Acercarse al período modernista en las artes europeas implica enfrentarse al cuestionamiento del concepto de representación. Las artes plásticas -la pintura y más tarde la escultura- se liberan gradualmente del mandato que regía desde el Renacimiento en cuanto a su dependencia de las leyes de la perspectiva; se deja de lado la figuración hasta arribar a la abstracción. Asimismo, la experimentación en literatura se aprecia en cada uno de sus géneros, siguiendo ahora la mayoría de ellos el modelo de la pintura. En este contexto, la definición de écfrasis con mayor aceptación entre la crítica actual: "la representación verbal de una representación visual", debe revisarse al estudiar este momento histórico si, tal como demuestra Ruth Webb en "Ekphrasis ancient and modern: the invention of a genre", su definición refleja las relaciones entre las artes de cada período. Se propone, entonces, un recorrido por textos teóricos sobre la écfrasis para examinar luego textos en prosa del período modernista en lengua inglesa, y así intentar dilucidar a qué tipo de texto o fragmento de texto se puede aplicar la categoría de ecfrástico según su propio contexto histórico y artístico

Desde el comienzo de la Historia, el ser humano ha pensado en su futuro, ya fuera por el hecho de preocuparse por su supervivencia o por razones más filosóficas, como el porvenir como especie. Pensar en el futuro es anticipación. El género de la ciencia ficción es el que más se basa en la anticipación. En muchos subgéneros de la ciencia ficción se tratan temas futuristas, viajes espaciales a otros planetas, inteligencia artificial, etc. Por otra parte, en la actualidad vivimos un período donde los cambios en las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación) son prácticamente diarios, aunque podría llegar a decirse que los cambios se producen hora a hora. A veces, muchos de estos avances nos parecen producto de la fantasía o la ciencia ficción, o salidos de alguna película futurista. Sin embargo, dichos avances son perfectamente posibles y explicables a través de la ciencia actual. A través de este proyecto se pretenden analizar estos avances, relacionándolos con distintas obras de ciencia ficción. Una gran cantidad de los avances tecnológicos tienen su origen en alguna obra de la ciencia ficción, ya sea literatura o cine. Otro objetivo es realizar un estudio de diferentes propuestas tecnológicas de diferentes obras de esta rama que no se hayan realizado todavía, y analizar su viabilidad, su utilidad y los posibles cambios sociológicos que produciría en el mundo en el que vivimos. El tercer objetivo es evaluar la aptitud y actitud de los ingenieros de telecomunicación en cuanto a la innovación y la proyección hacia el futuro de los estos posibles cambios tecnológicos. Abstract Since the beginning of History, humans have thought about their future, either concerned about survival or by philosophical reasons like the future as species. Thinking about the future is speculation. The science fiction genre is the one that is based on speculation. Sub-genres of science fiction covers futuristic themes like space travel to other planets, artificial intelligence, etc. Today we live in a period where changes in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are almost daily, although we should say that changes occur in a matter of hours. Sometimes, many of these advances seem a product of fantasy or science fiction, or coming out of a futuristic movie. However, these advances are perfectly possible and explainable by current science. Through this project the intention is to analyze these developments, relating them to various works of science fiction. A great number of this technological advancements have their origin in a work of science fiction, either literature or film. Another objective is to study different technological proposals of this genre that have not been done yet, and analyze their feasibility, usefulness and potential sociological changes that occur in the world we live in. The third objective is to evaluate the ability and attitude of telecommunication engineers in terms of innovation and future projection of these potential technological changes.

El presente estudio toma como punto de partida las relaciones existentes en el interior del binomio arte-publicidad, para traerlas al presente y analizarlas en el marco del arte español actual, especialmente en los años comprendidos entre el 2000 y el 2014. Para articular un discurso teórico, se establece tal relación a partir de las apropiaciones que el arte opera sobre la publicidad. Un Apropiacionismo que, en el arte que analizamos, tiene un carácter eminentemente crítico. Los artistas que configuran estos trabajos, se sirven de los mecanismos del universo publicitario para llevarlos al campo de las artes visuales y lanzar mensajes transfigurados en productos críticos, que sirven como reclamo a la vez que inducen al espectador a la reflexión. Vivimos en un mundo repleto de imágenes en el que, a través de la publicidad y los medios de comunicación, cada instante se transforma en una fuente de información sobre los estereotipos hegemónicos en la sociedad contemporánea. La publicidad actúa como un gran depredador capaz de generar escenarios para la ficción desde donde vendernos sus productos, pero también inocular ideología a través de metonimias que de alguna manera aluden al sentido de la vida. Además, dispone de unos mecanismos que logran llegar a grandes sectores de la población, algo que, desde los inicios de la publicidad, le ha conferido un enorme atractivo, propiciando que el artista ponga su mirada en estas estrategias y tome como modelo las formas acuñadas por las mitologías publicitarias. Este trabajo comienza analizando las relaciones entre arte y publicidad, así como el desarrollo de las apropiaciones en el arte, proceso que desemboca en la constitución de la corriente del Apropiacionismo...

En este trabajo se examinan algunos rasgos característicos del cuento español en los años 90, y se analizan con brevedad dos de los autores más influyentes y que suponen dos tipos bien diferenciados de escritura. Javier Marías explora las líneas de confluencia entre realidad y ficción, de manera que no es suficente una simple "copia" de lo real y el lenguaje debe ser un elemento creador. Juan Manuel de Prada desarrolla una literaura imaginativa, y utiliza elementos que proceden del cine y de otros medios, aunque a veces los elementos históricos se confunden con lo puramente ficticio

This paper aimed to explore the proportion associated with the perceived importance and the actual use of performance indicators from manufacturing and non manufacturing industries. The sample was 86 small and medium sized-organizations in Thailand. The perceived importance and the actual use of financial and non financial indicators were found to be significantly related among manufacturing and non manufacturing industries. KPI 3, 9, and 12 (i.e. sales and sales growth; quality of products and /or services; and process time) were perceived the most importance among manufacturing managers (85.3%, 79.4% and 76.5% respectively). While KPI 6, 9, and 12 (i.e. customer satisfaction, quality of products and /or services; and process time) were perceived the most importance among non manufacturing managers (84.8%, 93.5%, and 84.8% respectively). Interestingly, the most used KPIs for manufacturing were sales and sales growth (64.7%); profit margins (61.8%); and customer satisfaction (84.8) while non manufacturing used quality products/services (60.9%); sales and sales growth (54.3%) and employee development (54.3%) respectively. Limitation and implication were also discussed.

Expected satiety has been shown to play a key role in decisions around meal size. Recently it has become clear that these expectations can also influence the satiety that is experienced after a food has been consumed. As such, increasing the expected and actual satiety a food product confers without increasing its caloric content is of importance. In this study we sought to determine whether this could be achieved via product labelling. Female participants (N=75) were given a 223-kcal yoghurt smoothie for lunch. In separate conditions the smoothie was labelled as a diet brand, a highly-satiating brand, or an ‘own brand’ control. Expected satiety was assessed using rating scales and a computer-based ‘method of adjustment’, both prior to consuming the smoothie and 24 hours later. Hunger and fullness were assessed at baseline, immediately after consuming the smoothie, and for a further three hours. Despite the fact that all participants consumed the same food, the smoothie branded as highly-satiating was consistently expected to deliver more satiety than the other ‘brands’; this difference was sustained 24 hours after consumption. Furthermore, post-consumption and over three hours, participants consuming this smoothie reported significantly less hunger and significantly greater fullness. These findings demonstrate that the satiety that a product confers depends in part on information that is present around the time of consumption. We suspect that this process is mediated by changes to expected satiety. These effects may potentially be utilised in the development of successful weight-management products.

The use of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) in domestic residences has increased rapidly due to their higher energy efficiency and longer life expectancy when compared with traditional incandescent light bulbs. Through measurement of illuminance, actual power and apparent power, the actual efficacy and associated power factor of CFLs are studied in this paper. It is found that for an individual CFL, although its power consumption and lighting output (i.e. luminous flux) may be higher or lower than the stated values provided by the lighting manufacturers, the actual efficacy would most likely be equal to or better than the efficacy calculated from the given rated power and lumen from the manufacturers. The typical power factor for CFLs was 0.63.

Fractional anisotropy (FA), a very widely used measure of fiber integrity based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), is a problematic concept as it is influenced by several quantities including the number of dominant fiber directions within each voxel, each fiber's anisotropy, and partial volume effects from neighboring gray matter. High-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) can resolve more complex diffusion geometries than standard DTI, including fibers crossing or mixing. The tensor distribution function (TDF) can be used to reconstruct multiple underlying fibers per voxel, representing the diffusion profile as a probabilistic mixture of tensors. Here we found that DTIderived mean diffusivity (MD) correlates well with actual individual fiber MD, but DTI-derived FA correlates poorly with actual individual fiber anisotropy, and may be suboptimal when used to detect disease processes that affect myelination. Analysis of the TDFs revealed that almost 40% of voxels in the white matter had more than one dominant fiber present. To more accurately assess fiber integrity in these cases, we here propose the differential diffusivity (DD), which measures the average anisotropy based on all dominant directions in each voxel.

Despite significant research on drivers’ speeding behavior in work zones, little is known about how well drivers’ judgments of appropriate speeds match their actual speeds and what factors influence their judgments. This study aims to fill these two important gaps in the literature by comparing observed speeds in two work zones with drivers’ self-nominated speeds for the same work zones. In an online survey, drivers nominated speeds for the two work zones based on photographs in which the actual posted speed limits were not revealed. A simultaneous equation modelling approach was employed to examine the effects of driver characteristics on their self-nominated speeds. The results showed that survey participants nominated lower speeds (corresponding to higher compliance rates) than those which were observed. Higher speeds were nominated by males than females, young and middle aged drivers than older drivers, and drivers with truck driving experience than those who drive only cars. Larger differences between nominated and observed speeds were found among car drivers than truck drivers. These differences suggest that self-nominated speeds might not be valid indicators of the observed work zone speeds and therefore should not be used as an alternative to observed speed data.
