Trouble in the Home, and First Contact with the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Flores Jerry
Published: May 2017

In this chapter, I draw on feminist criminology and research on gender and crime to demonstrate how abuse and neglect in the home led the young women in my study to their first contact with the criminal justice system. I pay attention to how home instability is shaped by gendered, racialized, and class-specific challenges. First, I discuss the multiple types of abuse girls experience in the home. This mistreatment led the young women in my study to begin dating at an early age; this new behavior resulted in more abuse at the hands of family members, who viewed their behavior as inappropriate and a violation of “proper” behavior for young Latinas. As this abuse continued, most of the young women in my study began using controlled substances. Soon, they ran away from home. Once on the street, they experienced a new set of challenges, which included finding housing, staying safe, and avoiding physical and sexual abuse. By this point their initial drug use had usually turned into full-blown drug addiction. Drug use and abuse were key factors contributing to first girls’ arrest.
Legacy Community School and the New Face of Alternative Education
Authors: Flores Jerry
Published: May 2017

Legacy is California’s newest version of “continuation” or alternative education. This school is housed in a World War II army barrack. Here, kids are searched, made to walk through metal detectors, placed on formal or informal probation, and subjected to perpetual contact with criminal justice agents. In this school we find the Recuperation Class. This class is a self-contained program for youth with “drug dependence and other behavioral issues.” Unlike the rest of the school, the local probation department directly funds this classroom. In this unique setting, the teacher provides instruction as the probation agent walks around, conducts random drug tests on students, questions youth about their behavior outside of school, and/or takes them directly to detention. Legacy school officials have granted this criminal justice agency unfettered access to their students in return for financial support. While the probation department refers to this well-intentioned process as providing wraparound services to students, I argue that this process resembles “wraparound incarceration” where students cannot escape the formal surveillance of institutions of confinement. In this institution, young women move back and forth between this school and secure detention.
Developing Faith in a More Civil Society
Authors: Caldwell Melissa L.
Published: May 2017

This chapter examines the ambiguous role of religiously affiliated charitable organizations within the field of social justice work in Russia and how these organizations promote new ethics and practices of humaneness, civility, and civic engagement in their social welfare work. Specifically, religiously affiliated charitable organizations creatively play with both the official and unofficial criteria and terminology for different types of organizations and assistance – development, charity, humanitarianism, nongovernmental, religious, and secular – in ways that enable them to work both outside and alongside state organizations. In so doing, not only do they trouble distinctions between secular and religious, state and non-state, governmental and nongovernmental, but they also contribute to a different form of civil society and civil activism in Russia.
Living a Life of Service
Authors: Caldwell Melissa L.
Published: May 2017

This chapter analyzes Russian cultural values and practices of service, with particular emphasis on the role of religiously inspired service in support of state goals of equality and justice. Over the past several centuries, Russia’s religiously affiliated assistance groups have consistently focused on redressing inequalities, whether those are social, cultural, economic, or political. Working both in cooperation with official projects and governmental bodies and in opposition to regional and federal policies, religious communities have addressed issues and operated in arenas that have in turn complicated and expanded what counts as worship, service, action, and even the intended beneficiaries of their work. As the examples documented here show, through activities of civic service and engagement, religious communities and their followers have challenged distinctions between religious and secular and cultivated new ethics of voluntarism and political activism.
The Deficits of Generosity
Authors: Caldwell Melissa L.
Published: May 2017

This chapter examines the destructive aspects of generosity through a consideration of the disposition of gifts and other forms of assistance. These forms of assistance include money, material goods, legal services, and human rights advocacy and protections. By considering how Moscow’s assistance providers and recipients deliberate about what constitutes a good or appropriate gift and whether to accept problematic gifts or deny requests for assistance, this discussion unpacks the unexpected uncertainties and even dangers caused by generosity and excess. In some cases, refusals of assistance are more productive and compassionate, which in turn reshapes relationships of dependency and obligation between individuals, communities, organizations, and even the state.
Non-Nationalists, and Other Nationalists
Authors: Taruskin Richard
Published: May 2017

A reconsideration of the habit of classifying Russian music according to a crude binary (nationalist/non-nationalist) that is more the product of its foreign reception than its domestic significance. The contributions of two of its most active early publicists, Vladimir Stasov at home (and atypical) and Rosa Newmarch abroad (and typical), are given a detailed assessment, particularly as regards their treatment of Tchaikovsky.
Catching Up with Rimsky-Korsakov
Authors: Taruskin Richard
Published: May 2017

A recounting of the history of that strain of Stravinsky research and analysis that originated in the west with Arthur Berger’s discovery and naming of the octatonic scale in 1963, and what happened to that theory when it was linked to an indigenous Russian (i.e., St. Petersburg) tradition associated with Stravinsky’s teacher, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The ensuing controversies illuminate the sociology of knowledge production in the realm of music theory. The essay ends by proposing criteria whereby theoretical and analytical perceptions may be tested.

The Ghetto and the Imperium
Authors: Taruskin Richard
Published: May 2017

A comprehensive examination of the effects of changing Soviet policies regarding “nationalities” on the composition and judging of music under Soviet rule, beginning with a comparison of European romantic nationalism with the socialist internationalism of the early Soviet years, and continuing through the steady regression of the Stalinist regime toward the nationalist ideology that Marxism ostensibly rejected. The effect of that ideological contradiction on composers of minority populations within the Soviet imperium is compared with confinement in a ghetto.

Ephemeral Histories
Authors: Trumper Camilo D.
Published: May 2017

Ephemeral Histories: Public Art, Politics and the Struggle for the Street in Chile is a cultural history of the street in Chile during the presidency of Salvador Allende, the hemisphere’s first democratically elected Socialist president. Santiago became a contested political arena during Allende’s 1000 days in power. Residents across the political spectrum engaged in a heated battle to claim public space and challenge the terms and limits of political contest. Santiaguinos occupied public spaces in ways that appear fleeting, ephemeral, or mundane, but that challenged the sites and forms of legitimate political debate in Chile. Ephemeral Histories studies the tactics of political conflict— marches and protest, posters and murals, and documentary film and street photography—and sheds light on the contours of a public sphere of political debate rooted in urban practice. Street art, for instance, was both vehicle and window into a wider attempt to claim public spaces as a means of reimaging political citizenship. Graffiti, posters and murals might last an hour or a day before they were torn down or painted over, but they allowed a wide range of urban residents to redefine how and where politics was done and debated, and to reimagine the very mode of legitimate political debate in democracy and again in dictatorship. In fact, santiaguinos turned again to ephemeral political practices to rebuild political networks and reestablish political debate after the bloody military coup that deposed Allende on September 11, 1973. Placing urban and visual culture at the center of a story of political change over time, Ephemeral Histories traces the connections and continuities in political citizenship and practice in democracy and dictatorship. It suggests that the regime’s violence did not represent a clean rupture with the past, but a brutal engagement with the history of urban politics under Allende.
Weak Ties—Strong Emotions
Authors: Soyer Michaela
Published: May 2017

The interactions with staff members, clinicians, and probation officers are either fleeting or are shaped by power imbalance and mistrust. Even as they are embedded in a network of social workers, clinicians, and regular staff members, the young men realize that these connections are temporary and won’t translate into sustained support on the outside.
“I know how to control myself”
Authors: Soyer Michaela
Published: May 2017

Relying on Michel Foucault’s lectures, published as Hermeneutics of the Subject, chapter 7 presents the distinction between “creative desistance” and “automatic desistance.” Based on four cases studies, these concepts describe different strategies of action that develop in response to specific structural limitations the juvenile justice system imposed.
Speaking Truth to Power
Authors: Dabney Dean A. , Tewksbury Richard
Published: May 2017

Confidential informants have long occupied central role in the criminal investigation efforts of law enforcement authorities. Yet, there exists minimal contemporary scholarship to help illuminate the complex relationships and roles associated with covert intelligence gathering. This book draws upon a rich array of fieldwork and face-to-face interviews with police officers to provide insight into the confidential informant phenomenon. This concept of the police-citizen information exchange is set forth to account for the broad rubric of intelligence collection done by police. A four-part framework is provided to organize the exchange types based upon the motivations and goals that underlie the relationship. The utility of confidential informants is thoroughly explored, with attention focused on the potential benefits and pitfalls that follow. Detailed consideration is given to how officers recruit, nurture, and manage confidential informants. We argue that the police-citizen information exchange has become deeply woven into the fabric of contemporary policing, beginning with vice crime enforcement but emanating outward, so much so that scaling it back warrants a series of daunting practical considerations.
Finding Women in the State
Authors: Zheng Wang
Published: May 2017

This first book engendering the PRC high politics narrates a hidden history of socialist state formation in which feminists in the CCP operated in a politics of concealment in order to enact their feminist visions of a socialist stateand to launch a feminist revolutiontransforming a patriarchal culture. Analyzing archival sourcesand interviews with a double-lens of gender and class, the book illuminates a gender line of struggle in the CCP, debunks a conceptualization of a monolithic patriarchal party/state that paradoxically supported gender equality, and demonstrates state feminists’ contentions in diverse fields and fierce opposition from a male-dominated CCP leadership from the Party Central to the local government. Socialist cultural production is also examined to demonstrate how feminist leaders consciously created a new paradigm of visual representation of heroines and continued a New Culture anti-patriarchy heritage in socialist film production. The feminist endeavors in the cultural realm aiming to transform gender and class hierarchies are discussedin conjunction with an examination of the dense entanglements among those in the top echelon of the Party and an analysis of how the politicalbeing saturated withthe personal dynamics. Discussing the causes for failure of China’s socialist revolution, the book raises fundamental questions about male dominance in social movements and political revolutions that aim to pursue social justice and equality. The book also scrutinizes post-socialist knowledge production that has operated in a politics of erasure of a history of socialist state feminism.
Stubborn hiccups as a sign of massive apoplexy in a naive acromegaly patient with pituitary macroadenoma
Authors: Simsek Bagir Gulay , Civi Soner , Kardes Ozgur , Kayaselcuk Fazilet , Ertorer Melek Eda
Published: May 2017

Pituitary apoplexy (PA) may very rarely present with hiccups. A 32-year-old man with classical acromegaloid features was admitted with headache, nausea, vomiting and stubborn hiccups. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated apoplexy of a macroadenoma with suprasellar extension abutting the optic chiasm. Plasma growth hormone (GH) levels exhibited suppression (below <1 ng/mL) at all time points during GH suppression test with 75 g oral glucose. After treatment with corticosteroid agents, he underwent transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and hiccups disappeared postoperatively. The GH secretion potential of the tumor was clearly demonstrated immunohistochemically. We conclude that stubborn hiccups in a patient with a pituitary macroadenoma may be a sign of massive apoplexy that may result in hormonal remission.

Learning points:

Patients with pituitary apoplexy may rarely present with hiccups.

Stubborn hiccupping may be a sign of generalized infarction of a large tumor irritating the midbrain.

Infarction can be so massive that it may cause cessation of hormonal overproduction and result in remission.
Glucocorticoid-responsive lymphocytic parathyroiditis and hypocalciuric hypercalcemia due to autoantibodies against the calcium-sensing receptor: a case report and literature review
Authors: Song Li , Liu Liping , Miller R Tyler , Yan Shirley X , Jackson Nancy , Holt Shelby A , Maalouf Naim M
Published: May 2017

Objective

Autoimmune lymphocytic parathyroiditis and acquired hypocalciuric hypercalcemia associated with autoantibodies against the calcium-sensing receptor (anti-CaSR) are rare and poorly understood conditions. Here, we describe a patient with acquired parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent hypercalcemia with associated hypocalciuria, found to have true lymphocytic parathyroiditis on histopathology, and circulating anti-CaSR antibodies in serum.

Design and methods

A 64-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for persistent hypercalcemia after a subtotal parathyroidectomy. She was normocalcemic until the age of 63 years when she was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. She underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy with appropriate intraoperative PTH decline. Two weeks post-parathyroidectomy, she presented with persistent hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism. Urine studies revealed an inappropriately low 24-h urine calcium (Ca)/creatinine clearance ratio. Surgical pathology was consistent with true lymphocytic parathyroiditis with lymphoid follicles. The presence of circulating anti-CaSR antibodies was detected by immunoprecipitation of CaSR by the patient’s serum. After a 4-week course of prednisone, serum Ca and PTH normalized, and her anti-CaSR titers declined. She remains normocalcemic 10 months after the discontinuation of glucocorticoid therapy. We present this patient in the context of the relevant published literature on lymphocytic parathyroiditis and acquired hypocalciuric hypercalcemia related to anti-CaSR antibodies.

Conclusions

Autoimmune lymphocytic parathyroiditis and acquired hypocalciuric hypercalcemia associated with anti-CaSR antibodies is a very rare yet important condition to be considered in a patient with acquired PTH-dependent hypercalcemia with inappropriate hypocalciuria. Although subtotal parathyroidectomy is unlikely to correct the hypercalcemia, this entity may respond to a short course of prednisone therapy.
Glucagon-induced extracellular cAMP regulates hepatic lipid metabolism

Published: May 2017

Hormonal signals help to maintain glucose and lipid homeostasis in the liver during the periods of fasting. Glucagon, a pancreas-derived hormone induced by fasting, promotes gluconeogenesis through induction of intracellular cAMP production. Glucagon also stimulates hepatic fatty acid oxidation but the underlying mechanism is poorly characterized. Here we report that following the acute induction of gluconeogenic genesGlucose 6 phosphatase(G6Pase) andPhosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase(Pepck) expression through cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB), glucagon triggers a second delayed phase of fatty acid oxidation genesAcyl-coenzyme A oxidase(Aox) andCarnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a(Cpt1a) expression via extracellular cAMP. Increase in extracellular cAMP promotes PPARα activity through direct phosphorylation by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), while inhibition of cAMP efflux greatly attenuatesAoxandCpt1aexpression. Importantly, cAMP injection improves lipid homeostasis in fasted mice and obese mice, while inhibition of cAMP efflux deteriorates hepatic steatosis in fasted mice. Collectively, our results demonstrate the vital role of glucagon-stimulated extracellular cAMP in the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism through AMPK-mediated PPARα activation. Therefore, strategies to improve cAMP efflux could serve as potential new tools to prevent obesity-associated hepatic steatosis.

The management of patients with aortic dissection is challenging and its treatment is an area of development and innovation. Conventional surgical techniques are associated with significant risks in terms of mortality and morbidity in such high-risk patients. As a result of cumulative advances in technology, classical surgical techniques have been improved and enhanced by the newer endovascular approaches, leading to novel surgical hybrid procedures. Impressive early results have been seen with frozen elephant techniques, revascularisation of the supra-aortic branches and branched/fenestrated thoracic endovascular aortic repair-alone procedures. This review describes the techniques involved in the latest hybrid procedures for aortic dissection and their outcomes.

Patients with diabetes have poor outcomes compared to the general patient population when undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The Cre8™ (Alvimedica) drug-eluting stent (DES) has unique features that may improve clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes. These include abluminal reservoir technology, a proprietary polymer-free drug-release system consisting of reservoirs on the stent’s outer surface that control and direct drug release exclusively towards the vessel wall, and the Amphilimus™ formulation, which enables enhanced drug tissue permeation, utilising fatty acid transport pathways. This is particularly advantageous in diabetic patients, since increased uptake of fatty acid occurs in diabetic cells. Furthermore, mTOR inhibitors (-limus drugs), which are utilised in DESs, are relatively ineffective in diabetic cells. Clinical efficacy and safety of the Cre8™ in patients with diabetes has been demonstrated in a number of clinical trials and real-world studies, and further studies are on-going.
Need for Embolic Protection During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: An Interventionalist’s Perspective on Histopathology Findings

Published: May 2017

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a less invasive aortic valve replacement technique and is indicated for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and a high operative risk. Cerebral embolisation seems inherent to TAVI, as illustrated by the consistent appearance of new brain lesions on post-procedural MRI studies. Embolic protection devices may capture or deflect embolised material en route to the brain and thus reduce TAVI-related brain injury. Histopathology studies of captured debris revealed a diverse aetiology including recent or organised thrombotic material, tissue originating from the aortic valve, atherosclerotic plaques or myocardium and foreign body components. In this overview we provide a perspective on current evidence and implications for embolic protection devices in the dynamic TAVI field.

Surgical treatment is the gold standard treatment of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) but this carries high risks of morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous procedures are an attractive alternative to surgery for selected patients deemed to be high-risk surgical candidates. A number of tricuspid transcatheter devices have been developed to treat FTR, but at present, evidence of their efficacy and safety is scarce. Preliminary data have shown promising results, but ongoing and future studies will provide a clearer picture of the benefits of these new techniques.

The longitudinal association between anxiety and Internet addiction in adolescence: The moderating effect of classroom extraversion
Authors: Stavropoulos Vasileios , Gomez Rapson , Steen Eloisa , Beard Charlotte , Liew Lucas , Griffiths Mark D.
Published: May 2017

Background and aims

The risk effect of anxiety on addictive behaviors, including Internet addiction (IA), has repeatedly been highlighted in the international literature. However, there is a lack of longitudinal studies examining this association in relation to proximal context effects, particularly in adolescence. Such findings would shed light on potential age- and proximal context-related variations in the anxiety–IA association that could better inform IA prevention and intervention initiatives.

Methods

In this study, 648 adolescents, embedded in 34 classrooms, were assessed at the age of 16 and again at the age of 18 to examine the effect of anxiety on IA behaviors in relation to the average level of classroom extraversion. IA was assessed with the Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1998), anxiety with the relevant subscale of the Symptom Checklist 90 – Revised (Derogatis & Savitz, 1999) and classroom extraversion with the synonymous subscale of the Five Factor Questionnaire (Asendorpf & van Aken, 2003). A three-level hierarchical linear model was calculated.

Results

The present findings demonstrated that: (a) higher levels of anxiety were significantly associated with higher IA behaviors, (b) the strength of this association did not vary over time (between 16 and 18 years old), and (c) however, it tended to weaken within classrooms higher in extraversion.

Discussion

This study indicated that the contribution of individual IA risk factors might differently unfold within different contexts.
A NEW APPROACH OF SCALE INVARIANCE FOR COMPLEX SYSTEM AND APPLICATION IN POWER LINE COMMUNICATION MODELLING
Authors: Tinh Le Thi Minh , Retiere Nicolas , Quang Nguyen Dinh
Published: May 2017

In the context of the incessant development of sustainable energy and ICT (Information and Communications technology) in power systems, power system becomes more and more intelligent, efficient and economic. However, using electrical infrastructure carrying information communication causes complexities in modeling and simulating. To overcome the problem of modeling, a new approach based on scale invariance theory, scale invariance, is presented in many papers and in various fields. Scale invariance method shows a strong link between a network topology and its performances through a coefficient exponent. In this paper we propose to use this method for modeling power line communication by considering only the input impedance of system. This approach will be tested for not only a general case study but also for an opened circuit without attenuation and bruit. The result is compared with the classical method.

Using culture - independent technique, hypervariable V4 region of 16S rDNA library sequencing by MiSEq, the baterial communities of three host sponges Rhabdastrella sp. DN, Spheciospongia sp. QT and Clathria sp. NT from Mien Trung sea were characterized. The phylogenetic analysis showed that bacterial community structures of the three investigated sponges similar to each other regarding 10 common phyla, although abundance of these phyla was different for each sponge. Phylum Thaumarchaeota was rich component for three sponges, especially in NT sponge (31.89%). In this sponge, 3 phyla Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia and Firmicutes were undetected in other 2 sponge samples. Phyla Cyanobacteria was observed only in DN sponge. The obtained amplicons were assigned in different taxonomic levels (class, order, family and genus) based on Silva database. At class level, Gammaproteobacteria was abundant in three sponges; and  Caldilineae, Marine-group I were dominant in DN; mealwile, in QT other dominant classes were Marine-group I and Betaproteobacteria. For NT, they were Cytophaga and Deferribacteres. In general, all three sponges harbored abundant and genetically diverse microbial associated consortia and they shared several common bacterial operational taxonomic units, although with different abundance.

Capital Taxation with Heterogeneous Discounting and Collateralized Borrowing
Authors: Vardoulakis Alexandros P. , Biljanovska Nina
Published: May 2017

We study optimal long-run capital taxation in a closed economy with heterogeneity in agents' time-discount factors where borrowing is allowed but restricted by a collateral constraint. Financial frictions distort intertemporal optimization margins and the tax system serves a dual role: first, it is used to finance government consumption; second, it serves to alleviate the distortions arising from the binding collateral constraint. The discrepancy between the private and the social discount factors pushes for a subsidy on capital, while the discrepancy introduced by the collateral constraint pushes for a tax in the long-run. When consumption smoothing motives are muted, the two effects counter-balance each other and the tax is zero. With finite elasticity of intertemporal substitution, the second discrepancy dominates and the tax on capital income is positive in the long-run.

EDUCACIÓN CÍVICA Y CIVILIDAD: UNA TENSIÓN MÁS ALLÁ DE LOS TÉRMINOS
Authors: Valencia González Gloria Clemencia , Cañón Flórez Lilia , Molina Rodríguez Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2017

La política educativa en Colombia ha insistido en la urgencia de una formación ciudadana, en sus marcos, parámetrosy contenidos mínimos. Las prácticas educativas resultantes demandan preguntar si, con la relevancia de una educaciónciudadana, se ha generado la atmósfera necesaria para la emergencia de una civilidad que trascienda la prescripciónenseñada. La concepción de civilidad ha variado: con el paso de barbarie a civilización, el concepto se transforma endenominación de trato agradable de conformidad con lo esperado, y con la Ilustración se constituye en elemento dela esfera de lo público. Una acepción contemporánea refuerza el sentido de justicia y de pertenencia. La civilidad nose agota en el abordaje semántico. Si la civilidad no emerge como emancipación política para la construcción de lopúblico, la educación cívica mantendrá su carácter prescriptivo y la formación ciudadana su carácter instruccional.Este artículo forma parte de la investigación “Educación superior y formación ciudadana, caso Bogotá”. Se componede tres apartados: conceptualizaciones y tránsitos de términos, conceptos y relaciones; realizaciones de educacióncívica y ciudadana en Colombia; y un recorrido entre las tensiones: la civilidad como emergencia de la función crítica y comotarea política
LA CONQUISTA DE SER SUJETO: VOCACIÓN ONTOLÓGICA, CONCIENCIA CRÍTICA Y PROYECTO**
Authors: Prada Manuel Alejandro
Published: May 2017

Este artículo propone una lectura del sujeto construida por Paulo Freire a partir de tres ideas: 1) Ser sujeto es una vocación ontológica a ser más; por ende, no es un destino prefijado, ni una condición innata, sino una lucha por su conquista. 2) Esa lucha exige un posicionamiento crítico del sujeto en el mundo y en la historia; dicho posicionamiento supone, para Freire, una construcción epistémica sobre la manera en que pensamos (comprendemos, estudiamos, criticamos) el mundo y actuamos en él. 3) El posicionamiento crítico del sujeto respecto a su mundo implica una posturaético–política, una proposición de un mundo en el que sea posible una vida humanizada y humanizadora.

Se trata, particularmente, de sus conceptos de libertad, autonomía y ética –este último retoma en sus trabajos el nombre de educabilidad–. Dichos conceptos, inherentes al momento filosófico, muestran el carácter reflexivo de la pedagogía en Meirieu, permiten comprender un ejercicio crítico respecto de su dimensión positiva y describen un modo de pensamiento potente en su propio proceso de formación como pedagogo.
La constitución de las Culturas Pedagógicas Modernas: Una aproximación conceptual
Authors: Noguera Ramírez Carlos Ernesto
Published: May 2017

El artículo parte de la tesis según la cual la constitución de la llamada ";Pedagogía Moderna"; corresponde en realidad a la instauración, durante el siglo XIX, de tres tradiciones intelectuales en cuyo centro es posible identificar problemáticas o conceptos particulares propios de sus ambientes culturales: el francófono, el germánico y el anglosajón. Así, las aproximaciones a la educación para la tradición francófona, a la Building o formación para la tradición germánica y al currículo para la tradición anglosajona, quedan esbozadas aquí a manera de una ‘cartografía conceptual’ de lo que podría llamarse las Culturas Pedagógicas Modernas.

POSIBILIDADES DE RE-PENSAR LA ENSEÑANZA DE LO VIVO Y LA VIDA EN LA ESCUELA: UNA LECTURA EN CLAVE DE LA ESTÉTICA Y LA FORMACIÓN DE MAESTROS DE BIOLOGÍA
Authors: Jaramillo Sánchez Claudia , Serrato Rodríguez Deysi
Published: May 2017

El presente escrito da cuenta de algunos hallazgos que conciernen a dos investigaciones[1]cuyo punto de cruce singular se teje en la problematización de la enseñanza de lo vivo y la vida en la escuela, en clave de lectura de las relaciones entre la estética y la formación de maestros de biología, como una de las condiciones que posibilita preguntarse por las relaciones que el sujeto establece frente al mundo desde matices de sensibilidad, belleza, armonía y contemplación, lo cual no es reductible a lo emocional y/o afectivo. Estas investigaciones se fundamentan a la luz de la mirada arqueológica-genealógica como posibilidad de visibilizar y poner en cuestión los hallazgos alusivos a ciertas prácticas en relación con lo vivo, la vida y su enseñanza en dos momentos históricos distintos que refieren a los años 1930-1940 y 2000-2012.[1]Las dos investigaciones se constituyen en trabajos de grado desarrollados en el marco de la Licenciatura en Biología y la Especialización en Pedagogía de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. La primera lleva como título “FORMAS Y FUERZAS DE LA EXPERIENCIA ESTÉTICA: PINCELADAS, MATICES Y POSIBILIDADES EN LA FORMACIÓN DE MAESTROS DE BIOLOGÍA DE LA UNIVERSIDAD PEDAGÓGICA NACIONAL.” y la segunda se denomina “PRÁCTICAS DISCURSIVAS A PROPÓSITO DE LA BOTÁNICA COMO SABER ESCOLAR ENTRE 1930 Y 1940”

Este estudio forma parte de la investigación para una tesis, la meta Cuyo fue analizar las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) a través del uso de software Hagáquê (HQ) en la educación y el aprendizaje de la educación ambiental. Esta encuesta se llevó a cabo de una manera multidisciplinar en una escuela del Programa Integral de Educación de la Secretaría de Educación del Estado de São Paulo (VER / SP), con sede en Sorocaba / SP, Brasil. Los sujetos del estudio fueron 30 alumnos (as) de la Enseñanza Fundamental II (de 6º a 9º grado). Las herramientas metodológicas utilizadas fueron: análisis de documentos, observaciones de clases, el análisis de las historias producidas por los estudiantes y un cuestionario administrado al final de curso electivo. Las actividades se llevaron a cabo de una manera multidisciplinar y interdisciplinar, mediante la construcción de historias con temas ambientales, con diseños hechos a mano, manuscritos y digitalizada en el software Hagáquê (HQ). Esperamos que esta investigación colaboran para las reflexiones sobre el uso de las herramientas tecnológicas en el aula para ayudar en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje y la educación ambiental.

ESTUDIO DE LA IMAGEN DE CIENCIA EN ESTUDIANTES DE SECUNDARIA A TRAVÉS DE SU INTERACCIÓN CON UNA ESTRATEGIA DIDÁCTICA MEDIADA POR UN VIDEOJUEGO, EN TORNO AL CONCEPTO DE HUMEDAL
Authors: Abella Susana
Published: May 2017

La naturaleza de las ciencias (NOS) es una metaciencia que articula la epistemología, la historia y  la sociología de las ciencias con el fin de contribuir a la reflexión sobre la imagen de ciencia desde cuestiones sociales que se genera en la educación, se retroalimenta con la didáctica de las ciencias para transformar la forma de enseñarla (Aduriz, 2005a). De allí surge un interés por averiguar los conceptos epistémicos respecto a la imagen de ciencias que manejan los estudiantes de grado noveno y ampliarlos desde la representación de algunas situaciones sociales e históricas que marcan la transformación de los humedales de Bogotá, mediante el diseño y aplicación de una unidad didáctica que incluye como actividad central un videojuego, para analizar a partir de las habilidades cognitivolingüísticas planteadas por Jorba (2000), si se da una aproximación a una visión más socio científica. Por lo anterior, que los resultados pretendan llegar a reconocer en el lenguaje escrito y sustentado por el lenguaje oral de los educandos, nuevos valores epistémicos de la concepción humedal y allí se identifican razones significativas al hacerles ver que las nuevas ideas están ‘justificadas’ por la realidad tomada desde diversas percepciones, idea apoyada por De Longhi (2007).
