All the rest is merely exploitation and perseverance : the poster art of Frank Kozik

"The history of poster art tends to focus on the art of Henri Toulouse-Latrec, Jules Cheret, and Alfonse Mucha, while leaving out or barely mentioning the work of artists such as Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, and Alton Kelley. The aim of this thesis is to widen the gaze of poster art by centering on a contemporary rock poster artist: Frank Kozik. By focusing on formal and sociological analysis ofa number of Kozik's posters, I illustrate how he not only fits in with the arc of poster art development, but also influences it into the next century"

Going beyond traditional QA systems: challenges and keys in opinion question answering

The treatment of factual data has been widely studied in different areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, processing subjective information still poses important challenges. This paper presents research aimed at assessing techniques that have been suggested as appropriate in the context of subjective - Opinion Question Answering (OQA). We evaluate the performance of an OQA with these new components and propose methods to optimally tackle the issues encountered. We assess the impact of including additional resources and processes with the purpose of improving the system performance on two distinct blog datasets. The improvements obtained for the different combination of tools are statistically significant. We thus conclude that the proposed approach is adequate for the OQA task, offering a good strategy to deal with opinionated questions.

Innovación docente mediante recursos de investigación (GeoMar: docencia universitaria de las Geociencias Marinas)

En el contexto de los proyectos “Redes de investigación en docencia universitaria de la Universidad de Alicante” se ha establecido la red de trabajo “GeoMar: Red de investigación en docencia universitaria de las Geociencias Marinas”. En el marco esta esta red se presenta un ejemplo de innovación docente desarrollado en la asignatura “Planctología aplicada y Micropaleontología marina”. Esta actividad se fundamenta en la utilización de recursos avanzados de investigación como son el Centro de Investigación Marina de Santa Pola y los Servicios Técnicos de Investigación de la Universidad de Alicante. El plan de aprendizaje consiste esencialmente en el desarrollo de clases teórico-prácticas/tutorías grupales donde los alumnos desarrollan de forma autónoma un trabajo de iniciación a la investigación. Finalmente, se presentan los trabajos, desarrollados en comunicación tipo poster, en un mini-congreso de carácter informal denominado “Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Micropaleontología Marina”. Estos posters fueron expuestos también, como ejemplo de trabajo de iniciación a la investigación, en “III Encuentro de Investigación del Instituto Multidisciplinar para el estudio del Medio” organizado en la Facultad de Ciencias. Asimismo, esta actividad docente ha derivado en que en la actualidad dos alumnos se encuentren realizando sus trabajos fin de grado en la temática relacionada con la asignatura.

Carteles, publicidad y territorio: la creación de la identidad turística en España (1929-1936)

El Patronato Nacional de Turismo, desde su fundación en 1928, asumió como una de sus tareas esenciales la promoción turística de España. Para ello, entre otras actividades, editó varias decenas de carteles en distintas lenguas, en los que difundió no sólo la riqueza territorial de nuestro país, sino también una determinada concepción de España que pudiera despertar el interés de potenciales visitantes, es decir, una auténtica identidad turística española. Analizar desde la óptica publicitaria y la geográfica el conjunto de carteles que han llegado hasta nosotros y establecer los aspectos claves de aquella promoción de nuestro país es el objetivo de este artículo.

During the civil war (1936-39) was built a network of defensive settlements on the coast in anticipation of attacks enemies, forming the so-called 'wall Mediterranean', because of its similarity with the Wall Atlantic of the World War II. These enclaves were composed of groups of batteries, bunkers and buildings.

It's a set of military settlements anti-aircraft, mostly scattered coastal rural, which are a great heritage and landscape value, and from which planes haven't been preserved. It is to lift current state record of them all, proceeding to its typological classification, in order to contribute to its assessment and protection on the grounds that they constitute a legacy of architectural heritage that increases our cultural memory.history.
