbonates, Fe-Ni sulfide and green rust. Acetate and glycine were the main products, some of which were eluted to the ocean. The rest, along with other organic byproducts were retained and concentrated within Fe-Ni sulfide compartments. These compartments, comprising the natural hydrothermal reactor, consisted partly of greigite (Fe5NiS8). It was from reactions between organic modules confined within these inorganic compartments that the first prokaryotic organism evolved. These acetogenic precursors to the bacteria diversified and migrated down the mound and into the ocean floor to inaugurate the "deep biosphere". Once there they were protected from cataclysmic heating events caused by large meteoritic impacts. Geodynamic forces led to the eventual obduction of the deep biosphere into the photic zone where, initially protected by a thin veneer of sediment, the use of solar energy was mastered and photosynthesis emerged. The further evolution to oxygenic photosynthesis was effected as catalytic [Mn,Ca]-bearing molecules that otherwise would have been interred in minerals such as rancieite and hollandite in shallow marine manganiferous sediments, were sequestered and invaginated within the cyanobacterial precursor where, energized by light, they could oxidize water. Thus, a chemical sedimentary environment was required both for the emergence of chemosynthesis and of oxygenic photosynthesis, the two innovations that did most to change the nature of our planet.
Transformerless UPFC Using Multilevel Inverter

This paper proposes transformer-less Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) which can be able to control the parameters of the transmission line. It incorporates back to back inverter that requires large transformers for power flow injection. The transformers are somewhat bulky, very costly and introduce high losses due to magnetic properties of the material used for the erection of core. To conquer this difficulty, a totally transformer-less UPFC is proposed in this work. The proposed controller will reduce the cost and space when compared to the traditional UPFC. A multilevel configuration technique will be used to decrease the total harmonic content. The proposed configuration requires a separate dc source for every level. To reduce the switch count and to eliminate separate dc sources, this multilevel configuration can be further modified. This paper focuses on the performance of transformer-less UPFC involving Fundamental Frequency Modulation (FFM) for reducing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and increasing the efficiency. The proposed UPFC is simulated as a result of using MATLAB Simulink.
Capacity versus incentive factors explaining research productivity: Comparative and multilevel analysis of Nigeria and Ghana agricultural research systems

This paper analyzes factors that explain variations in research productivity and outreach among 344 agricultural scientists in Nigeria and 237 agricultural scientists in Ghana using multilevel analysis. Education level, years of experience, and perceived adequacy of funding, physical and human resources are significant capacity actors explaining research productivity. In addition to capacity factors, incentives also showed to be significant in explaining research productivity. Reported staff satisfaction on organizational climate, presence of strong ME while adequacy of physical and financial resources and implementation of organizational management systems seem to be the priority for Nigeria. Key words: Agricultural productivity, agricultural research, organizational culture, multilevel analysis, Africa.
Matching of Silicon Thin-Film Tandem Solar Cells for Maximum Power Output

We present a meaningful characterization method for tandem solar cells. The experimental method allows for optimizing the output power instead of the current. Furthermore, it enables the extraction of the approximate AM1.5g efficiency when working with noncalibrated spectra. Current matching of tandem solar cells under short-circuit condition maximizes the output current but is disadvantageous for the overall fill factor and as a consequence does not imply an optimization of the output power of the device. We apply the matching condition to the maximum power output; that is, a stack of solar cells is power matched if the power output of each subcell is maximal at equal subcell currents. The new measurement procedure uses additional light-emitting diodes as bias light in the characterization of tandem solar cells. Using a characterized reference tandem solar cell, such as a hydrogenated amorphous/microcrystalline silicon tandem, it is possible to extract the AM1.5g efficiency from tandems of the same technology also under noncalibrated spectra.
Effectiveness of a new short-stay unit for elective low complexity patients’ admissions to improve patient flow

Background/Objective: Specialized care in an acute hospital is the highest resource consuming type of health care. Performance improvement in health care should look for a better application of medical knowledge and resource consuming at the same time as managers locally redesigned processes and organizations in order to be more cost-effective at healthcare services delivery. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of creating a short-stay unit for elective patients as an alternative to the elective patients being admitted in an acute ward. Methods: We included all elective patients admitted in a university hospital between the 1st of January and the 31st of December 2007, as well as those admitted during the same period of 2009, after two hospital wards transformation into a short-stay unit. We used the Hospital General Database for collecting information on years 2007 and 2009. Main key performance indicators were length of stay, pre-surgery length of stay, rotation rate, discharge planning rate and cost. For statistical bivariate analysis, we used a Chi-squared for linear trend for qualitative variables and a T -test and a Wilcoxon signed ranks test and a Mann - Whitney test for non-normal continuous variables. Significance at p < . 05 was assumed throughout. Results: We included 10,678 patients, 4,423 during 2007 and 6,255 during 2009. Mean length of stay was 4.3 days (IC 95%: 4.09-4.51) in 2007 and 2.8 days (IC 95%: 2.61-3.01) in 2009 ( p < .05). Pre-surgery length of stay was reduced from 0.5 days (IC 95%: 0.44-0.56) in 2007 to 0.2 days (IC 95%: 0.17-0.23) in 2009 ( p < .05). The rotation rate was of 92 patients/bed in 2007 and of 126 patients/bed in 2009 ( p < .05). The median number of planned discharges grew from 43.05% in 2007 to 86.01% in 2009. Closing two hospital wards at weekends has generated savings of €805,376.32 through the reduction of 22 nurse employees. Conclusions: In conclusion, this approach to hospital bed management in a tertiary hospital has proven both possible and efficient. The creation of short-stay units for elective patient admissions allowed an increase in productivity per hospital bed due to a higher rotation rate and a reduction in human resources costs due to closing hospital wards at weekends.
Modelling organic aerosol concentrations and properties during ChArMEx summer campaigns of 2012 and 2013 in the western Mediterranean region

In the framework of the Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment, a measurement site was set up at a remote site (Ersa) on Corsica Island in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Measurement campaigns performed during the summers of 2012 and 2013 showed high organic aerosol concentrations, mostly from biogenic origin. This work aims to represent the organic aerosol concentrations and properties (oxidation state and hydrophilicity) using the air-quality model Polyphemus with a surrogate approach for secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. Biogenic precursors are isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. In this work, the following model oxidation products of monoterpenes are added: (i) a carboxylic acid (MBTCA) to represent multi-generation oxidation products in the low-NOx regime, (ii) organic nitrate chemistry and (iii) extremely low-volatility organic compounds (ELVOCs) formed by ozonolysis. The model shows good agreement of measurements of organic concentrations for both 2012 and 2013 summer campaigns. The modelled oxidation property and hydrophilic organic carbon properties of the organic aerosols also agree reasonably well with the measurements. The influence of the different chemical processes added to the model on the oxidation level of organics is studied. Measured and simulated water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) concentrations show that even at a remote site next to the sea, about 64 % of the organic carbon is soluble. The concentrations of WSOC vary with the origins of the air masses and the composition of organic aerosols. The marine organic emissions only contribute to a few percent of the organic mass in PM$_1$, with maxima above the sea.
Conjugated linoleic acid—snake oil or wonder fat?

Conjugated linoleic acid is a mixture of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid with conjugated double bonds located at positions 7,9, 8,10, 9,11, 10,12 or 11,13 on the carbon chain. Substantial amounts of CLA are found in products of ruminant origin due to the presence of anaerobic bacteria in the rumen that are responsible for the synthesis of CLA or precursors. Over the past decade there has been increasing interest in this group of fatty acids, particularly because of the potent antioxidative and anticarcinogenic properties attributed to one or more of these isomers. In addition, under some circumstances, dietary conjugated linoleic acid has been shown to decrease fat accretion in rodents. In this review we have compiled some very recent data on the effects of CLA on lipid metabolism in large domestic animals, specifically pigs and dairy cows. There is growing evidence that at least one isomer of CLA is a potent inhibitor of fat accretion and milk fat secretion. While the broad ranging effects of CLA that are discussed may appear reminiscent of some previous much touted snake oils it is hoped that this review may persuade the reader to rank CLA more as a wonder fat.
Novel model for renal failure and anaemia induced by 5/6 nephrectomy in wistar rat.

*Corresponding Author Shilpesh Devada shilpeshdevda@yahoo.com The present study describes modification in method of subtotal surgical renal ablation in rat and the advantageous effects of change in method in terms of biochemical and haematological parameters when compared to other established methods of nephrotoxicity. Male rats underwent 5/6 surgical nephrectomy or sham operations in two steps. The animals were divided into 3 groups viz. Group-I (Sham Control; n=6), Group-II (the whole right kidney ablation on day 1 and 2/3 left kidney ablation was done on day 7; n=10) and Group-III (the whole right kidney ablation and 2/3 leftt kidney ablation was done on same day; n=10). The haematological parameters like Haematocrit (HCT), Hemoglobin (Hb) and reticulocytes (%) and biochemical parameters like serum creatinine and urea were measured before surgery and on day 14, 21 and 28 after surgery There were significant increase in serum creatinine and urea levels in day 14, 21 and 28 post surgery suggestive of nephrotoxicity whereassignificantly decreased values of heamatocrit, haemoglobin and significantlyincreased value of reticulocytes suggest anaemia due to renal damage. Changes observed in the present study is comparable to the surgeries performed on the same day. There were more significant results in both surgery performed on the same day (Group –III) when compared to whole right kidney ablation and 2/3 left kidney ablation (Group –II) and Sham control (Group-I). There was only 20% mortality observed in group-III compared to 40 % in groupII. This model will be useful for the researcher tostudy nephotoxicity and anaemia, within short time, with less mortality, less animal suffering as per animal ethical point consideration and better values of biochemical and haematological parameters in comparison to the established models of 5/6 renal ablation.
and the media ’ s political agenda-setting influence Introduction : Political agenda-setting and mediatization as distinct worlds

Agenda-setting is one of the most influential theories on the media’s political influence (Graber, 2005). While often focusing on the media’s impact on public opinion, another equally important facet of agenda-setting theory has the media’s influence over the agendas of political actors and policy makers as its central object of investigation. Scholars use the term ‘political agenda-setting’ and in some instances ‘agenda building’ to refer to the transfer of media priorities to political priorities. Despite the growing popularity and importance of political agenda-setting research, it has seldom been conceptualized as part of or related to the mediatization of politics.
ANALYSIS OF THE OPTICAL TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE METAL PLATE WITH SLIT ARRAY

The near and far field properties of the large-scale metal plate with slit array are studied by applying the finite-difference time- domain (FDTD) method. The far region scattering properties at different incident angles are also discussed. We find out the enhanced optical transmission (EOT) through the metal plate with suitable placed narrow slit array is excited by the interaction of the surface plasmon polarization (SPP) and the Fabry-Perot resonance (FPR), and the dielectric substrate has significant influence on the transmission properties by affecting the electromagnetic field distribution on the metal-dielectric interface. Furthermore, the scattering field would be reduced and the transmission efficiency could be improved by the phase shift caused by the dielectric substrate. These unusual properties suggest possible applications to light-transparent metal contacts, stealth materials, etc.
Proposing a Model for Determining the Relation of Educational Hope and Educational Satisfaction with Students' Educational Attainment Based Upon Mediation of Educational Effort (The case of junior high school students of Tehran's smart schools)

This study attempts to identify the relation of educational hope with educational satisfaction, educational attempt and the educational progress of the students of Tehran’s smart schools. The statistical population comprises all teachers of smart schools of Tehran's 19 districts in the academic year 2011-2012. The two-stage cluster random sampling was employed to choose the sample. Research tools comprise researcher-made questionnaires of educational hope (α = 0.89), researcher-made questionnaire of students' educational satisfaction (α = 0.93), and researcher-made questionnaire of educational effort (α= 0.95), as well as the comparison of students' grades in educational attainment tests during two consecutive semesters. Generally, the research findings reveal that the impact of all investigated variables on educational has been significant. Educational hope based upon educational aptitude (0.26) has the greatest impact and after that, educational hope based upon social status (0.24) ranks second. Educational hope based upon economic status (0.28) ranks third in terms of having the greatest impact on educational attainment of students of Tehran's smart schools. Satisfaction with teacher has the greatest indirect impact upon students' educational attainment (0.055). According to the above table, GFI = 0.96, RMR=0.087, P (value) = 0.000, and df = 3 which indicate relatively high fitness of the model.

The most important reason for this fact is; nowadays, organizations have a responsibility to make their information savings and sharings a capital in order to get a competition advantage. This fact requires the managability of information more than it’s possession. The management of the information is emerged as a process which follows a wide and a systematic structure. Processing the information of organizations in accordance with the aims of the company is provided by structuring the information management process. The performance of the information management process shows the efficiency of developed system’s usage. The aim of this research is to find the dimensions of information management performance. The scale that had developed for the research applied for 300 people who work on companies that use information management processes. The dimensions of information management performance is determined as “Information Sharing”, “Information Gathering”, “Information Production”, and “Information Storing” with (CFI=0,90; NFI=0,86; TLI=0,88 and RMSEA=0,08) fit measures.

Kirigami artificial muscles with complex biologically inspired morphologies

In this paper we present bio-inspired smart structures which exploit the actuation of flexible ionic polymer composites and the kirigami design principle. Kirigami design is used to convert planar actuators into active 3D structures capable of large out-of-plane displacement and that replicate biological mechanisms. Here we present the burstbot, a fluid control and propulsion mechanism based on the atrioventricular cuspid valve, and the vortibot, a spiral actuator based on Vorticella campanula, a ciliate protozoa. Models derived from biological counterparts are used as a platform for design optimization and actuator performance measurement. The symmetric and asymmetric fluid interactions of the burstbot are investigated and the effectiveness in fluid transport applications is demonstrated. The vortibot actuator is geometrically optimized as a camera positioner capable of 360° scanning. Experimental results for a one-turn spiral actuator show complex actuation derived from a single degree of freedom control signal.
