    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2022) Iqbal Doewes, Rumi; Elumalai, Gunathevan; Hartini Azmi, Siti
    The study purpose was to analyze the passing distance of professional futsal players in the Indonesia Pro Futsal League. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the final match of the 2021 Indonesia Pro Futsal League. All players except the goalkeeper were analyzed. We measured the distance of the passes made. Movie Maker software was used for cutting videos of every passing movement and Kinovea software was used for passing distance analysis. This study stated that in maintaining the ball possession, entering the opponent’s defense, and trying to score goals, players can perform various types of passes such as short, medium, and long passes. The results showed that the average passing distance was 3.58 meters for the short pass, 7.46 meters for the medium pass, and 14.47 meters for the long pass. This futsal passing distance analysis can be used as a basis for passing mastery exercises. Therefore, the coach can plan passing training programs with specific distances and maximize the passing accuracy of the players.

    Closeness and distance through the agentive authorial voice: construing credibility in promotional discourse.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Suau Jiménez, Francisca
    Credibility is a function associated with promotional genres and persuasion, and a powerful marketing concept (Eisend, 2006; Ming, 2006) which provides trustworthiness about the quality of products or services offered by hotels (Suau-Jiménez, 2012a, 2019). It is partly attained through the hotel‘s self-mentioning in websites. When this self-mentioning is agentive with action verbs, the main instantiation is the pronoun we, projecting closeness and assertiveness. However, this self-representation is also construed with depersonalized realizations like the hotel‘s proper name, other nominalizations or even pronouns like it and they, which provide attenuating aspects and create a sense of distance. The current corpus-based study of 112 hotel websites hypothesizes that this attenuation may diminish closeness of the authorial voice (Brown & Levinson, 1987), thus displaying authority, following disciplinary and generic constraints. Results suggest that discursive closeness and distance, intertwined with personalized and depersonalized self-representations of the authorial voice, may aid to improve credibility.

    Experiences of Nursing Students during the Abrupt Change from Face-to-Face to e-Learning Education during the First Month of Confinement Due to COVID-19 in Spain
    (MDPI, 2020-07-30) Ramos Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; Leal Costa, César; Moral García, José Enrique; Ruzafa Martínez, María; Enfermería
    The current state of alarm due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the urgent change in the education of nursing students from traditional to distance learning. The objective of this study was to discover the learning experiences and the expectations about the changes in education, in light of the abrupt change from face-to-face to e-learning education, of nursing students enrolled in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree of two public Spanish universities during the first month of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative study was conducted during the first month of the state of alarm in Spain (from 25 March–20 April 2020). Semi-structured interviews were given to students enrolled in every academic year of the Nursing Degree, and nurses who were enrolled in the Master’s programs at two public universities. A maximum variation sampling was performed, and an inductive thematic analysis was conducted. The study was reported according with COREQ checklist. Thirty-two students aged from 18 to 50 years old participated in the study. The interviews lasted from 17 to 51 min. Six major themes were defined: (1) practicing care; (2) uncertainty; (3) time; (4) teaching methodologies; (5) context of confinement and added difficulties; (6) face-to-face win. The imposition of e-learning sets limitations for older students, those who live in rural areas, with work and family responsibilities and with limited electronic resources. Online education goes beyond a continuation of the face-to-face classes. Work should be done about this for the next academic year as we face an uncertain future in the short-term control of COVID-19

    Geolocalización de interamnio con empleo de tecnologías de la información geográfica.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2024) López Palacios, Abelardo
    El análisis de las vías antoninas, sus vestigios documentales y materiales, ha propiciado muy diversos estudios, siendo el tramo Asturica Augusta — Interamnio — Bergido uno de los que ha generado, a lo largo de los tiempos, arduos debates que continúan en la actualidad. El objetivo que se propone este estudio es el análisis de la singularidad que se observa en el tránsito, a través de la Hoya Berciana, de El Bierzo, de tres vías recogidas en el Itinerarium Antonini Augusti o Itinerario Antonino, vías que propician la conexión de la Submeseta norte y la Lusitania con el noroeste peninsular ibérico; de lo que se acabará nombrando como Gallaecia con Roma transitando a través de Hispania. Análisis geométrico y geográfico que, en función de las distancias estipuladas en los itinerarios, y tratadas con empleo de un Sistema de Información Geográfica o SIG, permite la geolocalización del miliario Interamnio, a XXX mpm de Asturica Augusta y XX de Bergido, en Bembibre del Bierzo, en las inmediaciones del castro de Bembibre, la Villavieja, en que se encontraría situado este situ, esta mansio, lo que puede contribuir a dilucidar diversos enfoques que sobre este asunto se han propuesto y se continúan postulando.

    Poética de la monstruosidad en los relatos de Jean Richepin.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Pardo Jiménez, Pedro
    Los relatos de Jean Richepin constituyen una expresión singular de la monstruosidad de característica del siglo XIX. En ellos se observa una sobreabundancia manifiesta de personajes ajenos a los estándares de la norma común, que convierte el universo de la ficción en una especie de museo de la rareza biológica, de la perversión sexual y la abyección criminal, de la violencia y de la alienación psíquica: en suma, de todos aquellos rasgos que, según el autor, revelan la animalidad y la irracionalidad humanas. El tratamiento que Richepin hace de estos temas es muy personal: aunque lleva el espectáculo del horror al límite de lo aceptable, lo hace desde un distanciamiento emocional, moral e intelectual que algunos contemporáneos reprobaron como una falta de sinceridad, pero que, paradójicamente, es hoy el aspecto que mejor explica su modernidad.
