El mundo del periodismo está inmerso en una revolución permanente, lo que le hace estar sumido en cambios tecnológicos y laborales de los que es difícil aventurar un futuro. Además, la irrupción de ...los entornos multimedia en las redacciones y la aparición de gabinetes de prensa y gestores de contenidos digitales ha modificado la tradicional relación informativa entre los informadores y sus fuentes. Se ha perdido la relación personal y la cercanía y eso puede ser perjudicial en entornos emergentes, como el del deporte femenino.
Con el horizonte de los Juegos de Tokio 2020 aplazados hasta 2021, este trabajo revisa las relaciones entre periodistas de ABC y las deportistas olímpicas desde 1972, con la esperanza de que la modernidad no afecte al tratamiento informativo de las atletas en el futuro.
The Japanese say that 'folk song is the heart's home town'. Traditional folk songs (min'yo) from the countryside are strongly linked to their places of origin and continue to play a role there. ...Today, however, they are also taught as a quasi-art music, arranged for stage and television, quoted in Westernized popular songs and so forth.

Tokyo: Memory, Imagination, and the City is a collection of eight essays that explore Tokyo urban space from the perspective of memory in works of the imagination—novels, short stories, poetry, ...essays, and films. Written by scholars of Japanese studies based in England, Germany, Japan, and the United States, the book focuses on texts produced in Japan since the 1980s. The closing years of the Shōwa period (1926-1989) were a watershed decade of spatial transformation in Tokyo. It was also a time (in Japan, as elsewhere) when conversations about the nature of memory—historical, cultural, collective, and individual—intensified. The contributors to the volume share the view that works of the imagination are constitutive elements of how cities are experienced and perceived. Each of the essays responds to the growing interest in studies on Tokyo with a literary-cultural orientation.
This indispensable one-volume narrative examines the history, culture, environment, economy, politics, future, and more of the city of Tokyo, Japan's political and cultural capital.Provides a ...Chronology of succinct, at-a-glance timeline of events in the history of the city Offers "Life in the City" inset boxes to help readers to gain a better understanding of what life is like in the city, told from the viewpoint of city inhabitants and visitorsUses sidebars to reveal fun facts about the city, such as interesting laws and cultural taboosIllustrates the text using photos of important sites, people, and cultural traditions found in the city Narratives in an accessible and engaging, ideal for students as well as general readersFeatures a complete table of Tokyo's past leaders highlighting their defining accomplishments within the context of Japan's history
The paper fits a hedonic regression model to the sales of condominium units in Tokyo over the period 2000–2015. The problem is complicated by the need to decompose the selling price of a unit into a ...component that can be attributed to the structure area of the unit and another component that can be attributed to the unit's share of land value. There is very little information on the value of condominium land and so this paper develops a methodology for reducing this knowledge gap. The paper extends the builder's model which was developed in Eurostat (2013). Characteristics which prove to be important in explaining condominium prices are: the floor space area of the unit, the total land area of the building, the number of units in the building, the total number of stories in the building, the height of the sold unit, the age of the structure and the amount of excess land. The paper also derives an estimate for the annual geometric structure depreciation rate for condominiums in Tokyo.
In tourism-dependent cities, investigating the spatiotemporal distribution and dynamics of tourist flows is crucial for better urban planning in both steady and perturbed states. In recent years, ...researchers have started relying more on photo-based, geotagged social data, which offer insights about tourists, popular hotspots, and mobility patterns. However, distinguishing between tourists and locals from this data is problematic since residence information is often not provided. While previous studies rely on heuristic (e.g., period of stay) and probabilistic (Shannon entropy) approaches, this paper proposes a method for classifying tourists and residents based on machine learning (ML) algorithms and considering parameters that could explain the variability between the two (e.g., weather, mobility, and photo content). This approach was applied to Flickr users’ geotagged photos taken in Tokyo’s 23 special wards from July 2008 to December 2019. The results show that stacked ensemble (SE) models are superior to models based on five supervised-learning algorithms, including gradient boosting machine (GBM), generalized linear model (GLM), distributed random forest (DRF), deep learning (DL), and extremely randomized trees (XRT). Temporal entropy (TEN), mobility on workdays, and frequent visits to amusement venues and crowded places influenced how users were classified. While temporal distribution showed similar monthly/hourly patterns, spatial distribution varied. The proposed approach might pave the way for scholars to carry out future tourism research on different topics and subsequently support policymakers in the decision-making process, specifically in urban settings.
El Tokio, a priority conservation area in Mexico and North America, and its adjacent areas hold the world's last remaining colonies of the Mexican Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys mexicanus) and ...serve as home to over 250 bird species, including global wintering grassland birds of high conservation concern, and other rare, endemic and endangered species of flora and fauna. While alarming changes in distribution and migration patterns of species existing in the study area have been reported, studies on the role of climate in these changes are scarce, partly because of the lack of climate information. To fill this gap, this study defined the climate types and eight bioclimatic variables of five ecoregions within and adjacent to El Tokio and analyzed climate indices showing trends of climate extremes, using 30-year climate data and the software RClimDex 1.0 RCs. Results showed climate variability in the study area, with 14 climate types, mostly arid and semi-arid. The analysis of bioclimatic variables showed that the Plains of Zacatecano-Potosino Plateau ecoregion, which contains prairie dog colonies, had the highest annual and mean temperature in the most humid, driest and hottest trimesters of the year; its precipitation had lower seasonality in relation to other ecoregions. Climate indices to detect trends in climate extremes showed greater intensity in precipitation, but also longer dry intervals during the year in the Plains of Zacatecano-Potosno Plateau, while the adjacent Sierra with Forests ecoregion, which borders some colonies, showed trends of warmer winters, summers with fewer days with high minimum temperatures, and precipitation that was less in amount and intensity. The generated climate datasets and analyses contribute essential input for climate change studies and for biological studies and conservation programs for the species and ecosystems present in the biologically rich study area, some of which are greatly threatened and of international concern.
