El artículo analiza los titulares de prensa de la revista Semana, con el fin de desentrañar la ideología promovida por esta con respecto al proceso de paz en los primeros cuatro meses del mandato de Iván Duque. Para ello, se identificó la forma como se presentaron y nombraron los diferentes actores del posconflicto, se analizaron las estrategias discursivas usadas en la revista, además del lenguaje retórico y sus implicaciones discursivas. El paradigma que guía el estudio es el sociocrítico con enfoque cualitativo. El tipo de investigación es el análisis crítico del discurso. El método de análisis e interpretación considera tres etapas: exploratoria del corpus, exploratoria descriptiva y exploratoria analítica. Se tomó un subcorpus de 23 titulares. Se concluye que en su discurso periodístico la revista crea una estructura ideológica sobre las creencias, las actitudes y los valores de diferentes actores, instaurando grupos de opinión a favor del proceso de paz y en contra de las posturas y decisiones del presidente que perjudican el proceso.

The lack of motivation in adolescents in educational and sports contexts affects their performance and well-being. Traditional teaching methods fail to engage their interest, resulting in suboptimal participation. This research explores the effectiveness of H5P interactive resources in teaching basketball to improve adolescent motivation. H5P allows the creation of interactive content, such as quizzes and videos, which make learning more dynamic and engaging. The objective of the research is to determine the effectiveness of integrating H5P resources in the teaching of basketball to adolescents, evaluating its impact on motivation using the PLOC-2 model. The study, with a descriptive-exploratory approach and cross-sectional design, combines quantitative and qualitative methods. The subjects are basketball players from the “CEBI” Educational Unit participating in the Ambato-Tungurahua School Games. In the quantitative phase, data are collected from 53 players aged 16-17 years through structured surveys to measure motivation before and after using H5P. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews are conducted with 12 17–18-year-old players, randomly selected from two different teams, to deepen their experiences with the interactive resources. The analysis shows that the implementation of H5P resources significantly increases student motivation. Quantitative data indicate greater interest and participation in basketball, and qualitative interviews reveal that students find the tasks more attractive and relevant, improving their attitude towards learning and sports practice.

Objectives: Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) legislation has now been passed in all Australian states. Although VAD has been operating in many settings worldwide for a considerable time, the specific costs associated with VAD seem unclear. The aim of this study was therefore to outline the common resource implications associated with VAD. Methods: A rapid literature review and grey literature search were undertaken. Results: We found a paucity of empirically informed detail regarding the actual costs required to implement VAD. Hence, we tabulated a list of potential costs that could be used for subsequent evaluation and a future research agenda. Conclusions: There is a lack of publicly available information related to the costs associated with implementing VAD. Given that this is a significant change in policy and many multidisciplinary practitioners may be directly or indirectly involved in VAD it is important that associated costs are clearly outlined so that appropriate resources can be allocated. What is known about the topic? Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) legislation has now been passed in all Australian states. Although VAD has been operating internationally for a considerable time, there have been calls for more data to understand the resources required to implement VAD. What does this paper add? We found a paucity of empirically informed detail regarding the actual costs required to implement VAD. Hence, we tabulated a list of potential costs that could be used for subsequent evaluation and outline a research agenda. What are the implications for practitioners? Given that a significant number of practitioners may be directly or indirectly involved in VAD it is important that associated costs are clearly outlined so that appropriate resource allocation can be considered.

La presente investigación está centrada en describir la percepción del estado del patrimonio gastronómico y cómo este patrimonio ha influido en el desarrollo sostenible del cantón Santa Elena, de la provincia de Santa Elena-Ecuador, para el desarrollo de un modelo funcional teórico que explique el desarrollo sostenible en función del patrimonio gastronómico local. El estudio es una investigación básica-proyectiva, con un diseño no experimental, transversal y niveles de conocimiento descriptivo, explicativo, predictivo con análisis de regresión logística ordinal. El tamaño de la muestra de la población de Santa Elena fue de 384 personas a las cuales se les aplicó dos instrumentos de recolección de información: el primer instrumento, referente al patrimonio gastronómico, cuenta con 21 ítems, y el segundo instrumento, referente a desarrollo sostenible en virtud del patrimonio gastronómico, 22 ítems. Se pudo describir el estado del patrimonio gastronómico con una percepción ciudadana del 60 % como fuerte, pero con dos de sus dimensiones con menor incidencia, éstos son el conocimiento y la organización. Así también, el estado del desarrollo sostenible donde el 84 % lo describen como débil o regular, teniendo más deficiencia el desarrollo ambiental y económico. Se evidencia la influencia del patrimonio gastronómico sobre el desarrollo sostenible en un 77,1 %. El modelo queda constituido por varios elementos del patrimonio gastronómico y ellos son: dimensiones de organización, conocimiento, simbólico y emotivo, que permitirán desarrollar la política pública local para fomentar el desarrollo sostenible en virtud del patrimonio gastronómico constituido por once artículos.

El siglo XIX estuvo caracterizado por el surgimiento de nuevas fuerzas materiales, políticas, demográficas e intelectuales que habrían impulsado la realización de viajes alrededor del mundo, incursiones a territorios inhóspitos como el paso hacia el Nuevo Continente que ha marcado la historia, y ha dejado extensos compilados sobre relatos de experiencias, sentimientos, travesías, puntos de vista e impresiones de los viajeros. Este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar las motivaciones de los viajeros procedentes de Francia, Alemania, España e Inglaterra hacia Ecuador en el siglo XIX. Para este fin se realizó un análisis retrospectivo basado en la revisión bibliográfica profunda de fuentes primarias y secundarias en repositorios bibliográficos nacionales como de los países en cuestión, para posteriormente proceder a esquematizar dicha información en matrices de resumen, donde además de la motivación se tomó en cuenta el registro de los datos personales de cada viajero, como nacionalidad y ocupación, para finalmente lograr una segmentación de seis tipologías de motivación de elaboración propia. Los resultados preliminares, tras seis meses de trabajo, indican que la mayoría de los viajeros se trasladaban por motivos laborales, siguiendo un rasgo colectivo de conocer sitios descritos como exóticos, por un pensamiento propio de la época influenciado por el deseo de explorar “lo otro”. De igual manera destacan los viajeros por motivos académicos, por la ciencia, por el arte, diplomacia, por comercio, emisarios de científicos, recolectores de especímenes naturales y hasta visitas accidentales.

Fully polarized light, cylindrical vector beams, and beams with opposite orbital angular momentum (OAM) and their superpositions are respectively represented as points on the Poincaré sphere (PS), the higher-order Poincaré sphere (HOPS) and the OAM Poincaré sphere (OAMPS). Here, we study the mapping of inner points between these spheres, which we regard as incoherent superpositions of points on the surface of their respective sphere. We obtain points inside the HOPS and OAMPS by mapping incoherent superpositions of points on the PS, i.e., partially polarized states. To map points from the PS to the HOPS, we use a q-plate, while for mapping points from the HOPS to the OAMPS, we use a linear polarizer. Furthermore, we demonstrate a new polarization state generator (PSG) that generates efficiently partially polarized light. It uses a geometric phase (GP) blazed grating to split an unpolarized laser into two orthogonal polarization components. An intensity filter adjusts the relative intensity of the components, which are then recombined with another GP grating and directed to a waveplate, thus achieving every point inside the PS. The proposed PSG offers advantages over other methods in terms of energy efficiency, ease of alignment, and not requiring spatial or long-time integrations.

A concepção da tradução como campo individualizado dentro dos estudos das linguagens é bastante recente e cada vez mais se atentam para as dificuldades intrínsecas ao processo pouco percebidas pelo leitor comum. Em se tratando da tradução literária, as peculiaridades que surgem são de tal forma acentuadas, que levaram pensadores a questionar através dos anos se a tradução de textos literários seria sequer possível. Considerando um referencial teórico acerca da literatura como expressão de subjetividade e a mensagem inserida no texto literário, este trabalho visa discutir em que medida a literatura, de fato, pode ser traduzida ou o que significa traduzir a literatura. Ao final do artigo concluímos que o texto literário em toda sua pluralidade, enquanto comunicação e enquanto arte, precisa ser visto como sendo composto de diferentes dimensões que surgem pelo diálogo entre a subjetividade do autor e do leitor. Em cada texto algumas dessas dimensões são mais facilmente traduzidas que outras e, em alguns casos, de fato parecem ser intraduzíveis, onde entraria exatamente a tarefa criativa do tradutor.

Based on the foundation of the frontal and side collision warning systems, the Frontal Collision Warning System (FCWS) and Side Collision Warning System (SCWS) teams joined efforts to improve the collision warning algorithms. The objective of the ICWS Program is to study how frontal and side collision warning system might interface with each other, and to develop prototype ICWS systems on two buses, one at Samtrans and the other at PAT. The prototype ICWS buses have been in revenue operation in the Bay Area and Pittsburgh to collect field operational data and driver responses. The results of the ICWS design, build, and integration efforts as well as an analysis of early data collections to evolve the warning algorithms are documented in this final technical report. Evaluation and performance analysis are currently being finalized and will be issued in a separate report.

This evaluation report examines the performance of the Integrated Collision Warning System prototype developed by the University of California PATH Program and the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute. The evaluation was based on testing the sensors, processing algorithms, and driver-vehicle interfaces in both controlled and real world operational environments. Evaluation metrics and methodologies were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. The effort for this evaluation was based on the following tasks:Task 1: Develop Evaluation ScenariosTask 2. Perform Closed Course System Testing Under Controlled-EnvironmentTask 3. Conduct Detection AnalysisTask 4 Analyze Driving Behavior DataTask 5 Surveys and Interviews

This project was created in order to continue progress toward a future in which vehicle automation technologies are able to improve transportation operations.  In the wake of the termination of the National Automated Highway Systems Consortium (NAHSC) program in 1998, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) created The Phoenix Project to bring together the organizations that remained interested in this future vision.  The discussions within The Phoenix Project focused on the opportunities that could be gained from earlier deployment of automation technologies on transit buses and heavy trucks, as compared to passenger cars.  PATH was already doing intensive research and testing on automation of one heavy truck, which provided a starting point for further work.

This study explores and describes the state-wide needs of the first 1000 calls to the newly established Victorian Palliative Care Advice Service (PCAS). A retrospective analysis investigated calls from the Victorian general public (n = 618 calls) and healthcare professionals (n = 382 calls) to PCAS between 26 May 2020 and 24 October 2022. Caller demographics, disease type, reason for call, and perceived utility of service were described. Most calls were from members of the public (62%) and related to malignant conditions (41%). Regional/rural clients comprised 45% of all calls to the service, of which half (50%) were health professionals seeking advice on symptom management and medication. One-third (29.3%) of all calls from health professionals were escalated to a palliative care medical consultant. PCAS prevented calls to emergency services in 10% of cases, and 82% of callers reported their issue was 'very much' or 'completely' addressed by PCAS. PCAS was shown to be frequently used by the public and healthcare professionals supporting patients with advanced, life-limiting illnesses. The service provided a solution without requiring complex technology, delivering a rapid connection for consumers with specialist palliative care expertise that might otherwise be unavailable, particularly in regional areas.
