Las crónicas simultáneas, o live blogs, quebraron una limitación histórica de la prensa escrita al permitir informar sobre un evento mientras sucede. El presente trabajo se propone mostrar que este tipo de crónicas presenta importantes diferencias respecto de las noticias ordinarias, o crónicas retrospectivas, incluso cuando se producen luego del suceso que cubren. La extrema inmediatez respecto de los hechos y la capacidad de publicar actualizaciones periódicas confieren al texto una perspectiva temporal definida por la acumulación de múltiples observaciones parciales sobre su objeto. Esa situación enunciativa inhibe la adopción de una perspectiva de punto final y contribuye a generar un efecto de sentido de noticia en desarrollo, lo que redunda en un modo de construir el acontecimiento más fragmentario en comparación con las noticias tradicionales, y que la asemeja a la cobertura de los medios que emplean la toma directa como la radio y la televisión. Abstract: Simultaneous reports, or live blogs, overcame a barrier that existed in the written press since its beginnings: they made it possible to inform about an event as it happens. This article postulates that this kind of reports differs significantly from ordinary news pieces, or retrospective reports, even when they are produced after the event they cover. The extreme immediacy of the facts and the capability to post periodic updates provide the text with a temporal perspective defined by the accumulation of multiple partial observations of its object. This enunciative situation inhibits assuming an endpoint perspective and helps generating a strong sense of developing news, which results in a fragmentary construction of the event in comparison with ordinary news, and that is closer to the live coverage of radio and television.

This paper examines the electoral and ideological contest that has taken place between Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru in the five National Assembly elections that have been held between 1999 and 2016. Both parties have found success when they have managed to combine effective leadership with a coherent programme and a strong sense of Welsh identity. However, the Welsh vote to leave the EU in the June 2016 referendum has dealt both parties a poor hand in speaking up for Welsh interests. Can they find a common cause in working together and also with Scotland to take Wales forward in a progressive constitutional direction?

Internalism implies that rationality requires nothing more than what in the broadest sense counts as ‘coherence’. The earlier chapters of this book argue that rationality is in a strong sense normative. But why does coherence matter? The interpretation of this question is clarified. An answer to the question would involve a general characterization of rationality that makes it intuitively less puzzling why rationality is in this strong sense normative. Various approaches to this question are explored: a deflationary approach, the appeal to ‘Dutch book’ theorems, the idea that rationality is constitutive of the nature of mental states. It is argued that none of these approaches solves the problem. An adequate solution will have to appeal to some value that depends partly on how things are in the external world—in effect, an external goal—and some normatively significant connection between internal rationality and this external goal.

This chapter analyses the practical application of the law of belligerent occupation in internationalized armed conflicts in its temporal, geographical, and personal dimensions. Firstly, from a temporal perspective, the law is shown to apply once one of the conflict parties consolidates its control over the enemy territory and substitutes its own authority for that of the displaced enemy. Secondly, the chapter assesses the geographical scope of the applicable law and draws specific guidelines for the determination of the territory subject to the law of occupation in various types of internationalized armed conflicts. Thirdly, the chapter endorses the allegiance-based approach to the designation of protected persons under the law of occupation and applies it to the reality of internationalized armed conflict. Overall, the chapter presents a workable toolkit for the application of the law of occupation to internationalized armed conflicts.

Retrospective self-report assessments of adults’ childhood experiences with their parents are widely employed in psychological science, but such assessments are rarely validated against actual parenting experiences measured during childhood. Here, we leveraged prospectively acquired data characterizing mother–child and father–child relationship quality using observations, parent reports, and child reports covering infancy through adolescence. At age 26 years, approximately 800 participants completed a retrospective measure of maternal and paternal emotional availability during childhood. Retrospective reports of childhood emotional availability demonstrated weak convergence with composites reflecting prospectively acquired observations ( R2s = .01–.05) and parent reports ( R2s = .02–.05) of parenting quality. Retrospective parental availability was more strongly associated with prospective assessments of child-reported parenting quality ( R2s = .24–.25). However, potential sources of bias (i.e., depressive symptoms and family closeness and cohesiveness at age 26 years) accounted for more variance in retrospective reports (39%–40%) than did prospective measures (26%), suggesting caution when using retrospective reports of childhood caregiving quality as a proxy for prospective data.
