In the 2008 season, a new pre-evaporator vessel, called PE1A, was installed at the Racecourse Mill as a precursor to the introduction of cogeneration at the factory. PE1A and the existing pre-evaporator, called PE-north, were designed as steam-efficiency measures to provide vapour to the evaporating crystallizers, juice heaters, co-located sugar refinery and, potentially, to other value-adding operations. Both pre-evaporator vessels are Robert type evaporators, with the PE-north vessel an older standard design and the PE1A vessel incorporating new design features. PE1A is configured to take letdown steam from the cogeneration boiler (Racecourse no.4 boiler) and to return the condensate to the boiler. PE-north takes exhaust steam from the milling turbines and turbo-alternators supplied by Racecourse no.3 boiler. The specifications for condensate supplied as boiler feedwater to the cogeneration boiler, which operates at 8,000 kPa, are more stringent than the industry typical boilers, operating at 1,700 kPa. PE1A is operated as a juice-evaporator vessel during the crushing season and as a steam transformer during the non-crush season. The operation of both pre-evaporator vessels is described. Severe corrosion issues are noted for the PE1A vessel, which is not prevalent for the PE-north vessel despite the latter being considerably older and used in a similar role. The causes of the high corrosion levels for PE1A are discussed, and some measures to alleviate the operational conditions at Racecourse are described.

En un contexto de celebrificación y fenómeno fandomen la política, las redes sociales juegan un papel determinante. La influencia de los medios de comunicación ha acercado, desde finales del siglo pasado, la política a la cultura de la fama, lo que ha provocado la personalización de la política y la emergencia de políticos-estrella. Este proceso, que se ha denominado celebrificación, debe reunir dos dinámicas en teoría contrapuestas: construir al candidato como un personaje extraordinario y, simultáneamente, ser un individuo 'normal y corriente. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la construcción de la imagen de Santiago Abascal en Instagram, principalmente en su ámbito privado. La propuesta analiza las fotografías de su cuenta personal de Instagram de 2020 (del 1 de enero hasta el 31 de diciembre) y se basa una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa. Se realiza un análisis textual de las imágenes y se detectan sus atributos principales. La cuenta de Santiago Abascal en Instagram construye una imagen concreta de nación encarnada en la proyección hipermasculina del cuerpo de su líder y crea un apego emocional alrededor de su figura dentro de su comunidad hasta considerarlo «uno de los nuestros». ; Social networks play a determining role in contemporary politics. Due to the influence of the media politicians turn into celebrities, which has caused the personalization of politics messages by the emergence of celebrity politicians. This process, which has been called celebrification, has an opposite effect: framing the candidate as an extraordinary character and, simultaneously, making him look like a «normal and ordinary»individual. The aim of this article is to analyze the construction of the image of Santiago Abascal on Instagram (from 1th Jaunary until 31th December), namely in the private field. The proposal analyzes the content displayed on his Instagram account fromthe beginning of 2020. The methodology is qualitative and quantitative. Subsequently, a textual analysis of the images is used in order to detect the main attributes befitting to Santiago Abascal. The account is built around a concrete image of a Spanish nation which is embodied in the hyper-masculine projection of its leader's physical body and creates an emotional engagement around his figure within his community until they consider him «one of us».

Household characteristics may have long-run effects on individual outcomes in adulthood. For instance, individuals who lived when young in households experiencing financial problems are more likely to be poor when adults. Governments try to reduce these effects and to promote equality of opportunity. The objective of this paper is to check whether public expenditure has a long-run effect in reducing the probability of being poor when adult, and to what extent. Our main finding is that public expenditure on education has a strong long-run effect on reducing incidence of poverty in adulthood. We also find that this effect is concentrated mainly among individuals who have parents with a low level of education. ; Financial support from Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (ECO2014-57413, ECO2012-34928 and ECO2015-65820-P (MINECO/FEDER)), Generalitat Valenciana (Prometeo/2013/037), Junta de Andalucía (SEJ-4941, SEJ-5980) and Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) is gratefully acknowledged.

We study a model where individuals choose both the level of provision of a public good and the quota of low-skilled immigrants that are allowed into the country. Individuals can supplement the public good in the private market. Immigrants affect natives through three channels: (i) the labor market; (ii) tax collection; (iii) the quality of the public good. We find that the higher the political weight of the rich (highly skilled) is, the less tolerant the poor and the middle-class are toward immigration and the more demanding they are toward increasing public spending. The rich are the most favorable to immigration. As they have more weight, the political outcome is closer to their preferences and further from the preferences of the other groups. We use data from the European Social Survey to test the implications of our model. ; Gabriel Romero thanks CONICYT FONDECYT INICIACION (grant number 11121155) for financial support.

El objeto del presente artículo es el análisis de la serie Maricón Perdido (Bob Pop, 2021), que retrata la construcción de su identidad como homosexual, con pluma, sobrepeso y con esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA). La metodología se basa en el análisis textual, poniendo el foco en el uso del tiempo, en concreto el orden y frecuencia de los acontecimientos. Así, el análisis se divide en tres apartados: la adolescencia; la primera juventud y, por último, se analiza la estrategia de resistencia de Roberto/Bob mediante la figura del autor. La investigación concluye que la representación de la masculinidad disidente de Bob Pop es consciente, meditada y política. La serie rompe con la estructura cronológica tradicional, mediante repeticiones y reinvenciones, para abordar las vivencias que van construyendo a Roberto/Bob Pop. Nos describe la experiencia de la construcción de la subjetividad desde una posición subalterna, muchas veces mediante la agresión. No sólo traspasa los límites temporales de su relato, sino también los del relato como artefacto, pues la serie es parte de un mundo transmedia. La elección de esta estructura narrativa es una reivindicación de nuevas formas discursivas de subjetividad que cuestionen las categorías estancas de identidad.

Social networks play a determining role in contemporary politics.

The aim of this article is to analyze the construction of the image of Santiago Abascal on Instagram, namely in the private field. The hypothesis is that the VOX party´s leader portrays a form of masculinity that is associated with attributes such as strength, discipline, toughness, power and fatherhood with military style. The proposal analyzes the content displayed on his Instagram account from the beginning of 2020. The methodology is based on content analysis throught a templated which has been done by means of codification on a file. Subsequently, a textual analysis of the images is used in order to detect the main attributes (territoriality, hyper-leadership and defense) befitting to Santiago Abascal. The account is built around a concrete image of a Spanish nation which is embodied in the hyper-masculine projection of its leader's physical body. Abascal (self) represents himself in terms of hyper-leadership and hyper-masculinity and creates an emotional engagement around his figure within his community until they consider him "one of us". ; En un contexto de celebrificación y fenómeno fandom en la política, las redes sociales juegan un papel determinante.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la construcción de la imagen de Santiago Abascal en Instagram, principalmente en su ámbito privado. Nuestra propuesta parte de la hipótesis de que el líder de VOX transmite una forma de masculinidad asociada a atributos como la fuerza, la disciplina, la dureza, la potencia y la paternidad con referencias castrenses. La propuesta analiza las fotografías de su cuenta personal de Instagram de 2020 y la metodología se basa en el análisis de contenido. Primero, se extraen unos resultados tras la aplicación de una plantilla de codificación. Posteriormente, realizamos un análisis textual de las imágenes y detectamos los atributos principales (masculinidad, territorialidad, hiperliderazgo y defensa). La cuenta de Santiago Abascal en Instagram construye una imagen concreta de nación encarnada en la proyección hipermasculina del cuerpo de su líder. Abascal se (auto)representa en clave de hiperliderazgo e hipermasculinidad y crea un apego emocional alrededor de su figura dentro de su comunidad hasta considerarlo "uno de los nuestros".

Cloud computing market forecasts and technology trends confirm that Cloud is an IT disrupting phenomena and that the number of companies with multi-cloud strategy is continuously growing. Cost optimization and increased competitiveness of companies that exploit multi-cloud will only be possible when they are able to leverage multiple cloud offerings, while mastering both the complexity of multiple cloud provider management and the protection against the higher exposure to attacks that multi-cloud brings. This paper presents the MUSA Security modelling language for multi-cloud applications which is based on the Cloud Application Modelling and Execution Language (CAMEL) to overcome the lack of expressiveness of state-of-the-art modelling languages towards easing: a) the automation of distributed deployment, b) the computation of composite Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that include security and privacy aspects, and c) the risk analysis and service match-making taking into account not only functionality and business aspects of the cloud services, but also security aspects. The paper includes the description of the MUSA Modeller as the Web tool supporting the modelling with the MUSA modelling language. The paper introduces also the MUSA SecDevOps framework in which the MUSA Modeller is integrated and with which the MUSA Modeller will be validated. ; The MUSA project leading to this paper has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation pro- gramme under grant agreement No 644429.
