Abstract New excavations carried out at Cova de les Malladetes confirm and improve previous information on the archaeological sequence of this site. A total of 29 new dates allow to specify the chronology of the Aurignacian (levels XIVA–XII) and Gravettian (levels XI–VII). Furthermore, concerning the results obtained during the 1970 excavation, three new levels were identified: level XIVB, which represents a short temporal human occupation hiatus, and levels XV and XVI with some hearths and anthropic evidence, although the lithic material does not permit a cultural attribution. This paper presents data obtained from the analysis of archaeobotanical, micro- and macrofaunal assemblages and lithic and osseous industry. Results are relevant concerning the palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental characterisation of the Early Upper Palaeolithic, as well as for assessing the human occupation patterns during the Gravettian and Aurignacian. Moreover, we evaluate the chronological implications of the basal levels (XIVB, XV and XVI), drawing attention to the absence of an important temporal gap between this phase and the start of the Early Upper Palaeolithic at the site. Finally, our new data extend the information provided by other sites in the Spanish Mediterranean region, allowing a more defined characterisation of the Early Upper Palaeolithic, especially regarding the Evolved Aurignacian chronology and its techno-typological structure, with the presence of Roc-de-Combe subtype Dufour bladelets.

El presente texto ofrece un estudio exploratorio acerca de la percepción que dos grupos de estudiantes universitarios, uno de ellos con formación musical y el otro sin ella, tienen sobre el sistema modular de creación sonora colaborativa, ‘Soundcool’ en el ámbito de la formación inicial de profesorado. La muestra participante está compuesta por 66 alumnos del Título de Grado de Maestro pertenecientes a dos universidades españolas, la Universidad de Valencia y la Universidad de Cantabria. El instrumento utilizado para la recogida de datos ha sido un cuestionario que consta de cinco secciones y validado por un grupo de expertos de las áreas de Didáctica de la Expresión Musical y Didáctica y Organización Escolar de diferentes universidades españolas. Los resultados confirman que ‘Soundcool’, independientemente de la formación musical de los grupos participantes, es percibida como una herramienta tecnológica altamente valorada y que puede contribuir al desarrollo de ciertas competencias docentes de índole intrapersonal e interpersonal; concretamente, aquellas relacionadas con el desarrollo creativo, el trabajo colaborativo y la innovación, fundamentales en el desempeño profesional del futuro maestro. Asimismo, en las conclusiones se realizan varias aportaciones en relación al uso de la herramienta, que nos invitan a continuar investigando en diferentes contextos musicales educativos, tales como escuelas de música y conservatorios.

The biography of Luisa, a teacher participating in the dialogic pedagogical gatherings of Valencia, allows us to analyze those elements associated with these Dialogic Gatherings (DGs) that made it possible to radically transform Luisa’s feelings and thoughts, becoming a protagonist in the socio-educational movement in Valencia. This biographical study under a communicative approach shows how the gatherings led Luisa to initiate a process of transformation, not only becoming a happier and freer person, but also to dream of utopias of social creation. In this communicative biography, the key elements that enable teachers such as Luisa to become capable of leading educational movements based on validity claims, equality, and commitment to high quality education for all children are analyzed.

Objetivo: estudiar la relación existente entre la religiosidad, los valores y el razonamiento moral prosocial de estudiantes de secundaria. La primera hipótesis que se pretende comprobar es si la religiosidad es capaz de predecir algún tipo específico de razonamiento moral prosocial (RMP). La segunda hipótesis trata de investigar si la religiosidad está relacionada con los valores de la escala de Rockeach. Metodología: la muestra utilizada está compuesta por 421 adolescentes de entre 13 y 18 años. Se han llevado a cabo modelos de regresión múltiple y pruebas MANOVA. Resultados: según los modelos de regresión múltiple, se concluyó que los estudiantes que dan menos importancia a Dios en sus vidas presentan significativamente un mayor nivel de razonamiento hedonista. Conclusiones: las MANOVA permitieron concluir que la religiosidad se relaciona significativamente con la elección de los valores “ser independiente”, “ser intelectual” y “tener una vida confortable”. © Universidad Católica Luis Amigó - Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.

BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disabling disorder associated with high interference in people's lives. However, patients with OCD either do not seek help or delay seeking help. Research suggests that this could be explained by poor mental health literacy about the disorder and the associated stigma. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a mental health mobile app, esTOCma, developed to improve knowledge about OCD and its treatment, increase help-seeking intention, and reduce stigmatizing attitudes and social distance associated with OCD. METHODS: We used preintervention, postintervention, and 3-month follow-up assessments in this single-arm pilot intervention. Overall, 90 participants were recruited from the community using the snowball sampling method. We used esTOCma to defeat the "stigma monster" over the course of 10 missions. The participants completed the sociodemographic information and Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised at preassessment and an acceptability questionnaire at postassessment. All other measures were completed at the preassessment, postassessment, and 3-month follow-up (ie, the Spanish Mental Illness Stigma Attribution Questionnaire-27, the General Help-Seeking Questionnaire, the Social Distance Scale, and the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire). RESULTS: Of the 90 participants from the community that were assessed for eligibility, 86% (n=78) were allocated to intervention. Of these 78 participants, 79% (n=62) completed the game and answered the postintervention assessment (completer group). Overall, 69% (43/62) of the participants also completed the 3-month follow-up assessment. The participants completing the study were older (P=.003) and had a higher baseline knowledge of OCD (P=.05). The participants took an average of 13.64 (SD 10.50) days to complete the intervention, including the pre- and postassessments. The participants spent an average of 4.56 (SD 3.33) days completing the 10 missions included in the app. Each mission took a mean of between 2 (SD 3.01) and 9.35 (SD 3.06) minutes. The app was rated as useful or very useful by the vast majority of participants 90% (56/62). Moreover, 90% (56/62) of the participants reported that they had learned or learned a lot, and 98% (61/62) of the participants reported that they would recommend the app to a friend. Repeated measures ANOVA (43/62, 69%) showed that after the intervention participants showed an increased knowledge of mental health and intention to seek help as well as fewer stigmatizing attitudes and less social distance. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary data show that esTOCma is a feasible and acceptable app, and after completing its 10 missions, there is an increase in the understanding of OCD and help-seeking intention along with a decrease in the social stigma and social distance associated with OCD that lasts for at least 3 months. The results support the potential of technology-based interventions to increase the intention to seek help and reduce the stigma associated with OCD. A larger, community-controlled study is also recommended.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) states that all available information is immediately reflected in the price of any asset or financial instrument, so that it is impossible to predict its future values, making it follow a pure stochastic process. Among all financial markets, FOREX is usually addressed as one of the most efficient. This paper tests the efficiency of the EURUSD pair taking only into consideration the price itself. A novel categorical classification, based on adaptive criteria, of all possible single candlestick patterns is presented. The predictive power of candlestick patterns is evaluated from a statistical inference approach, where the mean of the average returns of the strategies in out-of-sample historical data is taken as sample statistic. No net positive average returns are found in any case after taking into account transaction costs. More complex candlestick patterns are considered feeding supervised learning systems with the information of past bars. No edge is found even in the case of considering the information of up to 24 preceding candlesticks.

La formación dialógica permite superar algunos de los retos más importantes que presenta la formación docente en España: la promoción de modelos de formación más democráticos y ajustados a criterios de calidad científica y humana, con el fin de maximizar su impacto en la mejora del alumnado.

Spain is a country with a vast folklore tradition characterized by deep regional contrasts. The role of folklore museums as a nationalizing tool of the central government and by regional governments (e.g. Catalan and Basque) to support a diversity of projects for identity construction requires renewed analysis. Examined here is the history of the Museo del Pueblo Español (MPE), a national folklore museum created during the Second Republic (1931–1939) to broadcast the wealth of folkloric tradition within the country. Currents of change in national politics during the 20th century have re-oriented the MPE depending on the contrasting perspectives of Spanish identity that prevailed at different times in the past. In Catalonia and the Basque country, where identity claims have been repeatedly asserted since the 19th century, folklore heritage and its representations were seen by nationalist political movements as useful platforms to support a message of ‘difference.’ We propose to use Tony Bennett’s concepts of the museum as an ‘exhibitionary complex’ and ‘governmental assemblages’ to further clarify the evolution of folklore museums and their role in the development of identity politics in Spain.

BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive (OC) disorder is a debilitating disorder with a high delay in help-seeking that could be associated with two barriers that may differ between OC content dimensions: public stigma and mental health literacy. OBJECTIVES: We aim to describe and analyze the differences among OC content dimensions in public stigma, social distance desire, mental health literacy, and help-seeking intention in a sample of the mental health-naïve population. METHODS: A total of 487 participants from the Spanish community with no previous knowledge of or experience with OCD were randomly allocated one of six vignettes describing a person with OC symptoms of one out of six contents (i.e., aggression/harm; sexual; religious/blasphemous/immoral; contamination/washing; doubts/checking; or superstition/symmetry/order). After reading the vignette, participants completed the following questionnaires associated with their vignette: Attribution Questionnaire, General Help-Seeking Questionnaire, Social Distance Scale, and Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire. RESULTS: There were significant differences among OC content dimensions on the variables of interest. Aggression/harm OC content was associated with the highest public stigma and discriminating desire, and together with the religious/blasphemous/immoral OC contents were associated with the highest social distance desire. Although no differences appear between contents on intention to seek for formal treatment, participants would request less informal support for their sexual OC content than for the other categories. Contamination, doubts/checking, and superstition/symmetry/order OC contents were more frequently identified as OCD, although only around 50% or less of the sample identified the sexual, superstition/symmetry/order, doubts/checking, and religious/blasphemous/immoral OC contents as a mental health problem. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions to reduce stigma and increase help seeking are necessary and should consider OC heterogeneity.

Esta investigación diseña, aplica y evalúa un proyecto de Aprendizaje Servicio (ApS) de canto coral intergeneracional (alumnado de Educación Secundaria y mayores de una residencia de tercera edad en una primera propuesta) para estudiar su efecto en cuestiones de aprendizaje y calidad de vida. La metodología cualitativa, mediante la investigación-acción, plantea dicho estudio a través de la réplica del proyecto inicial en cuatro centros durante dos años consecutivos. Tras el tratamiento de datos y el análisis de resultados, afloran temas recurrentes en todas las personas que participaron. Se evidencia la pertinencia del canto coral en la Educación Secundaria como elemento clave para el desarrollo emocional y personal del alumnado adolescente, la práctica educativa del ApS como facilitadora de esta actividad, el enriquecimiento que supone la relación intergeneracional y los beneficios personales, profesionales y sociales que aporta el proyecto.

Abstract The body is at the forefront of the relationship between space and sexuality, and its materiality is the basis on which social and individual conceptions of sex and gender are constructed. In this paper, we use the notion of body borders to approach the way trans persons experience heteronormativity in their bodies. Defined as those elements placed on body physicality that produce social distinctions and reorganize people's social conditions, body borders are important in the processes of sex differentiation and gender oppression that negatively affect trans persons’ processes of identification/disidentification. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 10 of 43 trans persons from a wider study, who expressed their gender identities at different levels of intensity, we differentiate between four important body borders: man/woman, puberty, inside/outside and liminal zone. The findings reveal that body borders rely to a great extent on the gaze of others and are problematic for trans persons, especially at the beginning of their transition processes, or when their bodies are perceived as more androgynous. Although the experience of body borders is oppressive and causes conflicts to trans persons, they do not impede them from opening up possibilities for new models of transgender identities which defy non-heteronormative ideals and subvert the current gender regulation, which supports these borders.

En el Archivo de Música de las Catedrales de Zaragoza (EZac) se guarda un importante corpus de sonatas de D. Scarlatti constituido por seis manuscritos del siglo XVIII cuyo origen se localiza en la Capilla Real y que pertenecieron a José de Nebra, el compositor español más relevante de la corte en tiempos del compositor italiano. Dos de estos manuscritos formaron parte, a su vez, de una tercera gran colección de sonatas cuya elaboración se inició con anterioridad a la copia de los volúmenes que hoy se conservan en Venecia y Parma, y corrió también a cargo del escriba principal. Dada la relevancia de las conclusiones obtenidas en mi tesis doctoral, puede afirmarse que el fondo documental de Zaragoza es un referente internacional de primer orden para continuar avanzando en el estudio de la música para teclado de D. Scarlatti.

Se presentan los resultados del análisis palinológico efectuado sobre sedimentos del Pleistoceno superior en la desembocadura del río Millars, que han permitido detectar un episodio frío que interrumpió la vegetación presente en la zona y ejerció un efecto de debilitamiento sobre el caudal del río. La presencia de polen de arbustos termófilos constata la importancia del litoral castellonense como zona refugio durante el último máximo glacial. La interpretación paleoclimática está basada en la variación de los porcentajes de <em>Pinus, Juniperus</em>, arbustos mesotermófilos y elementos acuáticos.

El deporte juega un papel fundamental en la sociedad contemporánea en tanto articulación de las ansias e ilusiones de una destacada parte de la ciudadanía. Su introducción progresiva a través de los medios de comunicación ha generado desde el siglo XIX un interesante relato dotado de un rico lenguaje específico. El siguiente estudio realiza un análisis acerca de la construcción del relato deportivo en los medios de comunicación valencianos entre 1893 y 1936. Para ello, revisará los principales hitos en la configuración de la prensa deportiva en Valencia y presta atención a los subgéneros periodísticos más interesantes (gacetilla, crónica, comentario, aleluya...) así como a la lengua utilizada en los mismos.
