¿Qué es la neorruralidad? Reflexiones sobre la construcción de un objeto multidimensional

Este trabajo discute la noción de neorruralidad como herramienta analítica con la intención de esbozar una propuesta conceptual que colabore en enriquecer el conocimiento científico sobre esta temática. El objeto neorruralidad, si bien ha sido trabajado especialmente en Europa todavía es poco explorado en Latinoamérica. Esta situación provoca una notable ausencia teóricometodológica al considerar la importancia del contexto en estas investigaciones. Por tal motivo, buscamos problematizar los desafíos analíticos y empíricos que la movilidad ciudad-campo presenta para las ciencias sociales y para aquellos estudios que trabajan esta realidad desde una mirada particular (comunicación, migraciones y movilidades). El análisis parte de la hipótesis de que la noción de neorruralidad es un pseudoconcepto que engaña definiendo un fenómeno que en realidad es más complejo de lo que sugiere la etiqueta, además de prolongar el dualismo ruralurbano. En suma, esta manera de tipificar el fenómeno nos empuja en dirección de un objeto mal construido. Ante este panorama, a partir de un caso de base etnográfica se reflexiona sobre la naturaleza del conocimiento neorrural y sus fuentes, en un ejercicio de indagación en torno a un fenómeno histórico, complejo, emergente, dinámico, situado, localizado, multidimensional (temporal, espacial, espiritual y experiencial) y transdisciplinar.
Introductory Chapter: Management of Tinnitus - The Views of Various Disciplines

Today, tinnitus has become more common in most modern world. In this case, we assume a huge number of people suffer from tinnitus and they desire to find solutions. Furthermore, suffering from tinnitus can be also related to psychological problem in social life. This means that when tinnitus is ringing for 24 hours a day, then people cannot have a standard quality of life, including sleeping. It also affects communication skills which indicate that tinnitus is usually associated with hearing loss, in a physiological way. However, some clinicians do not realize precisely how important the tinnitus is related with their patients’ life and put their life in vicious circle.
The Relationship Between Learning Style and Their Historical Thinking Skills Practices: A Correlation Survey Study

The correlation survey study aimed to determine whether there is relationship between learning style of students and their historical thinking skills practices. A total of 865 form two students from a state of north peninsular Malaysia through random simple sampling techniques are involved as sample in this study. The adapted Index Learning Style and historical thinking skills practices which has validated by the expert and has a good reliability value are research instruments in this study. The data of this study was analyzed inferentially through Pearson Correlation test using IBM SPPS Statictics. The findings indicated that there is a significant positive high linear relationship between visual-verbal and active- reflective style dimensions and historical thinking skills practices. In addition, the findings also showed that there is a significant positive moderate high linear relationship between sensing-intuitive style dimensions with historical thinking skills. However, the sequential-global style dimensions and historical thinking skills practices have a significant positive low linear relationship in this study. The implications of this study suggested that the history teachers need to plan a strategic teaching and learning activities by focusing on students learning styles and historical thinking skills practices which are interconnected in line to create the meaningful history learning process.
An Improved Robust Fractionalized PID Controller for a Class of Fractional-Order Systems with Measurement Noise

Recently, many research works have focused on fractional order control (FOC) and fractional systems. It has proven to be a good mean for improving the plant dynamics with respect to response time and disturbance rejection. In this paper we propose a new approach for robust control by fractionalizing an integer order integrator in the classical PID control scheme and we use the Sub-optimal Approximation of fractional order transfer function to design the parameters of PID controller, after that we study the performance analysis of fractionalized PID controller over integer order PID controller. The implementation of the fractionalized terms is realized by mean of well-established numerical approximation methods. Illustrative simulation examples show that the disturbance rejection is improved by 50%. This approach can also be generalized to a wide range of control methods.

Influence of gender on the tactical skill and motivational aspects in invasion sports in Physical Education

The main purpose of the present study was to compare the objective, perceived and conceptual tactical skill in invasion sports (indoor football and basketball) between male and female elementary schoolchildren; and secondarily was to compare between genders, physical activity´s levels, intention to be physically active, perceived coordination/competence, intrinsic satisfaction in sport and climate task in Physical Education. A total of 104 elementary schoolchildren of 5th-6th grade of Primary Education, 49 males and 55 females (average age = 10,63 ± 0,64 years), were assessed of objective perceived and conceptual tactical skill in invasion sports, through small-sided games, as well as intention to be physically active, perceived coordination/competence, intrinsic satisfaction in sport and climate task in Physical Education. The results showed that male schoolchildren had significant higher levels of objective and perceived tactical skill, intention to be physically active, perceived competence/coordination, and fun than females (p < 0.05), as well as less boredom´s levels (p < 0.05). However, significant differences for the conceptual tactical skill, physical activity´s levels and climate task in Physical Education were not found (p > 0.05). In the teaching of invasion sports, Physical Education teachers should develop specific strategies for this content, to avoid problems derived from gender differences.
Aid Scepticism and Effective Altruism

In the article, ‘Being Good in a World of Need: Some Empirical Worries and an Uncomfortable Philosophical Possibility,’ Larry Temkin presents some concerns about the possible impact of international aid on the poorest people in the world, suggesting that the nature of the duties of beneficence of the global rich to the global poor are much more murky than some people have made out. <br><br>In this article, I’ll respond to Temkin from the perspective of effective altruism — one of the targets he attacks. I’ll argue that Temkin’s critique has little empirical justification, given the conclusions he wants to reach, and is therefore impotent.

Knowledge and Perception of Parents Towards Diet in Children With Autism

Gluten Free Casein Free (GFCF) is a diet recommendation to reduce hyperactivity in children with autism. Lack of adherence and knowledge can lead to improper dietary application which will result in remaining health problems and hyperactive behavior of autistic children. The purpose of this study is to examine knowledge and perception of parents towards GFCF diet in children with autism. This descriptive-quantitative study used a total sampling technique to 57 parents of autistic children in 3 Bandung District Extraordinary Schools. Data was obtained through questionnaire with validity ranging from 0.315-0.912 and reliability of 0.788 and 0.932. Data was analyzed using frequency and percentage in descriptive statistics. Results showed that some parents lacked of knowledge (n = 28), and 67% of subjects (n = 38) had a positive perception of GFCF diet. Positive perception includes perception of benefits, perception of susceptibility, perception of self efficacy, and perception of severity. In the perception of barrier, some subjects had negative perception. Based on the results, several parents had positive perception of GFCF diet, although the parental knowledge related to this diet was in the low category. That is likely because of parents have not received sufficient information related to GFCF diet. Therefore, health workers especially community nurses are expected to collaborate with nutritionists in making regular visits in order to provide parents of autistic children with health education related to GFCF diet in extraordinary schools.

Nursing students’ and lecturers’ experiences of learning at a university-based nursing student–run health clinic

ABSTRACT This article aims to describe the phenomenon of learning at a university-based nursing student–run health clinic, as experienced by student nurses and lecturers. The study is based on a reflective lifeworld research approach founded on continental philosophy. Eight group interviews were conducted with 38 student nurses and 5 lecturers. The data were explored and analysed for meaning. The results show that learning is supported by a permissive learning environment that builds on both individual and common learning as well as equal relationships within the student group, in relation to the visitors at the health clinic and, to a certain extent, in relation to the lecturers. The most significant finding is that reflective, development-oriented learning takes place when the students, supported by each other and their lecturers, reflect on how to relate to problems and situations. A situation-based learning approach is thus shown to create the prerequisites for lecturers being nearby, reflective dialogue partners but also supervisors in situations where the students ask for support and guidance.
An improved whole life satisfaction theory of happiness?

Philosophers and others have been captivated by the idea that happiness may be understood to be “satisfaction with life as a whole. ” For a person to be happy, according to this idea, is for that person to be satisfied with his or her life as a whole. The view has been developed in a variety of forms, but has been subjected to serious objection in every form. In a paper published in volume 1, number 1 of the International Journal of Wellbeing, Jussi Suikkanen presented what he took to be a new and improved form of Whole Life Satisfactionism. He tried to show that in his formulation, the theory overcomes objections that I have presented elsewhere. In the present paper, after describing the context in which Suikkanen’s proposal appears, I present what I take to be the central point of Suikkanen’s work. I mention some obscurities. I try to show no matter how these obscurities are resolved, the proposed view is still open to objections similar to ones already in the literature.
The Significance of Research Methods with Reference to Language Education in Higher Education

This research paper investigates the significance of research in language education in the higher education sector. For this purpose, the researcher conducted a case study with twenty 4th year students studying English at the University of Human Development (UHD), Iraqi Kurdistan Region. They were selected based on purposive sampling. The participants were invited to respond to a questionnaire that was created and piloted by the researcher. They were also requested to take part in a structured interview. The findings show that the nature of research methods for 4th year students across higher education is complex and elusive. The findings also show that most of the students almost have the same problems and they have similar views on their final project as they started at the beginning of the final year of the academic year (2018-2019) at the University of Human Development.
Supervised Exercise Patterns among Diabetic and Non-diabetic Portuguese Adults

Background. Physical activity (PA) is a keystone of diabetes management, but although self-exercise is beneficial, supervised exercise (SE), adapted to individual characteristics, and is more effective. Objectives. The main research goal is to compare SE patterns among diabetic and non-diabetic Portuguese adults. Methods. A total of 484 participants (85 diabetics, 399 non-diabetics), aged 41-90 years old (mean=58.9; SD=11.9) were interviewed. PA level was assessed using short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Attendance in different SE programs was evaluated across three kinds of PA programs providers: gym/health-clubs; swimming pools and other club/ sports facilities. Itens like Barriers to Exercise; Intention to participate; Importance of the structure and PA information sources were also evaluated. Independent t-tests were used to examine the difference between the group means, and Levene’s test was used to check the homokedasticity of the groups’ variances. Results. PA level of diabetics (32% low; 25% moderate; 44% high) and non-diabetics (29% low; 33% moderate; 39% high) display no differences. 90% of diabetics do not attend SE. The main barrier for diabetics’ non-participation is the perception that the exercise is not adequate to their health. Doctors are the preferred information source for diabetics and they rely less on information provided by the Internet, with may impair on-line campaigns. Conclusion. Promoting exercise in diabetics should shift the focus from "promoting physical activity" to "promoting SE".
Exploring the impact of perceived AMO framework on constructive and destructive deviance

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of perceived abilities-motivation-opportunity (AMO framework) enhancing human resource management practices on destructive and constructive deviance through employee engagement. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 350 middle-level information technology employees. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the proposed hypotheses. Findings Results revealed significant relationships between perceived AMO framework and destructive and constructive deviance, except for the relationship between perceived ability and destructive deviance. Furthermore, perceived AMO framework exhibited a significant positive relationship with employee engagement. Utilizing social exchange theory, results proposed partial mediation of employee engagement between perceived AMO framework and constructive and destructive deviance except for the relationship between perceived ability and destructive deviance, for which employee engagement exhibited full mediation. Research limitations/implications This study implies that contemporary organizations must take initiatives to enhance employee engagement through the implementation of abilities, motivation and opportunities-enhancing human resource management (HRM) practices (AMO framework). Results of the study infer that motivation-enhancing HRM practices contribute highest in generating employee engagement followed by opportunity and abilities-enhancing HRM practices. Originality/value This study empirically investigates the impact of HRM bundles on both destructive and constructive deviance. Additionally, this study explores the underlying mechanism between HRM bundles and workplace deviance by assessing the mediating role of employee engagement.

The Kalai-Smorodinsky solution for many-objective Bayesian optimization

An ongoing aim of research in multiobjective Bayesian optimization is to extend its applicability to a large number of objectives. While coping with a limited budget of evaluations, recovering the set of optimal compromise solutions generally requires numerous observations and is less interpretable since this set tends to grow larger with the number of objectives. We thus propose to focus on a specific solution originating from game theory, the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution, which possesses attractive properties. In particular, it ensures equal marginal gains over all objectives. We further make it insensitive to a monotonic transformation of the objectives by considering the objectives in the copula space. A novel tailored algorithm is proposed to search for the solution, in the form of a Bayesian optimization algorithm: sequential sampling decisions are made based on acquisition functions that derive from an instrumental Gaussian process prior. Our approach is tested on four problems with respectively four, six, eight, and nine objectives. The method is available in the Rpackage GPGame available on CRAN at this https URL
No Relationships Between the Within-Subjects’ Variability of Pain Intensity Reports and Variability of Other Bodily Sensations Reports

Purpose The subjective nature of pain assessment and its large variance negatively affect patient–health care provider communication and reduce the assay sensitivity of pain clinical trials. Given the lack of an objective gold standard measure, identifying the source (true or error) of the within-subject variability of pain reports is a challenge. By assessing the within-subjects variability of pain and taste reports, alongside with interoceptive measures, the current study is aimed to investigate if the ability to reliably report bodily sensations is a cross-modal characteristic. Patients and Methods This prospective study enrolled healthy volunteers from local universities. After consenting, subjects underwent the Focus Analgesia Selection Task (FAST), to assess within-subjects variability of pain reports in response to experimental noxious stimuli; a taste task, which similarly assesses within-subjects variability of tastes (salty and sweet) intensity reports; and the heartbeat perception task, an interoceptive task aimed to assess how accurate subjects are in monitoring and reporting their own heartbeat. In addition, all subjects completed the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Spearman’s correlations were used to assess relations between all measures. Results Sixty healthy volunteers were recruited. Variability of intensity reports of different modalities were independent of each other (P > 0.05 for all correlations). The only correlation found was within modality, between variability of intensity reports of salt and sweet tastes (Spearman’s r = 0.477, P < 0.001). No correlations were found between any of the task results and questionnaire results. Conclusion Within-subjects variability of pain reports do not relate to variability of reports of other modalities or to interoceptive awareness. Further research is ongoing to investigate the clinical relevance of within-subjects’ variability of pain reports.
