The financial system and the volatility that has been presented in the markets in recent years, has been a topic that has attracted the attention of various researchers and analysts in the world, additionally phenomena such as the Fourth Revolution, cryptocurrencies have emerged within the technological financial products generate and project new risks (Umar, M., et.al, 2021). Hartwell (2018) indicates that financial volatility has different origins some related to economic conditions, institutional issues, market uncertainty. Albulescu, C. T. (2021). The coronavirus crisis (COVID-19), affected the main stock exchanges in the world registering strong shocks from February 2020, similarly financial volatility continued to increase in the context of COVID-19, even in pre-pandemic stage, there have been affectations to the economy with impacts on trade, tourism, transportation and food (Albulescu, 2020). The objective of this document is to identify the impact generated by Covid-19 on the quality of the portfolios of financial entities in Bolivia and Colombia, for which a quantitative methodology was applied, performing an observation of the analysis of different elements considered principal, PCA (Principal Component Analysis), since it is one of the most used tools to identify patterns in highly complex data, reducing the number of variables. Among the most important findings it can be identified that the Bolivian portfolios do not present much variation over time, rather they adapt according to time; while the Colombian portfolios form three groups: portfolio A at the extreme right, portfolios D and E at the upper end and portfolios C and B at the center-bottom, which says that the variation of the Colombian portfolios is high.

Background: Over the past decade, the ascent of personalized medicine (PM) has catalyzed pivotal transformations in healthcare systems on a global scale. Recognizing its crucial importance, the European Commission has prioritized PM within its research directives, allocating funding for international collaborative projects, such as the "Integrating China in the International Consortium for Personalized Medicine" (IC2PerMed) project, which aims to facilitate China's integration into the International Consortium for Personalized Medicine (ICPerMed). This research presents the delineation and examination of existing policies governing PM in China, describing the regulatory framework that encompasses PM within the country. Methods: PubMed, Baidu.com, Google Scholar, Google, and Microsoft Academic as well as official repositories of national and international institutions, were searched to find publications and information pertaining to policies, programs, and action plans concerning PM in China in English and Chinese language. This search encompassed both national and local perspectives and covered documents published until December 2023. Results: Sixteen policies, 18 programs, and 11 actions in China on both national and local base addressing PM approaches and themes were identified. The policies mainly focused on genetics and human genetic resources management, and big data and data security requirements. China's strategic plans and programs emphasized PM's integration into national health strategies, mostly through 13th 5‐year plans and special plans. Finally, the action plans focused on specific applications of PM. The Health and Family Planning Commission and National Health Commission standardized molecular testing, physician approval, and clinical use of antitumor drugs. Discussion: In recent years, China has implemented a variety of policy measures to address healthcare challenges, focusing on personalized treatment for an aging population. Despite increased government spending, challenges persist, including rising out‐of‐pocket payments and regional disparities. China is heavily investing in PM, utilizing extensive health datasets and diagnostic technologies. China has prioritized technological innovation and large‐scale data collection. While disparities exist between China and Europe, both aim to integrate PM insights into clinical practice for better healthcare outcomes. Key points: China's healthcare policies have evolved to prioritize personalized medicine (PM). This evolution is evident through the identification of 16 policies, 18 programs, and 11 actions focused on genetics, data security, and clinical applications.Strategic integration of PM into national health strategies, particularly through the 13th 5‐year plans and special initiatives, highlights China's commitment to leveraging PM for addressing healthcare challenges, particularly personalized treatment for China's aging population.Despite challenges such as rising out‐of‐pocket payments and regional disparities, China's heavy investment in PM, technological innovation, and large‐scale data collection showcases its dedication to harnessing PM insights to improve clinical practice and healthcare outcomes, aligning with global efforts in PM advancement.

Human mobility is not a conjunctural element, it is part of the construction of a society and it will go through different phases throughout its history. Faced with this social reality, the narratives that are constructed and that seem to be imposed tend, ignoring data, to criminalise migrants, supporting restrictive regulations and policies based on security and the externalisation of borders. The challenge lies in dismantling these narratives and favouring discourses and policies based on human rights that emphasise the dignity of the person. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Slow‐onset disasters, a neglected climatic event, affect the agricultural sector in Southeast Asia and threaten regional food security. Improving food security in slow‐onset disasters requires policy development by both regional and national governments. Despite this articulated need, very little research on the national and regional food security policies in slow‐onset disaster events has been undertaken. Focusing on Southeast Asia, this paper aims to (i) review existing policies to support food security in slow‐onset disasters; (ii) identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the existing policies; (iii) explain the policy window on food security in slow‐onset disasters. An analytical framework of eight components of food security was adopted for the content analysis of 39 related policy documents collected from 11 countries in Southeast Asia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The study found that none of the 39 policies directly targeted improving food security in slow‐onset disasters. Existing policies to support food security in slow‐onset disasters were incorporated in the context of climate change or national target programs on green development, agricultural development, nutrition, and famine. Our analysis also revealed that existing policies primarily focus on the first two pillars of the food security framework: food availability and access, with a predominant emphasis on availability. However, the third pillar, food utilization, is often overlooked. This study recommends developing a comprehensive policy to address protracted food insecurity, particularly among vulnerable populations in areas impacted by slow‐onset disasters. Key points: Policy gap: Southeast Asian regional organizations and governments lack specific policies for food security in slow‐onset disasters.Prioritization issue: Existing policies primarily focus on food availability and access, neglecting the vital aspect of food utilization.Calls for action: Policymakers should include food utilization in their strategies to enhance dietary diversity among vulnerable populations in slow‐onset disaster‐affected areas. In addition, this study recommends that policymakers develop strategies exclusively for addressing slow‐onset disasters, rather than incorporating them into climate change, agricultural development, and famine programs. Policymakers should also prioritize a multihazard approach in their policy design to enhance food security during slow‐onset disasters in the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: Las políticas de conciliación laboral, personales y familiares desempeñan un papel importante en la sociedad actual. La distribución de la jornada, la alta carga asistencial, la alta especialización, la sobrecarga emocional y la falta de profesionales dificultan la conciliación generando conflictos para el desarrollo personal, familiar y profesional de los profesionales de enfermería nefrológica. Objetivo: Explorar el estado de conciliación personal, laboral y familiar de los y las profesionales de enfermería de las unidades de nefrología en España. Material y Método: Estudio descriptivo multicéntrico nacional. Población: Profesionales de enfermería de las distintas unidades de nefrología en España. Para la recogida de datos se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado en cinco bloques: variables sociodemográficas, área personal/laboral, área personal y área familiar y consecuencias, con un total de 59 preguntas. Resultados: Se recibieron 542 cuestionarios, siendo un 87,1% mujeres. La comunidad con mayor número de participantes fue Madrid con un 22,5%. Se ha encontrado asociación entre el nivel de conciliación y el proyecto personal (p=0,005), profesional (p=0,0333) y familiar (p=0,001). Conclusiones: Los profesionales de enfermería nefrológica refieren haber visto afectado su proyecto personal, familiar y profesional debido a faltas de políticas de conciliación Las principales renuncias se relacionan con la pareja, el ocio y el desarrollo profesional, no dedican tiempo a su autocuidado afectando al estrés y a la ansiedad.

En este artículo se analizan las miradas docentes sobre las políticas sanitario-educativas de los protocolos en el regreso a la presencialidad educativa acontecido en 2021 en el marco de la pandemia. Para esto, se realizaron encuestas a 4.544 docentes de escuelas de nivel primario y secundario, tanto de gestión estatal como privada, urbanas y rurales en diferentes jurisdicciones de Argentina. Observamos que ciertos elementos del contexto escolar (Braun et al. 2011) inciden sobre las miradas las/os docentes respecto a la eficacia y los obstáculos en la implementación de los protocolos sanitarios. Si bien la mayoría de las/os docentes consideraron que el funcionamiento de los protocolos ha sido eficaz, existen diferencias por nivel: según las/os docentes del nivel primario, la eficacia de los protocolos cuenta con una mayor valoración positiva, aunque atravesada por complicaciones vinculadas al contexto escolar.

Este artigo, faz parte de uma pesquisa maior vinculada ao grupo de estudo "Discursos e Práticas Educacionais". O objetivo geral é compreender a relação entre o movimento de incompletude das políticas curriculares e a insurgência das práticas curriculares dos professores do agreste pernambucano. Esta pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e de campo, tendo como participantes professores do ensino fundamental de escolas públicas do município de Caruaru e cidades circunvizinhas. Como procedimentos metodológicos a observação e entrevistas semiestruturadas, bem como, utilizamos a Teoria do Discurso (Laclau e Mouffe, 2015) como instrumental teórico-metodológico, por ser mediador indispensável para entender os discursos como parciais e contingentes. Os resultados apontam que há um movimento de diversas leituras e interpretações nas produções das políticas curriculares, a partir das experiências vivenciadas pelos docentes no cotidiano da sala de aula.

Este estudio se centra en un análisis de los programas sociales en México y su incidencia en los factores determinantes de la pobreza, por lo que esta investigación se vinculó con las políticas públicas, destacando referentes teóricos y empíricos desarrollados en la última década. La metodología es de tipo descriptiva exploratoria, se analizaron 123 programas sociales instrumentados bajo las dimensiones de los factores determinantes de la pobreza que se pretende contrarrestar con las políticas públicas, se categorizan desde tres paradigmas distintos; el del Banco Mundial que hace alusión a un umbral de bienestar que se relaciona con lo regional, local e individual; el de la CEPAL en el que se relaciona la pobreza, la desigualdad, los accesos a educación, salud, vivienda, vida digna entre otros, es decir un enfoque multidimensional; y el enfoque de capacidades establecido por Amartya Sen. Los resultados develan que las intervenciones actuales no consideran el enfoque de capacidades, ya que parten de factores exógenos al individuo, sin importar la autonomía voluntaria asociada al desarrollo endógeno. Se concluye que los programas sociales en México, no resuelven los problemas subyacentes de la pobreza, por lo que no se logran resultados significativos que repercutan en el crecimiento y desarrollo sostenible.

Biodiversity offsetting, a conservation approach to offset loss of habitat and ecosystem services, has been widely accepted and implemented in different legislative frameworks around the globe. I assigned sentiment scores (from −3 [very negative] to +3 [very positive]) to online news articles to examine public sentiment toward offsetting. I identified 86 pertinent articles published from 2013 to 2023 by web scraping online media outlets through keywords. I examined article content based on topics commonly associated in scientific literature with offsetting, such as risks or financial aspects. Most articles were from Australia (44%), 16% were from the United Kingdom, and 5% were from Colombia and Madagascar. Three distinct groups covered finances (n = 47), species, and social impacts of offsetting (n = 23) and offsetting frameworks (n = 16). Articles covering monetary and finance aspects had a lower predicted sentiment score (−0.72, 95% CI −0.98 to −0.47) than articles that covered new, alternative offsetting forms (−0.15, 95% CI −0.46 to 0.17), such as mitigation banking and credits. In articles focused on charismatic species and loss of livelihood, offsetting risk and social issues were associated with low sentiment scores (<−0.85). Sentiment scores were high for articles on offsetting at a multicountry or global scale (0.47, 95% CI −0.06 to 0.99), and scores were the lowest in Australia (−1.03, 95% CI −1.36 to −0.70). Public sentiment based on media articles was generally negative toward offsetting, and many of the ecological and methodological issues and risks were reflected in the articles, but mitigation measures as a prerequisite to offsetting were mentioned in only 18% of all articles. With the seemingly high public interest in conservation and hence offsetting, it will be imperative to expand the current breadth of information about offsetting that is being communicated or made available to the public.

This study sought to understand and diagnose the management of water resources in the state of Amazonas. To achieve this objective, a strategic analysis was performed using two tools: SWOT and PESTEL. To build the SWOT and PESTEL tables, a search was carried out of dissertations posted in institutional repositories of the Amazonas State University and the Federal University of Amazonas. Non-participant observation was also performed at the meetings of the State Water Resources Council in order to gain a better understanding of management. The results achieved showed that the diagnosis is of a water resources management that is still in the initial phase, and which requires improvements in planning to achieve its goals. It was noted that the main bottleneck of management is the non-execution of the instruments of the state water resources policy, since they are the essential elements for it to function fully and strategically. In addition, political management has not prioritized water resources, which generates discontinuity of projects. Finally, it was noticed that the water resources management system has few people that are active in the cause, since little participation by the people who compose it was noted in the meetings of the State Water Resources Council. It is clear then that the system must be strengthened and restructured so that management can achieve its principles and objectives, in addition to seeking to train more people to do so.

From an ideational perspective, this article studies the landing and consolidation of the idea of "Chile as a model country", and subsequently analyzes its permeation in the Chilean political elite and society from 2006 to 2019. It concludes that four points cemented the mentioned paradigm: the neoliberal economic model, the technocratic logic, consensus and sociopolitical stability. The four presidencies between 2006 and 2019 continued to reproduce this idea, with greater or lesser intensity. However, its permeation in society gradually decreased. By the time of the social outbreak, the paradigm of "Chile as a model country" had strongly permeated the political class, while the citizenry was going through a crisis of representation.

Freshwater ecosystems and their bordering wetlands and riparian zones are vital for human society and biological diversity. Yet, they are among the most degraded ecosystems, where sharp declines in biodiversity are driven by human activities, such as hydropower development, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Because freshwater ecosystems are characterized by strongly reciprocal linkages with surrounding landscapes, human activities that encroach on or degrade riparian zones ultimately lead to declines in freshwater–riparian ecosystem functioning. We synthesized results of a symposium on freshwater, riparian, and wetland processes and interactions and analyzed some of the major problems associated with improving freshwater and riparian research and management. Three distinct barriers are the lack of involvement of local people in conservation research and management, absence of adequate measurement of biodiversity in freshwater and riparian ecosystems, and separate legislation and policy on riparian and freshwater management. Based on our findings, we argue that freshwater and riparian research and conservation efforts should be integrated more explicitly. Best practices for overcoming the 3 major barriers to improved conservation include more and sustainable use of traditional and other forms of local ecological knowledge, choosing appropriate metrics for ecological research and monitoring of restoration efforts, and mirroring the close links between riparian and freshwater ecosystems in legislation and policy. Integrating these 3 angles in conservation science and practice will provide substantial benefits in addressing the freshwater biodiversity crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Antes de la elección presidencial del 2 de junio de 2024, los escenarios apuntaban a un proceso altamente competitivo, con posibles fraudes y violencia en algunas regiones de México. Los candidatos de oposición, Xóchitl Gálvez[1] - PRI-PAN-PRD - y Jorge Álvarez Máynez[2] –MC-, se enfrentaron a Claudia Sheinbaum[3], candidata de MORENA. No obstante, los resultados fueron contundentes: Sheinbaum ganó con más de 31 puntos porcentuales de ventaja y una participación superior al 60%. Este ensayo da cuenta de los elementos más relevantes que explican precisamente ese triunfo que la convirtieron en la primera mujer presidenta de México. La estrategia de comunicación de Claudia Sheinbaum se centró en mantener una relación cercana y transparente con la ciudadanía de la Ciudad de México, utilizando una combinación de herramientas digitales y tradicionales para asegurar que la información fuera accesible y comprensible para todos. En este sentido, su estrategia fue coherente con la ejecutada como Jefa de Gobierno de la Ciudad de México. A esto se debe sumar el capital político endosado de su antecesor Andrés Manuel López Obrador y su apuesta por lo social.

En el presente estudio se analiza la implementación de la política de acreditación y aseguramiento de la calidad en los programas académicos (PA) de formación docente, educación y pedagogía en México. Por medio del análisis documental, se revisó la oferta educativa, así como los reportes del Padrón de Calidad del Consejo para la Acreditación de la Educación Superior (Copaes) y el Padrón del Examen General de Egreso de la Licenciatura (EGEL) de Programas de Alto Rendimiento Académico, los cuales son algunos de los mecanismos implementados en esa iniciativa. Los resultados muestran una gran diversificación institucional y un importante desbalance entre la oferta y los programas que han sido acreditados por su calidad, además de ciertas discordancias entre los mecanismos de acreditación; esto genera cuestionamientos sobre la eficacia de la política y acerca de lo que se ha valorado como calidad, por lo que es necesario construir alternativas de evaluación. En conclusión, hay poca certidumbre sobre la efectividad de las políticas de acreditación y aseguramiento de la calidad, han valorado lo que se puede medir, dejando de lado aspectos más relevantes y que contribuyen al cambio institucional y a la mejora educativa.

Los parásitos son considerados bioindicadores de contaminación, dado que son organismos capaces de acumular sustancias tóxicas en sus tejidos, como los hidrocarburos. Esto les permite brindar información precisa y relevante para el monitoreo ambiental en ambientes acuáticos. Las recomendaciones del estudio incluyen: 1) implementar políticas en las evaluaciones de impacto ambiental que integren el uso sistemático de parásitos en el monitoreo ambiental, 2) mejorar la capacitación técnica del personal fiscalizador, y 3) fomentar la colaboración entre instituciones académicas y gubernamentales. Estas medidas no solo mejorarán la precisión del monitoreo de hidrocarburos, sino que también surgirán como una alternativa crucial en el monitoreo preventivo y mitigador de las acciones de empresas responsables, con el fin de fortalecer la protección y gestión sostenible de los ecosistemas acuáticos en Perú.

El objetivo del presente texto es contribuir a la reflexión sobre la inserción de las artes y la educación artística en las discusiones de gestión pública en el contexto de las transformaciones del siglo XXI en México. Se propone una estrategia multidisciplinaria desde las humanidades y las ciencias políticas, correlacionando temas como democracia, regímenes de bienestar y educación artística desde una perspectiva histórico-documental. Se estima importante revisarlos de manera conjunta, y en esto recae su relevancia académica, con el fin de profundizar en las problemáticas relacionadas con la educación artística y, de esta manera, señalar áreas de oportunidad en el debate público para encaminarse hacia transformaciones deseables de manera justa y humanista; en términos políticos: el reto es exigir una política social redistributiva en el tema de la educación artística-estética. Se parte de la pregunta general ¿qué se necesita para garantizar, en perspectiva actual, el derecho a la educación artística? Para responder a ésta se recurre a fuentes documentales e históricas en México, aunque idealmente se requiere obtener más información respecto a la organización interna de la SEP, lo mismo que comprender cómo se está organizando interinstitucionalmente con otras instancias estatales, pues también ha faltado comprender cómo cada grupo político está interviniendo para legislar en torno al tema de la educación artística, datos que se espera recopilar para futuras investigaciones. Se considera un hallazgo importante, aunque parece mínimo, encontrar claves concretas para exigir la garantía de la puesta en práctica de políticas en el tema.

Este artículo presenta un análisis de los discursos producidos por Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007) y Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007-2015) cada 2 de abril durante sus mandatos presidenciales de Argentina, en ocasión del Día de los Caídos y Veteranos de la Guerra de Malvinas (1982). Adoptando el análisis del discurso como práctica interpretativa (Arnoux “Análisis del discurso como campo académico,” Análisis del discurso. Modos de abordar materiales de archivo), se estudian distintos aspectos de la materialidad lingüística que exponen distancias interpretativas sobre la guerra. Específicamente, el análisis se organiza en cuatro ejes: la configuración del adversario, el tipo de emociones desplegadas, la consideración de la guerra como causa nacional o causa dictatorial y la representación de los combatientes. Comparar los discursos de ambxs líderes a partir de estas dimensiones permitirá comprender cómo la memoria de Malvinas se configura discursivamente desde posiciones políticas e ideológicas no exentas de tensiones. This paper aims to analyze the commemorative speeches produced by former Argentine presidents Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007) and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007-2015) each April 2nd, the Day of the Fallens and Veterans of the Malvinas War (1982). By adopting Discourse Analysis as an interpretative practice (Arnoux, “Análisis del discurso como campo académico,” Análisis del discurso. Modos de abordar materiales de archivo), we study different aspects of the linguistic materiality that uncover interpretative gaps about the War. We especially focus on five axes: the configuration of the adversary, the kind of emotions, the understanding of war as a national or a dictatorial cause, and the representation of combatants. Comparing the discourses of both leaders by taking these axes into account allows us to understand how the memory about Malvinas is discursively configured from a political and ideological position, not without tension.

This article attempts to explore the trajectory of an innovation to achieve gender equality in Mexico. Specifically, it analyzes the way in which parity, once debatable in the Mexican political sphere, became a widely used tool to address problems of gender inequality. Therefore, using the method of systematic review and legislative analysis, we try to offer evidence on the way in which the institutionalization of gender parity has occurred in various spaces of the Mexican government. To do this, the document is organized into three sections. The first explores the literature on policy propagation and transfer. The second describes the trajectory of gender quotas in Mexico. The third examines the adoption of parity in the composition of Congress and other policy domains. Finally, the conclusions are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A nivel del contexto universitario la diversidad estudiantil es una realidad que no podemos desconocer y que constituye un tema de interés en los últimos años. Este artículo pretende analizar el desarrollo de la educación inclusiva, a nivel universitario, desde la percepción del estudiantado en tres dimensiones: creación de culturas, generación de políticas y desarrollo de prácticas. Para cumplir el objetivo se aplicó el Index for Inclusion adaptado a la educación superior, a 848 estudiantes de la universidad. Los datos fueron procesados mediante estadísticos descriptivos. Los resultados indican una apreciación significativa de la dimensión A: Crear culturas inclusivas (M=2.00; DE=0.39) en una medida muy similar a la dimensión C: Desarrollo de prácticas inclusivas (M=1.97; DE=1.48), mientras que la dimensión B: Elaborar políticas inclusivas se queda como la dimensión más desestimada (M=1.84; DE=0.43). Los resultados evidencian la respuesta que se requiere desde la universidad, apuntando a generar mecanismos que permitan garantizar el acceso, la permanencia y la culminación de la educación superior, así como la necesidad de promover políticas con enfoque inclusivo que responda a la diversidad del estudiantado.

Resumen Este artículo es un ejercicio de reflexividad sobre investigaciones etnográficas propias de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 realizadas en 2020-2021. Se analizan aquí experiencias, narrativas y políticas de diagnóstico y control de la circulación del virus en tres ciudades de diferente escala urbana de Argentina. Realizado en la postpandemia, nuestro análisis se propone aportar al estudio del fenómeno sanitario desde la antropología social, ofreciendo recomendaciones para la planificación y gestión de futuros y probables confinamientos. Concluimos que nuestra contribución como científicas sociales es la comprensión del fenómeno sanitario en el marco de desigualdades estructurales, emergiendo la necesidad de planificar la prevención por confinamiento a escalas micro, meso y macro sociales.

Este artículo tiene el objetivo de realizar una primera discusión teórica, alrededor de la pregunta ¿Cómo la heteronormatividad influencia el objeto y destinatario de las políticas pública de salud sexual y reproductiva? Para estos efectos se pretenden abordar los siguientes aspectos; primero, problematizar a la heteronormatividad como factor incidente en el manejo de la sexualidad como asunto, en tanto interfiere en las discusiones que aborda la política, el enfoque que ha tomado y las temáticas que se presentan por los actores. En este sentido, la perspectiva histórica brinda una oportunidad de revisar las trasformaciones de conceptos y elementos de la política. Posteriormente, se ahonda en cómo la heteronormatividad sugiere un tipo de destinatarios y una forma de tratar su comportamiento.

El principal objetivo de este artículo es medir la diversidad de orígenes distinguiendo entre espacio urbano y rural, en especial para los municipios con menor población. Para ello, primero se analiza el origen y la difusión del discurso sobre la diversidad cultural y se analizan las prácticas políticas sobre integración e inclusión a diferentes escalas administrativas. Posteriormente se mide la diversidad utilizando el índice de Simpson para las principales regiones urbanas y rurales de menor tamaño. Finalmente, se analizan las prácticas políticas y las consecuencias a diferentes escalas administrativas. Se consideran las 15 áreas urbanas que superan el medio millón de habitantes en 2020. Para las áreas rurales, se analizan los municipios menores de 2000 habitantes no incluidos en áreas urbanas. El análisis se realiza tanto para el conjunto de la población como desde una perspectiva generacional, comparando la diversidad entre distintas generaciones y la producida dentro de una misma generación.

A partir de estudo doutoral, realizado entre os anos 2017 e 2021, acerca de bases teórico-metodológicas da formação continuada de professores, o objetivo deste texto é apresentar análise crítica de políticas relativas a essa formação. Em sentido específico, as que dizem respeito ao contexto do governo de Jair Bolsonaro, com a homologação do Parecer CNE/CP n. 22/2019, que teve como objetivo central a revogação da Resolução CNE/CP n. 2/ 2015; a homologação da Resolução CNE/CP n.02/2019, que definiu as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Formação Inicial de Professores para a Educação Básica e institui a Base Nacional Comum para a Formação Inicial de Professores da Educação Básica (BNC-Formação); e a homologação da Resolução CNE/CP n. 01/2020, que Dispõe sobre as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Formação Continuada de Professores da Educação Básica e institui a Base Nacional Comum para a Formação Continuada de Professores da Educação Básica (BNC-Formação Continuada). À luz dos fundamentos da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, o percurso metodológico perpassou por estudos históricos, bibliográficos e documentais do referido arcabouço político-educacional-formativo. Os resultados apresentam uma ruptura e/ou dicotomia entre as concepções de formação inicial e continuada e que tais políticas atendem à proposta da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para a educação infantil e o ensino fundamental, o que rompe com a ampla concepção de educação básica e ratifica uma lógica de retomada e ênfase às competências e habilidades.

La Economía Circular, tal y como se recoge con mayor frecuencia en las políticas urbanas, gubernamentales y en el debate científico, suele presentarse como transformadora, pero es reformista en el mejor de los casos. En realidad, la Economía Circular es tan seductora exactamente porque promete la reducción del impacto ambiental sin cuestionar los fundamentos culturales e institucionales de la economía tal y como las conocemos. En este breve artículo, desvelo las trampas medioambientales, socioeconómicas y de gestión de la Economía Circular, y concluyo sugiriendo tres áreas de intervención para abordarlas: combatir seriamente la actividad ilícita e ilegal en sectores clave y en lo que respecta a la mano de obra, dar más importancia a los principios de retención de valor de rechazar, reducir y reutilizar, y entablar un debate político serio y democrático sobre el camino hacia el que debe encaminarse una Economía Circular.

Este trabajo aborda la integración de la Ciencia Ciudadana en las políticas públicas orientadas a generar esquemas agroalimentarios sustentables, productivos y resilientes ante el cambio climático. Las políticas sobre sustentabilidad en la agricultura, sobre todo en Latinoamérica, olvidan que los agricultores pueden aportar conocimiento y experiencia, lo que ha generado un bajo índice de adopción de las prácticas agroecológicas y consumo de fertilizantes químicos que erosionan suelos cultivables. Se propone la Ciencia Ciudadana, entendida como un modelo de participación social definido por ciudadanos y científicos que colaboran entre sí, como un factor que permite que los agricultores se transformen en actores al compartir el conocimiento adquirido desde la tradición y la práctica, y vincularlo al ya existente. Con base en propuestas teóricas sobre el rol de la Ciencia Ciudadana en la gobernanza y en el reporte de la Comisión Europea, se ofrece una explicación teórica, y en las conclusiones, la propuesta de mecanismo de operación en las políticas públicas de agricultura sustentable.

Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the valleys, and plains to the west of the Sierras Centrales in Argentina oscillated between their relations with Cuyo and the attraction of the city of Córdoba. The mountain range and its many rivers were a significant orographic obstacle and helped to give these communities a distinctive identity. In this study, we explore from a historical environmental perspective how this established configuration was disrupted at the end of the 19th century, within the framework of state consolidation and the Atlantic reorientation of the Argentine economy. Thus, we analyze how the pre-existing dynamics and relationship with water and mountain runoff were a limit between the mountain valleys and the thriving agro-livestock economy of the Pampas. Traditional historiographic sources were used -reports, stories, newspapers, among others- together with historical cartography and GIS software. The latter, allowed to shed new light on some previously ignored elements around the hidrosocial and transportation system of that landlocked province [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social policies seek to relieve the family of people with disabilities and dependency in their role as caregivers. However, on numerous occasions, these families do not have all the necessary resources to deal with these care situations. The general objective of this study is to find out the perception of the resources available to family members of people with disabilities in Spain. This is a qualitative study using a structured interview, non-experimental ex post facto, descriptive and cross-sectional in nature. The total sample consisted of 27 relatives of people with disabilities. The JASP programme was used to analyse the responses, and descriptive and correlational statistics were performed. The results indicate that the most recognized and used resource is the one referred to economic benefits, as well as early care and special education schools. Women are in the majority in the care of these people, who report an expenditure of energy, so it could be advisable to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of family respite programmes.

This paper is part of the results achieved by the Project "AFTER project, Against FGM/C Through Empowerment and Rejection" co-funded by the EU Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme and implemented by a multidisciplinary Research Group based on Ireland, Italy, Sweden and Spain. The general objective is to contribute to the prevention and eradication of FGM/C and the specific objectives: a) To estimate the prevalence of FGM/C in the EU in order to size and make its scope visible b) To obtain a better and more in-depth understanding of how work related to FGM/C is approached in Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. A mixed research methodology was used. The quantitative approach allows for contextualizing and measuring the presence of this practice within EU territory, while the qualitative approach provides insights into and analysis of the experts' perspectives on the policies that have been implemented. Results: The statistical analysis shows that the population from countries where FGM/C practised has increased in recent years. And the analysis of expert discourse shows agreement that is needed legislation to penalize the practice, but insufficient. It is necessary to developed prevention and comprehensive care measures for victims and inter-institutional coordination protocols, involving the participation of the affected communities. Professionals insist that relevant training is fundamental and ask for more resources and services, in addition to the creation of multidisciplinary teams. Conclusions: FGM/C is today practised globally, and eradicating it, requires engaging in real work to integrate the immigrant population and attend to its basic needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: analyzing the repercussions of the decisions of the Brazilian Federal Government in confronting COVID-19 in clinical nursing care. Method: documentary study based on publications from January 2020 to June 2021 published on the official website of the federal government. We obtained 144 documents that were analyzed in full, presented in flowchart and Descending Hierarchical Classification, this generated by IRaMuTeQ software. Results: the Descending Hierarchical Classification generated six classes condensed into: COVID-19 in Brazil, social scope, public management, economy in the pandemic and direction of health care. The decisions focused on recognizing the existence of the pandemic scenario and establishing the creation of committees for management and coping, management of hospital inputs, redefinition of goals related to health indicators and combating violence. Final considerations: the determinations for coping with the pandemic presented limited actions, primarily to curative aspects, which impacted the provision of clinical nursing care by reinforcing the biomedical model of health care.
