Este trabajo busca contribuir al desarrollo de estrategias pedagógicas para el diálogo con estudiantes universitarios, en un contexto nacional marcado por crecientes niveles de violencia social derivados de la "guerra contra el narcotráfico" en México. Al retomar conceptos como trauma psicosocial y educación en contextos de emergencia, destaca la necesidad de abrir espacios curriculares para reflexionar sobre el impacto personal y colectivo de la violencia. La propuesta se inscribe en la pedagogía crítica para la paz e integra prácticas narrativas, círculos restaurativos y mediación. Herramientas pedagógicas permiten al profesorado conducir sesiones de diálogo en un entorno seguro, orientadas a fortalecer vínculos sociales y explorar recursos para la acción individual y colectiva. Escuchar, narrar y actuar son las fases de esta aproximación, que representa un esfuerzo desde la educación para reconstruir el tejido social en sociedades afectadas por violencia generalizada.

Homelessness and mental illness frequently occur together. Individuals who have a mental illness and are homeless may experience a range of challenges and are often underserved by behavioral health professionals. This study used Participatory Action Research to form a working group (n=6), which met at a homeless shelter located in a small city in the United States (U.S) mid-Atlantic region, to generate insights and responses to the challenges they had encountered. The authors posed several research questions in the context of lived experiences of individuals who experience homelessness and mental illness. The researchers used Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to interpret the data in light of these questions. We generated four key themes: the trauma of homelessness and mental illness, the power of personal connection, personal agency, and achievement, and meaning through action. For mental health counselors, suggestions include incorporating a trauma-informed framework, minimal turnover in counselor coverage, and a client-centered approach.

This study investigates how first-time mothers participate in online discussions in WeChat groups to support their adaptation to motherhood. Online ethnography and in-depth interviews are employed to examine the psychological and behavioural aspects of these first-time mothers within WeChat groups, as well as the group construction process. The study’s findings show that WeChat groups, formed around common identity, have integrated new media technology into the cultural practices of distinct social groups. Within these groups, first-time mothers establish unique information exchange networks with other first-time mothers, enabling the sharing of experiences, emotions, and resources, ultimately creating de facto identity communities. Moreover, WeChat groups serve as vital channels for acquiring and distributing social capital, expanding parenting resources and social networks. The study highlights the crucial role of WeChat groups in providing support to first-time mothers as they navigate motherhood while fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging within this virtual community.

Objective. To assess the legislative frameworks concerning childhood vaccination in the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean and propose a model legislative framework for Caribbean countries. Methods. This study included a survey of 22 countries and territories in the Caribbean regarding legal vaccination mandates for school entry, budget allocations, sanctions, or exemptions. A legal consultant conducted a comprehensive search and analysis of legislation regarding vaccination among 13 Caribbean countries/territories. A comparative analysis of the legislation under five themes—legislative structure, mandatory vaccination, national immunization schedule, sanctions, and exemptions—formed the basis for the proposed model legislation. Results. Among the 22 Caribbean countries/territories, 17 (77%) had legislation mandating vaccination, 16 (94%) mandated vaccination for school entry, 8 (47%) had a dedicated budget for immunization programs, and 13 (76%) had no legislated national schedules. The source of legislation includes six (35%) using the Education Act, eight (47%) the Public Health Act, and five (29%) a free-standing Vaccination Act. Three countries/territories—Jamaica, Montserrat, and Saint Lucia—had immunization regulations. In 12 (71%) of the 17 countries with legislation, sanctions were included, and 10 (59%) permitted exemptions for medical or religious/philosophical beliefs. Conclusions. Several countries in the Caribbean have made failure to vaccinate a child an offense. By summarizing the existing legislative frameworks and approaches to immunization in the Caribbean, the analysis guides policymakers in making effective changes to immunization legislation in their own countries.

The genesis of the fictions of Gustavo Álvarez and Albalucía Ángel is demarcated in ‘el 9 de abril’, name given to the social outburst that occurs in Colombia after the magnicide of the politician Jorge Eliécer Gaitán (1948). The notion of martyrdom is assimilated in the literary works as a sign and a myth to depict the disproportion of violence under the frame of the bipartisan conflict. In the fictions martyrdom is implemented as a narrative device and an artefact to revisit the past and reflect on the nation. By adopting postmodernist readings in fields such as ‘biopolitics’, cultural sociology, and concepts like ‘culture hybridity’ proposed by Homi Bhabha, we find that disfigurations of original Christian myths take place in the fictions with a subversive purpose. Although modern martyrdom is rooted in Christianity, the phenomenon erases the borders between politics and religion, given that its secularization is manifested through social movements and the cultural construction that rises around the martyr. Nowadays, ‘el 9 de abril’ not only commemorates the magnicide, but it has established itself as a National Civic Day to pay homage to all the victims of the armed conflict.

This study aims to assess coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surveillance methods, health resources, vaccination coverage and income stratification and quantify burdens of disease and death in children and adolescents in the Caribbean. The investigation was a descriptive, cross-sectional study that included 15 Caribbean countries/territories and utilized surveys and secondary data sources. Quarantine and isolation measures were robust and surveillance strategies were similar. Pediatric specialists were available across the region, but few had designated pediatric hospitals or high-dependency units. There were more cases in children on islands with larger populations. Compared to high-income countries/territories, upper and lower middle-income countries/territories had higher disease burdens, fewer doctors and nurses per 1 000 population, lower bed capacities, and lower vaccination coverage. Child and adolescent cases ranged from 0.60% to 16.9%, compared with a global case rate of 20.2% in 2021. By August 2021 there were 33 deaths among children from Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados. The respective case fatality rates for 09-year-olds and 1019-year-olds were 2.80 and 0.70 in Haiti, 0.10 and 0.20 in Jamaica, and 0.00 and 0.14 in Trinidad, compared with 0.17 and 0.1 globally. Overall COVID-19 incidence and mortality in children were consistent with global estimates. Limited resources have been offset by availability of pediatricians across the region, and minimally direct effects on children. Prioritization of admission of specific at-risk groups, training of first responders and vaccination campaigns targeting pregnant women and vulnerable children and adolescents could benefit countries with low vaccine coverage rates and limited resources.

“Can Instagram make poems sell again?” (Maher). Poetry published via social media platforms, namely Instagram, not only provides readers with a “nuevo medio [que] equivale a nueva formación” [new medium and a new form] but one that “a la larga provoca una nueva concepción de lo poético” [forges a new understanding of poetry] (Quinto 198). The poetic phenomenon has sparked an interesting debate regarding its validity and position within the literary field, as critics and journalists alike are beginning to either critique or justify the emerging presence of Instagram poetry (Instapoesía) in the contemporary landscape of Spanish literature. This article, in adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework of the notion of prestige, will make critical interventions into this debate, not only in the consideration of the social and communicative aspects of social media, but also in understanding the importance of “reader dispositions” in the online literary space (Shapiro 251). The author focuses on one of the most prominent Spanish-speaking online poets, Elvira Sastre, not only to demonstrate how poets operating on social media dedicate their work to the online space, but also how they appeal to the public in order to gain symbolic capital. By observing how aesthetic expectations of the “field” can be both replicated and rejected by characteristics of the digital medium, this investigation will analyse how this digital poetry is contributing to today’s cultural field, while changing contemporary understandings of what constitutes a valued or prestigious text in Spanish poetry.

ABSTRACT: The impact of access to financial services (AFS) and access to informal financial services (AIFS) on farmer income is examined in this study. After a multi-stage random sampling procedure, the study used a sample size of 478 people from two regions in Ghana. The endogenous treatment regression (ETR) model was used to account for selection bias while the unconditional quantile regression (UQR) model was used for a heterogenous analysis. The findings showed that education, financial literacy, IT access, farm size, and distance were all factors of access to financial services. Similarly, the findings revealed a positive and statistically significant link between household income and access to formal financial services. Similarly, there was a positive and significant association between access to informal financial services and household income. The findings showed that access to formal and informal financial services has different effects on household income. As a result, the effects of access to financial services on income varied by quantile. Based on the findings of the study, we developed policies to boost financial services accessibility as a means of increasing household income.

“Analysing digital poetry, namely poetry published and disseminated via social media, will allow for a better chance at understanding how literature participates in contemporary culture” (Schaefer 179). Contemporary culture is now marked by the Covid-19 global pandemic. As daily lives are permeated by various governmental restrictions and lockdowns that prevent physicality and privilege digitality, online operations have never been more necessary for communication, connection, and interaction. Meanwhile, a new generation of Spanish poets wields the social media environment as its writing space. Instagram poems or 'Instapoemas' published by the likes of Leticia Sala, Elvira Sastre, and Diego Bergasa exemplify personal experience and grapple with nostalgia for “pre-Covid” life. These texts not only forge connections between reader–users in a period of isolation and uncertainty but assist in navigating the changing society of today, reflecting on the past while posing questions regarding the future of society and of contemporary poetry.

Este trabajo se plantea como objetivo general analizar procesos de salida de la situación de calle de personas que fueron usuarias de refugios para personas sin hogar, del Ministerio de Desarrollo Social (MIDES) de Uruguay durante el período 2014-2017. Tomando como referencia teórico metodológica la perspectiva de cursos de vida (Elder, 1985), se analizaron 30 entrevistas en profundidad donde se abordaron diferentes temporalidades de las trayectorias de vida y su relación con los procesos de salida de los refugios del MIDES. Uno modo de analizar comprensivamente las rutas de salida, es a través de la tipología propuesta por algunos autores que plantean tipos de salidas independientes y dependientes (Sosin et al., 1990; Piliavin et al., 1996; O’Sullivan et al., 2008). Nuestro análisis mostró que esta categorización es pertinente para el caso uruguayo, pero fue necesario readaptarla. Esto además de conllevar connotaciones conceptuales, da cuenta de la diferencia que presentan las salidas de los casos uruguayos –donde las salidas “dependientes” se sustentan fundamentalmente en las redes primarias- respecto a las de otras sociedades con mayores niveles de desarrollo en políticas de prevención, donde las salidas “dependientes” se sustentan en gran parte, con apoyos institucionales.

En el presente artículo se describen las percepciones que las autoridades políticas jóvenes electas en el Perú durante el período 2015 a 2018 tienen de la política institucional. Para ello se consideraron variables como educación, empleo, participación juvenil, trayectorias políticas, así como las percepciones que las autoridades jóvenes tienen sobre la democracia, la política y las condiciones juveniles. Se aplicaron 172 encuestas a estos actores en el VI Encuentro Nacional de Autoridades Políticas Jóvenes, realizado en la ciudad de Lima. Las percepciones se caracterizan por rastrear condiciones juveniles diferenciadas en lo educativo y laboral, así como significados que asocian a la democracia y la política con la discusión de lo público y el bien común.

Objetivo: descrever os casos de óbitos notificados por complicações de assistência médica e cirúrgica no Brasil entre 2015 a 2018. Método: descritivo e retrospectivo conduzido entre junho e julho de 2020 com os registros de óbitos extraídos do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade em Saúde. Os dados foram agrupados em dois biênios 2015-2016 e 2017-2018 e analisados por estatística descritiva e variações percentuais. Resultados: foram notificados 6.587 óbitos, com destaque para o biênio 2017-2018 (n=3.425;52%). Os óbitos ocasionados pelo uso de equipamentos médicos reduziram no Brasil, com variação percentual negativa de 15,4% entre os biênios. Houve aumento das mortes por efeitos adversos de drogas/medicamentos com variação percentual positiva de 12,2%. O número de óbitos por acidentes durante a assistência hospitalar se manteve estacionário. Conclusão: observaram-se alterações nos registros de óbitos notificados no Brasil, e expandir ações preventivas que visem reduzir os óbitos são necessárias em todos os grupos de notificação.

Investigating effectiveness of learning analytics is a major topic of research, with a recent systematic review finding 689 papers in this field (Larrabee Sonderlund et al., 2019). Few of these (11 out of 689) highlight the potential of interventions based on learning analytics. The Open University UK (OU) is one of few institutions to systematically develop and implement a learning analytics framework at scale. This paper reviews the impact of one part of this framework - the Analytics for Action (A4A) process, focusing on the 2017-18 academic year and reviewing both feedback from module teams and interventions coming out of the process. The A4A process includes hands-on training for staff, followed by data support meetings with educators when the course is live to students. The aim being to help educators with making informed, evidence-based interventions to aid student retention and engagement. Findings from this study indicate that participants are satisfied with the training and that the data support meetings are helping in providing new perspectives on the data. The scope and nature of actions taken by module teams varies widely, ranging from no intervention at all to interventions spanning over multiple presentations. In some cases, measuring the impact of the actions taken will require data analysis from further presentations. The paper also presents findings indicating room for improvement in the follow up of the actions agreed, support given to module teams to implement such actions and final evaluation of impact on student outcomes.

Abstract Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis is a rare skin disorder characterized by the presence of umbilicated pruritic papules and nodules. Transepidermal elimination of altered and perforating bundles of basophilic collagen from the epidermis is a characteristic histologic feature of acquired reactive perforating collagenosis. Along with its well-known association with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and dermatomyositis, there are reports of acquired reactive perforating collagenosis being associated with malignancies. Herein, we present a case of acquired reactive perforating collagenosis associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, prostate adenocarcinoma, and Graves's disease. Clinicians are required to be more vigilant in evaluating patients with acquired reactive perforating collagenosis due to its unique association with malignancies and other systemic diseases.

Este trabajo reporta algunos resultados de una tesis doctoral que lleva a cabo un análisis de prácticas docentes desde una perspectiva interaccionista, con el Modelo EPR, el cual enfoca tres lógicas de actuación: Epistemológica, Pragmática y Relacional. Se documentan las prácticas que desarrolla una docente que labora en un preescolar urbano-marginal, quien apuesta por ampliar los horizontes de vida de sus alumnos, y con ello revertir en algún sentido las consecuencias de las condiciones de pobreza y exclusión de su entorno. Las prácticas descritas son posteriormente analizadas desde una mirada socioconstructivista, destacando la generación de oportunidades de aprendizaje ofrecidas a los estudiantes. Asimismo, se revisan desde los procesos de inclusión que tienen lugar. Los resultados muestran que el conjunto de reglas de acción de la profesora, tales como la observación y escucha atenta a sus alumnos, la cercanía física, la pregunta como detonadora de reflexiones, la tutoría entre pares, el respeto y aprecio y la atención a las diferencias individuales de sus estudiantes son formas de interacción pedagógica con alto potencial para favorecer los aprendizajes y el desarrollo, así como para construir la convivencia, entendida como la promoción de relaciones basadas en la inclusión, la equidad y la participación.

Este trabajo reporta el avance parcial de una investigación doctoral orientada a comprender las experiencias de literacidad que permitieron formarse como sujetos lectores a docentes de preescolar. Se trata de un estudio con un enfoque cualitativo a través del método autobiográfico narrativo. Se trabajó con un grupo de seis docentes de varios municipios del estado de Querétaro, quienes, a través de una pregunta generadora, escribieron un relato sobre situaciones, personas y textos con los que interactuaron en sus itinerarios de vida lectora. Se realizó el análisis con una perspectiva hermenéutica, horizontal temática, desde la mirada sociocultural de la literacidad. Entre los resultados, se destaca que la participación de la familia en los primeros años del proceso lector está centrada en la alfabetización a través de la reproducción mecánica de letras, copia de planas, tareas y fluidez lectora. También se dan, en menor medida, espacios de encuentro libre, lúdico, de disfrute de la lectura, principalmente con textos vernáculos. Sin embargo, la evidencia de que el espacio familiar reproduce los patrones escolares de acercamiento con la lengua escrita, limita la forma en que la familia puede aportar al proceso lector del sujeto.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the meaning of sexuality by rural elderly women. Method: a qualitative exploratory and descriptive research, carried out through interview at the home with 26 rural elderly women, aged between 60 and 69 years. The data were analyzed by the thematic content analysis technique of Bardin. Results: understanding sexuality is linked to the construction of sexual and/or loving relationship, and positive and negative factors that interfere with the exercise of sexuality: good relationship with the spouse, physical and mental benefits, chronological age, health problems, no spouse, sexual disinterest and fear of relating for fear or disappointment. Final considerations: there is a decline in the maintenance of sexuality linked to the end of the reproductive period, to the advancing age and the low social perspective that is common for rural elderly women.

Latin American mental health services are moving from the psychiatric hospital model to a community-based model. The effectiveness of these new services needs to be evaluated and that can be done through routine outcome monitoring. The present communication introduces the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure(CORE-OM), a free instrument, supported with rigorous psychometric exploration, and which has been translated to Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese that can be used for monitoring purposes across the region.

O objetivo foi avaliar diferentes teores de farelo de crambe (0, 330, 670 e 1000 g kg -1 MS) em substituição ao farelo de soja na ração de ovinos confinados, sobre o desempenho, características de carcaça e componentes não-carcaça. Foram utilizados 24 cordeiros, machos, castrados, com peso médio inicial de 18,2 kg e aproximadamente quatro meses de idade, distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. As rações foram formuladas para atender as exigências nutricionais para ganho de peso diário de 0, 200 kg dia-1. A proporção volumoso:concentrado foi de 60:40, e o volumoso utilizado foi o feno de Brachiaria dyctioneura. Foram avaliados o consumo de matéria seca, conversão alimentar, ganho de peso diário, características de carcaça e componentes não-carcaça. Não houve efeito dos diferentes teores de substituição do farelo de soja pelo farelo de crambe sobre as variáveis de desempenho, características de carcaça e componentes não-carcaça, com exceção do peso do coração. A substituição de 1000 g kg-1MS da proteína do farelo de soja pela proteína do farelo de crambe não afeta o desempenho, características de carcaça e componentes não-carcaça.

Within the framework of a European Erasmus+ project, trainee mediators were interviewed about their experience. The encounters took place in unstructured, in-depth qualitative biographical-narrative interviews, in which individuals who are engaged in dialogic interaction create shared understanding and give meaning to their stories. The interview is interactive, co-constructed. The detail of the interview language documents how meaning-making takes place, and how this is affected by group belonging, ethnic or cultural discourses, as well as gender, age, professional and educational relationships, and so on. The interview is sensitive to language resources and their use in the co-construction of meaning. This paper, using extracts from one biographical narrative, shows that the languaged form that these narratives of the biographical learning of mediators take can offer insight into the learning processes triggered by learning in communities of practice, and that the creation of a common space of experience can be heard as it emerges in biographical talk. Biographical resources, biographicity, and their relationship with language and society are considered, and in the interview narratives the creation of a learning space, a space for the development and unfolding of notions and practices of mediation can be observed, heard and shared.

Dentro da estrutura de um projeto Erasmus+ europeu, foram entrevistados mediadores estagiários sobre a sua experiência. Os contactos realizaram-se através de entrevistas não estruturadas, biográfico-narrativas qualitativamente profundas, nas quais indivíduos comprometidos com a interação dialógica criaram um entendimento partilhado, dando significado às suas histórias. Trata-se de entrevistas interativas, co-construídas. O detalhe da linguagem da entrevista documenta como a construção do significado ocorre, e como esta é afetada por motivos de pertença a determinados grupos, por discursos sobre etnias e culturas, assim como pelo género, idade, relações profissionais e educacionais, entre outros. A entrevista é sensível aos recursos da linguagem e aos seus usos na co-construção do significado. Este artigo, usando excertos de uma narrativa biográfica, mostra que a forma falante destas narrativas da aprendizagem biográfica dos mediadores pode oferecer uma visão do processo do conhecimento despoletado pela aprendizagem em comunidades de práticas, e que a criação de um espaço comum de experiência pode ser ouvido na conversa biográfica. Os recursos biográficos, a biograficidade e a sua relação com a linguagem e sociedade são considerados e, nas narrativas da entrevista podem ser observadas, ouvidas e partilhadas a criação de um espaço de aprendizagem, um espaço para o desenvolvimento e a revelação de noções e práticas de mediação.

Researchers in second language acquisition (SLA) have examined the acquisition and use of tense-aspect (TA) morphology in predominantly tutored, second language (L2) varieties (Andersen & Shirai 1996; Bardovi-Harlig 1998; Quesada 2013; Salaberry 2005, 2011, 2013). Language contact scholars have focused on L2 acquisition in immigrant situations in which L2 learners acquire the host country’s language in an untutored environment (Clements 2002, 2003, 2009; Klein & Perdue 1992, 1997; Sharma & Deo 2010). This case study addresses the effects of instructed and non-instructed contexts on language learning by examining similarities and differences in L2 use of TA morphology among three Chinese-Spanish learner varieties: an untutored variety spoken by a Chinese immigrant living in Spain (Clements 2003, 2009) and two tutored varieties spoken by Chinese learners of Spanish who are studying in the United States and have varying degrees of experience with Spanish. The production data, retrieved from three 45-minute sociolinguistic interviews, yielded a total of 390 tokens. Quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed trends across the learner varieties, which include lower rates of overtly marking state verbs in all learner varieties, an innovative aspectual marker ya ‘already’ in the Chinese immigrant variety, and a distinct interplay of semantic factors for each L2 variety. Findings suggest an effect of the learning context on L2 use of TA morphology.

Nuevos desafíos plantean iniciativas de innovación en la formación universitaria ante la vulnerabilidad ambiental y la creciente emergencia energética en el marco del desarrollo sustentable y reducir el impacto ambiental del hábitat construido. Ello exige sensibilizar al productor de hábitat y fortalecer su capacitación para enfrentar nuevas demandas en el desempeño profesional e institucional y responder a la problemática ambiental en el contexto de riesgo social y económico. La integración de investigación en la formación académica, con prácticas metodológicas de experimentación, evaluación y calificación incorporadas integralmente en el desarrollo de proyectos de arquitectura y urbanismo, contribuye a la efectiva implementación de criterios y herramientas de sustentabilidad en arquitectura, urbanismo y construcción, favoreciendo su transferencia al campo social y económico en el marco del desarrollo sustentable.

Abstract: Little is known about how perceptions of government affects women’s views of violence against women. This qualitative study examines women’s perceptions of violence against women laws and trust in the health and legal sector response in São Paulo State, Brazil. Thirty interviews with female residents of Santo André, 18 years and older, were audio recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed for themes using MAXQDA12 software. All women were familiar with at least one federal violence against women law. They expressed widespread lack of trust in the government. They viewed the legal sector as ineffective and felt violence against women laws have little impact, or exacerbate violence. Disdain for the health sector was less prominent than for the legal sector. A generalized lack of trust in government manifests as a lack of confidence in these laws for women seeking support through legal and health sectors. Adoption of legal protections for women is a significant accomplishment. However, health and legal sector violence against women response needs to consider perceptions of government, how violence against women laws are operationalized, and the role of each sector in ensuring women’s safety. Violence against women response efforts should include standardized intersectoral procedures including referral to accessible resources and means of screening women who may be at high risk for femicide.

Abstract This study explores the relationship between agricultural governance and food security in Nigeria and employs two main approaches: descriptive and econometric. The econometric approach engages Autoregressive Distribution Lag (ARDL) in examining the long-run relationship between the indicators of food security and agricultural governance for the period 1985 to 2016. The results show that in the long-run, agricultural performance contribute to food security in Nigeria. The findings from the descriptive analysis unveil that Nigeria has the highest number of undernourished people, which increased by 22% between 2000 and 2001. Between 2000 and 2015, the population grew by 30.60% with the rate of violence increasing by 55%. The study recommends, among others, that accountability in addressing the challenges in the implementation of food security programs and ensuring timely distribution of food resources is germane.

Objective: To analyze the social representations of pregnant women about prenatal nursing consultation. Method: a qualitative study conducted with 30 pregnant women accompanied by Family Health nurses through semi-structured interviews, processed by the Iramuteq software, with subsequent Content Analysis. Results: prenatal care was an important moment for the participants, especially because it made it possible to understand the discoveries about the formation of a new being, highlighting the dialogue and orientations that the nurse passed through. It also allows to elucidate the evolution of pregnancy through routine and complementary examinations, assuring them of a healthy outcome. Final considerations: This research demonstrated that the interviewees aimed at the figure of the nurse as someone who gives them security, anchored in the idea that putting into practice what is directed to them, the culmination will occur with the birth of a healthy baby.

Este estudo é parte de uma exploração da violência de gênero. Verifique se a espontaneidade está correlacionada com o fato de estar psicológico em estudantes universitários italianos e austríacos, n = 166 e 146, respectivamente, usando três questionários de autorrelato: Inventário de Avaliação de Espontaneidade - revisado (SAI-R); a Medida de Resultado (CORE-OM) e Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI - II). Os resultados mostram boa consistência interna para todas as medidas e correlações fortes e estatisticamente significantes entre as medidas nas medidas esperadas nos dois países. Esses achados em cores não clínicas são congruentes com o modelo teórico e definido como terreno para uso futuro em clínicas clínicas.

Resumen En la bibliografía que cita Candel Sanmartín al traducir al español el Órganon de Aristóteles, nos dice: "H. Bonitz, Index Aristotelicus [ ... ] continúa siendo un instrumento indispensable para el estudio de Aristóteles". Con profesores de griego, latín y filosofía de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (UNCuyo), publicamos en el año 2010 el libro Antología del Index Aristotelicus de Bonitz. Por motivos fácticos no pudimos incluir en dicha Antología el artículo sobre la voz οὐσία, con la inserción en español de los textos aristotélicos que Bonitz cita en griego junto con la indicación de las obras en que ellos aparecen. Apreciamos esta publicación de nuestro estudio de la voz oóc;fa en Index Aristotelicus de Bonitz, con respecto a la cual hemos aplicado la misma metodología que en la Antología mencionada. Οὐσία es una de las palabras clave del pensamiento aristotélico. Palabras clave: política; ética; metafísica; lógica filosófica. Abstract In the bibliography to which Miguel Candel Sanmartín remit us in his spanish translation of Aristotle's Organon, he says: "H. Bonitz, Index Aristotelicus [ ... ]. It is still an indispensable instrument in order to study Aristotle's works". A group of Latin, Greek and Philosophy professors belonging to the School of Philosophie and Literature (UNCuyo) published, in 2010, a book named Antología del Index Aristotelicus de Bonitz. Due to sorne circumstances, at that moment we couldn't insert in our Antologie the article corresponding to the voice οὐσία, including our translation to Spanish of aristotelian texts referred by Bonitz in Greek language, together with the indication of the works in which these appears. We appreciate the publication of Bonitz's investigation of the voice οὐσία performed in accordance with the metodology applied in the mentioned Antology. The voice οὐσία is one of the key words of the Aristotle's thougt. Keywords: Politics; Ethics; Metaphysics; Philosophical Logic.

How are claims to justice formulated, invoked and confronted in relation to reports of mass human suffering? What notions of justice inform the scope and nature of official inquiries into harms and the responsiveness of governments to their findings and recommendations? Why, despite legal and public recognition of claims of injustice, does harm so often continue? This introduction to the Special Issue ‘Moving On’? Official Responses to Mass Harm and the Question of Justice critically reflects on the hypothesis that official responses to claims of injustice that focus on ‘moving on’ risk ignoring, or precluding, the structural causes and legacies of personal suffering and suggests an interdisciplinary framework within which to analyse the effectiveness of official responses to mass harm as mechanisms of justice. ¿Cómo se formulan, invocan y confrontan las demandas de justicia en relación con los informes de sufrimiento humano colectivo? ¿Qué nociones de justicia dan cuenta del alcance y la naturaleza de las investigaciones oficiales de daños y la capacidad de respuesta de los gobiernos ante las conclusiones y recomendaciones? ¿Por qué continúa tantas veces el daño, a pesar del reconocimiento legal y público de las denuncias de injusticias? Esta introducción al número especial 'Moving On'? Official Responses to Mass Harm and the Question of Justice hace una reflexión crítica sobre la hipótesis de que las respuestas oficiales a las denuncias de injusticias que se centran en "avanzar" corren el riesgo de ignorar, o excluir, las causas estructurales y los legados de sufrimiento personal y sugiere un marco interdisciplinario en el que analizar la eficacia de las respuestas oficiales a los daños masivos como mecanismos de justicia.

This article’s objective is to present, via bibliographic research, the territorial makeup of colonial Brazil (1500-1822) and the Brazilian historical approach at the beginning of the twentieth century that sought to relate questions and concepts of frontier, territoriality, and nature in the historic role of the bandeirante movement. The goal here is to address territorial and geographic questions, but also environmental ones, based on historical geography, and to present arguments that fall in the nexus between history and nature in the debate on Brazilian territorial expansion. The text is grounded in classical works, and works by renown authors on this topic, but we also include discussion of less well known sources. The intent is to identify how the theme of bandeirantes and Brazilian westward expansion can be analyzed differently in the pertinent specialized historical literature.

This article reads the dynamic 'vers libre' of Valery Larbaud’s 'Poésies d’A. O. Barnabooth' (1913) as a rejection of literary and cultural nationalism, and an enthusiastic embrace of internationalism made possible by early twentieth-century developments in global transport networks, the tourism industry and the broadening of experiential horizons. In the character of Barnabooth, a sentimental young billionaire inclined to poetry, Larbaud indulges his fantasy of the rootless vagabond, stateless by birth, who roams unhindered. A voracious polyglot with no native language, Barnabooth is a translingual writer who in his poems in French expresses a commitment to transnationalism as multi-directional belonging, declaring himself ‘un grand patriote cosmopolite’. While Larbaud’s passionate cosmopolitanism has been dismissed as the dilettantish privilege of the wealthy elite, Barnabooth recounts his travels in striking polyphonic poems which allow diverse voices from around the world, as well as the noisy, dissonant soundscapes of global travel such as trains, boats, stormy seas, city streets and fragments of popular song to permeate the text. Poetic form emerges as a central feature of this opening up to the world, with 'vers libre' providing a mobile, transnational verse capable of transcending tired national paradigms. Yet Larbaud’s free verse includes numerous echoes of former national glories: fragments of the alexandrine appear fleetingly amid the poems’ infinite rhythmic diversity, as the vestiges of late nineteenth-century nation-statehood resurface within this new, transnational mode of being. Larbaud’s innovative textual forms capture something of the interplay between fragile national identities and the transient, unsettling experience of the endless voyage. The rhythmic fabric of his 'vers libre' juxtaposes regular and irregular, national and international, enacting the central tension of his statelessness, between belonging and rupture, in which Barnabooth, ‘ce coeur de vagabond’, pursues his dream: ‘Être un perpétuel évadé de tous les milieux’.

Objetivo: compreender o significado de sexualidade para homens idosos de área rural. Método: pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, realizada com 23 homens idosos de área rural, com idade entre 60-69 anos. A coleta deu-se por meio do preenchimento de questionário de identificação socioeconômica e saúde, além de entrevista semiestruturada única, individual e no domicílio. Os dados foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo temática de Bardin. Resultados: a compreensão de sexualidade está intimamente ligada à construção da relação sexual e amorosa, com novas conformações na prática da sexualidade, e a fatores de interferência – idade cronológica e condição de saúde alterada. Conclusão: para os participantes deste estudo aparece com ênfase o significado da sexualidade associada à prática sexual em si, ao ato sexual. Entretanto, há também a compreensão mais subjetiva da sexualidade embasada na afetividade e nas relações amorosas, que inclui sentimentos, carinho, carícias e diálogo conjugal.Descritores: Sexualidade.

New Hampshire’s Performance Assessment of Competency Education (PACE) pilot received a waiver from federal statutory requirements related to state annual achievement testing starting in the 2014-15 school year. PACE is considered an “innovative” assessment and accountability system because performance assessments are used to help determine student proficiency in most federally required grades and subjects instead of the state achievement test. One key criterion for success in the early years of the PACE innovative assessment system is “no harm” on the statewide accountability test. This descriptive study examines the effect of PACE on Grades 8 and 11 mathematics and English language arts student achievement during the first three years of implementation (2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17 school years) and the extent to which those effects vary for certain student subgroups using results from the state’s accountability tests (Smarter Balanced and SATs). Findings suggest that students in PACE schools tend to exhibit small positive effects on the Grades 8 and 11 state achievement tests in both subjects in comparison to students attending non-PACE comparison schools. Lower achieving students tended to exhibit small positive differential effects, whereas male students tended to exhibit small negative differential effects. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.

The Cheese and the Worms and Inheriting Power are two emblematic works of Italian microhistory. This is a comparative exercise between both publications, in an attempt to identify some clues about the microhistorical paradigm. The method used is a synchronous comparison by similarity and contrast, using the classic microhistory’s premises as terms of analysis. The sources consulted, besides the books in question, privilege the direct testimony of the authors in interviews and theoretical texts in order to capture the spirit of their ideas with the minimum mediation. The parallel exhibited a high degree of conceptual dissonance incompatible with the microhistory’s perception as a monolithic trend at least as far as its two Italian leaders are concerned. In conclusion, rather than the uniform criteria, the writings reflect on the coexistance under a same model of two ways of approching the past.

Introduction: The Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measurement (CORE-OM) was developed in the 1990s, with the aim of assessing the efficacy and effectiveness of mental health treatments. Objective: To adapt the CORE-OM for use in the Brazilian population. Method: The instrument was translated and adapted based on the international protocol developed by the CORE System Trust which contains seven steps: translation, semantic equivalence analysis, synthesis of the translated versions, pre-testing in the target population, data analysis and back translation. Results: After semantic analysis, modifications were necessary in seven of the 34 original items. Changes were made to avoid repetition of words and the use of terms difficult to understand. Internal consistency analysis showed evidence of score stability in the CORE-OM adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Conclusion: The instrument was successfully adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, and its semantic and conceptual properties were equivalent to those of the original instrument.

A inclusão escolar tem causado debates entre profissionais da área de educação e da saúde. Neste contexto, a participação da fisioterapia pode contribuir para que o aluno desenvolva suas potencialidades no ambiente escolar. Entretanto, esta área é pouco explorada e ainda são restritos os trabalhos em relação à atuação do fisioterapeuta como membro integrante de um grupo de apoio à escola, que realiza a inclusão de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais. Sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivos verificar as percepções de profissionais, que atuam nas salas de recursos, em relação às possíveis contribuições da fisioterapia na inclusão escolar e conhecer as principais dificuldades encontradas por esses profissionais. Fizeram parte do estudo oito professoras de três escolas estaduais de Uruguaiana-RS. O instrumento utilizado foi uma entrevista semiestruturada, que foi realizada individualmente, gravada e posteriormente transcrita para a análise. Os dados coletados foram analisados de acordo com a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2004). Os resultados mostram que as entrevistadas possuem uma concepção positiva em relação à fisioterapia na inclusão de escolares, pois reconhecem a sua importância e também possuem conhecimento sobre as possíveis formas de contribuição. Diante dos relatos, foi possível concluir que existem possibilidades da fisioterapia poder contribuir na inclusão escolar e também há a necessidade do profissional fisioterapeuta disseminar conhecimento sobre a sua atuação para a comunidade universitária e escolar.

Researches about User-Generated Content (UGC) have gained attention in the fields of Tourism and Hospitality in the last years. This study focus on online reviews about alternative accommodations – B&Bs and Inns. The development of this work was realized applying inductive methods and using an exploratory approach. We collected a sample of 450 online reviews and analyzed them segment by segment, making a total of 4621 segments. We used the Appraisal Theory to assess what attitudes online reviewers are expressing about B&Bs and Inns in Lisbon. We verified that positive appreciation is the most frequent attitude while expressions of affect and judgment are more rare. This study contributes to the academy as it brings a new parameter of analysis of UGC using the Appraisal Theory in the field of Hospitality.

The objective of this work was to study the feeding behavior of Nellore beef cattle in feedlot fed with diets containing different corn hybrids. Twenty-seven animals averaging 350 ± 24 kg of body weight and 24 months of age, were used. The animals were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments (T), where, T1-TDFC: total diet containing flint corn, T2-TDSFC: total diet containing semi-flint corn and T3-TDSDC: total diet containing semi-dent corn, with 9 replicates per treatment. The animals were fed ad libitum twice a day (at 8:00am and 4:00pm) with a isocaloric and isonitrogenous diet, with 30% of sugar cane bagasse and 70% concentrate (88% maize, 8% soybean meal, 3% mineral and vitamin supplement and 1% urea) for 95 days (14 days of adaptation and 3 experimental periods of 27 days each). The animals were weighed at the beginning of the experiment and after each period of 27 days, always in a fasting period of 16 hours. The evaluation of animals feeding behavior occurred at the last day of each period by visual observation every five minutes for full periods of 24 hours. Observations were made in four shifts: morning (06:00 to 12:00), afternoon (12:00 to 18:00), evening (18:00 to 00:00) and early morning (00:00 06:00) to determine the number of ruminal bolus, chewing time, total feeding time, total ruminating standing time, total ruminating lying time, total standing idle time and total lying idle time. During the night’s observations, the stalls received artificial illumination to facilitate the data collection and the animals were adapted with light at night for three days before observations. Animals fed with diets containing semi-dent corn had longer chew time and more ruminal bolus than those fed with flint corn, but did not differ from those that received semi-flint corn in the diet. The chewing time and number of ruminal bolus varied with the observation periods, being higher in the morning and decreasing in the afternoon, night and early morning. To the time spent feeding, ruminating and idle it was found that animals fed with diets containing flint corn had higher feeding time than those fed with diets containing semi-flint corn and semi-dent corn. Among the other variables there was no significant difference between treatments. It can be concluded that animals fed diets containing semident corn spent more time chewing food had more ruminal bolus than those fed flint corn in the diet. Animals fed diets containing flint corn spent more time feeding than those fed diets with semi-flint or semi-dent corn. The chewing time and number of ruminal bolus is biggest in the morning and decrease in the afternoon, night and early morning.

El presente trabajo reporta los principales resultados de una investigación etnográfica interesada en identificar los valores que los docentes ofrecen a través de su actuación cotidiana, así como analizar sus implicaciones para el desarrollo de la moralidad de sus alumnos. A partir de observaciones en aula y otros espacios escolares, y con base en las perspectivas socio-antropológica y psico-pedagógica sobre los valores, se generan tres "rutas" de acercamiento al objeto de estudio: 1) Comportamiento normativo docente; integra las normas concretas, abstractas y la consistencia en su aplicación. 2)Comportamiento afectivo, refiere a los vehículos utilizados para aludir a las normas y las expresiones afectivas dirigidas al alumno. 3) Conducción de los procesos de enseñanza. Analiza las secuencias de reflexión de contenidos académicos y valorales generadas por los docentes. La investigación releva algunos mecanismos y procesos mediante los cuales se configura cotidianamente la vivencia referida al respeto a la dignidad de los alumnos así como a recibir un trato equitativo en la escuela. En consonancia con los hallazgos de estudios interpretativos sobre acceso y retención en educación básica, se afirma que no solamente la trayectoria escolar está aquí en juego, sino asuntos fundamentales de cara al desarrollo moral de los alumnos.Descriptores: práctica docente - valores - educación moral - institución escolar - calidad educativa The values in teaching practice and the questions for quality and equity in schools This report refers to the main results found in an ethnographic research, which deals with the identification of the values that teachers offer to the students through their daily performance, and the analysis of the implications that this matter has in the moral development of their students. Through the observations in classrooms and other school spaces, as well as the analysis based on the socio-anthoropological and psico-pedagogical theoretical approaches, three "routes" were developed to focus the teaching practices of professors in the basic education level: 1) The normative behaviour, which integrates the concrete norms, the abstract norms and the consistence in their application. 2) The affective behaviour, which refers to the "vehicles", this is the different ways in which the teachers transmit the norms, and the affective expressions that are directed to the students. 3) The conduction of the learning processes. This route analyses the "reflection sequences", through academic and moral contents, that professors offer to their students. This research makes evident some mechanisms through which the "living processes" of respect and equity are established in the relationship between teachers and students.Keywords: teaching practice - values - moral education - school - quality of education

La presente investigación realiza un acercamiento a los conflictos morales que enfrentan directores de escuelas públicas del nivel básico, con el objeto de comprender tramas de relaciones y procesos culturales vinculados tanto con su generación como con su resolución. Las narraciones de 199 directores y directoras de escuelas públicas de Educación Básica en México sobre los dilemas morales que enfrentan en su gestión, son analizadas desde una perspectiva narrativa y socio-cultural. El informe resultante permite describir elementos del orden moral subyacente al funcionamiento de la escuela, el cual tiene el efecto de invisibilizar al alumno como sujeto y su educación como objeto del quehacer profesional de directivos y docentes. Se sostiene que este fenómeno resulta de la conjunción de tres órdenes de factores. Las condiciones materiales y administrativas del puesto directivo, configurado históricamente en favor de su quehacer como director-administrador de la escuela a lo que se añade la necesidad de conducirse como negociador en el margen ante un conjunto de contradicciones de distinto orden que enfrenta cotidianamente. En segundo término, las condiciones político-laborales han privilegiado la vía política como ruta de ascenso en la carrera magisterial, de lo que se deriva el aprendizaje de gestionar el plantel bajo la premisa de orden corporativo que ha establecido el apoyo mutuo entre pares como el último no negociable en la vida escolar. En tercer lugar, las condiciones profesionales aportan un débil conjunto de herramientas de orden pedagógico que por lo mismo no logran configurar criterios que orienten la toma de decisiones considerando el interés de los alumnos. Visto de conjunto, tales criterios serán tanto más insuficientes cuanto más complejos sean los problemas a encarar, quedando subordinada sistemáticamente la perspectiva de lo educativo, lo que equivale a invisibilizar ante los propios agentes educativos, la centralidad del alumno y la protección de sus derechos fundamentales
