Archaeology of Mexico City: new studies in the study of the history of the ancient Aztecs
Authors: Baglay Valentina
Published: January 2022

The article presents an overview of archaeological discoveries in Mexico City over the past few years. The research, which is carried out primarily by Mexican scientists, is based on both traditional methods of archaeology and the capabilities of modern science, in particular, electroresistive tomography and geophysics. The article uses primary data and their inclusion in the history of archaeological research in Mexico City is still ahead. Despite the preliminary nature of the assessments of these archaeological data, they allow not only to clarify the established ideas based on the many decades of work of archaeologists, but also to take them into account when further studying the past of the Aztecs and their capital Mexico City-Tenochtitlan. The paper presents the materials of recent excavations in the area of the Main Temple (Mexico City proper) and Greater Mexico City (the ancient territory around Lake Texcoco). In the center of Mexico City, archaeologists have discovered the remains of the room in which the Spaniards were, who first found themselves in the Aztec capital, fragments of pre-Hispanic stone basreliefs. It is also a find of the Great (Great) Tsompantli (traditional construction of skulls). The excavations of the Great Cuaushikalco as part of the ritual and sacred space and the ancient objects associated with it can be considered noteworthy. In the Greater Mexico City area, there are ongoing studies of an artificial tunnel, a cave (a symbol of the entrance to the world of the dead) inside the famous pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan. Here, on the territory of the ancient valley of Mexico, the study of the Preclassic period of its history continues (archaeological surveys in Zacatenco and Tlalpan with the oldest burials of unusual cone-shaped graves and intentional spiral arrangement of bodies). The post-classical period (the Aztec era) was enriched by excavations of salt mining sites, etc. The article notes that the new archaeological data generally confirm the well-known features of the Aztec society, without justifying, but also without belittling its own importance in world history and culture.

The impact-echo method is a resonant technique, which is based on using a short duration mechanical impact to generate stress waves and a transducer to monitor the surface displacement due to the arrival of direct and reflected stress waves. The impact-echo method controls concrete building structures, which the measured thickness H is at least six times smaller than other dimensions, and does not control compact samples, which the thickness H is comparable to other dimensions. The problem of compact objects control is that on the spectrum of a compact sample it is impossible to clearly determine the resonance frequency f0 ~ 1/Н against the background of numerous closely spaced frequency peaks. Another reason is that due to the strong influence of the geometric factor in compact samples, a geometric correction factor β is require to calculated for each new compact object. The article proposes a solution of these problems by using the multiplicative impact-echo method and various variants of the correlation impact-echo method.

Integrating RTI service with primary health care
Authors:   Population Council
Published: January 2022

The reproductive health (RH) movement worldwide has brought reproductive tract infections (RTIs) under sharp focus as an urgent health need of women. While RTIs are preventable or treatable, they are often the cause of infertility, ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer, fetal loss, low birth-weight infants, infant blindness, and neonatal pneumonia. The adverse health effects of RTIs, particularly STIs, is much higher for women than men. Recent research has demonstrated that RTIs are closely linked to other areas of health care like family planning (FP), safe motherhood, child survival, and HIV prevention. Hence, each could significantly contribute to the reduction and control of RTIs. The challenge is how to integrate RTI/STI control and prevention into existing health initiatives. The State Innovations in Family Planning Services Project Agency and the district health authorities conducted operations research to strengthen the public health sector by improving access to and quality of RH services, as detailed in this update on the OR Project in Uttar Pradesh, India.
Advances and challenges in postabortion care operations research: Summary report of a global meeting
Authors: Huntington Dale
Published: January 2022

The Global Meeting on Postabortion Care: Advances and Challenges in Operations Research was held at the Population Council’s New York office on January 19–21, 1998, to review progress made by three regional operations research (OR) projects in improving delivery of postabortion care. The resources of the three OR contracts were pooled, and, in collaboration with Ipas and the Ebert Program, approximately 65 researchers, senior program managers, and government officials from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia were convened. Three objectives guided the planning of the meeting: review progress in the development of OR methodologies pertaining to postabortion care, identify elements in the design of new postabortion care services, and suggest future areas for postabortion care OR. The meeting was organized around the presentation of 20 papers distributed to all participants several weeks earlier. Discussants presented critical syntheses of the papers and indicated directions for future OR studies. This report presents a summary overview of the principal themes and key points drawn from the papers and discussions, organized according to the theme of each session.

Der Wandel des regulativen Mehrebenensystems der EU
Authors: Jachtenfuchs Markus
Published: January 2022

Das europäische Mehrebenensystem wird weithin durch eine spezifische Arbeitsteilung charakterisiert, wonach die europäische Ebene stark im Bereich Pareto-optimierender und eher unpolitischer Marktregulierung sei, den Mitgliedstaaten dagegen die klassischen Staatsaufgaben wie Sicherheit, Besteuerung oder Bildung vorbehalten blieben, die tief in individuelle Belange eingreifen. Der Beitrag zeigt anhand der inneren Sicherheit und der Steuerpolitik, dass sich die EU im Gegensatz zu diesem Standardmodell nicht auf Marktregulierung beschränkt, sondern auch staatliche Kernaufgaben intensiv reguliert. Ursache hierfür sind externe Effekte der Schaffung des gemeinsamen Binnenmarktes und das Fehlen eigenständiger Handlungsmittel in diesen Bereichen, das durch Regulierung kompensiert wird. Durch den vorherrschenden Modus der Regulierung bleiben die Eingriffe der EU aber weithin unsichtbar.
Zivilgesellschaft und Demokratie in Zeiten des gesellschaftlichen Wandels
Authors: Zimmer Annette
Published: January 2022

Die Demokratie als zentrales Thema der Politikwissenschaft ist prominent zurück auf der Forschungsagenda. Zugleich haben sich bürgerschaftliches Engagement und Zivilgesellschaft zu wichtigen Bereichen sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung entwickelt. Bisher verlaufen die Diskurse zu Demokratie, Zivilgesellschaft und bürgerschaftlichem Engagement jedoch weitgehend getrennt voneinander. Hier setzt der folgende Beitrag an, der den Nexus zwischen Zivilgesellschaft, Engagement und Demokratie thematisiert. Es wird zunächst ein knapper Überblick über die Demokratieforschung geben; daran anschließend wird auf die Konzeptualisierung von Zivilgesellschaft und bürgerschaftlichem Engagement eingegangen. Unter Bezugnahme auf die „Models of Democracy“ werden unterschiedliche Muster der Einbindung zivilgesellschaftlicher Organisationen in demokratische Gemeinwesen charakterisiert, um ihre Zukunftsfähigkeit im Zeichen gesellschaftlichen Wandels und vor dem Hintergrund von Globalisierung und Europäisierung zu prüfen.
Der kommunale Gesamtabschluss: Ist die Konzernrechnungslegung nach HGB eine sinnvolle Referenz?
Authors: Kiaman Oliver
Published: January 2022

Mit Umstellung der Rechnungslegung von Kommunen auf die kommunale Doppik rückt zunehmend auch der mit dem Konzernabschluss von Unternehmen vergleichbare Gesamtabschluss in den Fokus. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht angesichts der engen Anlehnung vieler Gemeindeordnungen an das HGB, inwieweit die dortigen Zwecke des Konzernabschlusses auch solche des Gesamtabschlusses sind und ob folglich die einschlägigen Regeln zu einer sinnvollen Anwendung gelangen können. Es zeigt sich jedoch, dass die Abbildung von kommunaler und unternehmerischer Tätigkeit aufgrund abweichender Aufgaben und Ziele kaum mittels identischer Rechnungslegungsvorschriften gelingen und bereits auf Ebene der Einzelabschlüsse zu fragwürdigen Ergebnissen führen kann. Dieser systemimmanente Mangel lässt sich zwangsläufig nicht durch Erstellung eines Gesamtabschlusses kompensieren, sondern verschärft sich dabei. Der Gesamtabschluss erreicht insofern nicht die gleiche Informationsqualität wie der Konzernabschluss von Unternehmen. Daher werden Vorschläge erarbeitet, wie die Besonderheiten der kommunalen Tätigkeit stärker Berücksichtigung finden können und aus dieser Perspektive heraus das mit Bilanzen verbundene Rechnungsziel sowie der Periodenerfolg im „Konzern Kommune“ konkretisiert.
Systematisation of experiences within the framework of the pedagogical approach towards territorial development: a contribution to action research from the Latin American tradition
Authors: Costamagna Pablo , Spinelli Eleonora
Published: January 2022

This article attempts to link different approaches to action research by sharing a concept that holds an important place in the processes related to participatory action research in Latin America. Such a concept is systematisation. In Latin America, the framework of the systematisation of experiences indicates that it is a particular research method generated from popular education and social work, and that it shares its commitments regarding social transformation. Systematisation arises as a proposal that is based on and learns from accumulated experiences, along with new forms of participatory research and evaluation. Thus, one of the ever-present challenges is to define knowledge production methodologies appropriate to the way of thinking and acting of those who depart from practice, from action (Centro de Estudios para la Educación Popular CEPEP, 2010). Within this framework, the concept of systematisation and its challenges in the specific context of territorial development in Argentina are addressed in order to integrate new learning into action research debates, not only in Latin America, but also outside its boundaries. To this purpose, we rely on the lessons learned by a team from the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN) from Argentina based in Rafaela (Santa Fe, Argentina) working for the Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales Praxis. This team has been interacting with action research teams from the Basque Country (Spain) and the University of Agder (Norway), a space where the systematisation of experiences has emerged as a relevant and unknown methodological element in the aforementioned European contexts.

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a form of primary immunodeficiency disease (PID). It is characterized by a serious abnormality of the cellular and sometimes humoral system due to a deficiency in development of T cells, B cells and/or NK cells. The early diagnosis of SCID improves the prognosis. Typically, the initial consideration of SCID is made based on low lymphocyte counts. Notwithstanding, the heterogeneity of lymphocyte count presentation makes the diagnosis of SCID a significant challenge. The objective of this cross-sectional retrospective study was to analyze the lymphocyte subpopulation counts along with clinical manifestations within a Moroccan cohort diagnosed as SCID compared to children diagnosed with non-PID diseases. Thirty-five SCID confirmed patients were selected in the period between 2008 and 2018 and compared with non-PID patients. Results of peripheral blood T, B, and NK lymphocyte subpopulation counts were measured by flow cytometry for each SCID subtype. As expected, T cell count was less than 300 cells/μL in most patients with SCID (85.5%). Unexpectedly, significantly higher T cell counts were detected in some patients with a confirmed clinical diagnosis and family history of SCID. 5.7% of our SCID Moroccan cohort had T cell numbers in the range between 300 and 500 cells/μL. 8.7% of our SCID Moroccan cohort had T cell numbers higher than 500 cells/μL. Of the SCID subtypes, the proportion of SCID with B cell deficiencies was highly represented in our cohort. 71.4% of Moroccan SCID patients (25 out of 35 patients) were of T-B-subtype. Furthermore, 40% of the patients (14 out of 35 patients) had a T-B-NK+ profile and 31.4% had a T-B-NK- profile (11 out of 35 patients). The most common clinical manifestations observed in our SCID cohort were pneumonia, failure to thrive, candidiasis, diarrhea, bronchitis and urinary tract infections. Our results not only highlight the relatively frequent presence of atypical SCID in the Moroccan population with unexpectedly high T cell numbers, but also describes the incidence pattern of common SCID subtypes in Morocco. Physicians in Morocco may find this local region-specific difference in SCID important for making improved early diagnosis of this disease.
Economic Burden of Dementia Caused by Cardiovascular Disease in Australia
Authors: Gao Lan , Nguyen Dieu , Moodie Marj
Published: January 2022

Background: The established link between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and dementia may provide new insights into dementia prevention. Objective: It aims to quantify the burden of dementia attributable to people with CVD. Methods: A Markov microsimulation model was developed to simulate the lifetime cost and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) related to people with and without CVD in Australia. A de-novo systematic review was undertaken to identify all evidence around the association between CVD [i.e., stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure (HF)] and the risk of developing dementia. Incremental costs and QALY losses were estimated for people by type of CVD compared to the general Australian population without CVD. Results: Of the comprehensive literature search, 19 observational studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Patients who had CVD incurred both higher healthcare costs over their lifetime (ranging from $73,131 for patients with AF to $127,396 for patients with HF) and fewer QALYs gains (from –1.099 for patients with MI to –5.163 for patients with stroke), compared to people who did not have CVD. The total incremental economic burden of dementia from patients aged 65 years and over with CVD was $6.45 billion (stroke), $11.89 billion (AF), $17.57 billion (MI), or $7.95 billion (HF) over their remaining life expectancy. Conclusion: The results highlighted the importance of CVD prevention to reduce the CVD burden and decrease the prevalence of dementia. Interventions that target patients with dementia risk factors like CVD may prove to be effective and cost-effective strategies.
Robust query processing for linked data fragments
Authors: Heling Lars , Acosta Maribel
Published: January 2022

Linked Data Fragments (LDFs) refer to interfaces that allow for publishing and querying Knowledge Graphs on the Web. These interfaces primarily differ in their expressivity and allow for exploring different trade-offs when balancing the workload between clients and servers in decentralized SPARQL query processing. To devise efficient query plans, clients typically rely on heuristics that leverage the metadata provided by the LDF interface, since obtaining fine-grained statistics from remote sources is a challenging task. However, these heuristics are prone to potential estimation errors based on the metadata which can lead to inefficient query executions with a high number of requests, large amounts of data transferred, and, consequently, excessive execution times. In this work, we investigate robust query processing techniques for Linked Data Fragment clients to address these challenges. We first focus on robust plan selection by proposing CROP, a query plan optimizer that explores the cost and robustness of alternative query plans. Then, we address robust query execution by proposing a new class of adaptive operators: Polymorphic Join Operators. These operators adapt their join strategy in response to possible cardinality estimation errors. The results of our first experimental study show that CROP outperforms state-of-the-art clients by exploring alternative plans based on their cost and robustness. In our second experimental study, we investigate how different planning approaches can benefit from polymorphic join operators and find that they enable more efficient query execution in the majority of cases.
A strategy for archives metadata representation on CIDOC-CRM and knowledge discovery
Authors: Melo Dora , Rodrigues Irene Pimenta , Varagnolo Davide
Published: January 2022

This paper presents a strategy for the semantic migration of Portuguese National Archives records into CIDOC-CRM standard, an ontology developed for museums, within the context of the EPISA project. The approach to automatically populate the CIDOC-CRM is based on Mapping Description Rules to semantically translate the archives descriptive information into CIDOC-CRM representation. The compliance of the CIDOC-CRM model recommendations guarantees that the populated CIDOC-CRM ontology of archives descriptive information verifies interoperability, and could be linked and integrated with other populated CIDOC-CRM ontologies. In the information modelling, requirements on the mapping representation, due to the intent of interpreting natural language text to automatically extract information of metadata text fields and to interpret natural language queries, are taken into account. To automatically interpret the Mapping Description Rules, OWL API was used to obtain the set of assertions that represents the information in the target ontology and two datasets are available with some migration examples. The exploration of the knowledge representation is done through some Description Logic queries to highlight the advantages of having this new representation of the National Archives. The evaluation of the resulting representation can be done automatically proving its correctness for the metadata that has a direct representation in CIDOC-CRM.

Authors: Ahmadi Fereshteh , Zandi Saeid , Cetrez Önver A. , Akhavan Sharareh
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic changed the academic world in various ways, and most universities are still closed and continue operating via teleworking. OBJECTIVE: This study is intended to investigate how university faculty/staff and students in Sweden have coped with the lockdown and working/studying from home during the pandemic. METHODS: A survey was conducted among 277 women and men working and studying at different universities in Sweden. RESULTS: The results indicate that most (61%) respondents were very or somewhat satisfied with the current work-from-home arrangement. Additionally, they indicate that, overall, almost 30% were working more than usual due to the pandemic and teleworking. The coping methods having the highest impact on overall job satisfaction were: “thinking about what I can do rather than what I can’t do”; “being able to access medical resources and medical services if I need to seek help”; and “having trust in state or health authorities in my country.” CONCLUSIONS: The study reveals that Sweden can serve as a good example of how university faculty/staff and students can address the occupational challenges caused by a health pandemic and possible subsequent quarantines.
Telework during the COVID-19 pandemic: Ergonomic and psychosocial risks among Brazilian labor justice workers
Authors: El Kadri Filho Fauzi , Roberto de Lucca Sérgio
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: The imposition of telework by the COVID-19 pandemic represented a challenge for companies and workers with regard to the management and organization of the workplace at home. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the ergonomic risks, psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal symptoms as well as the relationships between these variables in employees of a Brazilian labor judiciary unit. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 55 employees who had their workstations evaluated by means of the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA-Br) and answered a questionnaire of sociodemographic and occupational characterization, the dimensions of workstation and posture of the Maastricht Upper Extremity Questionnaire (MUEQ-Br-revised), the short version of the Job Stress Scale and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). RESULTS: The workstations evaluations by ROSA-Br and MUEQ-Br-revised showed a strong correlation between themselves and to body posture, but they were not related to the occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms. Body posture and demands were correlated to each other and with to occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms. Shoulders, neck and wrists / hands were the most affected body regions. CONCLUSIONS: Companies that adopt teleworking for their employees must be aware of working conditions at home, including the workload, and offer adequate support in order to prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems.
The role of at home workstation ergonomics and gender on musculoskeletal pain
Authors: MacLean Kathleen F.E. , Neyedli Heather F. , Dewis Colleen , Frayne Ryan J.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: The recent mandate for university faculty and staff to work-from-home (WFH) during the COVID-19 pandemic has forced employees to work with sub-optimal ergonomic workstations that may change their musculoskeletal discomfort and pain. As women report more work-related musculoskeletal discomfort (WMSD), this effect may be exacerbated in women. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe university employee at-home office workstations, and explore if at-home workstation design mediates the effect of gender on musculoskeletal pain. METHODS: University employees completed a survey that focused on the WFH environment, at home workstation design and musculoskeletal pain. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to analyze the responses. RESULTS: 61% of respondents reported an increase in musculoskeletal pain, with the neck, shoulders and lower back being reported most frequently. Women reported significantly greater musculoskeletal pain, but this relationship was significantly mediated by poor ergonomic design of the home workstation. Improper seat-height and monitor distance were statistically associated with total-body WMSD. CONCLUSIONS: WFH has worsened employee musculoskeletal health and the ergonomic gap between women and men in the workspace has persisted in the WFH environment, with seat height and monitor distance being identified as significant predictors of discomfort/pain.

Authors: Black Nancy L. , St-Onge Samuelle
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Computer-intensive office work associations with health challenges may intensify following COVID-19 pandemic-related changes to home-based office work. OBJECTIVE: To determine working conditions, perception and physical elements affecting health after pivoting to full time home-work. METHODS: An online questionnaire addressed physical, productivity, motivation, and work-practice factors. Photos of the worker in their home-work environment showed side and front-back perspectives. RESULTS: Sixteen questionnaires were received, and 12 respondents supplied photos. Home and office workplace differences varied. Ten felt productivity was affected, most often positively. Four noted increased pain or fatigue intensity, particularly in the eyes, neck / head, lower back, and shoulders. Working posture was not optimal; six didn’t use traditional chair-sitting for up to half the day. Forward and backward trunk inclination accounted for at least 10% of the workday for 12 respondents; lateral inclination affected ten and eight had unsupported legs. Fifteen used an adjustable chair, but photos revealed ergonomic recommendations were not consistently followed. Fourteen participants communicated regularly by telephone, eight only for moderate duration and ten using adapted telephone equipment. Half of the ROSA scores were high. CONCLUSIONS: Workers forced into telework during the pandemic experience positive and negative impacts. Postures vary more than in offices, potentially increasing health risk.

BACKGROUND: Many countries adopted a complete or partial lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and various professions started to work-from-home. People who work-from-home experience constant stress which leads to burnout syndrome. Burnout can be defined as a chronic stress-induced occupational syndrome resulting in fatigue, decreased job productivity, and poor motivation towards the job. OBJECTIVE: This research work primarily focuses on exploring the prevalence of burnout syndrome among IT professionals who work-from-home and to determine the impact of burnout in different gender and age-groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Using snowball sampling method 934 IT professionals were selected based on selection criteria, explained about the study processes, and instructed to submit an online survey consist of Maslach Burnout Inventory scale (MBI) through mail, social media, or through a researcher by direct interview. RESULTS: Descriptive statistics were used to interpret the data. In 25–30 years age-group, men were affected (93%) less than women (94%) and also in 31–35 years age-group, men were affected (96%) less than women (98%). Overall burnout scores of men were 94% and women were 96%. Results indicate female IT professionals were more prone experience burnout syndrome than Male population. CONCLUSIONS: From the results, it is concluded that 95% of the IT professionals are suffering from burnout, where women are more prevalent to burnout when compared to male. It is also suggested that an early, routine and frequent assessment of physical status, mental status and burnout syndrome is essential to maintain mental health.

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of work discipline, work motivation and work environment on employee performance. The research object selected in this study is Dinas Penanaman Modal Dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu (DPMPTSP) Kota Tangerang. Data were collected through a questionnaire method that was filled out independently of 80 respondents using a random sampling method. Measurements of related variables were tested using Multiple Linear Regression analysis and using SPSS 25 software. The results of this study prove and conclude that: partially in the t test, the t-count value of work discipline is 0.844, work motivation is 3.166, work environment is 2.869 compared to the value of t-table 1,992. These results indicate that only the t-count of work discipline is less than the t-table, while work motivation and work environment exceed the t-table. These results indicate that partially work discipline does not have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, partially work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and partially the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously in the F test, the calculated F value of the model is 15.915 with a probability value of Sig. 0.000, the F-table value is 2.72. Because the value of F-count > F-table (15.915 > 2.72) and the value of Sig. < 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). This shows that work discipline, work motivation and work environment simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The results of the analysis of the coefficient of determination show that work discipline, work motivation and work environment have an influence of 36.2% on employee performance and the remaining 63.8% is explained by other variables not included in this study.Keywords: Work Discipline, Work Motivation, Work Environment and Employee Performance

Published: January 2022

Education, which is based on the integration of culture, is a key part of the learning process. The teaching material will always be part of the success of the teaching and learning process. School as an educational institution or institution is responsible for instilling multicultural education in students from an early age, which will give birth to a multi-cultural generation, so that the concept of multicultural education is very much in line with that applied in the world of education in Indonesia. The current study therefore looked at culture as a measuring instrument for the application of multiculturalism, and further explained the existence of Indonesian culture in Arabic teaching materials for grade VIII at junior high school. The method used in this research is qualitatively descriptive through the use of library research and content analysis. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the integration of Indonesian culture in Arabic textbooks at junior high school. It also seeks to look at the values of cultural diversity that are embedded in students' attitudes towards multi-cultural education, such as respect for tolerance, fairness, democracy and respect for differences. The results of this study have placed a great deal of emphasis on the achievement of cultural competence, such as the integration of multicultural educational values at the visual level, images, people's names, places, and so on. However, the placement of cultural values that are substantive does not have enough place in the Arabic textbook.

De experiencias de solidaridad a la politización en la precariedad: mujeres migrantes y organización social en tiempos de “estallido” y pandemia
Authors: Stang Alva María Fernanda
Published: January 2022

El artículo se propone describir y reflexionar sobre el modo en que, frente al “estallido social” chileno y la pandemia por Covid-19 en el país, se desplegaron experiencias reticulares de solidaridad que vinculan a migrantes, principalmente mujeres, con actores nacionales. Tales experiencias, en algunos casos, se articularon a procesos de subjetivación política de estas migrantes, intensificándolos incluso. Esas subjetivaciones políticas construyen un sujeto que se enuncia a partir de la desigualdad de clase en la formación social del capitalismo neoliberal, y la desigualdad que instituye el Estado-nación entre ciudadano y no ciudadano. Por esa razón, estos procesos son potencialmente transformadores de las ideas y prácticas ligadas a la ciudadanía. El análisis se realiza a propósito de cuatro experiencias de solidaridad organizada: dos de ellas relacionadas a redes de ayuda de trabajadoras sexuales y trabajadoras nocturnas, y otras dos surgidas en torno a luchas por la vivienda, situadas en las dos comunas del país con mayor cantidad de migrantes internacionales: Santiago y Antofagasta.

Published: January 2022

The health emergency of 2020 has led many university professors to wonder about how to check that the information presented in their lessons generates a correct conceptual representation in their students and, above all, to ask themselves if they have carried out the right training actions capable of triggering what is called deep understanding, that is a set of cognitive processes that produce durable and meaningful learning. This paper describes two experiences conducted in two different Italian universities that have been designed and implemented precisely with these objectives. The achieved results are very encouraging and could represent a starting point to reflect on the methodologies, teaching practices and tools to be used in distance and face-to-face university courses.
