The process of convergence with the European Higher Education Area led to the publication of the White Paper on the qualification of the Degree in Psychology (ANECA, 2005) in which an extensive analysis was carried out of the situation of university studies in psychology in Spain and guidelines were produced to adapt the degree to the European requirements. Ten years later, the present paper aims to analyze the implementation rate of the guidelines included in the White Paper, as well as to develop prognostic models based on the trends observed using time series analyses. The results show a constant and progressive increase in the educational training offered, the number of new faculties, and other closely associated indicators related to this growth. Different explanations and reasons for these results are discussed. We also reflect on the detrimental impact on job security amongst psychologists, the high unemployment rates, and the negative consequences for a sustainable model of professional development.

In this paper it has been presented the results about the study with high pressure steam schemes for the energy integration of a sugar mill with a pulp paper factory. The hypothesis for the integration is that it is possible to produce heat and electricity for both factories with the biomass of the sugar cane. This study includes the diversification of the production whit an ethanol factory for the pulp. The by bibliography, energy, material and cost balances are the main subjects for the best alternative of integration with high pressure schemes. The scheme with 61 ata and 440 °C was the best technically but not in the economic sense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to provide the physical bases that allow more accurate diagnosis of the conditions of paper machines for better maintenance. The diagnostic of the mechanical condition of press felts and rolls in the press section of paper machines using the classical vibration analysis is complex, so maintenance of these elements is done in a preventive and not predictive way. In this work a mathematical model that describes the dynamic behavior of the presses in paper machines is developed. Through numerical simulations, the motion equation of the proposed model is solved and compared with measurements done in industrial machines. It is concluded that the proposed model properly describes the vibratory behavior of presses and provides the vibratory symptoms that allow the diagnosis of the problems that they may have.

In recent years, experts from around the world have warned that printed newspapers may disappear in the medium term. In some cases, even specific dates were given. The proliferation of digital media and the paradigma shift in our society are usually mentioned among the causes of this disappearance, especially when it comes to the media. Focusing particularly on theSpanish case, this paper offers an alternative vision, providing evidence that it's not the first time a possible disappearance of printed newspapers is being discussed, that the Internet isn't the main reason for the crisis hitting the sector, and that newspapers aren't facing the worst crisis in thirty years. Although both printed newspapers and printed books could disappear in a still distant future, no concluding evidence points in that direction and this kind of statements are not to be recommended.

The article analyzes the speech of the Zig-Zag magazine in relation to the city of Arica, as a collaborator in a propaganda policy of Chileanization, in the context in which Peru and Chile must prepare for the Treaty that will resolve the geopolitical and sovereignty conflict over the cities of Tacna and Arica. From this perspective, the research question is: How do the reproduction and dissemination of the Zig-Zag's photographs collaborate, and what lies behind the news regarding the city of Arica between 1910 and 1930 in the construction of the Chileanizing discourse? From this city? In this line the news and photographic images of the Zig-Zag magazine referring to the city of Arica, referred to a systematic violence towards the Peruvian population of the area, focused on the invisibility of the original inhabitants and the negative and derogatory language towards the Peruvians. Granting an exorbitant relevance: to the actions of the Chilean State in the area, to the objectivity and rationality of its political authorities to resolve the conflict with Peru, and to repeatedly expose the Chilean army as the greatest military force prepared in Latin America.

The article focuses on the role of youth in public disturbances that took place during the early modern age in the autonomous community of Navarre, Spain, between 1512 and 1808. The author asserts that youth comprised the majority of public disorders in Navarre during this time period, followed by clergy members and professionals. Gangs and students were among the youth, and many of the disturbances can be contributed to a lack of responsibility due to young age and lack of employment.

From an historical analysis as well as considering the scientific, economical, social and political facts and consequences of scientific publications, a critical and updated review of scientific journals is made using a research perspective. It realizes the changes in the communication of Science, especially through twenty centuries. The historical analysis reveals that valuation of scientific knowledge, did not originate for commercial reasons, but responds to the political and economic evolution of society. The current situation of scientific publications reveals its enormous contribution to both knowledge and human development, but also inequities, social, economic and ethical conflicts.

A bibliometric study in which the publications were retrieved from the data base of Scopus. The bibliometric production indicators were: number of publications per year and type of publication. Brief original and original articles were considered as units of analysis based on number of authors, institutional affiliation, and country of corresponding author, type of research and study design. The impact indicators were: number of citations by publication according to Scopus, metric of impact, such as CiteScore, Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR), and SciELO Public Health. Results. A total of 1,045 publications were made by the RPMESP: 40.1% of publications corresponded to original articles and original briefs; 1,837 authors contributed with these publications; 134 institutional affiliations were declared by the corresponding authors; 48,0% were research works on determinants of a health problem; on the other hand, 90.5% corresponded to observational studies. The publications analyzed received 945 citations, of which 78.5% were for publications for the 2010-2013 period. Conclusions. Four of ten publications of the RPMESP correspond to brief original or original articles. According to diverse formulas of calculation, the impact metric of the RPMESP shows an ascending trend; however, their magnitude is lower versus other regional journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A model of a paper napkins winder based on Newton's second law is described. A method for controlling angular velocity with a splitter controller developed in a PLC to enhance the action of the controller present on a Siemens SINAMICS drive line is proposed. The tension is measured by a sensor and converted to current signal to be sent to the PLC Splitter in order to soften it before entering Sinamics PID controller to keep the process within the desired range of control. A simulation of the industrial application is performed by Matlab's Simulink® and validates the real controller design. Finally, obtained and verified control is implemented on a paper napkins processing machine, where the results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper is carry out a study about the quality of paper board 127 g/cm², which is produced from a mix of paper pulp and bagasse pulp, the latter boiled at a high pressure, approximately at 14 kgf/cm², and using as solvent 1.5-2.5 % of soda y 50% of ethanol. To evaluate the property CMT paper sheets were made in a laboratory. The CMT values were extrapolated at industrial level using the correlations obtained between the two levels of study. These correlations were determined from experimental study. In this work was shown that to use high pressure during the boiling in the organosolv pulping are obtained a paper board of a better quality than that of the paper obtained in the process where normal pressure is used.

In the digital age the ways of reading have experienced transformations that alter traditional dynamics and coordinates of space and time. For more than five hundred years the written language- printed and linear- has been characteristically at the epicenter of knowledge, leaving in a subordinate position other ways of acquiring knowledge. This paper describes the characteristics of digital reading, that establishes a first step toward a grammar of digital reading. Further, those characteristics are defined through cognitive, haptics and hipertextual issues. This paper emphasizes how screen reading does not aspire to compete with traditional reading because the past and present can be conjugated in new forms of cultural hybridizations. It also outlines an overview of the role of reading in the transmedia narrative. Understanding the aspects that interest the nature of digital reading is one of the ways to move forward with critical knowledge in virtual scenarios that offer us new possibilities of creation and access to knowledge.

This paper aims to point out some elements concerning the importance of the Essay in shaping Latin American critical thinking. To this end, it proposes to interweave two specific moments. Namely, the theoretical consideration of the epistemological value of the essay advanced by the Frankfurt School Critical Theory, and its particular function for Latin America, drawing on the historical context of Hispanic-American modernism, which covers the period of transit between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. What is asserted, by means of this relational procedure, is that the use of the essay, a form of knowledge linked to the process of European Enlightenment, was paramount to establish both the lines of action and the very particularity of this region, as well as to base what can be considered a form of Latin American critical thinking. Additionally, this paper argues that its use was a matter of historical awareness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diplomat, Egyptologist, writer and historian, Eduard Toda is remembered as the man who rescued the Algherese dialect of Catalan from oblivion and who helped rebuild the monastery libraries of Escornalbou and Poblet. On the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of his death, this paper reviews Toda’s book collecting activities, his general love of books and his outstanding work as a benefactor of libraries, which together contributed to enriching our country’s book heritage. The paper then turns to Toda’s relationship with the school for librarians the Escola de Bibliotecàries, which was founded thanks to his donation of a number of book collections to the Library of Catalonia. As recorded in the archives of the old Escola, this relationship was based on a number of different activities: Toda’s trips to Escornalbou, which also provided an opportunity for cultural study; his organization of periods of residence for student librarians at Poblet to help rebuild the monastery’s library; his creation of classes in book restoration in degree courses in librarianship; and the creation of a workshop for restoring library materials, which for many decades helped to link the Escola and the Library of Catalonia. Finally, as the article shows, Toda’s ties with the Escola de Bibliotecàries were reinforced by the mutual affection existing between him and the school as well as by the activities he organized with its students, which gave the school its singular nature as a place of study during the 1930s.

INTRODUCTION. This paper reports on the digital practices of 18 high school students' when taking notes with the text processor Word about the characteristics of on-line dictionaries--Spanish and English monolingual dictionaries and English-Spanish and Spanish-English bilingual dictionaries. The students explored the dictionaries and, in order to get familiar with them, they worked with the English verb get. The approach implemented refers to literacy in digital textuality. METHOD. The study contemplates the identification of multimedia resources and textual modalities in the dictionaries and the description of digital writing in the notes. Classification and textual analysis involves the informativity criteria identified in the dictionaries: language use, digital searches, textual designs, intertextuality sources, coherence and interactivity, as well as digital cohesion in descriptive and expositive writing, intertextuality by means of images, hyper links and lexical and graphic references. RESULTS. The notes show a predominant use of practical tools in the dictionaries in comparison to coherence and interactivity. They also evidence difficulties to integrate expositive and descriptive writing with digital modalities of intertextuality, hypertextuality and referentiality. DISCUSSION. Consideration and identification of various aspects of textuality in dictionaries show various degrees of intentionality and performance through digital and multimodal resources. However, teaching and practice support is necessary to fully appreciate the information, as well as the digital writing in notes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses distortions of scientific practices, generated from evaluation policies, from validation of scientific relevance or papers' production. The document suggests that over dimension of publications as a research final goal ignores other alternatives for evaluation of scientific relevance and research dissemination. In addition, as a balance of the distortion, this document proposes the progression Issues, Programs, Policies, Research (PPPI for his acronyms in Spanish). This strategy promotes research's use in educational practices and policies, and recovers user engagement in social and educational research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
