Although community studies have been criticized throughout their history, there is currently a renewed interest in researching community. At the same time, in the 21st century, the dissemination of Norbert Elias' thought has increased, however, his proposal on community has been practically unexplored. The purpose of this article is to unravel the structural components present in Elias' theoretical development on communities. Those identified are the following: communities are immersed in a long-term process of change in interdependence with the social structure; they are constituted by a set of close reciprocal dependencies among their members; they present power asymmetries and communication circuits based on gossip.

The genealogies of women help to rescue the biographical profiles and inheritances received from our ancestors in different times, cultures and societies. They constitute a research method to reestablish the threads of memory, revise historical narratives from feminist approaches and highlight diversities, singularities and fissures in the face of globalizing theories and the hegemonic manifestations of power. The article, presented in line with the latest debates on Biography and Autobiography as a historical-literary genre, shows women's capacity to act as agents of change, resistance and opposition, contributes to establish the processes of construction / deconstruction of identities and emphasizes the female protagonism in the production of historical sources.

Introduction: The burnout syndrome occurs when a supportive relationship is maintained with a strong interpersonal relationship with the beneficiaries of that work. Several studies have considered the nursing staff as a fragile group. Some studies revealed that units that generate greater stress are those that meet critical or terminal patients: the environment, physical and emotional continuing demands to the nurses who are subjected by patients, and role ambiguity are characteristics that predispose the development of this syndrome. Objectives: The main objective is to determine the degree of burnout in the team ICU nursing Hospital Medical Ramón y Cajal. Material and methods: Sample of 68 nurses and assistants working in the ICU. As an instrument, we used Maslach Burnout Inventory in its Spanish version, self administered. Results: Low scores on the three dimensions of the syndrome (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment), and most sample with a 45.6%, tendency to suffer. Conclusions: Profile of workers suffering burnout is: nurse, 35 to 44 years, with contract fixed, experience over 16 years and an age of 1-5 years in that job. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
