La imagen de España y Marruecos en la prensa marroquí y española durante el incidente del islote de Perejil (Leyla)

El artículo analiza un total de 1.133 noticias publicadas en la prensa marroquí francófona (Le Matin du Sahara et du Mahgreb, Maroc Hebdo International, y L’Économiste) y en la prensa española de tirada nacional (El País, ABC y El Mundo) durante la disputa territorial del islote de Leyla/Perejil en julio de 2002. Se propone un análisis de discurso publicado estructurándolo a partir de la distinción entre los principios de periodismo bélico y de paz de Jake Lynch et al. (1997). Se obtiene una alta presencia de indicadores propios del periodismo de guerra, en ambas riberas: atención prioritaria a los acontecimientos armados, polarización, hipérboles narrativas, orientación hacia las élites, propaganda e, incluso, deshumanización. Si bien existen breves destellos de periodismo de paz: sentido del humor, relativización de la importancia del incidente, seguimiento, a veces extenso, de las declaraciones de ambas partes.

The Big BIM battle: BIM adoption in the UK for large and small companies

As BIM adoption continues, the goal of a totally collaborative model with multiple contributors is attainable. Many initiatives such as the 2016 UK government level 2 BIM deadline are putting pressure on the construction industry to speed up the changeover. Clients and collaborators have higher expectations of using digital 3D models to communicate design ideas and solve practical problems. Contractors and clients are benefitting from cost saving scheduling and clash detection offered by BIM. Effective collaboration on the project will also give speed and efficiency gains. Despite this, many businesses of varying sizes are still having problems. The cost of the software and the training provides an obvious barrier for micro-enterprises and could explain a delay in adoption. Many studies have looked at these problems faced by SME and micro-enterprises. Larger companies have different problems. The efforts made by government to encourage them are quite comprehensive, but is anything being done to help smaller sectors and keep the industry cohesive? This limited study examines several companies of varying size and varying project type: architectural design businesses, main contractor, structural engineer and building consultancy. The study examines the barriers to a truly collaborative BIM workflow facing different specialities on a larger project and a contrasting small/medium project. The findings will establish that different barriers for each sector are actually pushing further apart, thus potentially creating a BIM-only construction elite, leaving the small companies remaining on 2D based drawing.
