Le Parti Radical National et sa presse (1930–1936)Le Parti Radical National fut fondée fin 1930 par Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky, qui venait de quitterle Parti Raciste. L’homme politique sans mandat de député, tout en conservant ses relations avecl’élite politique traditionnelle, a cherché des contacts au sein des nouvelles groupuscules anti-establishment.Cette dualité imprègne l’idéologie et la rhétorique des organes du PRN (Előörs[L’Avantgarde],Szabadság [La Liberté]). Dans mon étude, je suivrai des près la carrière personnelle deBajcsy-Zsilinszky et l’histoire du parti jusqu’à l’adhésion de ce dernier au Parti des Petits Propriétaires.Dans mon analyse j’exploiterai les publications des partis politiques en question, les mémoireset les commentaires parus en divers organes de presse. J’insisterai aussi sur l’était financierdes organes des partis politiques, de l’équipe (très composite) de collaborateurs et du rôle (ou plutotdes rôles) que le chef de parti a occupés dans la vie publique.

Lichens are a stable symbiotic association between photobiont (algae and/or cyanobacteria) and mycobiont (fungi). They are utilized in traditional medicine for ages and documented in various pharmacopeia throughout the world. India is having a rich diversity of lichen species represented by about 2400 species. The tribal inhabitant around forests and other difficult terrains acquired unique knowledge about the use of much wide flora and fauna. Most of these are either lesser known or unknown to the outside world. The treasure of traditional knowledge if subjected to scientific scrutiny could benefit humankind in many ways. They produce unique secondary metabolites through various metabolic pathways and are known to exhibit a wide array of bioactivities. We have reviewed the literature for traditional knowledge of the lichen species and biological activities reported to study its inter-relationship. It was observed that that still a major percentage of lichens have remained unexplored. These lichens may have immense potential; and if analysed could be used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic industries, and many more.

In the last years several studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to reduce the systemic inflammatory response and mortality in experimental models of sepsis. As recently found, the surface of MSCs have receptors for erythropoietin (EPO). So we hypothesized that the introduction of EPO together with MSCs may enhance their effect and improve the results of sepsis treatment.

Aim: То evaluate morphologic and immunologic effects of combined treatment with EPO and MSC in an experimental LPS sepsis model in rats.

Methods: 50 Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups: Group 1 - the healthy controls, Groups 2-5 were intraperitoneally introduced bacterial LPS 20 mg/kg. Two hours after LPS injection animals received the following intravenous treatments: Group 3 - 4xl05 allogeneic MSCs, Group 4 - 8.5 pg of recombinant EPO-beta, Group 5 - MSCs and EPO in the same doses. Surviving animals were euthanased on the 4th day. The morphological study of the liver, spleen, thymus, lungs, kidney tissues was performed. We analyzed the tissue changes, white blood cells count and serum level of IL-l, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-.

Results: Mortality in LPS groups did not differ. The highest white blood cells count was found in the group of combined treatment EPO+MSCs (8.15x106 cells/ml) compared with controls (2,15x10s cells/ml) and LPS controls (6,52x10s cells/ml). There were no differences in levels of TNF-, IL-2 and IL-6 between the groups, but serum IL-1 level in groups 2 and 4 was significantly higher than in treated with MSCs and MSCc + EPO animals. Histologically in the group 5 we observed significantly less leukocyte lung interalveolar septal infiltration and kidney tubular dystrophy. The most significant differences in group LPS + EPO were found in the lymphoid tissue - considerable hyperplasia of spleen white pulp and thymus cortex, whereas in the other groups different degrees of atrophy of the corresponding zones were noted.

Conclusions: Combined treatment with EPO and MSCs can reduce acute lung injury and kidney damage, cause hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue and enhance the immune response more than separate treatment in an experimental model of sepsis in rats.

Objetivo: Evaluar la toxicidad de tres chalconas sintéticas administradas por vía intraperitoneal en ratones BALB/c. Materiales y métodos: La dosis letal media (DL50) se estimó por el método Up-and-Down de Dixon. La toxicidad subcrónica de las chalconas se evaluó a 20 y 40 mg/kg por 21 días. Se evaluó el efecto tóxico a nivel de comportamiento, fisiológico, bioquímico e histológico. Resultados: La chalcona 43 generó moco en las heces, daño visceral (hígado) y alteración en el coeficiente de órganos (riñón, p = 0,037 y cerebro, p = 0,008) en comparación con el grupo control. Además, en el análisis histológico se observó que esta chalcona produjo edema, inflamación y necrosis en los órganos evaluados, aunque no hubo diferencia significativa con el control. Todos los parámetros bioquímicos no difirieron significativamente entre los grupos de tratamiento a dosis de 40 mg/kg y el control. Conclusiones: La DL50 para las tres chalconas fue superior a 550 mg/kg de peso corporal. Las chalconas 40 y 42 son relativamente no tóxicas. Ambas pueden considerarse seguras para la aplicación vía intraperitoneal en ratones BALB/c y, en consecuencia, son posibles candidatas para ser usadas en el tratamiento contra las leishmaniosis.

Published: October 2021

Background: Pediatric Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and its dermatological manifestation has emerged a serious burden globally including India. Dermatological manifestations are unique in pediatric HIV infection and related to CD4 cell count and its percentage. The study was carried out to assess the cutaneous manifestation of HIV positive pediatric patients and its correlation with CD4 cell count in eastern part of India below 12 years of age.Methods: This analytic epidemiological study with prospective observational design was carried among 30 HIV positive children below 12 years of age in our institution over a period of one year.Results: Total 30 HIV infected children were studied among male 23 (76.67%)) and female 7 (23.33%). Age ranged from birth to 12 years with mean was 6.39±2.48 years. The skin lesions are highest in 3-6 yrs age group 12 (40%) and 33.33% of them had CD4 counts between 500-750 while 3.33% had CD4 counts above 1500. 27 patients (90%) were received ART and 3 (10%) patients were without ART. Nine distinct patterns of lesions: abscess (3), furuncles (1), maculopapular rash (2), papular (7), pruritic (10), plaque (3), soreness of tongue (2), pustules (1) and red scaly (1) were detected. 46.67% pain (14), 40.0% itching (12) and 13.33% burning sensation (4) were the main symptoms and 20.0% face (6), 16.7% oral cavity (5), 20.0% hands (6), 10.0% abdomen (3) and 33.3% legs (10) were principal site of involvement. 13 different skin lesions: fungal infection (3), furuncles (1), urticaria (4), scabies (5), prurigo (5), measles (1), molluscum contagiosum (1), abscess (3), venous leg (1), pyoderma (1), atopic dermatitis (1), chicken pox (2) and glossitis (2) were diagnosed.Conclusions: Various dermatological manifestations are common with pediatric HIV infection and sometime are the first clinical presentation that is well correlated with CD4 cell count and its percentage.

Published: October 2021

La falla Loma Negra Oriental (FLNOr) se localiza en el frente orogénico de Precordillera Central, caracterizado por cabalgamientos de rumbo N-S y vergencia hacia el este. La misma bordea el flanco oriental del braquianticlinal de Loma Negra, un pliegue por propagación de falla que deforma las rocas neógenas y los depósitos cuaternarios en el piedemonte oriental de la Sierra de Talacasto. Las fallas de rumbo submeridional identificadas en el pliegue afectan depósitos cada vez más recientes hacia el este, lo que evidenciaría el avance de la deformación andina en esa dirección. En el sector norte de la falla Loma Negra Oriental, una exposición natural permitió determinar su cinemática y mostró depósitos asociados con eventos de desplazamiento discretos. La estructura constituye un cabalgamiento con orientación 130º, de bajo ángulo de inclinación (22° SO) que afecta unidades aluviales del Holoceno temprano (8.700 ± 1.370 años AP). Se determinó la morfología de las escarpas asociadas a esta estructura a través de perfiles topográficos de detalle transversales al rumbo de la misma. Dichos perfiles permitieron identificar dos escarpas de falla de orden métrico (entre 0,9 y 3,1 m) que sugerirían la ocurrencia de varios eventos sísmicos. La falla continuaría tanto hacia el norte como al sur como una estructura ciega (soterrada) que limitaría todo el flanco oriental del braquianticlinal con una longitud de al menos 16,5 km. Con base en la medición de las escarpas, la longitud de ruptura superficial y subsuperficial, y a un análisis paleosísmico efectuado en una exposición natural, en la que se obtuvo un desplazamiento vertical total de 0,9±0.1 m (~0,4 m para el último evento y ~0,5 m para el más antiguo) y desplazamiento cosísmico sobre el plano de la falla de ~1,16 ± 0,15 m, se sugiere la ocurrencia de dos eventos durante el Pleistoceno tardío y Holoceno. Es por ello que puede considerarse esta estructura como una potencial fuente sismogénica capaz de producir un sismo máximo de magnitud Mw >6,5 con una tasa de retorno de ~ 9.000 años. Estos datos son relevantes para la estimación del peligro sísmico de las principales obras civiles y centros poblados de la provincia de San Juan (>800.000 habitantes).
Geophysical evi-dence of the 1912 earthquake rupture along the central fault system of the Acambay Graben, Central Mexico
Authors: Lacan Pierre , Arango-Galván Claudia
Published: October 2021

In this work, we have applied two geophysical techniques in two different areas of potential interest for paleoseismological assessment of the active faults of the Acambay graben. The main goal was to localize segments of buried faults suspected to break the surface during the 1912 Acambay Earthquake, in order to (1) identify favorable sites for paleoseismological investigation purpose and (2) extrapolate the data obtained with a paleoseismic trenching. On the one hand, Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) Method was used to map the horizontal variation of the apparent resistivity in order to detect the 1912 surface rupture of the Temascalcingo fault in the alluvial plain of the Lerma River. On the other hand, within a volcanic edifice, the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) tech-nique was used to characterize the electrical resistivity distribution along a profile in or-der to detect and localize the San Pedro fault, partially buried in a Holocene sedimentary filling of a small endorheic basin. Results of these studies allow defining location and orientation of the structures that potentially broke the surface during the 1912 earthquake and are partially hidden by recent deposits filling the tectonic depressions. Good correla-tion between ERT subsurface to deep imagery of faults and a trench survey which cuts across the San Pedro fault trace, illustrate the pertinence to use such techniques for pale-oseismological investigation purpose in volcano-sedimentary environments.
Thinking with Doors and Perspectives: Reimagining Early Childhood Spaces
Authors: Rose Sherry , Stewart Kim , Gallagher Candace , Malins Pam
Published: October 2021

This paper explores, through a posthumanist lens, child care as a communal responsibility, taking into account varied partial perspectives produced through human and more-than-human intra-actions. Multiple narratives illustrate embodied and experienced complexities within child care spaces allowing us to reflect on uncomfortable truths to enact affirmative ethics as a way to transform the ways we care for children, their families, each other, and the spaces of child care. Specifically, we think with actual and virtual doors as producers and enablers to create spaces where early childhood educators might collaboratively interrogate how materiality and socially constructed hierarchies are embedded in the inequities that separate us, inequities further exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: October 2021

Inflammation, and remodeling in airways are the two crucial characteristics of asthma, a common respiratory disease. In asthma pathophysiology, the recruitment of granulocytes finally results in inflammation, leading to lung damage. In this regard, failure to clear inflammatory cells by programmed cell death, apoptosis will cause the prolongation of inflammation. On the other hand, in airway epithelial cells, apoptosis may occur, resulting in airway remodeling. Hence, dysregulation of apoptosis has been suggested to contribute to the development of asthma. Importantly, knowledge of the factors related to apoptotic cascade seems vital to explore various pharmacological interventions for the treatment of asthma. In this review, we highlight several important apoptotic and anti-apoptotic factors contributing either to inflammatory cells or airway epithelial cells involved in asthma pathogenesis.

Published: October 2021

This study was attempted to investigate the prevalence of BRAF gene mutation (V600E) in aspiration cytology of patients with suspected papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Seventy-six patients suspected of having PTC who were referred for fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy were included in this cross-sectional study. Ultrasound-guided FNA was taken from the thyroid masses, and samples were sent for cytologic evaluation. Simultaneously, the samples were sent to a genetic laboratory to check the status of BRAFV600E mutation. Patients with FNA positive for PTC were assigned in one group, and those with FNA negative for PTC were assigned to another group. Cytological and molecular results were compared with those of histopathology and sonography. The results showed that the prevalence of the BRAF gene (V600E) mutation in our study was 21.1% (16 out of 76 patients). In addition, the results showed a significant relationship between gene mutation and pathologic findings so that the highest gene mutation was significantly detected in patients with FNA positive for PTC (P=0.001). Also, our results showed a significant relationship between gene mutation and some sonographic findings (calcification, P=0.004) and no significant relation in the other sonographic findings (hypoechoic changes, P=1.12 and regular changes, P=0.194). According to the results of the present study, BRAF mutation (V600E) can be an effective indicator for definitive diagnosis and primary treatment of PTC in suspected cases.

Published: October 2021

Despite a low prevalence, salivary gland tumors (SGTs) represent a diverse set of tumors with a broad range of biological behaviors. Implementation of early detection programs has significantly improved the outcome of treatment and patients' survival. High mobility group box one protein (HMGB1) may likely be a candidate for the detection of SGTs due to its background in other human tumors. This study, for the first time, aimed to investigate the clinical value of HMGB1 in patients with benign and malignant SGTs and analyze its correlation with clinicopathologic outcomes. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the serum level of HMGB1 was measured in 85 patients with SGTs (30 benign and 55 malignant cases) and 85 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals. HMGB1 levels had a significant difference between patients with SGTs and healthy controls (2041.4±787.1 pg/ml versus 536.3±374.6 pg/ml, P<0.0001) as well as those with benign and malignant tumors (1680.1±429.7 pg/ml versus 2238.6±867.2 pg/ml, P<0.0001). The serum level of HMGB1 was associated with some clinicopathologic factors, such as the size of the main tumor, clinical stage, and the lymph node metastasis, but not with patients' gender, age as well as the site of the lesions. These results suggest that the serum level of HMGB1 has the potential to be a supportive diagnostic marker for SGTs and can provide a precise assessment of the tumor status. There is no published report regarding the serum level of HMGB1 in SGTs; therefore, further studies are warranted.

Published: October 2021

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe form of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with renal involvement. It affects the kidneys in about 50% of SLE patients. The aim of this study was to assess the evaluation of proteinuria recovery time and its related factors associated with lupus nephritis patients in Urmia-Northwest of Iran. A retrospective cohort study was carried out, in which medical records of 80 patients with systemic lupus nephritis referred to Imam Khomeini university hospital were reviewed. According to these records, the biopsy-proven renal disease has been progressed from September 2009 to September 2013. Proteinuria, less than 0.5 g/24h, was defined as proteinuria recovery. The time elapsed from the diagnosis of proteinuria to its recovery is considered as the duration of proteinuria recovery (month). The findings were analyzed by STATA11 statistical software. The mean age at diagnosis of lupus nephritis was 26.50±8.10 years (14-51 years). The mean creatinine level at the start of treatment was 1.20±0.61 mg/dl (0.5-2.80). Proteinuria recovery time was four months for 25% of patients, six months for 50% of patients (median time), and 12 months for 75% of them. The higher class of LN had a trend toward 31 % lower risk of proteinuria recovery (HR: 0.73, 95% CI 0.56-0.96; P=0.02), the expected risk is 1.94 times greater in women as compared with men (HR: 1.94, 95% CI 1.1-3.48; P=0.02). The patients in this study population respond to treatment in less time, and in comparison with other studies, their proteinuria recovers earlier. Class of lupus nephritis (negative) and gender (positive) were predictive factors of proteinuria recovery among LN patients.

The Impact of the digitalization and the policy changes on the Savings Instruments (Saving Certificates) in Bangladesh: a response from the investors.
Authors: Basak Ashish
Published: October 2021

Investment in the National Savings Certificate (NSC) has been the most popular savings instrument among the people of Bangladesh that provides guaranteed returns with tax savings. The government of Bangladesh mainly issues the NSCs to collect money from small and scattered savings of general people. It brings marginal and special populations into the Government's social safety net programs for ensuring an equitable and poverty-free society. Recently the authority has introduced automation and regulatory deterrents such as making mandatory the submission of e-TIN, national identity cards, bank accounts, cheque transactions, and increased deduction at source. My research has attempted to identify the impact of the policy changes on the investors’ minds and how they react. This study suggests that recent policy changes and the requirement for the mandatory documents to purchase NSCs have no impact on the investment decision as people still consider this is the most attractive and secures means of investment.

Timber processing industries generate enormous waste, which constitutes environmental nuisance. However, the sawdust contains several organic compounds that could actively remove heavy metal ions from an aqueous solution through the adsorption process. This study investigated the efficacy of sawdust of Albizia zygia and Gmelina arborea in removing Zinc (II) under two factors affecting adsorption, Contact time and pH. Sawdust samples were sieved through a screen size of 2.0mm, after which a portion of sawdust for each species was subject to pre-treatment by boiling while the other parts were kept as control samples (untreated). The effect of pH on the removal efficiency of the biosorbent was determined by adding 0.2g of the sawdust (treated and untreated) into six conical flasks containing the metal solution (50ppm) at different pH values. There was a significant difference in the removal efficiency of both treated and untreated samples for both species. Removal efficiency also increased with time, with maximum Zn (II) biosorption achieved at 90 minutes. Removal efficiency increased with pH and reached optimum pH of 4. Both species' maximum Zn (II) biosorption (Albizia zygia = 17.22, Gmelina arborea = 17.92) compared favourably with other biosorbent used in previous studies. From this study and based on availability, cost-effectiveness, ability to be recovered and reused, sawdust of Albizia zygia and Gmelina arborea are proven alternative adsorbents treatment of water towards ensuring that quality water is available for humans, plants, and animals.

Published: October 2021

The election of Donald Trump in 2016 signaled a definite shift in the global spread of a new nationalist, populist, racist, political Right. This sweeping trend was fuelled and is sustained by social media’s vast networks that disseminate (mis)information and efface the subject’s body by mediating reality through digital interfaces. Intensified right-wing news media and politics mutate the socio-semiotics of digital networks, rendering affective slogans that destabilize language and inform user subjectivity. Facebook re-posts and 4chan memes re-articulate refrains chanted at rallies, such as “Stop the steal,” intensifying their affective resonance and causing them to speak in and through subjects, rather than being spoken by them, engendering incorporeal transformations on bodies in the sociopolitical field. Stripped of semantic meaning and referential reality, these slogans operate through affect to produce collective phantasies that channel users’ unchecked desires. These slogans affectively interpellate users by pulling apart their individuation, weaving them into endless threads, sites, and networks that amplify and spread fascistic imaginaries of a Great America under Trump, the God-Emperor. Slogans’ affects and their resulting phantasies function as coefficients of digital networks’ innumerable connections, exponentially proliferating and catalyzing microfascisms via ever-multiplying rhizomatic connections – a sociopolitical recalibration of the Ro formula models these affective transmissions, a calculation otherwise used to measure a disease’s potential transmission among a vulnerable population. The affective intensification and spread of right-wing discourses were a prelude to the Covid-19 pandemic and function in tandem. As economic shutdowns and stay-at-home orders augment financial precarity and digitize quotidian life, media networks intensify the spread of (mis)information among susceptible users, leading to anti-mask protests, political rallies, and unsafe work environments that, in turn, increase Covid-19 cases. Right-wing media’s affective, digital contagion and the Covid-19 pandemic produce a feedback loop of transmission, mutually amplifying their Ro values as both mutate and spread.
Rast domačih živali: Sesalci in perutnina
Authors: Škorjanc Dejan
Published: October 2021

Učbenik zajema vsebine vezane na razumevanje kompleksnega procesa rasti domačih živali. Zaradi specifičnosti ločeno obravnavamo rast farmskih živali seslacev in perutnine. Biološke lastnosti rasti domačih živali so predstavljene v prenatalnem in postnatalnem obdobju ter jih poskušamo opredeliti, opisati in oceniti z različnimi matematičnimi funkcijami. Razumevanje postnatalne rasti do dosega klavne zrelosti je pomembno za živinorejce, ki se ukvarjajo s pitanjem domačih živali. Na intenzivnost rasti vpliva tudi učinkovitost izkoriščanja hranljivih snovi, zato so le-te posebej pojasnjene. Na potek rasti vplivajo številni dejavniki, ki jih v učbeniku delimo na genetske in ne genetske. Z razumevanjem in poznavanjem le-teh lahko do neke mere reguliramo in predvidimo rast ter njeno intenzivnost, sestavo klavnega trupa in sestavo dnevnega prirasta. Poseben poudarek je na pojavu kompenzacijske rasti, njenega razumevanja ter pojasnitvi, ali lahko v resnici z nadomestno rastjo nadomestimo zaostanek rasti v optimalnem obdobju rasti posameznih živalskih tkiv? Ob tem so predstavljeni določeni omejitveni dejavniki, ki vplivajo na zmožnost živali za kompenzacijsko rast.
Agriculture Development and Food Security Policy in Eritrea - An Analysis
Authors:   Eritrea Institute of Technology, Rena Ravinder
Published: October 2021

The main economic activity of the people of Eritrea is agriculture: crop production and livestock herding. Agriculture mainly comprises mixed farming and some commercial concessions. Most agriculture is rain-fed. The main rain-fed crops are sorghum, millet and sesame, and the main irrigated crops are all horticultural crops like bananas, onions and tomatoes and cotton. The major livestock production constraints are disease, water and feed shortages and agricultural expansion especially in the river frontages. The agricultural sector employs eighty percent of the working population, but its production has not managed to cover internal food demand and is forced to cover nearly 50 per cent of its annual cereal requirements through imports- commercial and food assistance. Like most African countries, Eritrea is also a victim of the problem of food insecurity. In good years the country produces only about 60 per cent of its total food needs and in poor years, it produces no more than 25 per cent. On average, once in 10 years, the country is threatened with famines. Annual crop production depends on rainfall that is variable and unevenly distributed from year to year. Therefore, the primary goal of Eritrea is to guarantee food security by introducing modern technology, irrigation, terracing, soil and water conservation, with less dependence on rainwater. Thus the Government has articulated its food policy, which stresses national ownership of grant food assistance and to achieve food security in the coming five years. The policy indeed encompasses all sectoral policies and represents the Government’s engagements with regard to food security. Despite the general trends of improvement in the economy of Eritrea, it has not yet fully recovered, and thus will still continue to require variable degrees of food assistance for the coming few more years. Based on this historical and recurrent food insecurity in Eritrea, an attempt is made in this paper to assess the agriculture development and food policy in the country. Furthermore, the paper captures the available food security policy proposals of Eritrea and eventually draws conclusions.

Authors: Desai Sumit
Published: October 2021

The disabled populace of India has increased by 22.4% from 2001 to 2011. Over 2.13% of the whole populace of India is confronting with various levels of difficulties in everyday life. Assistive Technology (AT) can empower such populace to bring social equity. Assistive devices like smart wheelchair are the rehabilitation advances which are basic requirement of such disabled populace. Disabled populace can have better quality of life if they are assisted with smart wheelchair. Smart wheelchair not just helps the disabled populace to lead a normal life but defeats their inability. In India, statistics shows that disabled populous are more in rural areas. The fundamental reason behind this larger percentage in rural area is absence of best practices in assistive devices in rural area. The reasons are lack of information of smart wheelchair due to lack of education and poor financial conditions. Advances in smart wheelchair have opened a number of opportunities to help such disabled populace. This paper basically concentrates on the possibilities of the smart wheelchair with minimal cost with advanced sensor technology as effective rehabilitation technology for the Indian disabled population.

LA FORMACIÓN DE EDUCADORES COMPETENTES EN ATENCIÓN A LA DIVERSIDAD
Authors: Gil del Pino Carmen , García Segura Sonia
Published: October 2021

La antropología cultural ha probado la tesis de la reversibilidad del proceso más pertinaz de cuantos afectan al ser humano: la socialización. Según Boas y Mead, las pautas aprendidas culturalmente son modificables y los procesos de socialización reversibles. La razón de este estudio se halla en tal postulado, pues, pese a que existen evidencias científicas de que en las especies de reproducción sexual no hay dos individuos iguales y de que la diversidad intragrupal es mayor que la intergrupal, en los procesos de socialización los seres humanos aprenden a integrarse simbólicamente en grupos compactos en función de variables como la etnia, la religión, el género o la clase social y a construir y rechazar lo extraño, lo ajeno, lo otro. Instaladas y posicionadas en su cultura, las personas perciben el mundo desde un punto de vista etnocéntrico y, por tanto, sesgadamente. Según el Teorema de Thomas, si las situaciones se definen como reales son reales en sus consecuencias. Y es que las definiciones culturales de la realidad son asimiladas por los sujetos y condicionan su comportamiento. El objetivo de la investigación es descubrir los clichés culturales de los estudiantes del Máster en Educación Inclusiva de la Universidad de Córdoba (España) del curso 2018-2019. Se opta por una metodología de corte cualitativo y por la técnica de la interrogación, empleándose como herramienta la entrevista semiestructurada y abierta. El análisis de los datos revela que los participantes aprehenden el mundo desde su particular ángulo, desde su contingencia personal y cultural, desde su miopía, mostrando prejuicios etnocéntricos y juicios infundados, por lo que se plantea que los procesos formativos de los docentes se dirijan a hacerles reconocer, neutralizar y desmantelar tales percepciones cristalizadas y a ayudarles a construir una idea de diversidad basada en las diferencias individuales, no en las grupales.
