The balcony peer effect in urban political expression
Balconies have not been fully conceptualized and analyzed as a specific political scene with their singular scope and significance and governed by their own rationale. A recent effort to reverse this abandonment has insisted on their positive contribution to free political expression and to an urban version of deliberative democracy. This article identifies the “balcony peer effect”: an endogenous mechanism whereby eye-level visibility across nei…

Early dropout predictors in social sciences and management degree students
Student dropout is a major concern in studies investigating retention strategies in higher education. This study identifies which variables are important to predict student dropout, using academic data from 3583 first-year students on the Business Administration (BA) degree at the University of Barcelona (Spain). The results indicate that two variables, the percentage of subjects failed and not attended in the first semester, demonstrate signific…
The impact of English-medium instruction on university student performance
During the last two decades, universities around the world have increased the adoption of English-medium instruction (EMI) as a way to enhance internationalisation and global competitiveness. EMI adoption presents a wide range of opportunities, but it also presents some challenges, being one of them the potential impact on students’ academic performance. This paper analyses the impact of EMI on the academic performance of the students in a Spanis…
Dunning–Kruger effect and flat-earthers
This article aims to analyze the factors influencing belief in a flat Earth. We focus on Spain, a country that sadly has some of the most relevant figures on this topic in the Spanish-speaking world. After a qualitative analysis of YouTube videos on the main channels on the subject, a survey was carried out on 1252 individuals. The results point to two conclusions. First is the presence of a considerable Dunning–Kruger effect among flat-earthers.…
All things in their proper time and place
This article analyzes Toole’s novel from a causal perspective, focusing on the cause-effect dynamics that make the plot advance, from the initial event at D.H. Holmes until the outcome in the Night of Joy. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies has been applied to identify a series of 47 causal events that summarize all actions with an impact on plot development. Our research shows that the causal study of the novel is a usef…
Class participation and feedback as enablers of student academic performance
In an educational context focused on student learning, class participation and feedback are key to improving students’ performance. Class participation grading methods are often unclear and subjective, therefore, providing feedback on class participation grades is challenging for lecturers. In this study, the Work-In-Class Assessment Tool (WICAT) designed by researchers is a multidimensional system that grades class participation by assessing stu…

The “Cthulhu network”
In the context of popular culture, the work of Lovecraft deserves a prominent role, not only for its influence on many later authors, but for its profound impact on 20th century popular culture, from music and video games to films, comics, and merchandising. This paper analyzes the way in which Lovecraft developed his Cthulhu Mythos, creating a dense network of relationships between his different tales. After analyzing a corpus of 102 works by th…
Gender Differences in Mathematics Achievement
Previous research on the gender gap in mathematics indicates that, in the case of Spain, the gap is stable and has even increased during the last years both in primary and secondary education. The objective of this paper is to analyze whether this gender gap remains by changing the academic level and the way of measuring performance. A sample of 2,713 undergraduate management students (1,478 female and 1,235 male) has been analyzed. The results s…
One year of European premiers leadership and empathy in times of global pandemic
After over a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, we observe very different health and economic outcomes across countries. Has this also been the case for the communication of their leaders? Has the communication of the political leaders of most affected countries shown higher levels of sentiment? This study uses Twitter to test whether a sample of European leaders exhibited empathy in their unmediated communications, as advocated by neo-charismatic le…
La transformación de la ciencia ficción
La ciencia ficción como género literario ha estado en constante evolución desde sus orígenes, a principios del siglo pasado. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas esta evolución se ha acelerado, pasando de ser un género de corte conservador a adoptar enfoques más próximos al progresismo político (Oleszczuk, 2017). El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar si esta transformación se aprecia también en la construcción estilística de las obras y,…
El cronotopo en la space opera
En este trabajo analizamos las características propias de la novela de aventuras y pruebas que Bajtín identifica como uno de los tres tipos esenciales de unidad novelesca. La exégesis de este cronotopo nos revela un esquema muy similar al que aparece en un popular subgénero de la ciencia ficción, esto es, la space opera. Nuestra conclusión es que ambos cronotopos, el de aventuras y pruebas, y el de la space opera, son bastante similares, salvo po…
Hipertextualidad en Asimov
En este trabajo se lleva a cabo una cartografía de los elementos hipertextuales presentes en el cronotopo de la trilogía Foundation de Asimov, así como en sus elementos vertebradores. De este modo se pretende probar que su éxito se debe, al menos en parte, a la ingente presencia de relaciones hipertextuales, principalmente arquetípicas, que permiten una lectura a dos niveles. La lectura superficial es en sí misma satisfactoria, pero es la lectura…
Ciclos y élites
La repetición de patrones es, junto a la riqueza transtextual de su obra, un elemento característico en la literatura de Isaac Asimov. Ambos configuran un estilo muy particular, criticado en ocasiones, pero indu¬ dablemente interesante, pues permite una lectura palimpséstica que los aficionados al género de la ciencia ficción siempre han valorado. En el caso concreto de los patrones, hay dos que se repiten con gran frecuencia en sus distintos tra…
