The recent and rapid expansion of touristification offers some critical factors that have fueled the local indignation and local resistance within the 'tourist city'. These protests are very focused on the negative impacts of touristification on the local real estate market, on the construction of the city for the monoculture of tourism, on the evictions of families from touristized neighborhoods and on the deterioration of neighborhood coexistence. In this way, different local actors and social groups show a range of non-linear histories and diverse discourses about the impacts of the recent and rapid expansion of urban (in) formal tourism in their local communities. In this article, in the first place, we analyze the expansion of Airbnb in the city of Madrid. The results reflect that the Airbnb market in the city of Madrid is controlled by professional actors who do not comply with the principles of the sharing economy. Its activity is based on taking advantage of the "rent gaps" generated by Airbnb and expanding real estate income by transforming residential housing into short-term rentals for tourists, which drives up touristification processes. This process is generating discomfort among citizens and is giving rise to new resistances against the touristization of the city. In second place, the article analyzes the social responses that are taking place against the recent urban touristification that has taken place in the center of the city of Madrid, paying special attention to the variety of political actors, strategies and collective actions in the center of Madrid over the past years. This article seeks to analyze how touristification is expanding through Airbnb, and to offer an analysis of the approach with which urban social movements fight for an inclusive urban coexistence in the complex 'tourist city'. 

Labor mobility is common in certain professions, including the Armed Forces. Military people have to assume several changes of assignment along their   carriers and, sometimes, these changes implies geographical mobility. In these situations, when the military has a partner and /or children can take two alternatives. The first is to move just the military to the new location, creating a living apart together model (LAT) and, the second, is when the couple or the whole family move together, creating a cohabiting model. This article has the objective of studying the presence and features of the LAT Model and the Cohabiting Model in the Spanish Armed Forces. To this end, a methodology was designed based on the survey technique with a self-administred questionnaire structured from three thematic areas (sociodemographic, military and opinion) and which was spread by different associations of military and families of Spanish military. The results show which are the main variables that affect the decision to choose one or other of two models (labor, economic and family) and how each model of living affect the couple and the children.

The new media scenarios, the social, economic and political context of the country, and the need to transform the press model to give greater participation to the audience, make in Cuba the studies on agenda setting have been transformed to the particular circumstances that govern The national media system. One of the areas in which changes have been made is the methodology to deepen this process. Therefore, the present study aims to propose a methodology to develop studies of agenda setting in Cuba based on the analysis of relations between political, media and public agendas, and the factors that affect it. The methodology is developed around three important areas for the agenda setting studies: the statistical correlation between the objects and attributes, the influences on the media content, and the contingent conditions. The main contributions of the proposal lie in the possibility of implementing contextualized research to the Cuban reality, whose characteristics and evolution make it a complex system with certain particularities. 

The role of women in management world seems to have become one of the central themes of the current political and media agenda. One of the dissemination tools of the leadership models associated with this group is the managerial literature, which spreads management fashions to the directive class and the general public. In order to identify if the roles assigned to women leaders move away from the traditional femenine gender stereotype, we will try to identify the values that are associated to them through an analysis of managerial literature. Thus, in the present article a proposal of methodological application of the Appraisal Theory will be made for the study of the moral prescriptions contained in the managerial literature.

Tortillas are the main food product in Nicaragua and are part of the diet of all social status. The objective of this research was to study the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of tortillas made from a mixture of plantain and corn to determine in what proportion corn can be substituted without affecting the quality of the tortilla. The corn and plantain flours were mixed to obtain the following three mixtures: M1 = 70/30, M2 = 50/50 and M3 = 60/40 (% corn and plantain). The color and texture of the tortilla were determined in three storage times to see the changes at each moment. For the analysis of the variables, it was observed that the mixture closest to the physicochemical characteristics and the time of storage of the control tortillas was the mixture M1 = 70/30, which presented a better attribute, unlike the other formulations (50/50, 60/40). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the mixture of 70/30 flours (M1) can be used to produce tortillas without effecting preferences. With the sensory analysis, it was possible to identify that the attribute best evaluated by the consumer was the texture of the tortilla made with this mixture. For the production costs of the selected mix, to produce 100 bags of plantain flour in combination with corn flour, it is necessary to invest $ 1624.27 córdobas, which results in a cost per tortilla unit of $ 1.29.

The research consisted selecting a processing method for green plantain tostones, which is reachable for a small company, the methods tested were: blanching, 5% brine immersion and 5% brine, before the pre-fried, with the objective to preserve quality. Of the organoleptic characteristics of frozen tostones and vacuum packed. To select the best preparation method for the tostones, the raw material was characterized, selecting plantain in state of maturation 3, with a day of harvest, of the variety Horn Dwarf, with the physical and chemical characteristics (acidity, ° Brix, humidity , size and firmness) suitable for the preparation of tostones of organoleptic quality. The experiments were prepared with the three preparation methods and it was determined, by sensory analysis, that the dipping in brine and the brine scalding have better organoleptic characteristics, therefore, both preparations were subjected to vacuum freezing, to be compared with the fresh product in the final sensory evaluation. In the last sensory evaluation, the selected preparation methods were compared with samples of fresh tostones, and the panelists preferred the tostones prepared with the proposed methods and those that were in freezing, before the freshly prepared tostones. The performance of the methods dipping in brine and brine scalding was calculated, which resulted in 38.8% and 35.6% respectively. Selecting the method of preparation of dipping in brine for 90 minutes, as the one that allows to preserve the organoleptic quality of frozen pre-fried tostones and vacuum packed, calculating a cost per toston of C $ 1.59.
