El panorama televisivo español se encuentra, desde su pasado reciente hasta la actualidad, en el centro de un debate social y cultural. La audiencia, reclama ya, una reforma de contenidos que construya una televisión con mayor diversidad y equilibrio de contenidos. Esa audiencia alza la voz ante la evidente necesidad de recibir una televisión de mayor calidad. Pero, ¿qué está ocurriendo desde el punto de vista de las propias cadenas de televisión ante el panorama crítico al que se enfrentan? ¿Cuál es su reacción, sus estrategias y sus técnicas para crear una imagen positiva del propio medio? y, lo más importante para esta comunicación, ¿cómo están transmitiéndola al espectador para seducirle? Las cadenas de televisión han optado por replantearse su identidad con el objetivo de reformar la imagen que otorgan a la audiencia. Han comenzado a desmarcarse, a crear un posicionamiento diferenciador ante segmentos de audiencias que cada día son más exigentes debido a la saturación de la oferta. Uno de los instrumentos más efectivos para consolidar la posición de las empresas de televisión ante una audiencia cada vez más heterogénea y compleja, es el desarrollo de la continuidad televisiva, con formas discursivas peculiares como los cartones de continuidad, autopromociones, cabeceras de programas, sintonías, ráfagas, etc., que contribuyen a fijar la imagen de marca de las distintas empresas audiovisuales, ante los ojos del espectador. Esta comunicación se colocará en el plano de las televisiones como entidades para reflexionar desde el lado del medio televisivo ante los problemas emergentes, y analizar los métodos que están llevando a cabo las diferentes cadenas para crear ese posicionamiento que diferencie las unas de las otras, centrándonos en las autopromociones como la herramienta publicitaria más usada, hoy en día, por las cadenas de televisión. Los valores transmitidos, la imagen e identidad corporativas y, en definitiva, todos aquellos aspectos comunicativos que en las autopromociones se expresan, serán analizados para poder entender las reacciones provocadas por las cadenas del panorama televisivo español. En suma: 20 segundos de publicidad de autopromoción para que una cadena pueda transmitir una imagen nueva, llena de valores positivos para una sociedad que, hoy en día, cuestiona el propio medio. Concretamente y con esta investigación, se analizarán las últimas telepromociones de TVE-1, es decir, cómo esta cadena trasmite y crea valor de marca.

The development of food processing technology has increased the number and types of food products to meet human needs. The quality of a food product is not only seen from nutritional value and safety, but also from halalness aspect. For the purposes of quality control and halal authentication, the existence of a food testing method that is fast, accurate and easy to handling is needed. The application of electronic nose for various volatile compound detection purposes has been widely reported. This paper discusses electronic nose applications for quality control and halal testing purposes on food products. Furthermore, it also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of testing with an electronic nose. Based on the discussion, the electronic nose is a portable detection tool that is user friendly, fast and accurate for the identification and detection of food products based on the presence of the aroma of volatile compounds in the material.

ABSTRACT Every spill is different. This is the one globally accepted truth of oil spill response, and never more so than when responding on a global scale. The number of potential variables that combine to shape the event and the ensuing response are almost incalculable. Each incident produces a chain of events that must be analysed, assessed and acted on to build the most appropriate response with the effective application of the resources available. The amount, type and availability of such resources depend largely on the rigor and level of preparedness that the responsible party has put in place or that is required by the local regulator based on prescriptive criteria. This paper explores the risk based approach to the development of oil spill preparedness, allowing mitigating measures to be tailored to the specific risks faced and offering an alternative approach to that offered by the more prescriptive and generic volume based approaches. Advantages and disadvantages of the risk based method are discussed and then anchored to the tiered approach to preparedness. The author draws on first-hand experience of how both approaches translate from the ‘page of preparedness’ to the ‘field of response’. Using international case histories as a reference the author draws conclusions as to whether the inherent variation experienced in spill response should translate to a more flexible, bespoke and risk based approach to the development of a robust and resilient level of preparedness.

Teachers of high school geometry are confronted daily with the problem of making the subject as interesting as possible for their students. We teachers, of course, find the challenge of producing a logical deductive argument enough to keep us interested and motivated, but, unfortunately, it may be insufficient for our students. Perhaps sharing with them some of the history of the development of geometry, especially introducing them to some of the great mathematicians, will get them to appreciate the fact that mathematics is the product of human minds, created in response to human needs. Let us look at some of these early “giants” of geometry to see their role in the development of this field of mathematics and to note how each had a tremendous influence on the next generation of geometers.

Today, organizations have to give a positive image to their internal and external stakeholders. There is a need for a positive image for employees to strive for the benefit of the organization. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the perception of organizational image and organizational citizenship behavior of academicians. In order to address this objective the organizational image questionnaire which was developed by Uluçay (2012), and organizational citizenship questionnaire which was developed for higher education institutions by Taşçı and Koç (2007) were used. The questionnaire was applied to 340 academicians. The results show that organizational image perception of the academicians differs significantly according to gender and type of university. According to the findings, organizational image perceptions of female academicians are higher than male academicians, and it is found that organizational image of foundation universities is higher compared to state universities. Also, there is a significant relationship between academicians’ organizational citizenship behavior and certain variables such as age, vocational seniority and working year in university. As academicians’ age, professional seniority and working year in university increase, so does their performance of organizational citizenship behavior. The results show that there is a positive relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and organizational image.
