Authors: Franco Eduardo , Lozano Cristina , Matía Roberto , Hernandez-Madrid Antonio , Sánchez Inmaculada , Zamorano Jose , Moreno Javier
Published: January 2021

Introduction. Unstable reentrant atrial tachycardias (ATs) (i.e. those
with frequent circuit modification or conversion to atrial fibrillation)
are challenging to ablate. We have tested a strategy to achieve
arrhythmia stabilization into mappable stable ATs based on the detection
and ablation of rotors. Methods and Results. From May 2017 to December
2019, 97 consecutive patients with reentrant ATs were ablated. Of these,
18 (18.6%) presented unstable circuits and were included. Mapping was
performed using conventional high-density mapping catheters (IntellaMap
ORION, PentaRay NAV or Advisor HD Grid). Rotors were subjectively
identified as fractionated continuous (or quasi-continuous) electrograms
on 1-2 adjacent bipoles of the mapping catheter, without dedicated
software. 13 patients (72%) had detectable rotors (median 2 [1–3]
rotors per patient); focal ablation achieved conversion into stable AT
or sinus rhythm in 12 (92%). In the other 6 patients, sites with
spatiotemporal dispersion (i.e. all the cycle length comprised within
the mapping catheter) plus non-continuous fractionation on single
bipoles were targeted. 17 sites with spatiotemporal dispersion were
detected and focally ablated. Globally, and excluding 1 patient with
spontaneous AT stabilization, ablation success to stabilize the AT was
achieved in 16/17 patients (94.1%). One-year freedom from atrial
arrhythmias was similar between patients with unstable and stable ATs
(66.7% Vs 65.8%, p=0.946). Conclusion. Most unstable reentrant ATs
show detectable rotors, identified as sites with single-bipole
fractionated quasi-continuous signals, or spatiotemporal dispersion plus
non-continuous fractionation. Ablation of these sites is highly
effective to stabilize the AT or convert it into sinus rhythm.

Published: January 2021

Purpose To evaluate the effect of risk factors and selected surgical
methods on operative and oncological results of patients undergoing
radical prostatectomy (RP) with high-risk prostate cancer (HRPC).
Methods Retrospective analysis of patients, who underwent RP for HRPC
from 13 urology centers between 1990 to 2019, was performed. Groups were
created according to the risk factors of D’Amico classification.
Patients with one risk factor were included in group 1 where group 2
consisted of patients with two or three risk factors. Results A total of
1519 patients were included in this study and 1073 (70.6%) patients
assigned to group 1 and 446 (29.4%) patients to group 2. Overall
(biochemical and/or clinical and/or radiological) progression rate was
12.4% in group 1 and 26.5% in group 2 (p =0.001). Surgical procedure
was open RP in 844 (55.6%) patients and minimally invasive RP in 675
(44.4%) patients (laparoscopic and robot-assisted RP in 230 (15.1%)
and 445 (29.3%) patients, respectively). Progression rates were similar
in different types of operations (p=0.22). Progression rate was not
significantly different in patients who either underwent pelvic lymph
node dissection (PLND) or not in each respective group. Conclusion RP
alone is an effective treatment in the majority of patients with HRPC
and PLND did not affect the progression rates after RP. According to the
number of preoperative high-risk features, as the number of risk factors
increases, there is a need for additional treatment.

Published: January 2021

Background In order to address the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems
have used all their resources, including health care workers in
training. Knowing the insights of these workers is of the utmost
importance to generate adequate educative/political /administrative
strategies. Methods An anonymous cross-sectional online survey was made
by the General Directorate of Quality and Health Education in Mexico, in
a convenience sample of 6,020 participants who belong to personnel in
training for the health area, which included practitioners and
professional technologists, undergraduate doctors, nursing, and
residents in several specialties. Results Different positive and
negative feelings were identified by the health workers who participated
in facing this health emergency; emphasizing elements such as the need
for Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) that, when deficient or lacking,
generate concerns that raise questions about the medical/epidemiological
attention to the pandemic. Based on an analysis of feelings, 8 main
feelings were identified, which by frequency of appearing were:
distrust(24.83%), fear(21.97%), sadness(12.45%),
anticipation(11.65%), anger(10.71%), disgust(9.69%), joy(4.97%) and
surprise(3.72%) which influence health workers in training and their
wrok performance day to day. Concerning their positive and negative
evaluation of their experience facing this health emergency, 13.83% of
participants had a positive perception about participating in this kind
of health emergency to support the country, 49.94% showed a negative
evaluation, and 36.23% kept a neutral evaluation about their
participation. Conclusions The health workers in training in Mexico gave
a negative evaluation of the management of the health emergency.
Distrust as a response to the absence of timely information from the
education/health institutions, as well as concern about lack of personal
protection equipment/inputs, are the main conflicts reported. We must
establish a credible globally relevant continuity plan for the education
of health care personnel in training, facing emergencies and disasters,
so that next time we are properly prepared.

Effects of climatic warming on spring phenology in subtropical trees: process-based modelling with experiments designed for model development
Authors: Zhang Rui , Lin Jianhong , Wang Fucheng , Hanninen Heikki , Wu Jiasheng
Published: January 2021

We developed process-based tree phenology models for four subtropical
tree species, and for the first time for these trees, we based the model
development on explicit experimental work particularly designed to
address the processes being modelled. For all the four species, a model
of seedling leafout was developed, and for Torreya grandis, a
model for female flowering in adult trees was additionally developed.
The models generally showed reasonable accuracy when tested against two
sources of independent data. In scenario simulations, the models
projected an advanced spring phenology under climatic warming for 2020
– 2100. For the leafout of seedlings, the advancing rates varied
between 4.7 and 5.9 days per one C warming, with no
major differences found between the climatic scenarios RCP4.5 and
RCP8.5. For Torreya flowering, less advancing was projected, and
the projected advancing per one C warming was less
for RCP8.5 (0.9 days / C) than for RCP4.5 (2.3 days /
C). The low advancing rates of Torreya
flowering were caused by reduced chilling under the warming climate and
by the particular temperature responses found for Torreya
flowering. These findings highlight the need to base the model
development on explicit experiments particularly designed to address the
process modelled.

Authors: Bretschneider Lisa , Heuschkel Ingeborg , Ahmed Afaq , Bühler Katja , Karande Rohan , Bühler Bruno
Published: January 2021

Cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO), a member of the Baeyer-Villiger
monooxygenase family, is a versatile biocatalyst that efficiently
catalyzes the conversion of cyclic ketones to lactones. In this study,
an Acidovorax-derived CHMO gene was expressed in
Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120. Upon purification, the enzyme was
characterized in vitro and shown to feature a broad substrate
spectrum and up to 100% conversion in 6 h. Further, we determined and
compared the cyclohexanone conversion kinetics for different
CHMO-biocatalyst formats, i.e., isolated enzyme, suspended whole cells,
and biofilms, the latter two based on recombinant CHMO-containing
P. taiwanensis VLB120. Biofilms showed less favorable values for
K (9.3-fold higher) and k (4.8-fold
lower) compared to corresponding K and
k values of isolated CHMO, but a favorable
K for cyclohexanone (5.3-fold higher). The unfavorable
K and k values are related to mass
transfer- and possibly heterogeneity issues and deserve further
investigation and engineering, in order to exploit the high potential of
biofilms regarding process stability. Suspended cells showed an only
1.8-fold higher K, but 1.3- and 4.2-fold higher
k and K values than isolated CHMO.
This together with the efficient NADPH regeneration via glucose
metabolism makes this format highly promising from a kinetics
perspective.

A modified niche model for generating food webs with stage-structured consumers: The stabilizing effects of life-history stages on complex food webs
Authors: Nonaka Etsuko , Kuparinen Anna
Published: January 2021

1. Almost all organisms grow in size during their lifetime and switch
diets, trophic positions, and interacting partners as they grow. Such
ontogenetic development introduces life-history stages and flows of
biomass between the stages through growth and reproduction. However,
current research on complex food webs rarely considers life-history
stages. The few previously proposed methods do not take full advantage
of the existing food web structural models that can produce realistic
food web topologies. 2. We extended the niche model by Williams &
Martinez (2000) to generate food webs that included trophic species with
a life-history stage structure. Our method aggregated trophic species
based on niche overlap to form a life-history structured population;
therefore, it largely preserved the topological structure of food webs
generated by the niche model. We applied the theory of allometric
predator-prey body mass ratio and parameterized an allometric
bioenergetic model augmented with biomass flow between stages via growth
and reproduction to study the effects of a stage structure on the
stability of food webs. 3. When life-history stages were linked via
growth and reproduction, fewer food webs persisted while persisting food
webs tended to retain more trophic species. Topological differences
between persisting linked and unlinked food webs were small to modest.
Temporal variability of biomass dynamics and slopes of biomass spectra
were lower in the linked food webs than the unlinked ones, suggesting
that a life-history stage structure enhanced stability of complex food
webs. 4. Our results suggest a positive relationship between the
complexity and stability of complex food webs. A life-history stage
structure in food webs may play important roles in dynamics of and
diversity in food webs.
Iterated Local Search with Partition Crossover for Computational Protein Design
Authors: Beuvin François , Givry Simon de , Schiex Thomas , Verel Sébastien , Simoncini David
Published: January 2021

Structure-based computational protein design (CPD) refers to the problem
of finding a sequence of amino acids which folds into a specific desired
protein structure, and possibly fulfills some targeted biochemical
properties. Recent studies point out the particularly rugged CPD energy
landscape, suggesting that local search optimization methods should be
designed and tuned to easily escape local minima attraction basins. In
this paper, we analyze the performance and search dynamics of an
iterated local search (ILS) algorithm enhanced with partition crossover.
Our algorithm, PILS, quickly finds local minima and escapes their basins
of attraction by solution perturbation. Additionally, the partition
crossover operator exploits the structure of the residue interaction
graph in order to efficiently mix solutions and find new unexplored
basins. Our results on a benchmark of 30 proteins of various topology
and size show that PILS consistently finds lower energy solutions
compared to Rosetta fixbb and a classic ILS, and that the corresponding
sequences are mostly closer to the native.

Published: January 2021

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare disease characterized by the
partial elevation of the aortic root. Few reports are available on the
surgical treatment for infants. We report the repair of an extremely
rare case of a sinus of Valsalva defect with a ventricular septal defect
and right ventricular outflow tract stenosis in an infant. It was not a
sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, but it exhibited abnormal partial bulging of
the aortic root and forming an aneurysm-like cavity within the right
ventricular myocardium. We performed direct closure of the sinus of
Valsalva aneurysm-like cavities and intracardiac repair in two stages.
Three years after total repair, the patient remained healthy and
asymptomatic.

Published: January 2021

Abstract Objectives: There is no study in the literature that patients
with clinically-proven PET were evaluated by Valsalva CT. We aimed to
evaluate the merit of Valsalva computed tomography (CT) in patients who
had clinically-proven patulous Eustachian tube (PET). Design:
Case-series Setting and participants: We recruited patients with
clinically-proven PET. Participants: Main outcome measures: All
participants underwent temporal bone CTs while they were performing the
Valsalva maneuver in the supine position. Standard axial plane CT
images, along with multiplanar reconstruction and 3D Air volume
rendering, were used to visualize the ET in its entirety. Results: Three
patients (2 females, one male) with a total of 6 ears were included in
the study. All patients had suggestive symptoms of PET, including aural
fullness, aerophony, and autophony and underwent clinical examination
and audiologic tests. In all ears, the whole Eustachian tube could be
visualized with Valsalva CT. Conclusion: For the first time, we
demonstrated the merit of Valsalva CT in visualization of the Eustachian
tube in its entirety in patients with clinically diagnosed PET.

Authors: Gucu Arif , Ozluk Ozlem Arican , Sunbul Sadik Ahmet , Kahraman Nail , Demir Deniz , Seker Ibrahim Burak , Sunbul Ayse
Published: January 2021

Background: The nutritional status of the patient is an important
parameter in patients undergoing surgery. This study aims to determine
of prognostic nutritional index value that predicts hospital mortality
and morbidity in on-pump cardiac surgery. Methods: In this study, we
scanned the medical data of 1003 patients who underwent on-pump cardiac
surgery. Patients’ divided into two groups according to in-hospital
mortality. 934 patients without in-hospital mortality were defined as
Group I, and 69 patients who died in the hospital were defined as Group
II. Their preoperative nutritional status was determined using the
prognostic nutritional index classification. Results: In our series, age
is statistically higher in Group II rather than Group I (62.5 ± 0.3 vs.
67.4 ± 1.2; p=0.001). There was a significantly different a higher
tendency of hospital-acquired infection in Group II (151; 16.2% vs. 44;
63.8%; p=0.001). Postoperative stroke significantly higher in Group II
(35; 3.7% vs. 62; 89.9%; p=0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that
cross clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, intraaortic balloon pump
usage and intensive care unit stay significantly higher in Group II
(p<0.05, respectively). The prognostic nutritional index value
was found statistically low in Group II (48.34 ± 6.71 vs. 44.76 ± 7.63;
p=0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender, age, and the
prognostic nutritional index were independently associated with
postoperative survival. Conclusion: In on-pump cardiac surgery,
postoperative mortality and morbidity are significantly associated with
preoperative low prognostic nutritional index, and the prognostic
nutritional index can be a useful and suitable parameter for
preoperative risk evaluation.
The Eigenspace Spectral Regularization Method for solving Discrete Ill-Posed Systems
Authors: BARNES BENEDICT , WIREKO FREDRICK , Sebil; Charles , Ackora-Prah Joseph
Published: January 2021

In this paper, it is shown that discrete equations with Hilb ert matrix
operator, circulant matrix operator, conference matrix operator, banded
matrix operator, and sparse matrix operator are ill-posed in the sense
of Hadamard. These ill-posed problems cannot be regularized by Gauss
Least Square Method (GLSM), QR Factorization Method (QRFM), Cholesky
Decomposition Method (CDM) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVDM). To
overcome the limitations of these methods of regularization, an
Eigenspace Spectral Regularization Method (ESRM) is introduced which
solves ill-p os ed discrete equations with Hilb ert matrix operator,
circulant matrix operator, conference matrix operator, banded matrix
operator, and sparse matrix operator. Unlike GLSM, QRFM, CDM, and SVDM,
the ESRM regularize such a system. In addition, the ESRM has a unique
property, the norm of the eigenspace spectral matrix operator κ (K) =
||K − 1K|| = 1. Thus, the condition
number of ESRM is bounded by unity unlike the other regularization
methods such as SVDM, GLSM, CDM, and QRFM.

В данной работе предлагается на рассмотрение метод психотерапевтической гидрореабилитации больных с ограниченными возможностями здоровья (ОВЗ) и инвалидов больных рассеянным склерозом. Концепция рассмотрена примере сценария реабилитации, который в динамике выглядит следующим образом:

• мотивация уверенности в своих силах и возможностях;

• мотивация на ремиссию с текстом, где ведущая роль отводится пребыванию в воде - уводящей пациента в мир где он легко управляет своим телом;

• обучение плаванию сертифицированными инструкторами и тренерами для работы с людьми ОВЗ;

• понимание пациентом того факта, его фантазии могут быть реализованы в реальности; например – пациентка первой группы инвалидности по рассеянному склерозу, ранее занимавшаяся бальными танцами – могла потанцевать в воде; больной рассеянным склерозом первой группы инвалидности – научился плавать; пациент с черепно-мозговой травмой стал передвигаться без страха и напряжения в реальных условиях – ставшей значительно более доступной – среды.
La investigación post-disciplinaria como alternativa en comunicación
Authors: Fuentes Navarro Raúl
Published: January 2021

This paper takes up previous works by the author and reformulates them to argue that there are increasingly clear indications of the adoption of “post-disciplinary” modalities in the institutionalized practices of knowledge production on communication in various regions of the world. Faced with the growing epistemic fragmentation and dispersion of this academic field, and the evident transformations of the sociocultural practices that are its references and subject matters, post-disciplinary research may represent a useful alternative consistent with the very history of the university institutionalization of this specialty, in which contributions from the humanities and social sciences converge, with apparent independence from the different conditions of national higher education systems. Some of the more developed formulations of this perspective and their strategic implications for university practices in the field are analysed.

Una metainvestigación cualitativa para (re)construir el campo: objetivos, perspectivas teóricas y métodos para la investigación en comunicación
Authors: Gómez Diago Gloria
Published: January 2021

As long as communication, especially digital communication, is of interest for consolidated fields such as sociology or political sciences and for fields of more recent creation such as librarianship, the field of communication research functions as an amnesic sub-discipline without disciplinary ambition (Pooley, 2020). In order to contribute to intellectually (re) constructing a field that can be useful to society, we are providing a typology of objectives, theoretical perspectives and methods generated from a distillation of volume 2 of Rethinking Communication (1989), “Paradigm Exemplars”, a volume specialized in meta-research in communication and considered as a continuation of the special volume of the Journal of Communication, "Ferment in the Field", published in 1983 (Surlin, 1991). The conceptual and procedural devices brought and grouped into those aimed at studying relationships between people and those aimed at studying relationships between people and media, are useful in a moment in which human relationships and relationships between people and media continue articulating societies, making necessary to review and redefine the ways of approaching them to further the scope of communication research, limited for decades, fundamentally, to the analysis of media content (Cáceres and Caffarel, 1992; Martínez-Nicolás and Saperas, 2011, 2016; Anderson and Middelton, 2015) through a content analysis that Krippendorff (2017) recommends to leave.
Economía y financiación de medios en lenguas minoritarias celtas de Irlanda y Reino Unido: el modelo público como referencia
Authors: Zabaleta Urkiola Iñaki , Arriaga Azkarate Tania , Gorosarri González Maria , Xamardo González Nicolás
Published: January 2021

This article investigates the monolingual media in three Celtic minority language communities of the United Kingdom and Ireland, at the end of the economic crisis that began in 2008, from the perspective of the public interest media model, prevalent in the media systems of European minority language media. The main areas of study are the economic volume, the funding system and the qualitative evaluation of editors and media directors regarding the effect of the economic crisis and the importance of public aid. The three minority Celtic languages analyzed are Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic. The methodological design is based on the techniques of systematic quantitative comparison between communities and a qualitative approach.
La televisión como herramienta para la integración social: narraciones y experiencias de migrantes asiáticos en la ciudad de Mesina (Italia)
Authors: Olmos Alcaraz Antonia , Cava Gaetana
Published: January 2021

The paper analyses the use and consumption that a sample of Asian migrants living in Italy make of television, with the aim of knowing the potential of this media as a tool for social integration. For this, we have worked through a semi-structured interview, applied to 60 people from China, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, resident in the city of Messina. The results of the research indicate that the people participating in the study take advantage of certain contents and formats provided by television to reinforce language learning and knowledge of Italian society (essential elements within integration processes). We therefore conclude that television has the potential to be a good resource for social integration, without this obviating the need not to carry out simplistic and superficial analysis that ignore the multidimensional and multidirectional nature of the process of the integration.
Investigar participando / participar investigando. Relatos de una experiencia etnográfica
Authors: Isidro María Eugenia
Published: January 2021

Although ethnography is a widely used approach in Social Science research, in this work we reflect on the experience of having carried out an ethnographic work in a socio-territorial movement. Carrying out an ethnography in a socio-territorial movement generates tensions since participation is not only essential for research, but it is also an indispensable condition to be part of the movement. In this sense, we are dedicated to retracing the path of the investigation, describing in detail how the participant observation was carried out and the interviews were carried out. In addition to analyzing what were the potentialities of its use and we will delve into the tensions that had to be faced during the investigation process placing the accent on reflexivity as an essential tool of social research. Far from believing that objectivity is achieved from the distance with the actors studied, in this work we try to realize that even when involvement seems to be an obstacle in the investigation, this is very rich in ethnographic work if it is accompanied by deep reflective work.
Horror vacui como principio interpretativo del fenómeno contemporáneo de saturación con música de fondo
Authors: Guirao Piñera Antonio
Published: January 2021

We are experiencing a generalization of music in all contexts, including the commercial, social and labor, to the point that sound has invaded the public space. Music has a great communication capacity and effectiveness in generating emotions and attitudes. Thus, music has been used as a persuasion tool in advertising and as a formula to produce positive responses in individuals. However, its excessive presence suggests there is a current tendency or need to fill the entire space with sounds, with no space for silence. In this work, we present this phenomenon as a manifestation in modern societies of the "horror vacui", a Latin expression that means "fear of empty space", whose origin is in the philosophical paradigm that denied the emptiness in nature and was later applied in art history to describe ornate works, without gaps, like those of the Baroque. We propose this parallelism as a research method in musical communication.
“Ponencia de Política Científica para la AE-IC” de 2020: un balance y algunas propuestas de mejora
Authors: Marzal Felici Javier , García Galindo Juan Antonio
Published: January 2021

Below is the Scientific Policy Presentation, a document created by Javier Marzal Felici, Professor of Audiovisual Communication at the Jaume I University of Castellón, and by Juan Antonio García Galindo, Professor of Journalism at the University of Málaga. It was commissioned by the Presidency and Governing Board of the Spanish Association of Communication Research (AE-IC) and written between July and October 2020. This report acts as a summary while making proposals; that is to say, it is “executive”. On the one hand, it gives an overview of the situation for research in the field of communication in Spain, gathering numerous reflections given by several dozens of researchers and members of AE-IC. On the other, the Scientific Policy Presentation proposes to stimulate or even “provoke” internal debate within the heart of AE-IC at a time when it is clearly perceived that the sphere of communication sciences has reached a notable level of maturity. Finally, those presenting it are attempting to gather the main concerns of a large part of the scientific community in the field of communication sciences in order to build future consensuses that are as broad as possible by presenting sixteen recommendations on scientific policy.
Comunicación videoescénica: la enunciación audiovisual en el teatro
Authors: Montes Rodríguez Gustavo
Published: January 2021

This research analyzes the use of audiovisual technology in the context of the video-scenic drama, a hybrid product that results from the integration of audiovisual enunciation in theatrical representation. The purpose is to determine the modifications that the audiovisual projection introduces in the fundamental components of the drama and in its construction phases. Through the in-depth interview or scientific interview, data has been collected from ten experts in the field of theatrical creation. Once analyzed, exposes a specific poetic that rules the construction of the video-scenic drama, focused on a figurative expansion of the character's action and an expansion of space and time, based on the fragmentation and flexibility of the audiovisual image. Similarly, it has been shown that the use of audiovisuals broadens the elective possibilities of the stage director and forces to establish of new constructive strategies.
Los grupos de investigación consolidados en la praxeología de la Comunicación
Authors: Lozano Ascencio Carlos , Gaitán Moya Juan Antonio , Piñuel Raigada José Luis , Caffarel Serra Carmen
Published: January 2021

The praxeological approach serves to discover the dialectical relationships between the objective structures that condition human action (praxis) of, in this case, the scientific research processes, and the structured dispositions that are updated in academic debates. The MapCom Project drew up a cartographic repository of consolidated research groups in Spanish universities with undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Communication, as well as a census of researchers active in the Spanish university with degrees in Communication, surveyed them, and organized debate sessions in Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga in 2016 on communication research, which were the first university meetings held in this regard in Spain, applying the Phillips 66 technique. The main results detect the limitations faced by the praxeology of research in communication because there is a reciprocal exclusion between "Fostering the strength of research groups" and the "ANECA effect", said exclusion comes from confronting the policy of cooperation between groups with the policy of individualistic competitiveness and choosing between collective convergence in the production of knowledge or the individual fight for getting re-knowledge.
Design gráfico de livro para infância como forma de comunicação: quatro fases da produção brasileira
Authors: de Almeida Simone Cavalcante , de Campos Gisela Belluzzo
Published: January 2021

Este artigo propõe um breve painel de quatro fases de produção do design gráfico do livro para infância no Brasil. Explora estratégias formais, transformações culturais e mudanças tecnológicas que ampliam o potencial de comunicação dos livros a uma audiência massiva e urbana em crescente expansão. Partindo do estudo da argentina María del Valle Ledesma (2005) sobre a função de comunicação do design gráfico, os processos de concepção visual do design e da ilustração são relacionados à realidade ampla dos meios, aos sentidos de percepção e tipos de audiência das mensagens visuais. Os objetivos alcançados demonstram os graus de experimentação, contradição e heterogeneidade dessa produção.
Prácticas comunicativas periféricas en los medios de comunicación en España. El caso de La Poderío
Authors: Torres Martín José Luis , Castro Martínez Andrea
Published: January 2021

Within the framework of the new digital paradigm, a multitude of media have emerged that express communicational realities different from those institutionalised by conventional media groups. In Spain, alternative media proliferated after the crisis of 2008 and the transformation of the journalistic context, which is immersed in the digital economy. This work focuses on analysing La Poderío as a peripheral publication project with a gender perspective in the Spanish sphere, looking in depth at its trajectory and organisational structure, the strategies and communication channels it uses and its digital audience. It is a case study that has used in-depth interviews, web traffic analysis and the monitoring of metrics in social networks as tools. The results indicate that this is a project of non-mainstream journalistic cultural production with a gender perspective that values communication from the periphery and gives a voice to under-represented groups, helping to make alternative contexts of social and communicative interaction visible. However, with the intention of making proposals, elements have been detected that can facilitate its expansion and professionalization.

Published: January 2021

Homeownership becomes the dream of all households. It requires proper planning on the buyer's income and expenses. The different level of household expenditure often influences the allocation of money for house purchasing. Hence, various types of household expenditures have been studied to see how far they may affect the current income and homeownership. A mixed-method was adapted to completing the study. A study sample was obtained through the questionnaire survey among respondents residing within Klang Valley region. The analysis was conducted using the correlation technique. The results show that all categories of expenditure are significant and have a high impact on the status of homeownership.
