Authors: Patekar Mukesh , Gogia Ajay , Tiwari Akash , Kumar Lalit , Sharma Atul , Mallick Soumya Ranjan , Sharma Mehar Chand , Thulkar Sanjay , Gupta Ritu
Published: July 2018

Background: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is treated with short, intensive, noncross resistant multidrug chemotherapy regimens. The management of this aggressive lymphoma is a challenge in our resource-limited setting, and the published data from India is scarce. Aim: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical features and treatment outcomes in adult patients with BL treated with uniform chemotherapy, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, methotrexate, ifosfamide, etoposide, cytarabine (CODOX-M/IVAC) protocol (± Rituximab). Materials and Methods: The hospital records between 2011 and 2017 were reviewed to identify adult patients (age ≥18 years) who were treated with CODOX-M/IVAC protocol (± Rituximab). The demographic and clinical details, treatment, outcomes, and toxicity were recorded from the patient's prospectively maintained case records. Results: Eighteen patients were included in this study. The median age was 38 years with male:female ratio 3.5:1. The majority of patients were high risk (14/18). All patients had extranodal site of involvement. The treatment completion rate was 83.3%. The overall response rate = 77.8% including complete response rate = 66.7%. Five patients (27%) had progressive disease on therapy. The estimated 2-year overall survival and event-free survival were 73% and 68.4%, respectively. The most common toxicity was myelosuppression (grade v3/4 neutropenia = 88.8%, grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia = 77.7%, and grade 3/4 anemia = 66.6%), febrile neutropenia was seen in 66.6% cases. Most common nonhematological toxicity was mucositis (grd3/4 = 33.3%). No toxic death was seen. Conclusion: This one of the first retrospective analyses of treatment outcomes from India suggests that our patients are demographically and clinically similar to the western counterpart. The treatment completion rate is high despite significant toxicity. BL has a good outcome if treated adequately.
Pintar la arquitectura: una aventura extraordinaria en la vida y en la obra de Joaquín Vaquero Palacios
Authors: Egaña Casariego Francisco
Published: July 2018

Este artículo repasa las pinturas de tema arquitectónico del pintor y arquitecto Joaquín Vaquero Palacios (Oviedo, 1900- Madrid, 1998). En estos cuadros la arquitectura se halla presente no sólo en la temática, sino en la manera de afrontarlos a través de una especial valoración de las líneas, los planos y los volúmenes. Su dimensión de pintor se manifiesta en su sentido del color, la preocupación por la materia y su profundo lirismo. La circunstancia de su vida errante por tierras de Europa y América le permitió pintar arquitecturas muy diversas, desde las antiguas pirámides aztecas y mayas a los modernos rascacielos neoyorquinos. Por lo demás, estas pinturas le posibilitaron mantener el contacto con la arquitectura en aquellos momentos de su vida en los que los viajes y cambios de residencia le impidieron mantener abierto un estudio de arquitecto.
Max Bill, Arquitectura y Arte: Conexiones entre Escuela de Ulm y esculturas-pabellón
Authors: Álvarez-García Paula , López-Bahut Emma
Published: July 2018

Se establecen las relaciones entre las esculturas-pabellón (1968-97) y la Escuela de Ulm (1953), obras del polifacético artista y arquitecto Max Bill. Para ello se realiza un análisis gráfico de las mismas, estudiando el lugar, las circulaciones y la composición espacial. El hallazgo es la existencia de una relación en el modo de proyectar las diferentes disciplinas y la influencia de la arquitectura sobre la escultura en el caso de estos ejemplos. Por otro lado, se detecta una presencia abstracta en la obra de un defensor del arte concreto, que a priori rehúye del símbolo. También se hallan conceptos historicistas en un heredero de los principios modernos de la Bauhaus, fundamentos que actualiza creando la Escuela de Ulm.
Learning IS-A relations from specialized-domain texts with co-occurrence measures
Authors: Urena Pedro
Published: July 2018

Ontology  enrichment  is  a  classification  problem  in which  an  algorithm  categorizes  an  input conceptual unit  in the corresponding node  in a target ontology. Conceptual enrichment  is of great importance both to Knowledge Engineering and Natural Language Processing, because it helps maximize the efficacy of intelligent systems, making them more adaptable to scenarios where  information  is  produced  by  means  of  language.  Following  previous  research  on distributional  semantics,  this  paper  presents  a  case  study  of  ontology  enrichment  using  a feature-extraction  method  which  relies  on  collocational  information  from  corpora.  The  major advantage  of  this  method  is  that  it  can  help  locate  an  input  unit  within  its  corresponding superordinate node in a taxonomy using a relatively small number of lexical features. In order to  evaluate  the  proposed  framework,  this  paper  presents  an  experiment  consisting  of  the automatic classification of a chemical substance in a taxonomy of toxicology.
Intencionalidad para resolver contenidos y referencias anafóricas en el comentario escrito de un texto literario en bachillerato
Authors: Hernández Rodríguez Ernesti
Published: July 2018

This paper presents a descriptive characterization of intentionality of high school students’ performances, when trying to solve ambiguities in contents and intra and extratextual anaphoric referential relationships in their written comments of a literary text. Anaphora is the grammatical, referential and content interrelationship between a lexical element and another, known as antecedent. The students wrote their texts in class and in counseling sessions to promote reflexive and self-regulated textual decisions when modifying their writings. The compilation of texts involved the follow-up of the textual decisions to try to improve writing. The method of analysis contemplated criteria and expectations as textual categories for classification and interpretation. Results show that anaphora relationships involve grammar cohesion, contents and punctuation. The main difficulties were the incorporation and correction of information and the ambiguities in intra-textual anaphora. Intentionality was manifested in the regulation of performance and in the experimentation of compensatory strategies, when students couldn’t find solutions to certain difficulties.
Mean Platelet Volume as a Prognostic Indicator in Sickle Cell Anemia
Authors: Khandekar Aditya , Acharya Sourya , Shukla Samarth
Published: July 2018

Aim: To assess the use of mean platelet volume (MPV) as a prognostic indicator of sickle cell disease (SCD).

Materials and methods: Fifty sickle cell patients aged 18 to 60 years, attending the Medicine outpatient department (OPD) and sickle cell clinic, or admitted with an ongoing crisis, were chosen as the study group, and 50 healthy participants were chosen as controls. A pro forma detailing relevant clinical history was obtained, with emphasis on admissions. Then, a blood sample was collected and analyzed for various parameters.

Patients were classified into two categories:

• Category 1: Patients with <3 reported vaso-occlusive crises in the previous year, and

• Category 2: Patients with >3 reported vaso-occlusive crises in the previous year, or admitted to the medicine ward/intensive care unit (ICU), currently with an ongoing crises.

Results: Mean hemoglobin (Hb) values were found to be statistically lower in sickle cell patients compared with controls, while mean total leukocyte count (TLC) and mean neutrophil % values were higher in sickle cell patients. Mean platelet volume in category 2 patients was higher compared with category 1 patients (p < 0.001), and values correlated with the mean neutrophil percentages. Also, MPV, TLC, and neutrophil % values showed a statistically significant drop (p < 0.001) 2 weeks after treatment for sickle cell crises.

Conclusion: Thus, MPV can be used as a potential marker to identify patients at a greater risk of developing vaso-occlusive crises in the future, which, in a developing country like India, can be a key step toward affordable, primary prevention of future emergencies.
Somatic and functional compensations in junior badminton players
Authors: Jaworski Janusz , Żak Michał , Lech Grzegorz , Bujas Przemysław , Żak Stanisław , Tchórzewski Dariusz
Published: July 2018

Purpose

The aim of the study was to examine mutual compensations of somatic and functional variables in a group of junior badminton players.

Methods

The material of the study represented the results of 24 elite Polish badminton players with average competitive experience of 8.2 year. Basic somatic characteristics, coordination motor abilities, and motor fitness in terms of speed abilities, maximum anaerobic power, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory strength were examined.

Results

The morphofunctional profiles in 7 players with top skill level are not identical. The variables that form these profiles interact with and compensate for each other. Some elite players show dominance of physical abilities, while somatic or coordination motor abilities are more pronounced in others. Several athletes were also characterized by a balanced morphofunctional profile.

Conclusions

The phenomenon observed requires further examinations, especially those based on the data derived from the category of senior champions.
Gluteal activation and increased frontal plane projection angle during a step-down test in young women
Authors: Barbosa Alexandre Carvalho , Vieira Edgar Ramos , Barbosa MIchelle Almeida , Fernandes Ilha , Damázio Marcela , Badaró Bárbara
Published: July 2018

Purpose

To investigate how the activation of gluteus maximus and gluteus medius interacts with different frontal plane projection angles (FPPA) in healthy young women presenting dynamic knee valgus in one limb while performing the step-down test.

Methods

The total of 18 young women presenting FPPA > 15° during the step-down test in one limb (dynamic knee valgus) were assessed. The other limb should present less than 15° for comparisons. The amplitude of muscle activation was assessed through surface electromyography of gluteus medius and gluteus maximus during 8 subsequent weight bearing step-down tests.

Results

FPPA was positively correlated with gluteus maximus activation and with the assessed side showing FPPA > 15°, which also revealed increased activation of gluteus maximus. No differences were noted for gluteus medius. The principal component analysis explained 73% of the variance in 2 components, with gluteus maximus explaining 48% of the variance on the 1st component. Gluteus medius explained 25% on the 2nd component.

Conclusions

Gluteus maximus seems to be a major component to explain dynamic knee valgus in women without symptoms of patellofemoral pain, probably owing to weakness and lack of stabilization of other proximal muscles of the hip-knee complex during the task.
Psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Motor Observation Questionnaire for Teachers (MOQ-T)
Authors: Nowak Agata , Schoemaker Marina
Published: July 2018

Purpose

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting 6–10% of school-aged children. DCD causes chronic motor impairments which distinguish children from their developmentally typical peers. To adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Motor Observation Questionnaire for Teachers (MOQ-T) for use in a Polish child population.

Methods

Physical education teachers assessed a normative sample of 348 children using the MOQ-T. Internal consistency was evaluated by calculating Cronbach’s alpha. Factor analysis was performed to investigate construct validity. A clinic-referred sample (n = 31) and a control group (n = 33) were recruited and concurrent validity was assessed by calculating correlations between the MOQ-T and the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK). Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis assessed discriminative validity.

Results

Cronbach's alpha for the total MOQ-T score was 0.962. Factor analysis identified three factors: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and general motor coordination. A negative correlation between the MOQ-T and KTK scores was found in both the control and clinic-referred groups. The AUC metric for the sample was 0.96 (CI: 0.90–1.00). Sensitivity was 0.80 for total MOQ-T scores at or above 44.5 with a specificity of 94%.

Conclusions

The psychometric properties of the MOQ-T as a DCD screening instrument in Polish school-aged children are promising. Further investigation warrants the inclusion of larger population samples and additional validity comparisons such as with the commonly used Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Second Edition).
Mineralogy and physicochemical features of Saharan dust wet deposited in the Iberian Peninsula during an extreme red rain event
Authors: Rodriguez-Navarro Carlos , di Lorenzo Fulvio , Elert Kerstin
Published: July 2018

Abstract. The mineralogy and physicochemical features of Saharan dust particles help to identify source areas and determine their biogeochemical, radiative, and health effects, but their characterization is challenging. Using a multianalytical approach, here we characterized with unprecedented level of detail the mineralogy and physicochemical properties of Saharan dust particles massively wet deposited ( ∼  18 g m−2) following an extreme red rain event triggered by a northern African cyclone that affected the southern Iberian Peninsula during 21–23 February 2017. Abundant palygorskite and illite, and relatively high carbonate contents, well-known northern and north-western Saharan dust indicators, along with low chlorite content and significant amounts of smectites and kaolinite, whose abundance increases southwards in the western Sahara, complemented by satellite imagery and back/forward trajectories, show that the most probable dust source areas were (i) southern/central Algeria, northern Mali, and northwestern Niger, and (ii) northern Algeria, southern Tunisia, and northwestern Libya. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy analyses, including Z-contrast high angle annular dark field (HAADF) imaging and analytical electron microscopy (AEM), show that clay minerals include abundant structural Fe (55 % of the total Fe) and typically form nanogranular aggregates covered or interspersed with amorphous/poorly crystalline iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticles (ferrihydrite), which account for  ∼  18 % of the free Fe, the rest being goethite and hematite. These nanogranular aggregates tend to form rims lining large silicate and carbonate particles. Such internally mixed iron-containing phases are the main contributors to the observed absorption of solar and thermal radiation, and along with the abundant coarse/giant particles ( > 10 µm) strongly affect the dust direct radiative forcing. The lack of secondary sulfates in aggregates of unaltered calcite internally mixed with clays/iron-rich nanoparticles shows that iron-rich nanoparticles did not form via atmospheric (acid) processing but were already present in the dust source soils. Such iron-rich nanoparticles, in addition to iron-containing clay (nano)particles, are the source of the  ∼  20 % soluble (bioavailable) iron in the studied desert dust. The dust particles are a potential health hazard, specifically the abundant and potentially carcinogenic iron-containing palygorskite fibers. Ultimately, we show that different source areas are activated over large desert extensions, and large quantities of complex dust mixtures are transported thousands of kilometers and wet-deposited during such extreme events, which dwarf any other Saharan dust event affecting southwestern Europe. The past, present, and future trends, as well as impacts, of such extreme events must be taken into account when evaluating and modeling the manifold effects of the desert dust cycle.
A study of earthquake recurrence based on a one-body spring-slider model in the presence of thermal-pressurized slip-weakening friction and viscosity
Authors: Wang Jeen-Hwa
Published: July 2018

Abstract. Earthquake recurrence is studied from the temporal variation in slip through
numerical simulations based on the normalized form of equation of motion of a
one-body spring-slider model with thermal-pressurized slip-weakening friction
and viscosity. The wear process, whose effect is included in the friction
law, is also taken into account in this study. The main parameters are the
normalized characteristic displacement, Uc, of the friction law
and the normalized damping coefficient (to represent viscosity), η.
TR, D, and τD are the recurrence time
of events, the final slip of an event, and the duration time of an event,
respectively. Simulation results show that TR increases when
Uc decreases or η increases, D and τD
decrease with increasing η, and τD increases with
Uc. The time- and slip-predictable model can describe the
temporal variation in cumulative slip. When the wear process is considered,
the thickness of slip zone, h, which depends on the cumulated slip,
S(t) = ∑D(t), i.e., h(t) = CS(t) (C is a
dimensionless increasing rate of h with S), is an important parameter
influencing TR and D. Uc is a function of h and
thus depends on cumulated normalized slip, ∑U, with an increasing rate of C. In
the computational time period, the wear process influences the recurrence of
events and such an effect increases with C when C > 0.0001. When
viscosity is present, the effect due to wear process becomes stronger. Both
TR and D decrease when the fault becomes more mature, thus
suggesting that it is more difficult to produce large earthquakes along a
fault when it becomes more mature. Neither the time-predictable nor the
slip-predictable model can describe the temporal variation in cumulative slip
of earthquakes under the wear process with large C.
DEMOCRACIA E TECNOLOGIA: NOS CAMINHOS DO “ATOR NÃO SOCIAL”
Authors: Veiga Itamar Soares
Published: July 2018

RESUMO:Alain Touraine defende uma concepção de sujeito que está na contracorrente dos críticos do século XX. O sujeito constitui a base para o ator que se desenvolve no espaço aberto das democracias. Este artigo acompanha a mudança na sua concepção de ator: o ator social se torna ator não social. A mudança é apresentada por meio do posicionamento crítico de Touraine diante da obra de Foucault. O objetivo é mostrar quais são as ameaças ao sujeito no espaço disponível da democracia. Estas ameaças constituirão um fator não desprezível na explicação da crise da democracia. A resposta alcançada afirma que não apenas o discurso interpretativo dominante é se constitui uma ameaça, mas alguns desenvolvimentos tecnológicos como coleta de dados e manipulação podem também ser uma ameaça.

A VIOLÊNCIA INERENTE AO SUJEITO DE DIREITO EM LOCKE
Authors: Biondi Pablo
Published: July 2018

O artigo apresenta o tema da violência no sujeito de direito investigando o liberalismo de John Locke. Esse filósofo oferece uma concepção de propriedade que provê um elevado status para as medidas individuais de autotutela, de tal modo que uma agressão violenta contra direitos de propriedade poderia autorizar a vítima a matar o agressor. Segundo Locke, esse tipo de violação provoca um estado de guerra entre esses indivíduos. Isso significa que o moderno sujeito jurídico porta um oblíquo direito de matar por sua propriedade, o que o qualifica como um agente social possessivo e potencialmente violento. Essa violência está enraizada no liberalismo e pode ser explicada pelas características sociais do sujeito jurídico: um ser abstrato que é qualificado como proprietário de sua própria pessoa e dos bens que ele leva livremente (contratualmente) ao mercado para pessoas livres como ele, e igualmente proprietárias das mercadorias que vendem. Espera-se que esse tipo de agente defenda seus bens contra agressões externas quando o Estado falha em prover proteção policial, e a única finalidade do Estado, numa perspectiva liberal, é o fornecimento desse serviço. Tal circunstância revela uma similaridade morfológica entre o sujeito de direito e o homem armado movido pelo auto-interesse.

Published: July 2018

This study is focused on analyzing the behavior of oil/gas plumes from blowouts into deepwater, located at the northern Brazil continental shelf. The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) model is used to simulate ocean dynamics in the region 60.5°-24.0°W/5°S-16°N with 0.25° of resolution, 32 vertical levels and considering the discharges of the Amazon and Pará Rivers. The ROMS output are compared to Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) dataset. Three points were selected to make the numerical simulations, located at (50°W, 5.25°N), (44.5°W, 0.5°N) and (42.75°W, 1°S). The time step suggested by Lee and Cheung (1990) was adjusted due to the particular oceanographic conditions at each point, in which, the initial velocity tends to zero and the coefficient 0.1 of the original equation was replaced by 0.0250 and 0.0375. All the plumes behaved as type 3. The seasonal current speed was small from the bottom to the surface, usually not exceeding 0.25 ms-1; the maximum displacement of the plumes from its point of origin was not greater than 1 m. The mean plumes diameter on the surface ranged 54 - 79.7 m and the arrival time to the surface was from 7.25 to 8.05 hours.

La no renovación de contrato a los profesores de religión en las escuelas públicas por falta de idoneidad canónica : autonomía de las Iglesias y aconfesionalidad del Estado vs. derechos fundamentales del trabajador : comentario a las SSTC 38/2007 y 128/2007)
Authors: Brage Camazano Joaquín
Published: July 2018

In this work, the author comments critically a recent case-law of the Constitutional Court about the cases in that the Administration doesn’t renew the yearly contract to a teacher of Catholic religion in public schools because the Bishop didn’t nominate him for that academic year because he failed to consider him a suitable teacher of religion, in part even on the basis of aspects related to his private life. In the Decision 38 of 2007, the Constitutional Court analyzes in abstract the compatibility with the Constitution of the Concordat which allows that «non renewall» of contract and it considers that this is in accordance with the Constitution but the Court lays down the demands that derive of the fundamental rights of the teacher and which should be kept in mind by the judges when enforcing this regulation to the concrete cases. In the Decision 128/2007, the Courth itself reviews a first concrete case of application of this doctrine. The Court gives great deference to the religious opinion of the Bishop when the «non renewal» is based on religious motivations in order to respect the collective freedom of religion.

The aim of this article is firstly to describe the phenomenum of «national or state incorporation« of European Union Fundamental Rights.That is a process that was launched by the European Court of Justice with its judgment Wachauf in 1989, when it established that Member states were obliged to respect European Community Fundamental Rights in the implementation of Community law rules. It implies that those afore mentioned rights become parameters of conformity with Community Law and are to be used by national courts and judges when they are asked to control national authorities’ acts (including national legislure’s) taking into account those parameters. From this point of view, this work tries likewise to analyse how that incorporation affects the activity of judicial review of national acts in the light of fundamental rights as recognized by the National constitution. And specially when judicial review deals with Acts and other legal rules with same rank.

Nahum Lipowski (1874–1928). Jewish theatre and film
Authors: Blažiūnas Juozapas
Published: July 2018

A significant part of the 20th century film and theatre posters preserved and stored in the Lithuanian archives of literature and art are related to the Nahum Lipowski Jewish Folk Theatre. The research focuses on the analysis of Lipowski and his works. It indicates that little attention has been devoted to the influence of Lipowski as a director and scriptwriter on silent film industry. The data yielded by this study prove convincing evidence that the beginning of silent film in Lithuania, film making tendencies and the history of Jewish theatre are related. The works of Nahum Lipowski and his biographical facts are a great illustrative example of the cultural life in the late 19th and early 20th century. This study can also clarify some aspects and fill the knowledge gap of the Jewish enlightenment movement followers.
Entre cuerpos: Prácticas transformistas,homosexualidad y representación visual en el Carnaval de Barranquilla

Las imágenes que se difunden sobre el Carnaval de Barranquilla han invisibilizado a los homosexuales, planteando una imagen equívoca a partir del hombre rudo que se disfraza de mujer durante las fiestas populares. La representación visual sobre el carnaval demuestra que prácticamente a distintos niveles, este colectivo tiene el papel protagónico en la preparación y en la puesta en escena, incluso armando a las “reinas”. Pero días previos, los homosexuales se toman las calles de la ciudad, en un desfile nocturno que han denominado “Guacherna Gay”. “Entre cuerpos” propone un debate sobre la representación visual de la homosexualidad en las fiestas populares, a partir de una lectura crítica visual desde lo público. Para esto, se aborda la problemática de la representación desde antecedentes que han promovido la imagen marginal de la homosexualidad en otras expresiones artísticas, a través de dispositivos narrativos como la crónica, el mito urbano, el obituario, tomando como referencia artística, literaria y performativa a Barranquilla, conectada con otras ciudades de Colombia, como Bogotá, espacio cosmopolita en el que los homosexuales han transformado el enfoque marginal que les señalaba.

Advertising is joined to history: it is present due to economic, commercial, technological and cultural evolution. As stated by Watzlawick, to communicate, above and before everything else. We cannot stop communicating and each technological advance gives us more efficient tools to carry out this activity, innate to the human species. The time we live in forces us to redefine the communication models based on a new consumer concept that confronts advertising messages actively and critically, and that has available a wide network to share knowledge and contents through horizontal communication that has practically no barriers. The strategies and advertising messages take a twist and because of this, we have to redefine the concept of advertising and the activities that make up this type of communication. What is advertising, what are public relations, guerrilla marketing…, what are the boundaries of these activities?. Adapting and evolving to offer brands and companies greater coverage with greater efficiency.
El uso periodístico de las redes sociales: análisis comparativo entre Brasil y España

Published: July 2018

Current journalism is facing various changes associated with adapting information to theinteractivity offered by the internet. With Web 2.0 and the consolidation of the horizontal and bi-directional communication model, the roles of the transmitter and receiver continuously alternate, leading to the appearance of “prosumers”. The arrival of interactive digital platforms has led to a substantial change in the relationship between people and the media. In a constantly updating social environment, journalists are exposed to feedback from the audience who want to be participants in the information process. This communication scenario stimulates the evolution of this paper, whose object is to analyse media profiles and learn about the characteristics of their publications. We have tried to identify the conversational parts included in the messages that make up the media timelines through a methodology based on content analysis. In order to prove the hypothesis of a lack of use of the interactive potential of social networks by the cyber media, the cases of two Brazilian newspapers’ (Folha de São Paulo y O Globo) and of two Spanish newspapers (El País y El Mundo) have been studied in Facebook and Twitter, trying to establish a parallel between both countries. The results reveal a predominance of messages that are merely referential in Twitter while in the messages uploaded on Facebook a stimulus to conversation is more often found. The timelines of the newspapers are updated more regularly on the microblogging network, a platform frequently used for live coverage.

Corporate Reputation, CR, is currently a high intangible value for companies. Its recognition, measurement and effective management are the key factors to corporate survival and sustainability over time. But this effort is not simple, the relationship with their stakeholders is changing due to new technologies, labor relations, environmental issues, corporate image, branding and business ethics. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between the CR and its various components. This paper presents a study where the relationship between integrity and CR perceived by the public in social networks and media on-line is analyzed. For this purpose a sample of Spanish companies were selected according to their profit size. The results of this study allow us to understand into what extent the ethics of large companies manage to influence their perception and whether or not this CR received through social networks penalize their attractiveness or admiration in the social media. This partnership will provide a new perspective on how integrity performs in the current scenario between companies and their stakeholders over Internet. Ultimately, this research shows if citizens and companies, human person and legal person, act and express their behaviour in social networks under the same ethical level. It also helps to prove the tendency —one of the two or both— to contribute to the improvement and recovery of the lack of trust in the business market. Only then can we maintain a solid CR in a complex and changing global environment in which the human being, as a natural or legal person, is the protagonist.

Published: July 2018

This article presents a bibliographic review of the latest extension to the branding phenomenon: ‘employer branding’, which consists in the use of brands in the work environment and their application in talent management in companies. Employer branding goes beyond conventional internal communication since it proposes brand management as a strategic value for the organization of the talent market, with implications at both internal and external level. For this research over sixty articles have been examined. The articles have been published from the nineties to the present date in the main international marketing, branding and management journals, mainly from Europe or America. Even though at a smaller scale, conference papers, doctoral theses and books have also been studied. After introducing the subject of study in the first part, a second part presents a detailed revision of the two perspectives found in the literature on this phenomenon (internal branding vs employer branding), including their definitions together with a compilation of the most relevant studies. The main conceptualizations of the term and the models already published by various European and American authors are then analysed. A fourth section describes the implications that the implementation of this type of branding strategies involve for organizations. To conclude, the authors present the conclusions drawn from the research work carried out and their own conceptualization of “employer branding”, main recommendations and future lines of action.

The article focuses on the treatment of men and women as protagonists of specialized scientific information in the Spanish mass media. The obtained results are part of the research project I+D+i nº 2011-004-INV-00016, Proyecto de Investigación para el Fomento de la Igualdad de Género en la Información Científica (Research Project for the promotion of Gender Equality in Scientific Information). In order to achieve the set objectives, the following are analysed and studied in the project: the presence of women scientists in the Internet and in the Spanish press, the image of women scientists in the national press and the gender prejudices and stereotypes in the media representation of women scientists, the correspondence between the media representation of women scientists and their real situation in Spain, and the social perception of women scientists in Spain. In this article, we will only focus on the results of the analysis of women scientists in the Internet. The corpus of information is what was published about science, research and technology in the period June-October 2012. The software programme used for the search and analysis of the information was the programme Swotti Premium. The analysis includes a mixed, quantitative and qualitative methodology: analysis of the texts on scientific topics, focusing on gender inequality and the use of certain words. Thus, for example, we noticed that men researchers are mentioned in a 61% of the cases, 39% in the case of women. After presenting the quantitative data, on mentions and opinions, we continue with the qualitative research by seeking the nouns and adjectives that accompany the researchers depending on their gender. The dangers of this inequality directly affect citizens, who construct sexist gender stereotypes also when thinking of Science.

The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the explanatory power of brand awareness in effectiveness of television advertising measured in terms of unaided recall. This study uses a hierarchical regression analysis in which (1) the dependent variable was advertising recall, measured in a real environment with a representative sample of television audience in Spain and (2) one of the independent variables was the results of the previous awareness of the advertised brands. The variables of control included: duration of the advertisement, position and number of insertions. Thus we have provided empirical evidence to justify the potential of brand awareness in advertising practice. These evidences show that the degree of brand awareness affects the recall of advertising, and in turn, the advertising sector on television also has a positive influence on the percentages of memory of it.
