The main purpose of this research is to establish a theory on the evolution of the reading and writing of audiovisual characters through the examination of film scripts. To this end, it is based on the study of the classic dilemma of the character in the construction of drama. Three cases are used within the framework of the history of cinema in the 20th century. The methodology compares the scripts of Graham Greene, Paul Schrader and David Mamet, as well as the creative processes declared by these authors. It is concluded that the literary writing of audiovisual fiction characters goes through three stages in its construction: in a first stage, focused on the personality of the mental states of the protagonists, in a second stage, on the creative protagonism of the authors, and in a third stage, on the staging of the interaction between the characters. A possible explanation for this evolution would be related to the process called re-enchantment of the world, where the supreme values are efficiency, control, calculability and foresight, leaving a narrow margin for the possibility of magic.

The work is based on the analysis of the public notaries in Spain at the end of Modern Age, to focus, later, on his study within Extremadura. To do this work, we rely on the documentation of the interrogation conducted by the Real Audiencia (Royal Court) of Extremadura to all the towns of the province in the year 1791, in order to obtain sufficient information to carry out its functions. This questionnaire, among other topics, provides significant information about the notaries public and the fieles de fechos -which replaced the notary in many populations- which allows us to analyze issues such as their presence in the different populations, the tasks they performed, the salary they received, or their professional ethics. For this, a methodology of documentary analysis of the texts obtained through the use of a historical information system created to the object has been followed. All this allows us to show an accurate view of these professionals in the different parties that then composed Extremadura. Keywords: Notaries; Extremadura; history; interrogations; Real Audiencia de Extremadura; XVIII century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present research has two aims. On the one hand, to analyze the use of documentary techniques used in Spanish college radio stations belonging to the Association of University Radios of Spain (ARU), and on the other hand, to create a model of documentation center for these radio stations. The first objective is the methodology used has been quantitative, with a subsequent qualitative analysis of the data obtained; for it, an instrument validated and answered by the heads of university radio stations has been created. Secondly, the documentary method has been followed, in order to plan a specific documentation center for university radios, using for instance, the Information System promoted by the UNESCO Secretariat, that we use fundamentally. The main conclusions reflect the almost null importance of the stations to the documentation work, partially satisfied to certain tools and repositories located in the network in which to store and catalog generically the work generated. In the same way, the creation of a collaborative documentation center would mean the professionalization of these stations and the preservation of a valuable historical heritage for the university institution.

The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the documentary series belonging to the Delegation of the Cause of the Saints, corresponding to the diocesan archives of the Ecclesiastical Archives of Mérida - Badajoz. This Delegation, institutionally managed by the Episcopal Vicariates of the Archbishopric, is functionally responsible for the document management of the martyrdoms suffered by certain individuals as a result of the Spanish Civil War. Institutional analysis, archival techniques, and historical examination are the methodological resources that have been followed. As a result, specific series related to the cause of martyrdom are identified, which will allow us to comprehensively understand the personal files and related documentation of all those who were involved in the religious persecution of 1936, as well as provide researchers with possible lines of investigation based on their analysis.

Proactive outreach activities increase young people's interest in science and technology. Especially when combined with a tool of enormous pedagogical power such as radio. Over the course of a year, an experience has been carried out with a thousand primary school students from Extremadura called «Laboratory mice». From the perspective of scientific work, through workshops and radio programs, attempts have been made to measure the changes in the perception experienced in these students. To extract the results, this study has been based on a real experience developed in the schools themselves. Using a methodological tool based on surveys at the beginning and at the end of development, it has been possible to evaluate and measure that the perception of these two concepts varies positively among the participating children. They affirm that their interest in science has increased and their professional expectations change towards studies more related to the topics learned during the execution of the activity. Similarly, they vary their impression of the role of scientists in society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information and Communications Technology has enabled the transition from a traditional two-way radio to another, democratic and collaborative, with greater reach possibilities. This study aims to analyze the evolution of the Spanish university stations through Information and Communications Technologies in the past five years. The methodological approaches pursued were: the interview as a means to obtain the necessary information, the development of an analytical tool, collecting data through observation and direct exploration, and comparative analysis of the data. The results are analyzed focusing on three issues: broadcasting, interactivity, and switch and adaptation to the Web. In conclusion, Information and Communications Technology has meant the survival of the radio phenomenon in Spain in the last five years. In fact, one can see a continuous evolution of the station universities, althouth it is not always positive, since they have not taken up every possible potential that Information and Communications Technology has in the environment 3.0.

The Spanish seminaries have been educational centers of great relevance for the formation of children and young people since its constitution in the sixteenth century. For the tracing of a history of education in Spain, these ecclesiastical centers that bring new contents to the Spanish educational panorama cannot be left out. Within the various possibilities that these entities offer us, we show how the analysis of the documentation contained in their archives, as well as the bibliographical production collected in their libraries will provide new and very important data for the study of education in Spain from the 16th century to the present.
