Key words: digital media, multimedia technology, climate change, cyber ecocriticism, pedagogy Ecocriticism in general has concentrated on literary texts and has relegated other types of texts, particularly digital and interactive texts which are those which arguably have the greatest influence and readership in the 21st century. Thus, the need for ecocritical study of digital media, which would combine the investigation of the rhetorical and narrative features both of websites as a totality and of their specific content, as well as reception and reader response analyses. Using the experience of a graduate course, the multiple benefits of this approach illustrates how the ecocritique of digital media can achieve numerous objectives in a variety of pedagogical situations and provide a way to integrate environmental issues into skill dominant courses.    Palabras clave: medios audiovisuales y digitales, tecnología multimedia, cambio climático, ecocritica cibernética, pedagogía  La ecocrítica en general se ha centrado en textos literarios y ha relegado otros tipos de textos, en particular textos digitales e interactivos que podría decirse que son los de mayor influencia y mayor número de lectores del siglo XXI.  Por ello es necesario el estudio ecocrítico de los medios de comunicación digitales, que combinaría la investigación de las características retóricas y narrativas de tanto las páginas web en su totalidad como de su contenido específico, así como de los análisis de la recepción y de la respuesta del lector. Usando la experiencia de un curso de postgrado, los múltiples beneficios de este enfoque ilustran cómo la ecocrítica de los medios de comunicación digitales pueden conseguir numerosos objetivos en una variedad de situaciones pedagógicas y proporcionar una manera de integrar los temas medioambientales en cursos predominantemente centrados en la adquisición de destrezas.

El cambio climático, sus causas y efectos suponen uno de los principales desafíos del siglo XXI. La enseñanza sobre este fenómeno constituye un reto para la formación de los/as futuros/as maestros/as de Primaria debido a la responsabilidad docente sobre la comprensión y posible adaptación a este fenómeno global. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: 1) Explorar y conocer los principales medios desde donde los/as futuros/as maestros/as de Primaria reciben información sobre el cambio climático; y 2) Reconocer las causas y consecuencias que se aluden en estos medios (según la percepción de los/as estudiantes) para identificar la concepción que se tiene sobre este fenómeno. A modo de estudio de caso se suministró un cuestionario al alumnado de último curso del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria (Universidad de Valencia, España). Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la principal información sobre el cambio climático que adquieren es desde los medios de comunicación digital (TV, Internet y Redes Sociales). Respecto a esa misma información, cabe destacar de manera general que las causas que se citan son la contaminación, y sobre las consecuencias, los fenómenos atmosféricos extremos (inundaciones, sequías), lo que deriva en una comprensión deficiente del fenómeno. Climate change, its causes and effects represent one of the main challenges of the 21st century. Teaching about this phenomenon constitutes a challenge for the instruction of future Primary teachers due to the responsibility for understanding and possible adaptation to this global phenomenon. The objectives of this research are: 1) To explore and know the main means from which future Primary teachers receive information about climate change; and 2) Recognize the causes and consequences mentioned in these media (according to the students' perception). As a case study, a questionnaire was provided to the students of the last year of the Degree in Primary Education (University of Valencia, Spain). The results show that the main information about climate change that they acquire is from the digital media (TV, Internet and Social Networks). Regarding the same information, it should be noted that in general the causes cited are the pollution, and the consequences, extreme atmospheric phenomena (floods, droughts), resulting in a poor understanding of the climate change.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo apreender como a mídia digital brasileira apresenta e interpreta dados sobre as denuncias de violência contra o idoso. A hipótese que move o trabalho é que determinadas categorias de violência encontram-se tão naturalizadas que sequer são abordadas pelos veículos midiáticos, tecnologias reprodutoras do discurso que estereotipa a velhice. Realizada mediante análise das notícias publicadas sobre as denuncias de violência contra o idoso divulgadas pela World Wide Web, abrangeu um período de 10 anos retrospectivamente. Notamos que, apesar de inúmeros esforços e da existência de legislações e políticas, pouco divulgadas, há muito que avançar para que os idosos possam se considerar cidadãos e sujeitos de direito.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Idosos; Violência; Mídia; Estereótipos.   ABSTRACT This research aims to understand how the Brazilian digital media presents and interprets data on the allegations of violence against the elderly. The hypothesis that drives such work is that certain categories of violence are so naturalized that they are not even approached by the media outlets, reproductive technologies of a speech that stereotypes old age. Carried out by analysis of published news reports of violence against the elderly divulged on the World Wide Web, retrospectively covering a period of 10 years. We realize that, despite numerous efforts and the existence of laws and policies, underpublicized, there is much to be advanced so that the elderly can consider themselves proper citizens and subjects of law.   KEYWORDS: Elderly; Violence; Media; Stereotypes.   RESUMEN Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar cómo los medios digitales brasileños interpretan datos sobre denuncias de violencia contra las personas mayores. La hipótesis que mueve la obra es que ciertas categorías de violencia son tan naturalizadas que ni siquiera están cubiertos por los vehículos de los medios de comunicación, los quales reproducen discursos que estereotipan a la vejez.

Sustainable Economic Growth

The 2018 Nobel Economics Prize was awarded to two American economists - William D. Nordhaus and Paul M. Romer - who designed methods for better assessing environmental issues and technological advances on growth. This year’s Laureates, Nordhaus was the first person to create an intergrated model to assess interactions between society and nature and Romer laid the foundation for what is now called endogenous growth theory. According to the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, these two macroeconomists’ research have helped “significantly broaden the scope of economic analysis by constructing models that explain how the market economy interacts with nature and knowledge” which integrates climate change measures into long-term sustainable economic growth.

La variabilidad climática es la norma que ha modulado la vida en el planeta. Este trabajo demuestra que las pesquerías y acuicultura costera ecuatorianas no son la excepción, puesto que tales actividades están fuertemente influenciadas por la variabilidad ENSO (El Niño-Oscilación del Sur) y PDO (Oscilación Decadal del Pacífico), planteándose que la señal del cambio climático debe contribuir a esta influencia. Se destaca también que, en el análisis de los efectos de la variabilidad climática sobre los recursos pesqueros, el esfuerzo extractivo también debe ser considerado. Por su parte, la acción actual de la PDO está afectando la señal del cambio climático, encontrándose actualmente en fases opuestas. Se espera que estas señales entren en fase a finales de esta década, y principalmente durante la década de los 20 y consecuentemente se evidencien con mayor fuerza los efectos del Cambio Climático. Palabras Clave: Variabilidad Climática, Cambio Climático, ENSO, PDO, Pesquerías, Ecuador. ABSTRACT Climate variability is the standard that has modulated life in the planet. This work shows that the Ecuadorian  fisheries and aquaculture are not the exception, since such activities are strongly influenced by ENSO variability (El Niño - Southern Oscillation) and PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation), considering that the signal of climate change should contribute to this influence. It also emphasizes that in the analysis of the effects of climate variability on the fishing resources, the extractive effort must also be considered. For its part, the current action of the PDO is affecting the signal of climate change, now found on opposite phases. It is hoped that these signals come into phase at the end of this decade, and especially during the decade of the 20’s and more strongly evidencing the effects of climate change. Keywords: Climate variability, climate change, ENSO (El Niño - Southern Oscillation) and PDO  (Pacific Decadal Oscillation); fisheries, Ecuador. Recibido: mayo, 2012Aprobado: agosto, 2012

A study of digital news on public libraries is presented through media mapping and a thematic and consumption analysis based on Facebook interactions. A total of 7,629 digital news items published in 2019 have been considered. The media mapping includes the evolution of the volume of news publications, the most prominent media outlets and journalists, and the sections in which most news items are published. For the thematic and consumption analysis, the top 250 news items with the highest number of Facebook interactions are considered, defining 15 thematic categories. The most published topics include: new libraries and spaces, collections, and libraries from a historical perspective. The topics that generate the most interactions are the value of libraries (social, human, and cultural capital), libraries from other countries, and new libraries and spaces. The value and originality of the current study lie in the measurement of the consumption of news and digital media through Facebook interactions. The methods used and results obtained also provide new knowledge for the disciplines of Communication and Media Studies by developing the idea of media mapping for its application to other topics and media in future work, as well as for Librarianship, particularly the information obtained on public libraries. Resumen Se presenta un estudio de noticias digitales sobre bibliotecas públicas en España mediante un mapeo de medios y un análisis temático y de consumo basado en las interacciones en Facebook. Se han considerado 7.629 noticias publicadas en 2019. El mapeo de medios incluye la evolución del volumen de la publicación de noticias, los medios y periodistas más prominentes, y las secciones en las que más se publica. Para el análisis temático y de consumo se consideran las 250 noticias con mayores interacciones en Facebook definiendo 15 categorías temáticas. Los temas sobre los que más se publica son: nuevas bibliotecas y espacios, la colección y las bibliotecas desde la perspectiva de su historia. Los que más interacciones y consumo generan son: el valor de las bibliotecas (capital social, humano y cultural), bibliotecas de otros países y las nuevas bibliotecas y espacios. El valor y la originalidad del estudio consisten en considerar las interacciones en Facebook como medida del consumo de noticias y medios digitales. Los métodos y resultados alcanzados aportan además nuevo conocimiento para dos disciplinas: la comunicación y los medios de comunicación, por el desarrollo de la idea del mapeo de medios que puede aplicarse a otros temas y medios en futuros trabajos; y para la biblioteconomía y la documentación, por la información alcanzada sobre las bibliotecas públicas.

The challenge of global climate change requires a radical change in our understanding of environmental issues, for its causes are linked to our dominant development model and its impact is significant at the grassroots level. Addressing energy production and consumption remains at the heart of any feasible solution. In this article, I define energy management (EM) as a systemic and systematic endeavor to optimize energy use through engineering and management tools in order to achieve political, economic, and environmental objectives. I also discuss what underpins EM’s ethical dimension, focusing on sustainability, and critically analyze the Islamic perspective to elaborate a value-based, universally acceptable, realistically applicable, and objective environmental ethic. By using EM as a vehicle toward sustainability, hence addressing climate change, I evaluate the outcomes of such a radical change in our understanding of environmental issues. I conclude by investigating whether a difference in vision with regard to faith and the hereafter can hinder a common engagement. Evidence is also sought from relevant specialist studies by non-Muslims, in which such Islamic principles as ordering the good and prohibiting the evil, ijmā‘, istiḥsān, istiṣḥāb, or istiṣlāḥhave been implemented to a given extent in all but name.

Experiences Of Women

This booklet narrates the stories of five female journalists from Pakistan who are working on environment- and climate-change-related issues. Women are being disproportionately and adversely impacted by climate change and female journalists are uniquely placed to understand and share their stories. However, these journalists are ‘missing in action’ from the media in sharing their experiences of environmental activism and climate action. The publication covers a range of challenges journalists face, from limitations on mobility and harassment, to gender-based discrimination in media houses. It highlights why environmental issues sometimes make headlines while remaining dormant at others.

La finalidad del presente trabajo consiste en realizar un análisis del Lawfare en Argentina a los fines de determinar si existen herramientas que -de regularse adecuadamente- podrían evitar este fenómeno. Se busca poner en tela de juicio la organización constitucional del poder, y para ello se analizarán algunos factores desde una óptica regional, ya que se considera al Lawfare como una maniobra colonialista que opera sobre países de la región. En este sentido, se propone analizar los elementos que confluyen para su realización. En primer lugar, un breve desarrollo histórico del accionar del totalitarismo financiero como un factor de dominación en la región. En segundo término, los medios de comunicación, la necesidad de su regulación y se examinan algunos ejemplos de reformas constitucionales latinoamericanas en las que se han incluido. Por último, la estructura del poder político en Argentina, haciendo principal hincapié en el poder judicial, ya que es una de las herramientas fundamentales para impulsar las prácticas de Lawfare.   Palabras clave: Lawfare, Colonialismo, Constitucionalismo, Argentina
