The present study proposes an approximation to the theopoetics of Saint John of the Cross---to a poetry that is theological and to a theology that is poetic---from four points of view: 1) the meaning of the “substantial word” as an internal link that unites mysticism and poetry; 2) the prologue to the Spiritual Canticle which contains a true poetics of mystical literature, encompassing such fundamental aspects as experience, inspiration, the Biblical model and communicative efficacy; 3) the theopathic state which the author already describes in his first poem; and 4) the theological system of his poetry through some examples of thematic continuity taken from Romance, Pastorcico, Noche and Llama.

In the online politainment context, the use of political memes as a humorous and creative formula to configure the political image has become an increasingly common practice in electoral campaigns. Especially on the occasion of electoral debates, dissemination of political memes on social networks has captured the interest of scholars. This study takes into account the established political memes taxonomies and analyzes their persuasive capacity. Specifically, the research includes a quantitative analysis of the main memes spread on Twitter during the two electoral debates that took place in the 2019 electoral campaign in Spain: 4N and 7N. The study uses the perspective of integrated framing (textual-visual) and is based on the persuasive power of memes in relation to the importance of each of the elements of rhetoric (pathos, ethos and logos), with the aim of analyzing as well the consequences on its virality and repercussion on the social audience.

The refugee crisis has been a fertile ground for hate speech that has portrayed migrants as a dangerous threat and has been spread through social networks. While the media have unconsciously contributed to the proliferation of these racist messages, some have reacted by extending their traditional journalistic activity to the creation of newsgames to find new ways of addressing the situation. This study examines the use of five newsgames developed by leading media outlets using a methodology based on a multimodal qualitative analysis (informative and ludonarrative). The results showed that newsgames players have access to truthful information, as is the case for other journalistic genres, and draw on other types of personal and emotional information (circumstances, feelings, family ties). These data did not appear in isolation but integrated into the gaming experience. The study concludes by identifying the interaction between the levels of information and immersion of the newsgames that make up the sample, as well as their different gradation: giving the player the opportunity to make more significant decisions within the story allows for the introduction of nuances that promote empathy towards refugees; however, greater freedom in the gaming experience in newsgames distances them from the classic informational model and may involve a greater risk of distortion of the ideas that they seek to promote.

Framing processes are one of the preferred objects of study in the area of Communication, despite the frequent criticism regarding their theoretical and methodological strength. This study follows the proposal of Matthes and Kohring (2008) of the detection of frames through statistical analysis of clusters that operationalize the components as defined by Entman (2003) using framing elements. This is applied to the study of the electoral campaign on Facebook of the main Spanish political parties in the election of 28 April 2019. All messages published on this social network during the 15 days of the electoral campaign were captured automatically. The use of four large frames by the parties was detected, corresponding to events and political questions, request for vote, the rival party, and media treatment. The parties used these frames to different degrees: from the institutional and positive campaign of the PSOE, to the campaign aimed at criticizing the ruling party of the main opposition party, the PP, through the inclination towards media treatment of Unidas Podemos, or a focus on their own events and proposals by Ciudadanos and Vox. A negative correlation was detected between the frames most used by the political formations as a whole and the level of user engagement on Facebook, although the use of frames by PSOE and Unidas Podemos showed a greater parallelism with the levels of interaction in this social network.

The rise in the spread of fake news and its viralization have become one of the significant communication challenges of the 21st century in the face of the difficulty of establishing effective formulas to stop its spread. From this context, this research aims to analyze the critical-discursive capacity of newsgames that have addressed the phenomenon of disinformation and fake news: Bad News (DROG, 2017), Fake it to make it (Amanda Warner, 2017), iReporter (BBC, 2018) and Factitious (Augame Studio, 2017-20). To this end, a qualitative analysis methodology is used to explain its narrative structure, informative purpose and playful-interactive proposal. The results reflect a primary discursive strategy oriented to the role-playing of the players as creators, verifiers or disseminators of false news that responds to a wide range of topics (from political issues to those related to COVID-19). In this way, these games teach the dissemination strategies of this type of hoaxes and identify the motivation for their production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the creation and content of apps about Donald Trump (n=412) published in Google Play between June 2015 and January 2018. The relevance of the study stems from both its objectives and its methodology. On the one hand, the aim was to characterise the profile, motivations and purposes of the developers of Donald Trump apps; and on the other, to identify the main features of the discourses in the most downloaded apps. The study relied on two resources: a qualitative questionnaire of open questions for developers (n=376), and a quantitative analysis of the content of apps that exceeded 5,000 downloads (n=117). The questionnaire identified the influence of political current affairs in the developers' ideological and economic motivations, while the content analysis revealed the trends found over time, as well as the themes, discourses and ideological positioning of the most popular apps about Donald Trump. The findings provide an empirical basis for how the content of these apps was articulated with the news; the influence of content that went viral; hegemonic discourses; and the role played by developers of new expressive, commercial, informative and persuasive proposals in the intersection between mobile apps and political campaigns.

Spirituality is of constant concern to Pope Francis and constitutes an internal structural theme of his exhortations. From this perspective, our intention is to address the first and most important of these documents, Evangelii gaudium, because in addition to setting out the program for Francis's pontificate, it can also be regarded as a spiritual guide for our time, with very practical guidelines which lead to the experience of encounter and the discovery of the joy of the Gospel. These guidelines also offer stimulus and motivation for both the mission and the reform of the Church, as well as a response to difficulties by means of criteria for discernment of a practical and pastoral nature. They can therefore be summarized in three lines of action and in three fundamental concepts: experience, mission and discernment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work analyzes whether the cultural values of a language influence when processing information from a website and its effect on the perceived risk online, on the development of positive attitudes toward a Web site and loyalties on the service offered therein. We propose an information-processing model based on TAM in which perceived risk online is an antecedent and consumer loyalty towards the service is the ultimate outcome In order to achieve this objective and test the proposed hypotheses, a between-subjects experimental design was chosen, using one independent variable namely with two level: processing language (Spanish vs. English). The final sample comprised 264 Spanish users. Half the sample browsed in Spanish, and the other half in English. The results demonstrated that the cultural dimension 'uncertainty avoidance' moderates the effect of perceived risk on perceived ease of use and usefulness. Perceived ease of use or perceived usefulness influenced to attitude towards the website, depending on whether the language used to process the information on the site conveys cultural values with a shorter or longer-term orientation. Languages, as a cultural framework, didn't moderate the relationship between attitude towards the website and loyalty towards the tourist destination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In vitro embryo production (IVEP) has the potential to generate a large number of domestic animal embryos, as well as the implementation of other technologies from IVEP, such as transgenesis and cloning. The embryos produced in vitro are evaluated through morphological characteristics, but it is of great importance to determine if this evaluation corresponds to the viability of the embryos. The objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between the morphological evaluation and morula viability obtained in a single culture medium (SCM) or sequential medium (QCM) at 120 hours. The percentage of embryo division was 85 % in both culture media and morula percentage of 49 and 45 % for SCM and QCM, respectively (p>0.05). A higher number of quality one and two morulae was obtained in SCM compared to QCM (31 % and 44 % versus 13 % and 27 %, respectively) (p<0.05). It was not the same in quality 3 morulae, where SCM was higher than QCM (50 % and 18 %, respectively) (p<0.05). The total percentage of transferable morulae in SCM and QCM was 93 % and 90 %, respectively. The percentage of viable morulae was 98 % in both media, based on the number of viable blastomeres per morula, which were similar in SCM and QCM (14 ± 2 and 13 ± 2, respectively, p> 0.05). A positive correlation between the morphological quality and the viability of their blastomeres in morulae cultured with SCM and QCM (0.7415 and 0.7408, respectively) was determined. It is concluded that there is no difference between morulae obtained from SCM and QCM, but based on costs and embryons manipulation, SCM may be the best choice. The morphological evaluation of the embryos produced in vitro is a reliable method and the presence of vesicles in the blastomers did not affect the embryonic viability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Video games have become a valid methodological teaching tool that is highly valued by experts and teachers due to their interactive ability and proximity to young generations. But what do students think about video games? What is the relationship between students and video games? What educational capacities do video games have?. This article examines the main academic arguments on the educational capacities of video games and assumes that higher education students use video games for fun and pleasure rather than for educational purposes. A qualitative methodology based on indepth interviews of a sample of undergraduate students of audiovisual communication, media studies and journalism was used to collect and analyse the discourse models of students regarding their extracurricular relationship with video games. The data obtained permitted the analysis of items such as "the value of video games as a learning resource at university," "the utility of video games for developing manual and intellectual abilities," or "the role of video games in educational motivation," focusing particularly to the gender of the interviewees.

University rankings have become popular tools to evaluate the results of academic institutions. The existing proposals of rankings of universities in Spain, based on social networking sites, show some limitations related to their lack of coverage, their specificity, and their lack of transparency in the ranking definition. The goal of this work is to introduce a general design framework for coherent classifications to analyze the impact of all Spanish universities, both public and private, in four social networking sites: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The proposed framework is based on the definition of a criteria taxonomy, the selection of those criteria available in the four social networking sites, and the proposal of various kinds of indicators using them. To illustrate our framework, two case studies are developed evaluating the presence and influence of Spanish universities in Twitter and LinkedIn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital humanities (DH) have adopted various institutional forms in academia (centres, networks, projects, etc.). This study addresses the current state of the discipline through an analysis of DH centres, as reported by CenterNet. We analysed websites, missions, and the social media presence of the centres in order to provide an overall picture. Results show a remarkable heterogeneity in DH organisation. Finally, some of the most debated issues are discussed, such as the borders of the field, inclusion and exclusion issues, or a new cultural colonialism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research is focused on two fiction representations of the coup d'état in 1981, February 23rd in Spain. Specifically two series broadcasted in February 2009, namely: February 23rd: King's hardest day and February 23rd: the history of a betrayal. In this way, we assume not only the proposal that fiction is a useful instrument to rebuild historical memory, but also the concern that it is able to renew the perception of some social institutions.

This article offers an analysis of the sound construction of the figure of Francisco Franco through the discourse broadcast by Radio Nacional de España (the National Radio of Spain) during the Civil War and the first twenty years of the Franco regime in Spain. The purpose of the study is to determine the characteristics and evolution of the propaganda used to build the mythical figure of Franco adjusted to the political interests of the regime's propaganda apparatus.

This investigation analyzes radio audiences during the first Francoist period (1939-1959) and values the efficacy of official propaganda broadcast through the Radio Nacional de España (RNE: National Radio of Spain). The investigation uses various statistics and newspaper sources as well as the image of radio given by movies and comics at the time. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis we demonstrate that the drive to have doctrinal programming in news and entertainment in public radio led large audience groups -urban and rural, center and periphery- to find refuge in the evasion offered by private radio stations.
