Protocolo mixto para una revisión de literatura de economía política

espanolResumen: El objetivo de este ensayo es presentar el procedimiento, hallazgos y lecciones de una revision de literatura soportada en elementos estructurados y sistematicos en una investigacion cuyo objetivo es encontrar condiciones de satisfaccion para una teoria integrada de la accion colectiva desde la economia politica. El resultado de este ejercicio es la exposicion de como la revision sistematica de literatura interioriza en el aspecto metodologico de las investigaciones cualitativas la intuicion de los autores, sin dejar de lado la asepsia de las revisiones estructuradas. El aporte radica entonces en discutir la importancia de la adopcion de reglas para la busqueda y revision bibliografica, al tiempo de advertir la necesidad de incorporar algunos criterios subjetivos para complementar dichas reglas rigidas que supone un protocolo estructurado. EnglishAbstract: This essay presents the procedure, findings and lessons of a review of literature supported by structured and systematic elements in a research whose objective is to find satisfaction conditions for an integrated theory of collective action from political economy. The result of this exercise is the exposition of how the systematic review of literature internalizes in the methodological aspect of qualitative research the intuition of the authors, without neglecting the asepsis of structured reviews. The contribution then lies in discussing the importance of adopting rules for searching and reviewing the literature, while noting the need to incorporate some subjective criteria to complement these rigid rules that are a structured protocol.
Primes and Consequences: A Systematic Review of Meritocracy in Intergroup Relations

Psychological interest in Meritocracy as an important social norm regulating most of the western democratic societies has significantly increased over the years. However, the way Meritocracy has been conceptualized and operationalized in experimental studies has advanced in significant ways. As a result, a variety of paradigms arose to understand the social consequences of Meritocracy for intergroup relations; in particular, to understand the adverse consequences of Meritocracy for disadvantaged group members. The present research seeks to understand whether there is strong support for the idea that (manipulated) Meritocracy disproportionally affects members of low status groups, and also to understand which specific components of this norm have been successfully manipulated and to what consequences. And this is particularly important given the recent call for greater transparency in how the success of experimental manipulations is reported. Thus, we carried out a systematic review examining the content of different prime tasks, summarizing prime manipulation checks' effectiveness, and analyzing whether priming Meritocracy leads to less favorable orientations toward low status groups. Results across 33 studies revealed that despite the existing differences in the components highlighted, the salience of any of the Meritocracy dimensions facilitates the use of internal causal attributions, negative evaluations and stereotyping toward low status groups, affecting negatively decisions involving low-status group members, particularly in specific domains, as organizational contexts. These results carry both practical and theoretical implications for future research on the role of Meritocracy in intergroup settings.
Reciprocal relationships between lexical and syntactic skills of children with Developmental Language Disorder and the role of executive functions

Background and aims Recent research indicates that children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) often also score lower than their peers with typical development (TD) on tasks testing nonverbal executive functioning (EF). This study investigated whether there is evidence that children with DLD use linguistic and EF resources to support their lexical and syntactic development. Three questions were addressed: (1) How do children with DLD develop in the domains of lexicon and syntax, and how does their development compare to TD controls? (2) To what extent do children with DLD show reciprocal relations between lexical and syntactic skills, and how does this compare to TD controls? (3) Is EF ability related to DLD children’s lexical and syntactic skills, and how does this compare to TD controls? Methods Data from 117 children (NDLD = 78; NTD = 39) were collected three times with yearly intervals. At time 1, the children were 5 or 6 years old. Standardized receptive vocabulary and sentence repetition tests measured lexicon and syntax, respectively. Nonverbal EF tasks tested selective attention, interference control and working memory. Cross-lagged analyses were conducted to determine the direction of relationships. Results Both groups showed stable lexical and syntactic growth. In children with DLD, but not in TD controls, syntactic skills predicted lexical skills. In the DLD group, EF predicted lexical skills. Reversely, in the TD group, lexical skills predicted EF. Conclusions The results of this study are consistent with the hypothesis that the lexical development of children with DLD is supported by both their verbal abilities in the domain of syntax and their nonverbal EF abilities. Implications Interventions that improve the syntactic and EF abilities of children with DLD may have spreading effects and positively impact on word learning by children with DLD.
Changes in splenic microarchitecture and B cell responses in acute and chronic Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi (as) infection in mice.

This thesis investigates the order and timing of changes in the splenic microarchitecture and the lifespan and kinetics of B cells and plasma cells during primary acute P.chabaudi infection, and the length of chronic P.chabaudi infection. Infected red blood cells can be seen in the spleen as soon as 1 hour post infection, alterations in the splenic microarchitecture begin at day 5 post-infection with the movement of dendritic cells and the merging of B and T cell zones. Macrophages and B cells of the marginal zone are lost from this location by day 10 post-infection, however there is no alteration in the location of red pulp macrophages. Large numbers of plasma cells can be seen in the spleen from day 8 post-infection, when they switch from IgM* to IgG+. The adhesion molecule MAdCAM-1 is more widely expressed, although not on reticular fibroblasts or red pulp endothelial cells. The significance of these alterations, and the mechanisms responsible, are discussed. Chronic, subpatent parasitaemia in P.chabaudi infection is cleared by 3 months post-infection in C57BL/6 mice, and 2 months in BALB/c mice. Most changes in B cell and plasma cell formation occur during the acute infection, and are resolved by 6 weeks post-infection. The number of B cells in the bone marrow is reduced, and plasma cell production in the spleen is high during acute infection. Plasma cell migration to the bone marrow is consistently lower in infected mice than naive mice. The majority of B cells and plasma cells produced throughout the acute and chronic infection are short-lived, with little evidence of production of long-lived cells. B cell and plasma cell formation is still elevated at 12 weeks post-infection, indicating that B cells and plasma cells during this period may be maintained by continuous turnover rather than production of long-lived cells.
What Professors Would Like Their New Presidents to Know

New college presidents are faced with many challenges; some known and some unknown. With the frequency of new presidents entering from outside the institution, a challenge exists to understand the culture and current state of the institution. Existing faculty are uniquely positioned to provide assistance in this regard. What is presented here are perspectives on what college professors would like their new presidents to know. The information is provided in the form of common challenges to be aware of and suggestions to consider. Future directions are offered to delve deeper into the potential insights to be offered from the faculty lens to new, incoming presidents. Several years ago, during a gathering of all the faculty at a university, a senior faculty member commented during a stressful meeting, “Presidents come and go, but faculty stay. ” This person has been on the faculty through several presidents, and had experienced a wide range of new initiatives, new visions, and bold promises. This faculty person also was keenly aware of the short life span of most university presidents. There was the sense that the role of the presidency was transient and short-lived. This sense is supported by data that shows the average tenure of a college president to be around six years (Smerek, 2009). It would have been interesting and perhaps insightful if the seasoned veteran had shared what they wished each of the new presidents knew about the institution. Considering that almost 80% of new presidents are hired from outside the organization (compared to 40 in businesses, Smerek, 2009), grasping what is going on is essential for success, especially early in the tenure. It is the premise of this paper that new university presidents would benefit from the perspective of the faculty, with an acknowledgement that the perspective of a faculty member is different than the perspective of a university president with regard to scope of position. What follows is anecdotal data, first-hand observations, and qualitative data from years of conversations and experiencing organizational life around what professors would like their new president to know. To lead into the suggestions, here are some common challenges that have been observed. You were told what? Presidents enter their new job having been in conversations with the board, search committees, search firms, and other out-spoken stakeholders. They are told a variety of truths and mistruths, 1 Maddox and Johnson: What Professors Would Like Their New Presidents to Know Published by ScholarWorks@UARK, 2018
CURRENT MEDICAL PRACTICES FOR TREATMENT OF VESTIBULAR DYSFUNCTION

CURRENT MEDICAL PRACTICES FOR TREATMENT OF VESTIBULAR DYSFUNCTION By Allison Lynne Resavage This paper reports on current medical practices performed by health care professionals, audiologists and Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) physicians, for treatment of vestibular dysfunction. The study surveyed each professional on the different treatment options for peripheral inner ear dysfunction in which s/he performs or recommends for vestibular patients. Since surgery is rarely a treatment option and vestibular suppressant medications may delay the compensation process and have negative side effects, there is a growing awareness of the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). The results analyzed the difference in the number of audiologists versus ENT physicians performing vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Results also indicated electronystagmography as the most common vestibular assessment performed by audiologists. This paper also presents limitations of the study and implications of future research.

Perspectives on Mental Wellness in Child and Youth Care Education

This course-based research project is conducted in a qualitative interpretive paradigm. The purpose of the inquiry is to gain insight into how students interpret their own subjective experiences and understanding of the impact that the undergraduate child and youth care program at MacEwan University has had on their mental wellness. A purposive sample of four child and youth care students was selected. Data was collected through the use of a semi-structured focus group and a reflective arts-based activity. The data was analysed using Braun and Clarke’s approach to thematic analysis which resulted in the identification of six themes. These include: a) safe and supportive learning environment, b) enhanced understanding, c) genuine student-professor relationship, d) seeing mental health as a strength, e) the healing power of creativity and play, and f) transformational nature of child and youth care education.
Developing a Community-Wide Electronic Shared Medication List

This study demonstrates the feasibility of developing a medication list e-tool from multiple medication data sources that is accessible to patients, caregivers, and health care practices and is “portable” or accessible wherever patients go. A single medication list was created electronically by integrating data from the Shared Care Plan, a Web-based personal health record, and clinic electronic medical records (EMRs) to create a single, Web-based view. The feasibility of sharing accurate, updated information with everyone involved in a patient’s care was explored using innovative technology and training, while motivating health care professionals and patients to communicate medication regimen changes. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation methodologies were utilized to assess the impact of interventions among three outpatient clinic sites and 108 adult patients. Through extensive collaboration, clinic sites improved the accuracy of patient EMR medication lists, medication safety culture improved, and patients found the electronic medication list beneficial.
Exploring a School Culture and Climate Where Students Can FLOURISH: Using Focus Group Methodology to Capture Key Stakeholder Perceptions About School Culture and Climate in an Alternative Education High School.

This study was a qualitative action research project that involved focus groups of key stakeholders at an alternative education high school including: students, teaching staff, classified staff, supervisors, families, and collaborative partners. A semi-structured interview guide was used to discover their perceptions of a school culture and climate where students FLOURISH. The word FLOURISH is used in this research to describe the optimal experience of thriving and growing as well as an acronym that contains the elements that a literature review found to be important for such environments serving the most vulnerable student populations. This type of research is especially important in light of the recent transformation to educational planning and finance in California called LCFF (Local Control Funding Formula) and its creation of the Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) with their mandate for stakeholder input. Finally, and most importantly, emerging research shows schools that improve their culture and climate can counter the “school to prison pipeline” effect so often experienced by vulnerable youth in the alternative education system. Both systematic analysis and a constructivist approach were used in coding and memoing to track the presence of existing themes from the literature review and to capture new ones emerging from the transcripts. Leadership, systems, equity and implementation implications were explored as secondary questions. Findings included the generation of a new model, coined The 5Rs Cycle – Resources, Regulation, Relationships, Relevance & Rigor, which captured the essential elements found in the literature review along with the myriad themes produced by the focus groups.
RDTA – Repository Driven Test Automation A new look into reuse of test automation artifacts

— Repository Driven Test Automation (RDTA) is an approach to the buildup process of test automation infrastructure which proposes reuse of testing artifacts as a fundamental principle for the creation of test automation. Our research was motivated by a two-fold inquiry: Can testing automation artifacts be reused? If so, how? These inquiries led us to a new concept for the formulation of test automation. The term software repository here refers to a storage location from which software packages or artifacts may be retrieved for reuse in other systems or software products, preferably - as is. This conceptual paper explores different aspects of the reuse of software test automation artifacts and elaborates on several practical implications and changes that arise from the implementation of this new paradigm in a software development organization.
Polls Versus Commenters: Effects of Cross-Cutting Opinion Climates on Cross-Platform Opinion Expression

Few spiral of silence studies have explored the influence of cross-cutting, multiple opinion climates on opinion expression outcomes across different online platforms. A 2 ´ 2 online experiment, accounting for individual issue-based and culturally influenced dispositions, reveals a main effect of individuals’ perceived opinion congruity with forum commenters but not with public opinion polls on opinion expression. An interaction effect shows that individuals are more likely to post comments when they perceive opinion congruity with forum commenters and when they perceive incongruity with public poll results, with a greater overall likelihood to comment on social media (Facebook) than on website forums. Significant relationships are also found between the likelihood of expressing one’s opinion and personal issue involvement, fear of authority, and fear of breaking the law online. Implications of the findings for the theoretical scope of an online spiral of silence in multiple opinion climates and cross-platform opinion expression are discussed.
Understanding violent street worlds

The thesis is composed of two sections. The first provides a critical overview of the published work assembled in the second. This body of work is composed of journal articles, monographs, papers published in educated collections and research reports. Though these papers address a range of different subjects from street robbery, the culture of gun users to the study of urban street gangs, what unifies these papers is that they collectively help make sense of the violent street world occupied by young men, overwhelmingly from deprived backgrounds, who use weapons, collectively and individually, in street confrontations. In the critical analysis the term violent street world is defined and the body of published work which examines it is then contextualised; first, by a consideration of the external political and social forces that led to its production; second, by reference to the internal academic traditions in which and at times against which these papers were produced. Rather than approach the study of the street world by reference to the actors who inhabit it, the crimes they do or the weapons they use, the thesis makes a case for making the street world itself the object and focus of enquiry. The street world is then studied thematically in four chapters. The themes selected are: street crime in a historical context, the aetiology of street violence, the structure and organisation of the street world and the distinction between street representations and street realities. The analysis concludes with reflections on the key contributions the work assembled has made to our understanding of violent street worlds and their social analysis. The work is original in so far as it contests many current myths that have been proposed to explain street violence while producing more compelling explanations for it. These help explicate why the violence occurs, how and why it is changing, who is involved and why people engage in it. Key words: Gang, street culture, guns, knives, weapons
Aspectos neuropsicológicos del daño cerebral difuso adquirido en la edad pediátrica

Introduccion y desarrollo. El dano cerebral adquirido (DCA) es causa de discapacidad en la edad pediatrica. El traumatismo craneoencefalico grave constituye la causa mas frecuente de DCA. El pronostico vital del DCA es mas favorable en el nino que en el adulto. No sucede asi con el pronostico neuropsicologico, que es mas desfavorable cuanto menor es la edad en el momento de producirse la lesion. En el dano cerebral difuso la plasticidad y capacidad de reorganizacion cerebral tienen un efecto limitado en la compensacion de los deficit cognitivos y conductuales. Debido al proceso de desarrollo del sistema nervioso del nino, la repercusion del DCA puede tardar anos en ser evidente. Las demandas crecientes en la escuela, de autonomia y de adaptacion social, haran que las dificultades puedan ser progresivas con la edad. Conclusion. Las funciones neuropsicologicas mas afectadas, igual que en la edad adulta, son la velocidad psicomotora, memoria, funciones ejecutivas y atencionales. El proceso de desarrollo y aprendizaje del nino hara que la repercusion sea mucho mayor.

Semiotics of threats: Discourse on the vulnerability of the Estonian identity card

This article analyses various e-threats that were expressed in media texts that focused on e-threat discourses concerning the Estonian identity card’s security risk in 2017. The discourse of cyberthreats contains strong and controversial meanings because the peculiarities of cyberspace remain intangible for average readers who do not possess expert knowledge regarding ICT. The wider aim of the paper is to suggest how the topic of e-threats could be given public coverage without fuelling irrational anxiety and unwarranted threat scenarios. Our theoretical basis combines the frameworks of the Copenhagen School of security studies and ideas of cultural semiotics. We explain the semiotic logic of phobophobia (i.e. the abstract concern with the devastating impacts of the collective feeling of fear) and the discourse of fear that is characterized by a significant reliance on analogies, drawing vague demarcation line between reference objects and the dominance of negative emotional tonality. Our study demonstrates that the main actors of threat and the consequences of the identity card’s security problems were associated with unknown hackers and the damaging of the reputation of Estonia as an e-state.
Learning English Tenses through Spanish Grammar : When Using the L1 Benefits ESL Learning

The current teaching trend of ESL is focused on maximizing the use of the L2 so that the student learns the language through linguistic immersion. This approach leaves the L1 out of the game, even though research has shown it can also be beneficial for the learner. My research intends to demonstrate that translation of English grammar tenses into Spanish can be a helpful way of assimilating English grammar more easily and faster, especially for those students with a poor command of English.
The Influence of Gender and Ethnic Diversity in Higher Education Leadership

This study aimed to investigate the impact of ethnic and gender diversity on the practice of leadership in higher education. Fourteen higher education leaders participated in hour-long semi-structured interviews about their leadership practice/philosophy, leadership influences, leadership history/experience, and leadership recommendations. Leaders reported practicing ethical styles of leadership and emphasizing collaboration and relationship-building in their leadership. Leaders reported that their childhood environment highly impacted them, especially socioeconomic status and access to education. Leaders experienced challenges around managing financial crises and unreasonable expectations while in their positions. Leaders recommended that current and future leaders put a greater emphasis on improving diversity issues, remember the greater mission of higher education, and focus on holistic approaches/community These findings underscore the importance of diverse perspectives in the study of higher education leadership to better serve the increasingly diverse student population.
