Environmental Assessment of Energy Scenarios for a Low-Carbon Electrical Network in Chile
Authors: Merino Ivan , Herrera Israel , Valdés Hugo
Published: September 2019

Nowadays, establishing clean energy sources is an undeniable need for all territories to reconcile energy and competitiveness objectives with those of security and sustainability. This article shows the main advantages of implementing clean energy sources in the long-term Chilean electrical network. The clean energy considered in this work is based on Renewable Energy (Conventional and Non-Conventional) with the backup of gas or nuclear. Thus, four scenarios are proposed and were simulated for the year 2050, the year assumed for the decommissioning of all coal plants in the country. These scenarios contemplate a high or low penetration of Renewable Energy. Additionally, a reference and realistic scenario for the year 2018 has also been considered to compare to the clean scenarios proposed. The results obtained coincide with the goals of reducing environmental impacts such as global warming emissions and fossil fuel dependence. However, the backup that was chosen for supporting the intermittence of renewable energy may have an important role in the main system considering the expected growth of energy demands in the near future.
Big Data and Their Social Impact: Preliminary Study
Authors: Lytras Miltiades D. , Visvizi Anna
Published: September 2019

Big data is the buzz-word of today, and yet their specific impact on individuals and societies remains assumed rather than fully understood. Clearly, big data and their use have already given rise to a number of questions, including those of how data can be collected and used in ethical and socially sensitive ways. Building on these points, the objective of this study was to explore how precisely big data and big data based services influence individuals and societies. This paper elaborates on individuals’ perceptions of data, especially on how they perceive the actual sharing of their data. In this way, this paper defines a value space for the social impact of big data relevant to three factors, namely the intention to share personal data, individual’s concerns, and social impact of big data.The main contribution of this study consists of the insights into the still nascent area of research that unfolds at the cross-section of social science and computer science. We expect that in the next years this area of research will gain prominence.

Published: September 2019

The attitudes of departmental managers towards eco-labels are extremely important for the realization of sustainable tourism practices in accommodation enterprises. Research focused on determining the attitudes of hotel managers towards eco-labels is very limited. Therefore, the first aim of this study was to determine the attitude of departmental managers towards eco-labels applied in the context of sustainable tourism. The second purpose of this study was to determine whether the sustainable tourism and management activities of accommodation enterprises that did and did not have an eco-label were differentiated. To this end, this study was designed and conducted with a sample of 408 hotel managers in 83 different accommodation enterprise. Data were collected through questionnaires using convenience sampling, which is a non-probability sampling method. As a result of this research, it was determined that the attitudes of managers towards eco-labels differed according to their personal and professional characteristics. Another important finding of this study was that the sustainable management and operation activities of the hotels differed significantly according to whether or not they were eco-labeled certified. Overall, it is obvious that eco-labels have a significant impact on the implementation of environmentally friendly, responsible, and sustainable tourism practices in the accommodation sector.
Social Media Data-Based Sentiment Analysis of Tourists’ Air Quality Perceptions
Authors: Tao Yuguo , Zhang Feng , Shi Chunyun , Chen Yun
Published: September 2019

Analyzing tourists’ perceptions of air quality is of great significance to the study of tourist experience satisfaction and the image construction of tourism destinations. In this study, using the web crawler technique, we collected 27,500 comments regarding the air quality of 195 of China’s Class 5A tourist destinations posted by tourists on Sina Weibo from January 2011 to December 2017; these comments were then subjected to a content analysis using the Gooseeker, ROST CM (Content Mining System) and BosonNLP (Natural Language Processing) tools. Based on an analysis of the proportions of sentences with different emotional polarities with ROST EA (Emotion Analysis), we measured the sentiment value of texts using the artificial neural network (ANN) machine learning method implemented through a Chinese social media data-oriented Boson platform based on the Python programming language. The content analysis results indicated that in the adaption stage in Sina Weibo, tourists’ perceptions of air quality were mainly positive and had poor air pollution crisis awareness. Objective emotion words exhibited a similarly high proportion as subjective emotion words, indicating that taking both objective and subjective emotion words into account simultaneously helps to comprehensively understand the emotional content of the comments. The sentiment analysis results showed that for the entire text, sentences with positive emotions accounted for 85.53% of the total comments, with a sentiment value of 0.786, which belonged to the positive medium level; the direction of the temporal “up-down-up” changes and the spatial pattern of high in the south and low in the north (while having little difference between the east and the west) were basically consistent with reality. A further exploration of the theoretical basis of the semi-supervised ANN approach or the introduction of other machine learning methods using different data sources will help to analyze this phenomenon in greater depth. The paper provides evidence for new data and methods for air quality research in tourist destinations and provides a new tool for air quality monitoring.
CSR Committees and Their Effect on ESG Performance in UK, France, Germany, and Spain
Authors: Baraibar-Diez Elisa , D. Odriozola María
Published: September 2019

The multidisciplinary nature of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee reflects the commitment as well as the expectations and demands of diverse stakeholders. So far, CSR committees have been mainly considered as variables of control in larger corporate governance models and independent variables that determine CSR or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure and its reporting quality. However, the effect on corporate performance has been biased to financial performance, so the potential of the analysis of the effect it may have on different facets of non-financial performance has not been exploited. Which it should, since it can be a fundamental tool to achieve sustainability. The objective of this contribution is to test whether companies with a CSR committee not only leads to higher economic scores, but also to higher ESG (environmental, social, governance) scores. To do this, we used regression panel data models in 197 listed firms in Spain, France, Germany, and the UK during the period 2005–2015 including the perspective of European organizations and completing the extant studies in US-based samples. Our results showed that 90% of companies in the sample had a CSR committee in 2014, and that those companies had significantly different ESG scores than those without a CSR committee. Having a CSR committee also triggered better non-financial performance when considering the four scores and the four countries independently (except for the economic scores in Spain). These results have great implications for practitioners, reflecting the importance of promoting these tools in an organization to enhance non-financial performance and sustainability.
Adaptation and Validation of the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (MWQ) in Physical Education Classes and Analysis of Its Role as Mediator between Teacher and Anxiety

Published: September 2019

Physical education (PE) classes are one of the primary means of adopting healthy lifestyles and contribute greatly to personal well-being. However, it is necessary that students pay attention and do not enter a mind-wandering state as this can be negative for the purposes of PE classes. Therefore, we adapted and validated the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (MWQ) to the Spanish PE context and analyzed the influence of the teacher on this new variable. Two independent samples of high school students between the ages of 13 and 19 participated in the study. In order to assess the psychometric properties of the MWQ, various analyses were carried out. The results of the confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) provided support for the structure of the questionnaire. The structure of the model was gender-invariant. The Cronbach alpha value was higher than 0.70 and showed an adequate level of temporal stability. In addition, we present a second study in which high school students between the ages of 13 and 19 participated, and which are independent of the first study. The analyses in this study were mainly based on structural equation modelling, and demonstrated the teacher’s influence on mind-wandering and showed that mind-wandering acted as a predictor of anxiety in high school students. The results of this study provided evidence of the reliability and validity of the MWQ in the Spanish PE context.

Published: September 2019

As water security becomes an increasingly important issue, the analysis of the conflict between water supply and demand has gained significance in China. This paper details a bibliometric review of papers published between 2003 and 2018 on the water footprint in China, one of the global hotspots of water resource research. The tendencies and key points of water footprint research were systematically analyzed based on 1564 articles, comprising 1170 original publications in Chinese from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database and 394 publications in English from the Web of Science database. The results show that the literature associated with water footprint research has expanded significantly. The number of papers published increased from 104 in 2003–2006 to 735 in 2015–2018. Water footprint research has been applied to agricultural, industrial, and regional water resource management to quantify the impact of human activities on water resources and the environment. Water footprint metrics were extracted for regional comparisons. There are obvious regional characteristics of the water footprint in China, but the uncertainty of results makes further investigation necessary. Further water footprint modeling and field experimental research is needed to explore the water–ecological environment under complex systems.
How Does Regional Innovation Capacity Affect the Green Growth Performance? Empirical Evidence from China
Authors: Hu Sumin , Liu Shulin , Li Die , Lin Yuxuan
Published: September 2019

Behind the high development of technology, backward institution systems and imperfect incentive mechanisms are not conducive to the green transformation of the economic society in China. Meanwhile, the relative effectiveness of both technical and institution innovation in encouraging green growth has yet to be tested empirically in China. It is of great practical significance to assess the effect of regional innovation capacity (RIC) on the green growth performance. This paper firstly exploits a model to measure regional innovation capacity from the perspective of technological and institutional respect. The panel data of 30 provinces in China during 2008–2017 is then used to examine the coordination effect of technological and institutional instruments on green growth performance. The empirical results demonstrate the following: (i) regional innovation capacity significantly affects the green growth performance of 30 provinces in China, showing regional differences. The elasticity of RIC on the green total factor efficiency in the eastern region is larger at approximately 0.48, followed by central and western areas, at about 0.47 and 0.45, respectively; (ii) technological innovation is able to incentivize green growth performance for all regions in China, while the institutional innovation induces green growth in the eastern region only; (iii) the coordination of technical and institutional instruments has a significant effect on green growth performance, positive in the eastern region and negative in central region respectively.

Published: September 2019

Public reason is a formal concept in political theory. There is a need to better understand how public reason might be elicited in making public decisions that involve deep uncertainty, which arises from pernicious and gross ignorance about how a system works, the boundaries of a system, and the relative value (or disvalue) of various possible outcomes. This article is the third in a series to demonstrate how ethical argument analysis—a qualitative decision-making aid—may be used to elicit public reason in the presence of deep uncertainty. The first article demonstrated how argument analysis is capable of probing deep into a single argument. The second article demonstrated how argument analysis can analyze a broad set of arguments and how argument analysis can be operationalized for use as a decision-making aid. This article demonstrates (i) the relevance of argument analysis to public reasoning, (ii) the relevance of argument analysis for decision-making under deep uncertainty, an emerging direction in decision theory, and (iii) how deep uncertainty can arise when the boundary between facts and values is inescapably entangled. This article and the previous two make these demonstrations using, as an example, the conservation and sustainable use of lions.
Carbon Dioxide Emissions during Air, Ground, or Groundwater Heat Pump Performance in Białystok
Authors: Gajewski Andrzej , Gładyszewska-Fiedoruk Katarzyna , Krawczyk Dorota Anna
Published: September 2019

The increasing global temperature has induced many states to limit carbon dioxide emissions. The European Union (EU) promotes replacing boilers with heat pumps. However, in countries where electricity is mainly supplied through fossil fuel combustion, condensing gas boilers may prove to be more ecological heat generators. Although this problem was investigated in a particular situation, an algorithm can be applied elsewhere. The running expenditures for the following different heat generators that are available in a location were estimated: water heat pump, brine heat pump, air heat pump, condensing gas boiler, condensing oil boiler, district heat network, and electrical grid. Furthermore, carbon dioxide emissions from local and distant sources were evaluated. The computations were based on hourly averaged external temperature measurements, which were performed by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management—National Research Institute (IMGW-PIB) in a weather station in Białystok (Poland) for a ten-year period. Compared with a condensing gas boiler system, the air-to-water heat pump has higher operating costs and higher CO2 emissions. The brine heat pump (closed-loop ground-source heat pump) has lower operating costs, but higher CO2 emissions than the gas boiler system. The water heat pump (groundwater source heat pump) has the lowest operating costs and CO2 emissions of all the systems studied in this paper.

Published: September 2019

How a host metabolism responds to infection with insect viruses and how it relates to pathogenesis, is little investigated. Our previous study observed that Cricket paralysis virus (CrPV, Dicistroviridae) causes short term persistence in silkworm Bm5 cells before proceeding to acute infection. In this study, a metabolomics approach based on high resolution mass spectrometry was applied to investigate how a host metabolism is altered during the course of CrPV infection in Bm5 cells and which changes are characteristic for the transition from persistence to pathogenicity. We observed that CrPV infection led to significant and stage-specific metabolic changes in Bm5 cells. Differential metabolites abundance and pathway analysis further identified specific metabolic features at different stages in the viral life cycle. Notably, both glucose and glutamine levels significantly increased during CrPV persistent infection followed by a steep decrease during the pathogenic stages, suggesting that the central carbon metabolism was significantly modified during CrPV infection in Bm5 cells. In addition, dynamic changes in levels of polyamines were detected. Taken together, this study characterized for the first time the metabolic dynamics of CrPV infection in insect cells, proposing a central role for the regulation of both amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism during the period of persistent infection of CrPV in Bm5 cells.

Published: September 2019

Development of new vaccine platforms against viral diseases is considered urgent. In recent years, mRNA constructs have attracted great interest in this field due to unique advantages over conventional gene transfer platforms. In the present study, we developed a new naked conventional mRNA vaccine expressing the non-optimized small (S) segment of the Ank-2 strain of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus (CCHFV). We then analyzed its single and booster dose immunogenicity and protection potential in the challenge assay in two mice models, including IFNα/β/γR−/− and C57BL/6. The results obtained from the immunological assays, namely IL-4 and IFN-gamma ELISPOT, intracellular IFN-gamma staining, in-house sandwich ELISA, and survival data, demonstrated that our construct elicited the production of anti-nucleocapsid (N) specific immune responses in both mice models. A 100% protection rate was only obtained in the booster dose group of IFNα/β/γR−/− mice, indicating that this platform needs further optimization in future studies. In conclusion, we assessed a novel approach in CCHFV vaccination by introducing a conventional mRNA platform which can be considered in future experiments as an efficient and safe way to battle this disease.

Sperm of humans, non-human primates, and other mammalian subjects is considered to be antigenic. The effect of changes in autoimmunity on reproductive cells such as spermatozoa and oocytes play a critical but indistinct role in fertility. Antisperm antibodies (ASAs) are invariably present in both females and males. However, the degree of ASA occurrence may vary according to individual and gender. Although the extent of infertility due to ASAs alone is yet to be determined, it has been found in almost 9–12% of patients who are infertile due to different causes. Postcoital presence of spermatozoa in the reproductive tract of women is not a contributory factor in ASA generation. However, ASA generation may be induced by trauma to the vaginal mucosa, or by anal or oral sex resulting in the deposition of sperm inside the digestive tract. It is strongly believed that, in humans and other species, at least some antibodies may bind to sperm antigens, causing infertility. This form of infertility is termed as immunological infertility, which may be accompanied by impairment of fertility, even in individuals with normozoospermia. Researchers target ASAs for two major reasons: (i) to elucidate the association between ASAs and infertility, the reason ASAs causes infertility, and the mechanism underlying ASA-mediated infertility; and (ii) to assess the potential of ASAs as a contraceptive in humans in case ASAs influences infertility. Therefore, this review explores the potential application of ASAs in the development of anti-spermatozoa vaccines for contraceptive purposes. The usefulness of ASAs for diagnosing obstructive azoospermia, salpingitis, and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia has been reviewed extensively. Important patents pertaining to potential candidates for spermatozoa-derived vaccines that may be utilized as contraceptives are discussed in depth. Antifertility vaccines, as well as treatments for ASA-related infertility, are also highlighted. This review will address many unresolved issues regarding mechanisms involving ASAs in the diagnosis, as well as prognoses, of male infertility. More documented scientific reports are cited to support the mechanisms underlying the potential role of ASA in infertility. The usefulness of sperm antigens or ASAs (recombinant) in human and wild or captive animal contraceptive vaccines has been revealed through research but is yet to be validated via clinical testing.
An Adaptive Homeostatic Algorithm for the Unsupervised Learning of Visual Features
Authors: Perrinet Laurent U.
Published: September 2019

The formation of structure in the visual system, that is, of the connections between cells within neural populations, is by and large an unsupervised learning process. In the primary visual cortex of mammals, for example, one can observe during development the formation of cells selective to localized, oriented features, which results in the development of a representation in area V1 of images’ edges. This can be modeled using a sparse Hebbian learning algorithms which alternate a coding step to encode the information with a learning step to find the proper encoder. A major difficulty of such algorithms is the joint problem of finding a good representation while knowing immature encoders, and to learn good encoders with a nonoptimal representation. To solve this problem, this work introduces a new regulation process between learning and coding which is motivated by the homeostasis processes observed in biology. Such an optimal homeostasis rule is implemented by including an adaptation mechanism based on nonlinear functions that balance the antagonistic processes that occur at the coding and learning time scales. It is compatible with a neuromimetic architecture and allows for a more efficient emergence of localized filters sensitive to orientation. In addition, this homeostasis rule is simplified by implementing a simple heuristic on the probability of activation of neurons. Compared to the optimal homeostasis rule, numerical simulations show that this heuristic allows to implement a faster unsupervised learning algorithm while retaining much of its effectiveness. These results demonstrate the potential application of such a strategy in machine learning and this is illustrated by showing the effect of homeostasis in the emergence of edge-like filters for a convolutional neural network.
Multi-Level Deceleration Planning Based on Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for Autonomous Regenerative Braking of EV
Authors: Min Kyunghan , Sim Gyubin , Ahn Seongju , Park Inseok , Yoo Seungjae , Youn Jeamyoung
Published: September 2019

A smart regenerative braking system, which is an advanced driver assistance system of electric vehicles, automatically controls the regeneration torque of the electric motor to brake the vehicle by recognizing the deceleration conditions. Thus, this autonomous braking system can provide driver convenience and energy efficiency by suppressing the frequent braking of the driver brake pedaling. In order to apply this assistance system, a deceleration planning algorithm should guarantee the safety deceleration under diverse driving situations. Furthermore, the planning algorithm suppresses a sense of heterogeneity by autonomous braking. To ensuring these requirements for deceleration planning, this study proposes a multi-level deceleration planning algorithm which consists of the two representative planning algorithms and one planning management. Two planning algorithms, which are the driver model-based planning and optimization-based planning, generate the deceleration profiles. Then, the planning management determines the optimal planning result among the deceleration profiles. To obtain an optimal result, planning management is updated based on the reinforcement learning algorithm. The proposed algorithm was learned and validated under a simulation environment using the real vehicle experimental data. As a result, the algorithm determines the optimal deceleration vehicle trajectory to autonomous regenerative braking.
THE CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW
Authors: Paré Mona
Published: September 2019

This article examines the impact that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has had on international human rights law. While it seems that the convention may have a narrow focus, as it focuses on a specific group of people, this paper argues that it has had an impact on international human rights law more generally. This impact started with the negotiation of the convention between 2002 and 2006, and is continuing with its implementation since its entry into force in 2008. The impact is of both procedural and substantive nature. On the one hand, the procedure that led to the development and adoption of the CRPD was innovative, as are the mechanisms that have been put into place to monitor its implementation. On the other hand, the convention introduces and develops concepts in a novel way in international law, such as new ways of considering the concept of equality, and to understand development, for example. The article concludes that the international community should capitalize on the new approaches, and that their application and interpretation should be closely monitored.
LOS DERECHOS DE LA NATURALEZA EN LA CONSTITUCIÓN ECUATORIANA DEL 2008: ALCANCE, FUNDAMENTOS Y RELACIÓN CON LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS
Authors: Campaña Farith Simon
Published: September 2019

El otorgamiento de derechos a la naturaleza (“la pachamama”) en la Constitución ecuatoriana del 2008 se ha presentado como una innovación trascendental en el mundo jurídico para la protección del planeta Tierra. Esta se explica como una confluencia de cosmovisiones distintas (la comprensión indígena sobre la naturaleza y la teoría occidental de la Gaia de James Lovelock) que  dio paso a una comprensión de la relación ser humano-naturaleza, dejando atrás un antropocentrismo reflejo claro de la modernidad y ha dado paso al biocentrismo. Este trabajo explora las justificaciones que se han dado para ese reconocimiento, particularmente aquellas que aseguran que la cosmovisión indígena es la que llevó a esta declaración constitucional; la forma en que la jurisprudencia constitucional ecuatoriana ha tratado el tema y lasposibles relaciones que se dan con los derechos humanos.

Razvoj štovanja sv. Josipa u Crkvo od otačkog razdoblja do Drugog vatikanskog sabora
Authors: Patafta Daniel
Published: September 2019

Među tradicionalnim katoličkim pobožnostima važno mjesto zauzima štovanje sv. Josipa. Ovo štovanje počelo je zamirati nakon Drugoga vatikanskog sabor zbog krize teologije i pučke pobožnosti, da bi u novije vrijeme počelo doživljavati svoju polaganu obnovu. U ovom radu nastoji se dati kroz izabrane tekstove iz otačkog razdoblja, kojih je vrlo malo, preko skolastičke teološke refleksije do papinskih dokumenata razvoj teološkog promišljanja i štovanja sv. Josipa od razdoblja ranog kršćanstva, odnosno otačkog razdoblja do Drugoga vatikanskog sabora. Rad prati ovaj razvoj kroz dva velika razdoblja, to je prvo razdoblje teoloških refleksija kod crkvenih otaca, napose sv. Augustina i vremena srednjeg vijeka, kad u visokoj skolastici započinje sustavno teološko promišljanje o sv. Josipu, gdje je temelje postavio sv. Toma Akvinski, a širenju pobožnosti pridonio sv. Bernardin Sijenski. Drugo je razdoblje vrijeme od početka katoličke obnove do Drugoga vatikanskog sabora, kada teološka misao pada u drugi plan, a u središte dolazi pobožnost i ističe se uloga sv. Josipa kao zaštitnika Crkve pred snažnim promjenama s kojima se Crkva suočavala u 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća. Teološka misao ovoga razdoblja temelji se na razvijanju skolastičkih zasada, često bez kritičkog pristupa i pod snažnim utjecajem pučke pobožnosti. Dominantnu ulogu u promicanju štovanja sv. Josipa u 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća preuzimaju pape koji u širenju štovanja sv. Josipa vide važnu duhovnu i pobožnu praksu kojom se vjernici potiču da se utječu sv. Josipu svojim molitvama kako bi zaštitio Crkvu. Umjesto zaključka doneseno je jedno promišljanje koje može biti poticaj za novu obnovu štovanja sv. Josipa u novim okolnostima u odnosu prema potrebama suvremenog društva i Crkve, a da se ne izgubi zdravi duh i velika vrijednost svetačkog lika sv. Josipa koja je stoljećima nadahnjivala katoličku duhovnost i pobožnost sa snažnom eklezijalnom dimenzijom.

A brucelose é uma importante enfermidade na pecuária nacional. Dentre os agentes causadores desta enfermidade, destaca-se a espécie Brucella abortus. Sendo assim, objetivou- se com este estudo a realização de inquérito sorológico para diagnosticar a sorprevalência de anticorpos anti- Brucella abortus em ovinos da região médio-norte do estado de Mato Grosso, pela detecção de anticorpos anti-Brucella abortus em 255 ovinos, pela técnica do Antígeno Acidificado Tamponado. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, foi verificada frequência de 3,53% ovinos sororreagentes, sendo 3,72% nas fêmeas e 2,5% nos machos. Esta pesquisa revelou elevada ocorrência de anticorpos anti-Brucella abortus em ovinos no Estado do Mato Grosso. Diante disso, o sucesso do Programa Nacional de Controle e Erradicação da Brucelose (PNCEBT) no estado pode ser prejudicado, uma vez que é comum a criação consorciada de pequenos ruminantes e bovinos nessa região, além do considerável risco à Saúde Pública.
Mediation in non-payment of a contract for loan mortgage in Catalonia
Authors: Viola Demestre Isabel
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the institutionalization that mediation has followed in a specific context, such as consumer law, and, in particular, in the conflicts generated as a result of the non-payment of the mortgage loans or credits, with the analysis of the European Union, Spanish and autonomy of Catalonia regulations. Furthermore, the institutionalized mediation process is studied in the consumption norms of Catalonia about the protection of the right to housing of people at risk of residential exclusion, because they substantially alter two fundamental principles (voluntariety and impartiality and neutrality) that usually identify this concrete mechanism of conflict management, questioning whether such a process can continue to be called “mediation”.
Conciencia lingüística en la construcción de discursos multilingües: la intercomprensión espontánea en portuñol
Authors: Matesanz del Barrio María
Published: September 2019

La producción de discursos multilingües es muy baja en relación a la generación de discursos monolingües, máxime si se tiene en cuenta la configuración multilingüe de nuestras sociedades. Los hablantes tienden a conformar discursos monolingües no solamente cuando se comunican en su lengua materna (L1), lo que es evidente, sino cuando la comunicación se realiza en una segunda lengua (L2). Localizar en la red producciones orales y escritas multilingües no resulta tarea fácil. La preferencia por la comunicación monolingüe en segundas lenguas responde a diversos factores, entre los que destacan la eficiencia comunicativa y el prestigio de la comunicación monolingüe, aspecto este último de gran influencia sobre los hablantes. En situaciones comunicativas formales en L2 no hay duda de que el discurso que domina es monolingüe. También en las comunicaciones no formales, pero en entornos naturales se observa una mayor libertad en la elección discursiva y la conciencia lingüística de los hablantes influye positivamente en la generación de discursos multilingües. Nos acercamos a esta cuestión desde la perspectiva de la intercomprensión espontánea en español y portugués partiendo de un corpus de estudio en el que se han registrado producciones orales y escritas de intercomprensión espontánea. Su análisis nos ha permitido observar una conciencia lingüística favorable a la interacción en distintas lenguas, lo que entrada de forma natural al discurso multilingüe.
