TL;DR: Antibodies to basement membrane in the sera of patients with bullous pemphigoid were used to study the basement membranes in epithelial tumors, finding that Anaplasia, viral change as in verruca, and basal cell proliferation are respectively related to absence, increase, and defective basement membrane production.
Abstract: Antibodies to basement membrane in the sera of patients with bullous pemphigoid were used to study the basement membrane in epithelial tumors. Monospecific fluorescein conjugate of IgG was used to detect the antibody fixation. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin was notable for absence of basement membrane related to anaplasia. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip and vulva had well-preserved basement membrane despite deep invasion of the subcutaneous tissue. In verruca, basement membrane surrounded individual cells of the germinative layer. Basement membrane was distinctly less pronounced in basal cell carcinoma. Keratoacanthoma and seborrheic keratosis have normal basement membrane. Normal epidermal differentiation appears related to basement membrane formation. Anaplasia, viral change as in verruca, and basal cell proliferation are respectively related to absence, increase, and defective basement membrane production.

TL;DR: Epidermal tumors were studied for production of intercellular substance (ICS) present in normal epidermis, and antibody to ICS found in pemphigus serum was used and detected by immunofluorescent technique.
Abstract: Epidermal tumors were studied for production of intercellular substance (ICS) present in normal epidermis. Antibody to ICS found in pemphigus serum was used and detected by immunofluorescent technique. ICS was absent in squamous cell carcinoma, and its absence was related to degree of neoplasia. Individual cell keratinization was related to ICS. Basal cell carcinomas had no ICS, similar to sweat gland tumors. Seborrheic keratosis and keratoacanthoma produced normal amounts of ICS. It appears possible to classify tumors by this technique and probably relate intercellular substance to tumor behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a systematic literature review, which includes from pioneers in the field to the more recent work, and found that even though universities have taken steps in recent years to promote gender equality in their structures and practices, there is still inequality.
Abstract: The article makes important contributions in order to clarify if we can continue talking about a situation of gender inequality in the universities. We performed a systematic literature review, which includes from pioneers in the field to the more recent work. From this review it appears that even though universities have taken steps in recent years to promote gender equality in their structures and practices, there is still inequality, in that it confirms the low female presence in some of the areas of university life in our country. The second contribution the results are derived from research conducted in two Spanish universities, using qualitative methodology in order to delve into the perceptions of academic people in relation to gender equality. The methodology is qualitative and is based on 22 interviews. The participants are academics from two Spanish public universities. The need to balance work and family life, which is still a need associated with female gender, despite the greater involvement of men in family responsibilities, for men still the family responsibilities don not requires an effort comparable to the women involved, that still bears the bulk of the workload, beyond motherhood, which directly determines who can get the same merit than men during their academic career. Also the organizational culture of our universities, which has been and remains very masculine, is a reason for female exclusion. Finally, our results of our investigation warn about the lack of gender equity in different academic fields, especially present in research and management.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the results of the investigation of the tratamiento of the VIH/sida in the media of comunicación escritos espanoles is presented.
Abstract: Este articulo da cuenta del proceso de diseno, de los resultados, asi como los propositosde la investigacion "El tratamiento del VIH/sida en los medios de comunicacion escritos espanoles: ABC , El Mundo , El Pais , El Periodico y La Vanguardia ". Esta investigacion, que se cine al analisis de contenido y que comenzo en 2005, analiza por oleadas como tratan los medios impresos espanoles el VIH/sida y es un encargo del Observatorio Derechos Humanos y VIH/SIDA-Red2002 al Observatorio de Comunicacion y Salud del Instituto de la Comunicacion de la Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona. En la primera parte del escrito se da cuenta de como se disena la investigacion, un proceso abierto que resulta del trabajo cooperativo con el demandante, Red2002, y que se adapta a unos propositos que cambian segun avanza la propia investigacion y su aplicacion. La segunda parte del escrito se centra en dos aspectos; por un lado, en hacer una breve revision de las investigaciones que se han realizado en Espana sobre como han tratado los medios el VIH/sida, y, por otro, en que se diferencia esta investigacion de las que les precedieron: su exhaustividad y su finalidad de intervencion. La tercera parte del articulo se dedica a ofrecer un resumen de los resultados de las dos primeras oleadas de la investigacion y a enunciar las tendencias que parecen entreverse tras el analisis de la tercera oleada. Se cierra el escrito subrayando que el cambio en el tratamiento del VIH/sida puede ser el resultado del trabajo cooperativo de investigadores, oeneges y periodistas especializados en salud.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defend the necessity of basarse in the pareja como unidad de analisis of the articulacion entre empleo and vida familiar.
Abstract: Los estudios sobre el empleo de las mujeres han proliferado en las ultimas decadas, a menudo bajo una perspectiva que concibe la actividad laboral femenina como independiente de las presencias y ausencias masculinas en la esfera mercantil y reproductiva Frente a estas aproximaciones, el articulo defiende la necesidad de basarse en la pareja como unidad de analisis de la articulacion entre empleo y vida familiar Tras exponer las reflexiones teoricas que, desde los estudios del trabajo con perspectiva de genero, han senalado la idoneidad de situar el hogar como espacio central de analisis de la division sexual del trabajo, se revisan distintas contribuciones empiricas realizadas a nivel internacional incorporando esta perspectiva A continuacion se presenta un estado de la cuestion a nivel espanol, para finalizar defendiendo la conveniencia de aplicar dicho marco de analisis al estudio del empleo y el cuidado en los hogares, en plena transformacion en Espana

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the evolucion of the acceso to the universidad de Catalunya over a period of doce anos, with respect to the nivel educativo de los progenitores de los newest estudiantes.
Abstract: En este articulo se analiza la evolucion del acceso a la universidad a lo largo de doce anos en los que ha habido cambios institucionales y de contexto importantes. Con datos para Catalunya, primero se analizan los cambios en el acceso segun el nivel educativo de los progenitores de los nuevos estudiantes. Los resultados muestran que se han dado oscilaciones en las tasas de nuevo acceso a la universidad que pueden ser atribuidas a modificaciones del contexto, pero la distancia entre los diversos grupos sociales se mantiene a lo largo del tiempo. A continuacion se observa la evolucion de la frecuencia de eleccion de titulaciones de precio alto y dificultad alta constatando que se han producido cambios en las elecciones de los estudiantes. Son principalmente las mujeres las que han cambiado sus pautas de eleccion, pero polarizando sus comportamientos en funcion de la nota de acceso y de su nivel formativo familiar.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the coverage of political corruption in Spain and Chile, focusing on the Chilean case "Soquimich" and in the Spanish case "Barcenas".
Abstract: This empirical article analyzes qualitatively press coverage of political corruption in Spain and Chile. Specifically, the study focuses on the Chilean case “Soquimich” and in the Spanish case “Barcenas”. For this purpose, the news discourse of Chilean daily El Mercurio and La Tercera and Spanish newspapers El Pais and El Mundo were compared regarding the following axes: 1) Role of the characters and characterization of them and 2) Discursive strategies underlayed by the media discourse. While there are differences in news coverage of corruption in both countries, the results obtained indicate that treatment of corruption is simplified and incomplete. That is because the stories analyzed are focused on corrupt —the particular characters— without questioning the real roots of corruption.

TL;DR: In light of the immediate distress relief, it is concluded that it is appropriate to refer all patients to the psych-oncology service, at least for a psychological assessment visit.
Abstract: Objective: Most studies on psychological intervention benefits have focused on the effects after several therapeutic sessions. The objective of this research was to describe the patients’ emotional state, and establish the possible immediate emotional effects of an individual psycho-oncological session. Method: The emotional state of 30 women with breast cancer was assessed with an ad- hoc tool that included items from the Distress Thermometer for Patients at the beginning and at the end of a psychological support session. During the session, issues that worried patients were addressed through an approach based on counselling and positive psychology. Results: The mean of emotional distress experienced during the previous week was 6.4 on the emotional thermometer, and more than half of the women had experienced multiple emotional problems during this period. After the session, the intensity of certain emotions decreased significantly in relation to the beginning of it, and the emotional distress compared to the previous week also decreased. In addition, more than half the sample experienced positive emotional states. Improvements were related to neither medical condition nor the number of previous psycho-oncological sessions. Conclusions: In light of the immediate distress relief, it is concluded that it is appropriate to refer all patients to the psych-oncology service, at least for a psychological assessment visit.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a critical analysis on how the Spanish State and the Catalan government in particular have managed educational change in a context of economic austerity, based on Bob Jessop's approach to cultural political economy.
Abstract: Austerity policies have been a common response to the economic crisis of many European governments. The cuts in the social sphere have affected educational budgets and have forced states to manage the crisis with political and discursive strategies. This article develops a critical analysis on how the Spanish State and the Catalan government in particular have managed educational change in a context of economic austerity. Based on Bob Jessop’s approach to cultural political economy and using data on the Catalan case, the article explores the mechanisms and technologies of crisis management and shows how the crisis, rather than restricting government policy action, has in fact been used as a political opportunity to build a new model of educational policy.

TL;DR: AI is a multidisciplinary activity that involves specialists from several fields, and the authors can say that the aim of science, and AI science, is solving problems.
Abstract: AI is a multidisciplinary activity that involves specialists from several fields, and we can say that the aim of science, and AI science, is solving problems. AI and computer sciences are been creating a new kind of making science, that we can call in silico science. Both models top-eown and bottomup are useful for e-scientific research. There is no a real controversy between them. Besides, the extended mind model of human cognition, involves human-machine interactions. Huge amount of data requires new ways to make and organize scientific practices: supercomputers, grids, distributed computing, specific software and middleware and, basically, more efficient and visual ways to interact with information. This is one of the key points to understand contemporary relationships between humans and machines: usability of scientific data.

TL;DR: The importance of the role of the comunicación interna en the promocion de la salud, e.g., en the context of the Carta de Ottawa as discussed by the authors, has been pointed out.
Abstract: La promocion de la salud es una tarea que debe ser asumida por todos los individuos y comunidades, y las personas y profesionales que trabajan en el sector salud estan llamados a ser defensores y promotores constantes de ella Esto supone que todos los empleados del sector esten informados, capacitados, motivados e integrados para apuntar a este fin La realidad actual muestra que los escenarios de salud no trabajan bajo los postulados de la promocion de la salud, recogidos en la Carta de Ottawa Esto lleva a repensar, por un lado, la importancia de concebir la promocion de la salud como filosofia de trabajo y, por otro, la labor que se hace desde dentro con los publicos internos con miras a que cada organizacion encuentre en cada uno de sus empleados un socio estrategico para alcanzar los objetivos de salud Basados en las teorias organizacionales que han revelado el importante papel de la comunicacion interna en el cumplimiento de los objetivos de una organizacion, y teniendo en cuenta que la promocion de la salud sigue siendo una tarea pendiente, se plantea que la comunicacion interna en los escenarios de salud puede ayudar a cumplir con este objetivo a traves de una politica –de comunicacion interna- que lleve como esencia promocionar la salud Es asi como este articulo desarrolla el modelo de las “seis ies” de comunicacion interna para promocion de la salud, en el que se incluye: identificacion, informacion, integracion, imagen, instruccion e investigacion

TL;DR: In this article, a serie of proyectos etnoarqueologicos hispano-argentinos dirigidos a contrastar arqueologicamente el registro etnografico de sociedades cazadoras-recolectora de Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) is presented.
Abstract: Desde hace mas de 25 anos se han llevado a cabo en Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) una serie de proyectos etnoarqueologicos hispano-argentinos dirigidos a contrastar arqueologicamente el registro etnografico de sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras. El principal objetivo ha sido el desarrollo metodologico para un adecuado reconocimiento de la organizacion social de estas sociedades que pudiera aplicarse a contextos arqueologicos. Para ello adoptamos una aproximacion integral –arqueologica, etnografica, tafonomica y experimental– a la que denominamos “Etnoarqueologia experimental”. En el marco de estos proyectos excavamos varios yacimientos arqueologicos del siglo XIX, es decir, correspondientes al periodo de contacto europeo con las sociedades indigenas y del cual se dispone amplia informacion etnografica. En el trabajo aqui presentado expondremos los diferentes proyectos y sus conclusiones mas importantes, concentrandonos en los resultados de la investigacion en dos de los asentamientos Yamana excavados durante estos proyectos, Tunel VII y Lanashuaia, ubicados ambos en la costa norte del Canal Beagle.

TL;DR: In this article, the modelo de cuidado a personas mayores ofertado desde un servicio publico de atencion a domicilio is analyzed.
Abstract: El cuidado de las personas mayores ha dejado de ser una cuestion exclusivamente privada para pasar a ser tambien una cuestion publica traspasando asi diversos ambitos e implicando a diferentes agentes sociales. Mediante una metodologia de investigacion cualitativa, basada en un estudio de caso etnografico, se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad a trabajadoras del cuidado remunerado (trabajadoras familiares) y observacion participante durante su practica profesional. En este articulo analizamos el modelo de cuidado a personas mayores ofertado desde un servicio publico de atencion a domicilio. Un trabajo que convive con formas tradicionales de atencion (a cargo de la familia, principalmente por parte de las mujeres), y donde la profesionalizacion no esta consolidada. En este contexto aparecen las tensiones y ambivalencias que se manifiestan durante el servicio de cuidado profesional y se plantea la necesidad de nuevos debates sobre la responsabilidad social del cuidado y las caracteristicas propias de la actividad cuando esta es remunerada.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse three episodes of Quequicom, a program broadcast by Catalan Television and one which highlights the main characteristics of this new television genre, which might be characterised as info-entertainment.
Abstract: Dissemination on TV: Socialization of knowledge or scientific education? In Education, considerable importance has been given to the value of dissemination within the scientific education of people, with attention primarily being attached to science documentaries broadcast on television. Currently, these programmes share space with—or are being displaced by—a new genre of the televised mediatisation of knowledge, which might be characterised as info-entertainment. This current work is based on research that analyses a broad corpus of science-dissemination programmes adopting these new formats. Specifically, we analyse three episodes of Quequicom, a programme broadcast by Catalan Television and one which highlights the main characteristics of this new television genre. The aim of the study is two-fold: 1) it hopes to contribute to the discursive characterisation of the genre on the basis of the analysis of the subjects, the format and the discourse produced by the speakers; 2) it aims to provide arguments to understand the extent to which these programmes contribute to the scientific education of the young. The theoretical framework is the discourse analysis. Our results show that the programme is in keeping with the objectives of informing and entertaining characteristic of the televisual mediatisation of knowledge. At all events, although it has the didactic nature of educational programmes, it does not necessarily contribute to reinforcing people’ scientific knowledge.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of the right to access justice by women who brought a claim of violence by their partner and/or ex-partner and who went to court was analyzed.
Abstract: This paper analyses the development of the right to access justice by women who brought a claim of violence by their partner and/or ex-partner and who went to court. The approach to this subject of study was carried out by means of ethnographic observation at specialised courts dealing with violence against women in the city of Barcelona. As a result of the research, amongst others, it is highlighted how the judicial practices by the operators of the criminal system had a negative impact on some of the rights of the women. In particular, the following was detected and documented: infringement of the right of information, lack of specialised training by the law professionals, ‘resistance’ to investigate further around regular violence. Likewise, it was verified that victims, far from being the protagonists of the criminal process, receive a treatment that does not protect their dignity.

TL;DR: A description of Spain's provinces division in late Roman times ( Discriptio Hispaniae ), especially focused on the Carthaginiensis region, has been preserved in this work.
Abstract: The recent edition of the Ars Gromatica siue Geometria Gisemundi , which is based on two manuscripts that date from the ninth century (mostly ACA Ripoll 106), has offered new data about the literature of the Roman land surveyors. A description of Spain’s provinces division in late Roman times ( Discriptio Hispaniae ), especially focused on the Carthaginiensis region, has been preserved in this work. The autor based this text on several unpublished ancient sources dating from the early empire to the byzantine period. The text mentions some land surveying activities and describes some specific works in order to delimitate territories that allow us to propose the existence of a type of provincial land surveying documentation that has remained unknown until now. In addition, the document provides new information about the Byzantine presence in Spania and the possible boundaries of their occupation.

TL;DR: The systematic use of EDSOL for early detection and specific interventions on existential loneliness experiences will be an appropriate tool for identifying the Existential Loneliness of patients at the end of life or advanced illness.
Abstract: Aim: This paper presents the development of Detection of Existential Loneliness Scale (EDSOL) of patients with advanced disease/terminal illness that receiving palliative care. Method: The process of preparing the scale is described. For this: 1) the literature on the subject has been revised, 2) theoretical framework has been established, 3) it has been defined the criteria to be met by the screening tool, and 4) the final scale was reviewed by patients and experts. Results: The EDSOL scale consists of two parts: 1) three questions addressed to patients and; 2) several questions addressed to health staff about the observation of external signs of Existential Loneliness. The final scale was reviewed by patients and experts (facie validity) showing good validity. Conclussion: The EDSOL scale will be an appropriate tool for identifying the Existential Loneliness of patients at the end of life or advanced illness. In this case, we will propose the systematic use of EDSOL for early detection and specific interventions on existential loneliness experiences.

TL;DR: The work of the Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura among dissident intellectual and cultural elites during the late years of Francoism is described in this article.
Abstract: This article reconstructs the principal aspects of the work of the Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura among the anti-Francoist opposition of the inlands. The political circumstances that motivated the foundation of the Spanish Committee (1959-1977) and the principal characteristics of this intellectual anti-Francoist cell are described. The article inquires about the ideological and political objectives behind the activities of the Congreso de la Libertad de la Cultura among the dissident intellectual and cultural elites during the late years of Francoism. Special attention is paid to the direct aid given by the Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura, to Spanish intellectuals and artists by way of book and travel grants, conceded through the Comite d’Ecrivains et d’Editeurs pour une Entraide Europeenne. A list of the names of the principal Spanish beneficiaries of this aid has also been reconstructed, as well as the principal issues tied to the development of the program. The historical analysis is based on documents from various national and international archives.

TL;DR: La reconstruccion mamaria no deberia considerarse un paso posterior, si no una parte imprescindible for un tratamiento integral.
Abstract: Introduccion: la calidad de vida es un concepto fuertemente condicionado por la integridad fisica e imagen corporal de un individuo. La reconstruccion mamaria se ha convertido en una opcion idonea para las mujeres diagnosticadas de cancer de mama. Es un paso esencial en la recuperacion de las secuelas fisicas y psiquicas que produce el tratamiento del cancer de mama en la mujer, y debe ser analizada de forma individual. Procedimientos reconstructivos: existen diversas tecnicas reconstructivas, que deben satisfacer el objetivo estetico de recuperar el contorno de la mama, asi como una mejoria funcional para la mujer con el fin de mejorar su calidad de vida. La reconstruccion puede realizarse mediante implantes, mediante tejido del propio cuerpo o reconstruccion mediante tecnicas mixtas. Por sus caracteristicas, el colgajo DIEP se ha convertido en la tecnica quirurgica mas fisiologica y de eleccion para la reconstruccion mamaria. Discusion: las pacientes tienen derecho a una valoracion exhaustiva y rigurosa, por parte de su cirujano plastico, de la tecnica mas indicada para su intervencion de reconstruccion mamaria. El hecho de que solo el hecho de que solo el 30% de las mujeres que se someten a una mastectomia lleven a cabo la reconstruccion, se debe principalmente a una falta de informacion, afectando claramente a la calidad de vida de las pacientes. Conclusion: la reconstruccion mamaria no deberia considerarse un paso posterior, si no una parte imprescindible para un tratamiento integral.

TL;DR: In this article, a study centred on the region of Tortosa in the segunda mitad of the XII (regiones de Tortosa and Lleida) represento el asentamiento de centenares de familias de colonos cristianos procedentes of distintas regiones feudales septentrionales.
Abstract: La conquista y colonizacion de la Cataluna Nueva en la segunda mitad del siglo XII (regiones de Tortosa y Lleida) represento el asentamiento de centenares de familias de colonos cristianos procedentes de distintas regiones feudales septentrionales. La historiografia ha insistido en distinguir entre un campesinado sujeto a servidumbre, propio de las comarcas de la Cataluna Vieja, y un campesinado libre, caracteristico de las regiones de frontera con al-Andalus (caso de la Cataluna Nueva). No obstante, esta distincion de orden juridico no tiene en cuenta el alcance real de la renta feudal, en buena medida fijada en los censos estipulados en los contratos agrarios (donaciones a censo o establecimientos). En este estudio, centrado en la region de Tortosa en las decadas inmediatas a la conquista de 1148, se analiza en profundidad el contenido de estos documentos con el proposito, primero, de identificar a los censatarios para, en segundo lugar, discriminar quienes de ellos eran los campesinos, y donde situar el nivel de la renta feudal. Los datos que se aportan muestran que las cargas que gravaban al campesinado en una sociedad colonial en construccion propia de una region de conquista reciente alcanzaban unos niveles de renta semejantes a las exigidas a los campesinos de las areas feudalizadas de la Cataluna Vieja.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the application of a mobile methodology to a research focused on adoption, where they accompanied the participants in their routines and shared public spaces where, due to social constructions, they are taken by "immigrants" because of their physical features.
Abstract: This article presents the application of a mobile methodology to a research focused on adoption. Accompanying the participants in their routines we shared public spaces where, due to social constructions, they are taken by “immigrants” because of their physical features. Walking with them also allowed me to gain access to their perception of the city and the way they live in. This methodology is based on other ‘mobile methodologies’, which are briefly described in this article with an especial emphasis on French literature. As a result, we obtain a mobile ethnography that introduces Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs]; works from the horizontality; values the silence; collects urban emergencies and fate in order to have access to the information that is banned to direct and even indirect questions.

TL;DR: The work of Amartya Sen as mentioned in this paper has attracted much attention in the last few decades and has generated a considerable controversy in this of political philosophy, arguing with John Rawls, who argued that the philosophical- ethical dimension is implicit, nonvisible in a text apparently analytical and neutral.
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to present the work of Amartya Sen. Sen was born the year 1933 in Santiniketan, West Bengala (India). He studied at Calcutta University and later in Cambridge (United Kingdom). He has been teaching in different Universities in India, United Kingdom and the United States. He has also been President of different professional associations and has influenced in several international institutions such as the World Bank and different UN agencies. He received in 1998 the Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions in the field of welfare economics. It's no wonder that his extensive work occupies a fully deserved place in the field of political economy and has also generated a considerable controversy in this of political philosophy. His economic contributions cover a broad agenda, from social choice theory to inequalities, including methodologies for their measurement. He has also covered the fields of welfare economics and the theory of justice, arguing with John Rawls. His work, globally considered, gravitates around the problems of economic development, from a global and explicit perspective; so, in his book on the subject synthesis Development as Freedom, published in 1999, Sen indicates that “the expansion of freedom in his approach is both the primary purpose of development and the primary means”. His philosophical background allows him to deal rigorously non-current topics for economists or to incorporate philosophical thoughts in an economic discourse. This aspect may be surprising because it is common that the philosophical- ethical dimension –the ideological dimension– is implicit, non-visible in a text apparently analytical and neutral.

Abstract: This paper presents a summary of the results of a Project carried out by the author on behalf of the Catalan Federation of Parents’ Associations (FaPaC), where we identify PAs as a specific and privileged case of family-school relations. The Project intended to assess the potential role Pas could play as intermediary organizations enhancing social integration and analyze the degree of the relation between the social problem constructed – migrant families’ lack of participation as an explanation for the lower school performance of their children – and the institutional projects that should be expected in the Catalan context among PAs.

Abstract: El presente articulo de investigacion, titulado «Radiografia al comportamiento de la prensa colombiana en Twitter: Casos El Heraldo, El Universal y El Informador» tuvo por objetivo realizar una primera aproximacion al diagnostico del comportamiento de la prensa colombiana en esta plataforma, y de forma extensiva a la labor de sus community managers, a partir de un estudio de caso Twitter, una red social virtual lanzada en EEUU en el 2006, ofrece a los diarios la posibilidad de gestionar una cuenta para divulgar noticias (como canal RSS), dar ultima hora, captar e interactuar con seguidores, obtener trafico y en general, cultivar una comunidad de seguidores El estudio de caracter descriptivo, implemento la tecnica de la observacion virtual estructurada aplicada a la cronologia de las cuentas oficiales de cada uno de los diarios mencionados por espacio de diez dias consecutivos, donde se indaga por el comportamiento en la misma de tres diarios regionales generalistas de la Costa Caribe colombiana: El Heraldo (de Barranquilla), El Universal (de Cartagena de Indias) y El Informador (de Santa Marta), en los aspectos de grado de interactividad, manejo de contenidos y estrategia comercial Entre los hallazgos obtenidos se destaca que si bien hay rasgos en comun en el comportamiento de los diarios en esta plataforma, no existe un modelo unico de gestion, sino que cada uno genera sus particulares estrategias y en donde la experticia del community manager juega un papel relevante en la imagen que proyecta el diario a su comunidad
