Authors: Lopes Érika Lucas , Silva Fabiana Alves da , Corrêa Leidmilla Urbano de Lima Azevedo
Published: April 2024

O Programa Saúde na Escola tem um caráter multidisciplinar, porque considera os determinantes sociais da saúde e entende que a saúde é também um direito humano. De fato, dentre os temas trabalhados pelo PSE, temos as questões referentes à paz, cidadania e direitos humanos. Embora haja intenso movimento e ações com vistas à promoção da saúde, os serviços de saúde e a escola não contemplam as necessidades do adolescente, por ser uma pessoa com características de riscos, vulnerabilidades e demandas específicas de cuidados.

Atualmente a taxa de abuso de substâncias nocivas ao organismo como a cocaína, opióides, cigarros eletrônicos, esteroides anabolizantes e o etanol está aumentando entre jovens adultos. O reconhecimento mundial de que certas substâncias podem levar ao vício levou a sociedade a olhar atentamente para os produtos químicos e seus efeitos no corpo humano. O abuso da cocaína tem raízes nas civilizações pré-colombianas dos Andes, que há cerca de 4500 anos já utilizavam da folha extraída da planta Erythroxylon. Surge então a problemática da cocaína ingerida junto ao etanol, produzindo um metabólito psicoativo denominado Cocaetileno que produz efeitos mais longos e duradouros do que a cocaína utilizada de forma isolada. O coração é formado por músculos, vasos e tecidos nervosos que são afetados exclusivamente por substâncias químicas e é importante que os médicos tenham ciência da existência cocaetileno e de como ele pode exacerbar os distúrbios cardiovasculares induzidos pela junção da cocaína e do etanol.
Itinerant Curriculum Theory: Challenging the Monumentalism of the Cartesian Epistemicidal Reason
Authors:   Asian Qualitative Inquiry Association, f f
Published: April 2024

Modern Western Eurocentric reason, science, and theory have proven to be insufficient to solve humanity’s great challenges. The article examines the underlying reasons for this failure and denounces ‘eugenics’ as the original sin of the Cartesian matrix; it also highlights how particular counter-hegemonic epistemological Eurocentric veins in the field lost focus on the crucial battles and challenges facing humanity. While doing so, the paper argues how Eurocentrism is a divisive epistemological matrix that has obliterated historically other epistemological forms. The article examines how the Eurocentric epistemological matrix is the eugenic riverbed for the monumentality of a racialized reason, science, and theory. The paper explores the role of the curriculum field in producing, perpetuating, and legitimating such eugenic reason; in so doing, the paper denounces the curriculum field as epistemicidal and advances the itinerant curriculum theory (ICT) as a non-derivative path to challenge the monumentality of a racialized Euricentric reason.
Small-holder Fish Farming in the Upper Kuttanad and Brackish Water Villages of Alappuzha District, Kerala, India
Authors: Ajan Anju , Cheriyan Letha P.
Published: April 2024

In Kerala, smallholder aquaculture emerges as an alluring and significant part of rural lives, improving livelihoods and ensuring a sustainable supply of inland fish. One hundred and four smallholder fish farms were surveyed from the upper Kuttanad and brackish water villages of Alappuzha, the state's leading district for inland fish production. Personal interviews and questionnaires were employed to get primary data on species farmed, culture method, feed, and the challenges smallholder farmers faced. The most common fish species cultured in smallholder fish farms is Oreochromis niloticus (GIFT) (34%), followed by Etroplus suratensis (31%), Pangasius pangasius (15%), Anabas testudineus (6%), Channa striata (6%), Labeo rohita (4%), and Heteropneustes fossilis (4%). In the brackish water villages, 60% of the fish cultured are Etroplus suratensis. Eighty-one per cent of the farmers used ponds, 11% used biofloc, and 8% used cages. Sixty-six percent of farmers used commercially manufactured pellet feed, 21% poultry waste, 12% used food waste, and 1% live Black soldier flies. Fish cultured using the bio floc method are the most affected by the fungal disease, gill rot. Anabas testudineus cultured at high stocking density in bio floc showed tail-biting behaviour followed by bacterial infection. Fifty-one percent of farmers reported a lack of appropriate technical and financial aid from the government, including the withdrawal of subsidies for feed purchases. Even though the 2018 flood seriously affected the fish farms, only 8% of farmers reported the flood as a problem affecting their farms. The major challenges brackish water farmers faced were the intrusion of saline water from the nearby lake and the poaching of juvenile and mature fish from natural ponds. Apart from the monetary assistance provided by the government for starting farms under the "Jankeeya Matsya Krishi" Project, smallholder farmers should need additional help with insurance and subsidies to promote sustainable aquaculture.

Published: April 2024

Cardiac biomarkers play a crucial role in diagnosing heart disease in veterinary medicine. This collaborative study, involving 2497 dogs of various breeds, ages, and genders, was conducted collaboratively at the Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, RAJUVAS, Bikaner, and the Chandrika Chimanlal Doshi Cardiovascular Unit for Animals, Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, Ethics, and Jurisprudence, Bombay Veterinary College, Parel, Mumbai-12.Through meticulous examination, including historical analysis, clinical evaluation, and advanced diagnostic techniques like echocardiography, researchers conclusively diagnosed 29 cases of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Canine-specific cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) levels were measured, showing significant differences between healthy and DCM-affected dogs. Among DCM cases, bilaterally affected dogs exhibited the highest cTnI levels. Similarly, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) analysis revealed significant differences between healthy and DCM-affected dogs, with notably elevated levels in bilaterally affected dogs. N-Terminal-pro-BNP analysis also indicated significant differences between healthy and DCM-affected dogs.
However, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) analysis showed no significant differences between healthy and DCM-affected dogs, except for lower levels observed in right DCM cases. Endothelin 1 analysis showed non-significant differences between healthy and DCM-affected dogs, except for higher levels in bilateral DCM cases.
While these biomarkers offer promising diagnostic insights, they have limitations. Proper sample handling, longer turnaround times, and the necessity for concurrent analysis of renal and hepatic function are crucial considerations. Additionally, these biomarkers complement but do not replace other diagnostic methods such as radiography and echocardiography. Further research in larger dog populations is warranted to validate and refine these findings.

Published: April 2024

One of the world's largest nations, India is known for its distinctive landscape, which distinguishes it as a distinct geographical entity and a global center of mega diversity. Pest populations in vegetable crops may be significantly impacted by climate change.
Additionally, warmer temperatures can lead to faster insect development and increased reproductive rates. Farmers and researchers need to monitor these changes and develop strategies to mitigate the potential negative effects on vegetable crops. In response to climate change, whiteflies may exhibit shifts in their distribution patterns, population sizes, and behavior. They may also evolve certain traits that help them better survive in warmer or more variable climates.

Published: April 2024

El estudio se centra en los aspectos psicosociales de los cuidadores de personas con discapacidad motora en la parroquia San Luis, Ecuador, utilizando un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal que involucra entrevistas semiestructuradas basadas en la Escala de Carga del Cuidador de Zarit para la recolección de datos. Se destaca una prevalencia de mujeres en este rol, reflejando roles arraigados culturalmente, con la mayoría de los cuidadores entre 36 y 45 años y con más de 7 años de experiencia, mostrando una dedicación prolongada. Los resultados revelan una amplia gama de emociones experimentadas por los cuidadores, desde sufrimiento y llanto hasta una carga emocional significativa, clasificable en distintos niveles de frecuencia. A pesar de estas experiencias, muchos carecen del apoyo familiar necesario, lo que aumenta su sensación de sobrecarga y aislamiento, mientras enfrentan diversas responsabilidades diarias que pueden impactar su bienestar físico y emocional, incluyendo la necesidad de trabajar para cubrir las demandas económicas de sus familiares con discapacidad, añadiendo una presión adicional. Estos hallazgos destacan la necesidad de proporcionar apoyo y recursos adecuados, así como implementar políticas y programas que fomenten el bienestar físico, emocional y económico de los cuidadores. Reconocer y valorar su labor es esencial, junto con trabajar en colaboración para mejorar tanto su calidad de vida como la de las personas bajo su cuidado.
Development of Latitude/Longitude (and Route/Milepost) Model for Positioning Traffic Management Cameras

Published: April 2024

Traffic Incident Management (TIM) is a FHWA Every Day Counts initiative with the objective of reducing secondary crashes, improving travel reliability, and ensuring the safety of responders. Agency roadside cameras play a critical role in TIM by helping dispatchers quickly identify the precise location of incidents when receiving reports from motorists with varying levels of spatial accuracy. Reconciling position reports that are often mile-marker based with cameras that operate in a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) coordinate system relies on dispatchers having detailed knowledge of hundreds of cameras and perhaps some presets. During real-time incident dispatching, reducing the time it takes to identify the most relevant cameras and view the incident improves incident management dispatch times. This research developed a camera-to-mile marker mapping technique that automatically sets the camera view to a specified mile marker within the field-of-view of the camera. A new performance metric on verification time (TEYE) that captures the time it takes for TMC operators to have the first visual on roadside cameras is proposed for integration into the FHWA TIM event sequence. Performance metrics that summarize spatial camera coverage and image quality for use in both dispatch and long-term statewide planning for camera deployments were also developed. Using mobile mapping and LiDAR geospatial data to automate the mapping of mile markers to camera PTZ settings, and the integration of connected vehicle trajectory data to detect incidents and set the nearest camera view on the incident are both discussed for future studies.
The State and Exception: The Case of Turkey
Authors: Uysal Gönenç
Published: April 2024

There is a burgeoning academic interest in the notion of exception to discuss the state and its sovereignty in today’s world order. Such interest is no surprise for ones who have witnessed exceptional measures the advanced capitalist states and states in the Global South have resorted to. Some scholars date back the exceptional forms and practices to the COVID-19 pandemic when the states “adopt[ed] repressive measures for purposes unrelated to the pandemic” (Guterres 2020).
Type 1 diabetes and menopause, what women would like to know: a public and patient involvement exercise
Authors: Forde Rita , King Lisa , Cooper Anne , Winkley Kirsty , Coates Vivien
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Managing the impacts of the menopause can be a tedious experience for many women, and when coupled with diabetes, the challenges are multiplied. Literature searches confirm a dearth of information and support to help women with these dual conditions.
Methods: A Patient Public Involvement exercise involving an online survey disseminated electronically via social media amongst the Type 1 diabetes online community. It comprised five closed questions and one open question to elicit priority needs. The survey was supplemented with a subsequent Twitter chat. The paper conforms to the guidance for reporting of patient and public involvement in health and social care research (GRIPP).
Results: Of the 184 women who completed the survey across the United Kingdom, most were aged between 40 and 59 years (n = 167, 90.8%). Although 137 (72.8%) women reported that menopause had impacted on their diabetes, only a minority (n = 50, 27.2%) indicated that it had ever been discussed with them. The overarching theme from the open question was of an overall Lack of awareness about the impacts of menopause, with the following subthemes: 1) Need for information about menopause, 2) An additional burden, 3) Symptoms of diabetes or menopause? and 4) Communication – expectations of care.
Conclusions: Women need information, support and guidance during this phase of life. This oft overlooked aspect of care is engendering frustration and suboptimal diabetes management and will be a topic raised with increasing frequency in general practice and diabetes specialities. The management of diabetes and menopause deserves more attention across the diabetes community.

Este artigo mostra os resultados de um inventário do patrimônio arqueológico (com ênfase em sítios arqueológicos com grafismos rupestres) na Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) da Escarpa Devoniana no município de Ponta Grossa. Os métodos e técnicas utilizados para a produção da presente pesquisa incluíram o mapeamento dos sítios, o registro fotográfico de todos os painéis rupestres, a produção de decalques digitais e a realização de análise estatística com o suporte de gráficos. Ao todo, foram inventariados 52 sítios arqueológicos. Foram obtidas mais de 14 mil imagens de alta resolução, sem a utilização de flash, totalizando mais de 160 gigabytes de arquivos e produzidos decalques digitais de 277 painéis, contendo um total de 1.212 figuras pintadas por povos originários que habitaram a região de centenas há milhares de anos. Além disso, foram descobertas 12 oficinas líticas, oito gravuras e quatro locais com ocorrência de materiais líticos e/ou cerâmicos (com afloramento em superfície). O trabalho evidenciou que muitos dos grafismos que não eram possíveis de serem observados a olho nu, foram revelados a partir de decalques digitais produzidos com técnicas de realce de imagens, o que mostra o quão rico são os registros dessas comunidades originárias, além de revelar a diversidade e a abundância das pinturas rupestres na referida área, que até então, não era conhecida por seu potencial arqueológico.

Video Games and Adolescents’ Deviant Behaviours in Selected Secondary Schools in the Bamenda Municipality in the North West Region of Cameroon
Authors: Nafogh Dinga Henrieta , Anyi Einstein Moses Egebe , Nji Angu Roland
Published: April 2024

Aim: This study aimed at investigating the effects of video games on adolescents’ deviant behaviours in selected secondary schools in Bamenda municipality, in Mezam Division of the North West Region of Cameroon. The specific objective was to examine how video games affect adolescents’ deviant behaviors.

Methods: The theoretical underpinnings of this study was informed by Albert Bandura’s (1997) Social learning theory, Hirschi's Social Control Theory (2002) and Roggers’ Innovation-diffusion theory (1995). The study employed the concurrent mixed method design whereby both qualitative and quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. A sample of 384 were randomly selected from five high schools located within the Bamenda Municipality in the North West Region of Cameroon. These schools were GBHS Bamendankwe, GBHS Downtown, GBTHS Bamenda, PCHS Mankon and SMASA Nkwen. A structured questionnaire and an interview guide were the main data collection instruments. Linear regression analysis was used to verify the effect of video games on adolescents’ deviant behaviours. The hypothesis was tested at the significance level of 0.05. The qualitative data obtained were analyzed using the technique of content thematic analysis.

Results: Regression analysis shows that when video games increase by one unit, adolescents’ deviant behavior increases by 0. 572 unit.

Conclusion: Given that this increase is significant with a p-value of 0.000, it is evident from the study that video games significantly affect adolescents’ deviant behavior.

Recommendation: Adolescents should not spend most of their time using their ICTs gadgets to play video games rather they should use them to engage in more productive activities like personal research and to study. The government can equally put restrictions on/or block the download of game apps that are not beneficial to adolescents within its borders.
Measuring Panic as a Facet of Anxiety on Students’ Oral and Written Assessment in The University of Bamenda, Cameroon
Authors: Wiysahnyuy Lilian F , Nyamnyor Ndi Joel
Published: April 2024

Aim: The growing concern about the declining academic performance of students in Cameroon schools and colleges provokes varied reflections on the possible factors. One, but less obvious issue is anxiety, manifested in forms like agitation, excessive worrying, restlessness, and panic. While these variants are all critical in appreciating the connections with classroom assessment, this paper primarily isolates and focuses on panic, given its common visible expression among students. Specifically, the paper centers on how panic affects the performance of students in oral and written classroom assessments at the University of Bamenda.

Methods: Systematic random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select 327 second-year students from the Faculty of Arts, Higher Teacher Training College, and the Faculty of Science to participate in the study. A sequential explanatory research design aided by a structured questionnaire, interview, and observation was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the likelihood ratio test was used to test the hypothesis. 

Results: The findings showed that panic has a high significant effect on students’ performance in assessment (Chi-square = 232.054, df = 60, P = 0.000, far <0.05).

Conclusion: The findings indicated, among others, that when students exhibit panic during assessments, they lose concentration, forget what they studied, easily make errors, and experience disorganized speech, especially during oral assessments.

Recommendation: To reduce this type of anxiety during assessment, there is a need for intensive rehearsals before assessment, the avoidance of panic triggers, especially from invigilators, and fairness in time allocation for both oral and written assessments.
Science lab safety goes immersive: An ecological media-comparison study with gender analyses assessing iVR’s learning effectiveness
Authors: Pande Prajakt , Jepsen Per Meyer
Published: April 2024

We conducted a media-comparison study in ecologically valid settings to understand immersive virtual reality’s (iVR’s) instructional effectiveness in a university science course. We tested how complementing regular science lab safety instruction with interactive iVR simulation, desktop simulation, or the re-viewing of a text-heavy manual compare with each other in terms of knowledge-related and affective learning outcomes. We also explored gender differences in the outcomes across these instructional conditions. 102 undergraduates (51 females) were randomly assigned to one of the instructional conditions. Throughout the one-day course, all students received the same set of instructions, demonstrations, and hands-on lab safety training except for the following: the iVR group engaged with HMD-based interactive lab safety iVR training simulation; the desktop group interacted with the same simulation on a laptop, whereas the remaining group re-viewed the text-heavy course material in detail. Topic knowledge-related and self-report affective data were collected before and immediately after the course. Statistical analyses revealed that: (i) all three instructional modes helped students gain significant lab safety knowledge, (ii) there were several significant between-group differences in multiple affective measures, and (iii) the instructional modes affected/benefited the two genders considerably differently. Besides extending previous findings, the strong ecological grounding of our results adds important insights into real-life implications of integrating different media in undergraduate education. Our gender-related findings merely scratch the surface on the complex issue of “designing for diversity”, inviting scaled-up efforts to develop more equitable technology-enhanced science learning settings to address the cognitive-affective needs of different genders and other diversities.

The Effect of Sentence-Combining and Kernel-Identification Training on the Syntactic Component of Reading Comprehension
Authors: Neville Donald D. , Searls Evelyn F.
Published: April 2024

This study examined the effect of sentence-combining and kernel-identification practice on the syntactic component of sixth graders’ reading comprehension, as measured by a cloze instrument developed by the authors, and by two subtests from the norm-referenced Test of Reading Comprehension (TORC). The experimental group completed eight open sentence-combining exercises, seven kernel-identification exercises, and eight cloze exercises over a 10-week period (two or three exercises per week). The comparison group completed eight cloze exercises during the same period. When covaried by Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills Total Reading scores and by pretest scores on the cloze instrument, results on the immediate posttest administration of the cloze instrument were significantly (p ˂ .001) in favor of the experimental group; results on a 6-week delayed administration of the cloze instrument approached but did not reach significance in favor of the experimental group (p ˂ .07). There was no significant difference between experimental and comparison groups on the two TORC subtests. Since the readability of the cloze instrument was estimated at eighth grade level (due primarily to the use of longer and more complex T-units), it was inferred that sentence-combining and kernel-identification training enabled the experimental group to comprehend longer, syntactically more complex sentences and to exhibit a tendency toward retention of this ability over a 6-week period.
As Plantas em O Esplendor De Portugal, de António Lobo Antunes

Published: April 2024

Este artigo elabora uma leitura dos fantasmas imperiais (Vecchi, 2010) que surgem a partir das relações entre os narradores e as plantas em O esplendor de Portugal, de António Lobo Antunes. Realçaremos as explorações humanas e não-humanas, valorizando os rastros clorofílicos (Nascimento, 2021) no romance. Nossa hipótese é que as relações mediam as memórias coloniais soterradas, precisamente após a Independência de Angola, durante a guerra civil. As plantas expõem o que resta do passado no tempo presente, sendo alegorias testemunhais na narrativa. Além disso, elas anunciam formas-de-vida distintas das produzidas pelo colonialismo.
O que ficou para trás: o luto da língua
Authors: Mattos Luan Alex de , Stübe Angela Derlise
Published: April 2024

Esse texto discute a dimensão da perda e do luto em situações de mudança de língua em decorrência da migração e se orienta por uma pergunta: “Que perdas acontecem e se marcam no processo de migração e mudança de língua?” Buscando sustentar essa discussão, trabalhamos com uma abordagem discursiva, psicanaliticamente orientada e amparada nos saberes da desconstrução. Pudemos compreender que no processo de migração, mudanças atravessam o sujeito. As perdas que se dão nesse movimento de mudança vão para além da dimensão linguística, mas nela se apoiam para se re-marcar e o não poder dizer se faz presente.
Who is a refugee? The motive of double standard in French- and Dutch-speaking media during the war in Ukraine
Authors: Calabrese Laura , Balty Cécile , Mistiaen Valériane , Neste-Gottignies Amandine Van
Published: April 2024

The invasion of Ukraine triggered an unprecedented reaction of solidarity from European governments. This article aims at studying the discursive moment of the war in Ukraine, with a focus on the debate that compared the reception of Ukrainians in the present day and of other refugees in 2015. The goal is twofold: first, to objectify the initial intuition that Ukrainians were unanimously considered as deserving refugees; second, to examine the arguments that underlaid this framing. To achieve this goal, a large corpus of media discourse covering three European neighbouring countries (Belgium, France and the Netherlands) was collected and analysed through Corpus Linguistics.

Authors: Deusdará Bruno , Xavier Priscila
Published: April 2024

Nesta pesquisa, por meio da Análise Cartográfica do Discurso, mapeamos reportagens veiculadas em alguns dos principais sites jornalísticos, que noticiaram o brutal assassinato do congolês Moïse Kabagambe, em janeiro de 2022. No estudo, buscamos compreender os efeitos de sentido e as relações de credibilidade/verdade que os veículos transmitem aos discursos das personagens e a isenção de responsabilidade da mídia diante dos relatos dos entrevistados. Também pretendemos articular as práticas discursiva e de produção, observando como uma comunidade transfere suas ideologias e como sustenta esses textos. Tais critérios são importantes na busca do diálogo e do intercambio conceitual (DEUSDARÁ, ROCHA, 2021).
Não entres tão depressa nessa noite escura e o romance de António Lobo Antunes
Authors: Oliveira Neto Pedro Fernandes de
Published: April 2024

Este ensaio crítico-interpretativo se desenvolve em torno de Não entres tão depressa nessa noite escura e examina duas questões e alguns desdobramentos: como este romance se situa na obra de António Lobo Antunes, pela leitura dos seus aspectos formais, estruturais e temáticos, tais como, o procedimento da narrativização, os movimentos narrativos e a recorrência do dilema do sujeito no tempo dos paradoxos terminais; depois, examina a funcionalidade de alguns elementos textuais, primando as relações com intertextos e paratextos compreendendo-os em pelo menos dupla função, a de índices da narrativa e de sentidos para os conteúdos acessados na/pela tessitura romanesca.

A prospective randomised study to compare the efficacy of Medicam pediatric video Laryngoscope and Macintosh Laryngoscope as an intubating device in pediatric patients: Videolaryngoscopy in pediatric airway
Authors: Khalid Atif , Nasreen Farah , Athar Manazir
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Airway management in paediatric patients is always a challenging task due to limited functional reserve. Recently, many airway devices have been utilized with varied success rates. The Medicam Paediatric Video Laryngoscope (MPVL) is a recent addition that may significantly impact paediatric airway outcomes. Hence, the present study was designed to assess the efficacy of MPVL and the Macintosh direct laryngoscope in terms of intubation characteristics. Methods: Following ethical approval and informed consent, this prospective, randomized study included sixty ASA I and II patients of either sex aged between 2 and 10 years of age. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: Medicam Paediatric Video Laryngocope and Direct Laringocopy (n = 30 each), to be intubated with the Medicam Paediatric video laryngoscope and Macintosh direct laryngoscope, respectively. The primary outcome was intubation time, while the secondary outcome was first attempt success rate, Cormack Lehane grade, and ease of intubation. Results: The mean time to intubation in group MPVL was 16.0 ± 2.88 seconds, and in group DL was 12.33 ± 2.72 seconds (p-value < 0.05). Cormack-Lehane grade 1 was significantly higher in Group MPVL than Group DL (p = 0.04). The two devices were comparable in terms of first-attempt success rate and ease of intubation. No complications were observed except in one patient in the DL group. Conclusion: MPVL provides better glottis visualization and a trend towards a higher first attempt success rate at the expense of prolonged intubation time. However, the time difference regarding intubation was not clinically significant.
Enseñar geografía en el siglo XXI: del aula al territorio
Authors: Correa González Jordan , López Díez Abel , Díaz Pacheco Jaime Salvador
Published: April 2024

Los paradigmas pedagógicos actuales sugieren la conveniencia de apostar por enfoques que sitúen al estudiantado en el centro de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, objetivo que puede satisfacerse mediante la renovada implementación de los métodos tradicionales de la ciencia geográfica. La geografía se encuentra ante la oportunidad —y responsabilidad— de erigirse en la disciplina académica que impulse la conformación de una ciudadanía comprometida con los retos medioambientales contemporáneos. Se analizan las salidas de campo como método didáctico para enseñar geografía en los centros de educación secundaria, realizando un breve estudio histórico, normativo y pedagógico sobre la cuestión. Además, se diseña una propuesta de salida de campo contextualizada en la isla de Tenerife cuyo ejemplo señala algunas de las temáticas que pueden abordarse a través de dichos itinerarios. En un momento en el que se insiste en la necesidad de crear una conciencia medioambiental entre el alumnado desde la esfera local, se precisa de iniciativas didácticas que contribuyan a favorecer el conocimiento y la valoración del espacio geográfico circundante. El resultado de la implementación de la dinámica propuesta señala que, tras la salida de campo, el alumnado manifiesta una mayor concienciación ambiental, un vínculo reforzado con el territorio y una mayor cohesión.

Franquismo contra los franquistas: los políticos de Guinea Ecuatorial ante el proceso de independencia (1967-1969)
Authors: Nerín Gustau
Published: April 2024

Los análisis sobre la independencia de Guinea Ecuatorial se han solido centrar en la compleja pugna entre diferentes sectores del gobierno español, unos favorables a ceder a las presiones independentistas de la ONU y otros partidarios de mantener la presencia española en la zona. Estos estudios tienden a invisibilizar las tomas de posición de los políticos guineanos. El presente artículo pretende poner en el centro del análisis los políticos independentistas de Guinea Ecuatorial para averiguar hasta qué punto el franquismo influyó en sus discursos y tomas de posición. A través del análisis de la correspondencia de los partidos independentistas con la ONU, las actas de la Conferencia Constitucional y los discursos de los políticos independentistas justo después de la independencia se tratará de valorar la pervivencia del legado franquista en este territorio africano.
