Las relaciones públicas en el tratamiento que los medios de comunicación otorgan a los mensajes de la Guardia Civil de Alicante

El presente trabajo expone las diferencias más significativas en el tratamiento que los medios de comunicación otorgan a las noticias de la Guardia Civil de Alicante en dos períodos diferentes y con modelos conductuales de relaciones públicas muy distintos. En el primero de ellos, la oficina de comunicación de la Institución se dedicaba exclusivamente a remitir notas de prensa a los medios; en el segundo, la conducta comunicativa de la Benemérita se basa en modelos bidireccionales de las relaciones públicas. Los resultados presentados ponen de manifiesto la eficacia limitada del modelo unidireccional utilizado por la OPC con los MMCC, sin embargo, esa misma eficacia comunicativa se manifiesta en su máximo exponente al combinar ambos. La incorporación simultánea de los modelos agente de prensa y simétrico bidireccional (Grunig y Hunt, 2003,73) contribuyen al buen tratamiento otorgado por los medios a la Guardia Civil de Alicante.

Turismo y desarrollo sostenible en la provincia de Samaná, República Dominicana

El turismo en la República Dominicana se ha convertido en el motor económico del país, aventajando a actividades tradicionales como la agricultura y la manufactura. Esta transformación de la matriz productiva está sustentada, en gran medida, en la construcción de grandes hoteles en diferentes zonas litorales del país. El presente estudio se centra en la península de Samaná, área de reciente desarrollo turístico que es usada reiteradamente por el Estado dominicano como exponente del desarrollo sostenible, alcanzado a través del fomento del sector servicios. El objetivo principal es determinar la veracidad de esta afirmación, mediante la identificación y la caracterización de los principales impactos ambientales, sociales y económicos generados por la construcción de complejos hoteleros. Además, se analizará el cumplimiento de la legislación ambiental por parte de las empresas constructoras de grandes hoteles así como el rol del organismo estatal competente en la conservación del entorno natural.

Patriarch Kirill's game over Ukraine. OSW Commentary No. 144, 14.08.2014

The protests on Kyiv’s Maidan which commenced in November 2013, followed by the conflict in Ukraine’s eastern regions, have redefined the political and social relations between Russia and Ukraine, and have added complexity to the dependences between the Orthodox Churches operating in the two countries. The Kremlin’s policy has put the Russian Orthodox Church–Moscow Patriarchate (ROC) in an awkward position. The ROC is Russia’s largest religious organisation, which also exercises symbolic sovereignty over Ukraine’s most numerous Orthodox community, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church–Moscow Patriarchate (UOC–MP), which since 13 August has had a new leader, Metropolitan Onufry. The head of the ROC, the Patriarch of Moscow and All-Russia, Kirill, has been facing a dilemma as to how he should respond to the Russian government’s aggressive policy towards Ukraine. His firm support of the Kremlin’s moves in Ukraine, may lose the Russian Church its social influence in this country. This might also catalyse a process within which Ukraine’s largest Orthodox Church would gradually become independent of Moscow. On the other hand, if he condemns the Kremlin’s policy, this would adversely affect the co-operation between ‘the altar and the throne’ which has been rapidly developing over the past few years in Russia, and which has offered multiple benefits to the Russian Church. As a result, Patriarch Kirill has distanced the ROC from the recent developments in Ukraine and has adopted a neutral stance. However, Kirill’s choice has aggravated the negative perception of the ROC among the Orthodox community in Ukraine. Given its close relations with the Kremlin, the ROC is increasingly viewed there as an instrument of political struggle and an exponent of the Russian government’s interests. The ROC’s stance has cast the UOC–MP, which has links with the Russian Church, in an unfavourable light, and has fostered its efforts to become more independent from the Moscow Patriarchate. Regardless of how the situation evolves, the recent developments in Ukraine have made it clear that the interests of the Russian Church and the Kremlin, which have coincided for years, now come into conflict, mainly due to the disagreement over the methods used. Despite this, the Russian Church is not withdrawing from the cooperation of ‘the altar and the throne’, and submits itself to the Kremlin’s decisions.

Modeling of Self-similar Traffic

Modeling of self-similar traffic is performed for the queuing system of G/M/1/K type using Weibull distribution. To study the self-similar traffic the simulation model is developed by using SIMULINK software package in MATLAB environment. Approximation of self-similar traffic on the basis of spline functions. Modeling self-similar traffic is carried outfor QS of W/M/1/K type using the Weibull distribution. Initial data are: the value of Hurst parameter H=0,65, the shape parameter of the distribution curve α≈0,7 and distribution parameter β≈0,0099. Considering that the self-similar traffic is characterized by the presence of "splashes" and long-termdependence between the moments of requests arrival in this study under given initial data it is reasonable to use linear interpolation splines.

Spectral analysis of seabed elevation from the Danish Wadden Sea

Bedforms both reflect and influence shallow water hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics. A correct characterization of their spatial distribution and dimensions is required for the understanding, assessment and prediction of numerous coastal processes. A method to parameterize geometrical characteristics using two-dimensional (2D) spectral analysis is presented and tested on seabed elevation data from the Knudedyb tidal inlet in the Danish Wadden Sea, where large compound bedforms are found. The bathymetric data were divided into 20x20 m areas on which a 2D spectral analysis was applied. The most energetic peak of the 2D spectrum was found and its energy, frequency and direction were calculated. A power-law was fitted to the average of slices taken through the 2D spectrum; its slope and y-intercept were calculated. Using these results the test area was morphologically classified into 4 distinct morphological regions. The most energetic peak and the slope and intercept of the power-law showed high values above the crest of the primary bedforms and scour holes, low values in areas without bedforms, and intermediate values in areas with secondary bedforms. The secondary bedform dimensions and orientations were calculated. An area of 700x700 m was used to determine the characteristics of the primary bedforms. However, they were less distinctively characterized compared to the secondary bedforms due to relatively large variations in their orientations and wavelengths. The method is thus appropriate for morphological classification of the seabed and for bedform characterization, being most efficient in areas characterized by bedforms with regular dimensions and directions.
