YouTube se enfrenta en la actualidad a una multiplicación exponencial de contenidos que abiertamente amparan los discursos de odio. En el caso que nos ocupa, proponemos como hipótesis (H1) que el uso de contenidos simbólicos permite difundir una ideología yihadista en YouTube sin tener que ser particularmente explícitos en la promoción de un discurso violento. Se enarbola así una fórmula de enmascaramiento estratégico que permite sostener los productos online durante un tiempo considerable, logrando sortear las políticas de restricción de contenidos. Para verificar tal hipótesis realizamos el análisis simbólico de una pieza documental titulada «Heirs of Glory», difundida en YouTube hasta su posterior eliminación por parte de la operadora y producida por una organización yihadista conocida como Jabhat al Nusrah. Los resultados indican que un 74,04% de las escenas de la pieza muestran contenidos simbólicos de tipo yihadista, cuya exégesis religiosa favorece precisamente un enmascaramiento de la doctrina extremista.

El autismo en mujeres es un fenómeno de investigación relativamente nuevo, teniendo en cuenta que las investigaciones respecto al tema han estado centradas en hombres desde el inicio (Gould, 2017), relativamente hace poco que se tuvo en cuenta la existencia de las mujeres dentro del espectro autista, teniendo como consecuencia que las mujeres sean menos diagnosticadas aún en niveles similares de rasgos autistas (Leedham, et. al., 2019), además las expectativas sociales relacionadas al género han hecho que las mujeres autistas sean más propensas a enmascarar sus rasgos que los hombres autistas (Hull, et. al., 2019), lo anteriormente mencionado se añade a las razones de un diagnóstico tardío en mujeres. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer el nivel de enmascaramiento en una población de 37 mujeres autistas sin discapacidad intelectual y su edad de diagnóstico, así como presencia de síntomas de depresión y ansiedad. El estudio fue de tipo descriptivo y de corte transversal. Se realizó una entrevista semiestructurada para identificar datos sociodemográficos y detalles de diagnóstico. Se elaboró un cuestionario para identificar el enmascaramiento autista. Se aplicaron el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI; Beck 1988) y el Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI-2; Beck, 1996). Los resultados obtenidos indican que el 91.9% enmascaran los rasgos autistas; además, el 2.7% presenta diagnóstico de depresión, el 8.1% ansiedad y el 78.4% con depresión y ansiedad.

This paper proposes a Randomized Response methodology where the report may be produced by one of two procedures for scrambling. The sampler designs a Bernoulli experiment for deciding which scrambling procedure is to be used by the respondent . Then, the response is modeled by a two stage RR procedure. The interviewed selects one of the two scrambling procedures. The respondent gives the response without informing which procedure was selected. The model is developed for Simple Random Sampling and Stratified designs. The behavior of the proposed models is evaluated using real data of Mexico Covid19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se identifican las algas epibióticas en tres braquiuros que habitan en pocetas intermareales. Los braquiuros se recolectaron mediante buceo SCUBA y se le retiraron todas las algas presentes en el exoesqueleto. Se identifican 15 algas epibióticas sobre Macrocoeloma trispinosum (Latreille, 1825), Omalacantha bicornuta (Latreille, 1825) y Actaea bifrons Rathbun, 1898. Las especies más frecuentes son algas filamentosas y pequeñas de las familias Ceramiaceae y Cladophoraceae. Las algas Sphacelaria tribuloides y Cladophora catenate se identificaron sobre los exoesqueletos de las tres especies de braquiuros.

Cervantes y Machado de Assis, como sus dos principales novelas, El Quijote y Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, surgieron en dos momentos históricos y estéticos cruciales. Sus obras aportaron un nuevo planteamiento tanto en la estructura narrativa como en el tratamiento del propio autor. Por distintas razones, Machado y Cervantes decidieron ocultarse tras un personaje ficticio. Este enmascararse del autor obedece a una necesidad, ya que sólo desde un pretendido anonimato, así como del humor, ambos novelistas pudieron describir la sociedad en la que vivieron con mayor libertad.

The potential for wind energy facilities to affect species of grouse In the grasslands of the Great Plains of North America Is a conservation concern. Communication by male Greater Prairie-Chickens [Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) Is essential for lek mating displays and Includes low-frequency vocalizations that could be disrupted by wind turbine noise. We studied the effects of wind turbine noise on the boom, cackle, whine, and whoop vocalizations of male Greater Prairie-Chickens recorded at 14 leks located 703 m to 23 km away from a wind energy facility near Ainsworth, Brown County, Nebraska, USA, In 2013 and 2014. First, we assessed ambient sound levels at our study sites. Wind turbine noise contributed to the soundscape; leks <1,000 m from wind turbines had higher levels of ambient sound than expected on the basis of recordings obtained at remote locations. Our second objective was to determine whether the acoustic characteristics of the 4 vocalizations recorded near the wind energy facility differed from those recorded farther away. At leks within 1,000 m of the wind energy facility, boom and whoop sound pressure levels were higher (boom 2% higher; whoop 5% higher), boom duration was 3% shorter, whine fundamental frequency was 11% higher, and blphonatlons In cackle vocalizations occurred 15% less often. These differences suggest that male Greater Prairie-Chickens adjust the acoustic properties of their vocalizations In response to the sounds generated by turbines at wind energy facilities. The effect of the adjustments reported here on the mating success of males near wind energy facilities remains to be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We will study the use of Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) as alternative to SRSWR design when Saha's RR is implemented. Estimators of the mean are derived under 3 alternative ranking criteria. The expected variances are obtained and used for comparing their accuracy. The RSS alternatives are superior in terms of having a smaller sampling error than the SRSWR design..

Successful communication between a sender and a receiver is critical for coordinating behaviors between organisms. This coordination can be disturbed by anthropogenic noise, which has been shown to alter vocal signal production in many species of birds. In addition to affecting senders, noise may also alter reception and behavioral response. Here we investigated the effects of anthropogenic noise on behavioral response to acoustic signals in mixed-species flocks of songbirds. We used playbacks of Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) chick-a-dee calls and local anthropogenic noise to determine how receivers respond to calls with and without added noise. We found that the addition of noise caused a significant decrease of ~80% in the number of birds that approached the speaker during a chick-a-dee call playback; however, we saw no effect of noise on feeding behavior. Our data support the hypothesis that anthropogenic noise can alter behavioral responses to chick-a-dee calls. This finding is of particular concern because chick-a-dee calls are given in response to a threatening stimulus. If receivers are slow to respond to these warnings, they may be unable to take advantage of the warning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With an increase in mobile data collection through GPS and other location-based services, there have been a number of attempts to apply geomasking techniques to published route data in order to protect trajectory privacy. Yet, the utility of masked trajectory data and its value to transportation research remain in question. This study examines how the inferred route changes when origin and destination data are masked to protect privacy, as well as calculates the anonymity of each route traveled by a sample of New York City taxi cabs. It is determined that the routes between locations masked by random perturbation are significantly different from the original routes and that a network-based data product suppressing unique routes is a viable solution to release both accurate route statistics and protect confidentiality.

The virtual subject that circulates through network and lives their spaces has the opportunity to play his own identity or create masks from which to act and to meet other surfers. In the environment of apparent freedom of the new electronic medium, the possibilities of narrative representations fluctuate from the invisibility, masking and disguise, to the more "extimist" hypervisibility, going through all kinds of gradations of autofiction and collective identities. The present article analyzes different approaches of contemporary intellectuals with the aim of showing a panoramic view on the representation of the subject in the digital environment. The methodology for this study is the exploration of the different points of view from a practical and theoretical perspective. The results confirm the diversity of modes of identity generation in the internet network and the tendency to real or autofictional representations with the consequent exhibition of the identity.

Experimental studies are characterized by the assessment of effect of one or more interventions, usually comparatively with other intervention, or placebo; and the prospective nature of data collection and follow-up. Included in the term experimental studies, there are a variety of designs: Clinical trials (CT) and its variants, quasi-experimental studies and natural experiments. The aim of this manuscript is to report basic principles, characteristics and CT structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo presenta un nuevo tipo de estrategia retórica utilizada por la publicidad en la actualidad que está dando lugar a diferentes manifestaciones publicitarias, entre ellas la aparición de un nuevo tipo de publicidad, que hemos denominado neopublicidad. Esta nueva estrategia, que modifica los procedimientos retóricos seguidos hasta ahora por la publicidad clásica del siglo XX, se caracteriza por el enmascaramiento, que se sirve de recursos como el borrado de los marcadores de género, la hibridación y la fusión informativa. Este procedimiento tiene consecuencias sobre la manera en que el receptor responde al proceso persuasivo. Se ilustra la manifestación y finalidad de este fenómeno de transformación publicitaria en uno de los formatos publicitarios más clásico, el gráfico, donde hemos podido identificar tres tipos de neopublicidad: la publicidad integrada, el neopublireportaje y la publicidad autoreferencial. Estas nuevas estrategias son distintas a aquellas impulsadas en la sociedad de la postpublicidad, favorecidas éstas por las nuevas formas de comunicación resultantes de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, pero convergen con ellas en un marco social común donde la retórica publicitaria está evolucionando hacia nuevas formas de persuasión.

Young people today live in a media culture where the content they access and circulate through by means of different audiovisual technological devices is part of their informal education. In this context, the traditional advertising inserted into these media is giving way to new strategies through which advertising is masked within other content consumed by young people. They believe they are sufficiently well-informed to consider advertising's influence on them to be relative, and claim to be equipped with effective strategies that immunize them against it. However, as argued in this article, current advertising is implementing new persuasive forms that go unnoticed. We present an empirical investigation involving 154 students. Through an interactive computing device, the students processed a total of 223 stimuli corresponding to a graphic communication medium. The dependent variables include the degree of success in identifying the presence of advertising in the stimuli and reaction time. The results show how new masking strategies in advertising hinder young people's awareness that they are receiving advertising messages. This facilitates a failure to create counter-arguments. The results of this work open up the discussion of whether it is relevant to make known to young people, as part of their education and training, these current effective advertising strategies deriving from informal education systems.

Noise may drive changes in the composition and abundance of animals that communicate vocally. Traffic produces low-frequency noise (<3 kHz) that can mask acoustic signals broadcast within the same frequency range. We evaluated whether birds that sing within the frequency range of traffic noise are affected by acoustic masking (i.e., increased background noise levels at the same frequency of vocalizations reduce detection of vocalization) and are less abundant in areas where traffic noise is loud (44-57 dB). We estimated occupancy, the expected probability that a given site is occupied by a species, and detection probabilities of eight forest-breeding birds in areas with and without traffic noise as a function of noise and three measures of habitat quality: percent forest cover, distance from plot center to the edge of forest, and the number of standing dead trees or snags. For the two species that vocalize at the lowest peak frequency (the frequency with the most energy) and the lowest overall frequency (Yellow-billed Cuckoo [Coccyzus americanus ] and White-breasted Nuthatch [Sitta carolinensis ]), the presence of traffic noise explained the greatest proportion of variance in occupancy, and these species were 10 times less likely to be found in noisy than in quiet plots. For species that had only portions of their vocalizations overlapped by traffic noise, either forest cover or distance to forest edge explained more variation in occupancy than noise or no single variable explained occupancy. Our results suggest that the effects of traffic noise may be especially pronounced for species that vocalize at low frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A recurring problem in aging research is separating the effects of age per se from the effects of high-frequency hearing loss. One approach is to present test stimuli in the presence of a high-pass masker to control confounding differences in high-frequency audibility across age groups. However, there is evidence that such maskers may affect older and younger listeners differently. In this study, pure-tone thresholds were measured for younger and older listeners in the presence of high-pass maskers. The age groups were carefully selected based on similar unmasked thresholds at each frequency. Thresholds were measured in quiet and in seven masker conditions. Both younger and older listeners showed increased threshold shift below the masker passband as the masker level increased. The degree of threshold shift was not greater for older versus younger listeners. Results suggest that high-pass maskers may be used to reduce high-frequency sensitivity differences between younger and older listeners without introducing differential masking effects.
