La educación bilingüe e intercultural en un pueblo totonaco
Authors: Limón Mendoza Erika , Hernández Limonchi María del Pilar
Published: September 2023

El artículo invita a reflexionar sobre el futuro de las lenguas originarias, dado que en las instituciones educativas el español es la lengua dominante y se monoculturaliza la educación. El objetivo es identificar cómo se imparte la educación intercultural y bilingüe en las escuelas de nivel básico y medio superior del municipio de Huehuetla, Puebla. La metodología es de tipo mixta, a partir de la aplicación de encuestas, el desarrollo de grupos focales y la observación participante en los centros escolares. Entre los resultados se muestra que existe desigualdad y discriminación en el derecho a la educación para niños, niñas y adolescentes indígenas totonacos, por la falta de reconocimiento a la diversidad cultural y la dominación del español sobre el totonaco. La educación intercultural y bilingüe es un medio para revitalizar y fortalecer las lenguas originarias, así como para preservar y proteger la riqueza cultural de los pueblos y comunidades indígenas de la nación y del mundo.

Authors: Auli Iván
Published: September 2023

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa que analiza la formación étnica que recibieron egresados de un Bachillerato Integral Comunitario (BIC) ubicado en Mazatlán Villa de Flores, Oaxaca. A partir de una metodología cualitativa con acercamiento a la etnografía se realizaron estancias prolongadas en el lugar, entrevistas a egresados y notas de campo; para el análisis se estableció un diálogo entre el referente empírico y antecedentes de investigación. Los egresados mencionan que el bachillerato los hizo reconocer su identidad étnica, revitalizar su lengua materna, conocer su territorio y reflexionar sobre su cultura mazateca incorporando nuevas ideas. En general, el BIC fomenta una agencia étnica entre las personas que asistieron a sus aulas. En las conclusiones se reflexionan los resultados y se alude a la incidencia positiva que tiene el BIC, al retomar aspectos étnicos de las comunidades indígenas de Oaxaca.
Learning Literature through Vlogging by Grade 11 Students
Authors: Anavy N. Perucho  , Merlyn L. Estoque
Published: September 2023

This study determined the effects of vlogging in learning literature among the Grade 11 students of Suyangan National High School for the school year 2021-2022.It sought answers to the following questions: (a) What is the academic performance of the Grade 11 in literature before and after the instruction; (b) significant difference on the academic performance before and after instruction in each group, and (c) Is learning literature through Vlogging more effective than without Vlogging?
Data were gathered from Grade 11 students of Suyangan National High School who were enrolled for SY 2021-2022 utilizing the researcher-made questionnaire. The analysis of the data was obtained using the Weighted Mean and Standard Deviation, T-test for paired samples,and Analysis of Covariance.
Results revealed that the level of performances of students in literature before and after instruction for some experimental group was from fairly satisfactory to very satisfactory; and for the control group- from fairly satisfactory to Satisfactory; learning literature through vlogging increased the level of performance in Literature of the Grade 11 students; and learning literature through vlogging was effective.
From the foregoing results, the following recommendations are offered:
Because the students' transmuted scores improved significantly after learning literature through vlogging, curriculum administrators and developers may adjust their policy and curriculum formulation by adding new literary text media such as vlogging. They can create standardized vlogs with various literary selections and add them;
With the significant increase in the performances of the students after using vlogging, teachers may adapt the vlog-type literary texts used in this research to strengthen their students’ communicative skills, especially in speaking. Using vlogging, the students would be able to not only enhance their speaking ability but also heighten their interest in understanding different literary texts; and
Even though the result indicates vlogging is a more effective pedagogical tool than using video clips, this pedagogical tool displays a positive response toward the improvement of the learning literature ability of the students. It could be employed a digital platform in providing literary texts. However, since not all students have access using internet. As students are media savvies, they can also create their own literary pieces through crafting vlogs. In this way, they can build up their interest to learn and to apply what they learn in understanding literary, or even non-literary, texts.
Describing the Inclusiveness of Students with Disabilities in Iowa School-based Agricultural Education Programs
Authors: Wilkins-Brittain Taylor , Smalley Scott W. , Hainline Mark S.
Published: September 2023

Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students with disabilities within school-based agricultural education (SBAE) is important to ensure students receive opportunities. This study explored the experiences that SBAE teachers associated with providing special education and related services for students with disabilities in all aspects of SBAE programs (i.e., classroom instruction, FFA membership, and Supervised Agricultural Experience [SAE] programs). Nine SBAE teachers from various career phases participated in semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Three main themes emerged from the interviews: communication, inclusiveness for a complete program, and transfer of responsibility for provided services. Future research should take a deeper look into the issue of providing free and appropriate public education (FAPE) for students with disabilities in SBAE programs. Additionally, future research needs to occur on each component (classroom, SAE, and FFA) of SBAE to ensure students with disabilities are being included to the fullest potential or what resources could be provided to assist educators.
“A Challenge that I’m Willing to Take On:” The Self-Efficacy of Female Undergraduate Students in Agricultural Mechanics
Authors: Granberry Tyler , Roberts Richie , Blackburn J. Joey
Published: September 2023

This qualitative study sought to answer the question: How do female agricultural education undergraduates describe their self-efficacy to teach agricultural mechanics? In response, we conducted a case study of female agricultural education majors (n=5) who enrolled in an Introduction to Agricultural Mechanics course. After multiple rounds of coding, three themes emerged: (1) Conflicting Perceptions of Agricultural Mechanics, (2) Confronting Challenges, and (3) Building Experience. When viewed through the lens of Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy, we concluded that the female students used four sources of self-efficacy to inform their judgments about agricultural mechanics. Although the participants had mixed views on agricultural mechanics, their perceived challenges to effectively teach the content, such as a lack of knowledge and prescribed gender roles, served as obstacles they hoped to address through future coursework and experiences. The findings of this study aligned with similar research; however, notable differences were also evident regarding the attitudes, concerns, and emotions articulated by the participants. Based on these findings, we recommend that future students in the course receive supplemental vicarious experiences with women who teach agricultural mechanics in school-based agricultural education. Because the participants were earlier in their coursework than those in previous studies, we also recommend that research examine how the perceptions of agricultural mechanics changes over time for agricultural education undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, as well as theory-building efforts to distill the sources of self-efficacy for such students going forward.
Extension Education Trends and Research Needs: Views from Professionals and Faculty
Authors: Donaldson Joseph L. , Graham Donna L. , Arnold Shannon , Taylor Lisa K. , Jayaratne K.S.U.
Published: September 2023

This study sought to understand Extension Education's trends and research needs as perceived by members of the American Association for Agricultural Education (AAAE) and Joint Council of Extension Professionals (JCEP) by comparing and contrasting findings from questionnaires using open-ended questions. Both groups identified changing technology and new audiences as key trends requiring Extension to adapt, and JCEP respondents noted makers and entrepreneurs as prominent new audiences. For Extension Education research needs, both groups prioritized research to heighten professional development among Extension professionals. JCEP respondents desire Agricultural and Extension Education (AEE) Departments to lead research in Extension administrative leadership. On the contrary, AAAE respondents prioritized Extension program evaluation research. Regarding Extension professional development, JCEP respondents identified program planning and evaluation, but AAAE respondents named research methods as prioritized needs. JCEP respondents prioritized practical experiences in Extension Education college courses, and AAAE members reported some internships, practicums, and experiential learning in their AEE curriculum. The results have implications for AEE Departments in planning professional development for Extension professionals and college instruction producing Extension-career-ready graduates. Recommendations emphasize the need to coordinate college curriculum and professional development and to prepare students for Extension careers.
What is the Meaning of Youth Livestock Production? A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study
Authors: Mott Rebecca L. , Simonsen Jon , Tummons John , Vandermause Roxanne , Ball Anna , Cletzer D. Adam , Peckman Jaelyn
Published: September 2023

Raising livestock for food production is a unique cultural phenomenon. It has been well documented that showing livestock as part of 4-H contributes to practical skills, knowledge, and life skills. While it is common to view livestock production through skills-based or economic lenses, there are subtle nuances of the phenomenon, social, cultural, and emotional aspects that are harder to capture. The purpose of this study was to generate an interpretation of the meaning of livestock production for long-standing 4-H livestock project members, and to uncover how these project experiences manifest in other aspects of members' lives. This project answers the question, "What does it mean to be a livestock producer?" Based on the assumption that understanding is rooted in lived experience, we used a Hermeneutic approach to examine transcripts of in-depth audio recorded interviews with 4-H members who are high school juniors or seniors and have been enrolled in livestock projects throughout their entire 4-H careers. In an additional photo elicitation activity, we examined participants' reflections on livestock photographs from their childhood. We uncovered two overarching patterns, paradoxical in nature: a) Livestock Production as a Culture of Care and Connection; and b) Livestock Production as a Culture of Loss and Misunderstanding. Patterns illuminated in this research inform educational experiences surrounding youth livestock production. This study also adds to agriculture industry's understanding of how youth experience growing up in livestock production. Finally, this study provides insight into the importance of exploring the ways livestock producers engage with consumers about agriculture.
Agrarianism in Agricultural Education: A Narrative Study
Authors: Martin Michael J. , Enns Kellie , Hartmann Katherine
Published: September 2023

Agriculturalists can be divided into broad ideological camps with differing value sets. While many different groups exist, there are two primary ideological groups: (1) conventional or agrarian populists and (2) non-conventional or neo-agrarians. Agricultural education students’ values about agriculture shape how they will work in their future classrooms, schools, and communities, as well as how they will interact with students and community members. The purpose of this narrative study was to describe undergraduate agricultural education students’ conceptualization of their values about agriculture. The findings from this study highlighted the polarization of ideologies in American agriculture. The agricultural education students’ conceptualization of agricultural values was largely conventional. Some students formed conventional agriculture values as they grew up, while other students experienced a change of their values towards conventional attitudes while in college. Students’ responses to others with differing values ranged from indifferent to negative. These differences indicate a real challenge for post-secondary agricultural educators. Students have the right to maintain their own values in agriculture, however they must be able to work with others who have differing values. Research is needed to evaluate effective ways to help students learn how to work with people who have differing agricultural values.
Examining Ethical Typologies of Agriculture and Natural Resources Leaders: A Q Study
Authors: Giles Michelle R. , Nash Taylor , Greenhaw Laura L. , Rampold Shelli D. , Hurdle J. Clay
Published: September 2023

This study sought to describe agriculture and natural resources (ANR) opinion leaders’ ethical orientations by illuminating how they determine what is right/wrong or good/bad when making decisions that impact the ANR industry. ANR leaders’ ethical perspectives impact decisions regarding complex critical issues and influence others’ behavior. We used Q methodology, and four typologies were revealed, including Principled, Industry-focused, Dutiful, and Multi-Hat Leaders. The methodological approach of Q methodology to identify common ethical perspectives among ANR leaders is unique. Leadership development practitioners and educators should encourage leaders to reflect on and be cognizant of their ethical beliefs, particularly when making high-stakes decisions with far-reaching implications and when representing others as industry leaders. Though each typology characterized was unique, they all relied on a combination of ethical perspectives to guide their decision making. This may be evidence of Kohlberg’s postconventional morality as leaders’ attempt to reconcile a multitude of perspectives while seeking solutions to complex problems. Ensuring ethical approaches to food and fiber production and consumption simultaneously with care for and preservation of natural resources begins with a clear understanding of leaders’ existing ethical perspectives.
A national review of state standards relevant to SBAE teacher performance and program quality
Authors: Traini Haley , Roberts Richie , Osbourne Ed , Park Travis , Yopp Ashley
Published: September 2023

Because of discrepancies among U.S. states regarding how they assess school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teacher performance and program quality, little knowledge has existed regarding how these differences might influence critical decisions regarding hiring, pay, promotion, and dismissal. In response, the purpose of our study was to examine commonalities and differences in state-level program quality standards of teacher and program performance expectations for SBAE in the U.S. To accomplish this, we analyzed documents containing teacher and program standards used by state SBAE leaders. Using cognitive sensemaking as our lens, we found states that measured SBAE teacher and program standards using a variety of formats and methods, emphasizing teacher engagement in professional development, organization of course syllabi and lesson plans, program safety, and health protocol adherence. We also found little mention of instructional practice as a prominent metric for success and no delineation regarding standards for teachers' years of experience. We discuss the merits of these documents and encourage practitioners to critically examine their intent and use them moving forward.
It’s complicated: Exploring the internal land-grant brand at Oklahoma State University
Authors: King Audrey , Settle Quisto , Cartmell Dwayne
Published: September 2023

Land-grant institutions (LGIs) are tasked with providing accessible education to the common man and improving their quality of life. This study examined faculty members’ interpretations of the land-grant mission and opinions about its future. The theory of branding guided this study. Faculty members are the primary deliverers university missions. Past studies have indicated some personnel are unaware of pieces of the land-grant mission. This is troublesome as a strong internal brand increases the likelihood of a positive public image. A purposive sampling method was used to recruit participants for 11 focus groups conducted in the summer of 2020. The audio was transcribed and imported into MAXQDA20 and analyzed using Glaser’s constant comparative method to identify themes, which were confirmed by assistant moderators. Participants had multiple definitions of the land-grant mission and interpreted in their work differently. There was a general state of concern for the future, but faculty members had an overall positive outlook on the land-grant mission. Faculty should view their work and behaviors as true building block of the OSU and land-grant brand. Future research should explore the internal brand at other LGIs and university staff, administration, and student perceptions should also be explored.
“Roll up your sleeves and get to work”: Understanding undergraduate leadership experiences in student organizations
Authors: Cletzer D. Adam , Mott Rebecca , Simonsen Jon , Tummons John , Pechman Jaelyn
Published: September 2023

Leaders are needed to address the agriculture industry’s increasingly complex and interconnected problems. Colleges of agriculture who offer leadership development coursework and degree programs often support student organizations to provide critical everyday opportunities for students to practice leadership in an authentic environment. This qualitative case study examined undergraduate students’ perceptions of, and experience with, leadership in student organizations in one Midwestern college of agriculture. Results indicated that students participated in student organizations to find students with similar interests, connect with potential employers, and improve their own employability. Results also indicated that leadership was typically conflated with position, and that industrial approaches to leadership were most common. This study has implications for administrators and faculty responsible for advising student organizations, and, more broadly, for leadership development programs in colleges of agriculture.
Here are the keys, go teach: How alternatively certified agriculture teachers learn to be agriculture teachers
Authors: Claflin Kellie , Stewart Josh , Traini Haley Q.
Published: September 2023

Teacher shortages in agricultural education are one reason for an increase in alternatively certified teachers, with 22.8% of new hires in school-based agricultural education (SBAE) being alternative licensure route completers in 2018. While prior research in SBAE has provided insight into the needs of alternatively certified teachers, we do not know how alternatively certified agriculture teachers are acquiring the practices of the profession. The purpose of this study was to explore how alternatively certified agriculture teachers acquire the practices of agriculture teachers using Wenger’s social learning theory, Communities of Practice. Data analysis resulted in four themes regarding how the participants acquired practices and the context of acquisition: (1) here are the keys, go teach; (2) connectors to the community, (3) in it for the kids, and (4) agricultural education is different from anything else. These findings highlight the social aspects of acquiring the unique practices of agriculture teachers through experience and mentors, as well as the dedication of participants to supporting students. Consequently, we recommend state leaders in SBAE to acknowledge the importance of social learning as they develop programming and supports for alternatively certified agriculture teachers.
What is in it for me: Reasons to join the teachers’ professional association
Authors: Ford Jillian , Lambert Misty
Published: September 2023

Agricultural Education relies heavily on national and state professional associations to serve School Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) teachers. Because there is not 100% membership in these organizations across the country, it is vital to learn what is holding teachers back from joining and identify the needs of current members to encourage continued membership. The purpose of this descriptive survey study was to determine teacher motivations to join their state ag teacher professional association and identify priority areas for initiatives. Data were collected from 245 SBAE teachers through a Qualtrics survey using skip logic to gather information from members and non-members. Results indicated most members were joining for networking opportunities and professional savvy. Cost and communication were indicated as limiting factors for non-members. Current members identified that curriculum resource sharing, new teacher resources, and teacher retention efforts should be very high on the list of priorities for the association. State association leaders should utilize this research to focus on networking and professional development initiatives as well as opening the lines of communication with stakeholders. Future research investigating demographic differences in decision to join and qualitative follow-up with members who have left may also be warranted.

Authors: Nowakowski Kylie M. , Marzolino Tiffany A. , McKim Aaron
Published: September 2023

There are many benefits to being involved in a school-based agricultural education program (SBAE). Engagement of students in SBAE programs provides students with a milieu of opportunities; as such, it is imperative to determine strategies for recruitment and retention that are impactful. Research surrounding the recruitment and retention of SBAE students is sparse. This study explored the ways that SBAE teachers are recruiting students and the perceived efficacy of those recruitment strategies to pinpoint which strategies teachers are using and perceived success. Hands-on learning and learning outdoors are the two strategies teachers are using most commonly in their programs and perceive to be most effective. The results of this study are compared to scholarship within the discipline on student recruitment as well as the Recruitment Theory.
Success in achieving LDL-C target values in a high-risk population in Slovakia: SlovakLipid retrospective study
Authors: Toth Stefan , Turek Martin , Pella Daniel
Published: September 2023

Introduction

Slovakia belongs among the countries with the highest cardiovascular mortality, nevertheless extensive data on the effectiveness of dyslipidaemia management is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the implementation of European guidelines in the very high-risk population in Slovakia.

Material and methods

We retrospectively analysed anonymised LDL C values of patients at very high cardiovascular risk gathered between 2017 and 2019 from collaborating laboratory with nationwide reach. CV risk was based on patient’s ICD diagnoses. LDL C target values were based on the 2016ESC/EAS recommendations, as well as current recommendations from 2019. Patients diagnosed with ACS, stroke, or overall very high-risk CVD were selected.

Results

A total of 220 657 LDL-C test results from 72 039 patients were processed. Only 8 9% of patients with ACS attained target LDL-C in a follow-up test each year. 6-9% of patients had LDL-C levels ≥ 4.9 mmol/l. Only 9-10% of patients with stroke achieved target LDL-C levels, and 7-8% had levels ≥ 4.9 mmol/l. In the very high CV risk group, only 7% of patients achieved target levels, and 7-8% had extremely high LDL-C levels ≥ 4.9 mmol/l. With the ESC/EAS2019 recommendations only 2-3% of patients in each group achieved target levels each year.

Conclusions

Based on our results, we found that over 90% of patients with very high CVD risk do not achieve target LDL-C levels. This percentage is even higher when implementing the 2019 guidelines. These patients remain at high risk of subsequent CVD events and would benefit significantly from intensified hypolipemic therapy.
Interpersonal differences in stress, coping, and satisfaction with life in the context of individual profiles of satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs
Authors: Barański Maciej , Poprawa Ryszard
Published: September 2023

Background

Basic psychological need theory has identified three basic needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Need satisfaction is necessary for development and well-being, while need frustration can lead to maladaptive functioning. The study investi-gated the significance of individual profiles of basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration in experiencing stress, coping, and satisfaction with life.

Participants and procedure

Participants (N = 622, Mage = 22.22 ± 4.30) completed the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale, Per-ceived Stress Scale, Stress Appraisal Questionnaire, COPE Inventory, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. We performed explor-atory factor analysis to identify coping styles, latent profile analysis to distinguish groups with specific need profiles, and MANOVA to demonstrate differences between these groups.

Results

Five coping styles were identified: (1) problem-focused, (2) emotion-focused, (3) meaning-focused, (4) escape-avoidance, and (5) religious. The following groups of individuals characterized by specific profiles of basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration were distinguished: (1) mainly low satisfaction and high frustration of relatedness; (2) high satisfaction and low frustration of all basic needs; (3) low satisfaction and high frustration of all basic needs; (4) average satisfaction and frustration of all basic needs; (5) mainly low satisfaction and high frustration of competence. These groups significantly differ in perceived stress, coping styles, and life satisfaction.

Conclusions

Individuals with profile 3 were the most stressed and tend to use escape-avoidance coping style. Participants with profile 2 coped using a problem-focused style and had higher life satisfaction. These findings indicate that a person-centered ap-proach leads to a better understanding of experiencing stress and coping.
Barrandov’s First Fifteen Years
Authors: Johnson Kevin B.
Published: September 2023

This chapter presents an overview of the first fifteen years of the Barrandov Studios, from its construction in 1933 until the communist coup in 1948. The chapter highlights some examples of the main genres for closer analysis with special attention to how these films imagined Czech identity, particularly relative to its German-speaking neighbors and with regard to its place on the international, English-oriented stage. A secondary focus is an exploration of the studio’s balancing act between promoting the national cinema and cultivating international industrial connections. In addition to considering the studio’s efforts to produce films to be marketed to German-speaking audiences, the essay also examines various ways that foreign industries invested in and capitalized on production in Prague.
Václav Vorlíček: A Dream within a Dream
Authors: Herzogenrath Bernd
Published: September 2023

With titles such as Kdo chce zabít Jessii? (Who Wants to Kill Jessie?, 1966), Dívka na koštěti (The Girl on the Broomstick, 1971), Tři oříšky pro Popelku (Three Nuts for Cinderella, aka Three Wishes for Cinderella, 1973), and Jak utopit dr. Mráčka aneb Konec vodníků v Cechách (How to Drown Dr. Mracek, the Lawyer, 1974), Václav Vorlíček has been one of Barrandov’s most prolific directors and scriptwriters, creating some of the classics of Czech (or, then, Czechoslovakian) film and TV (e.g., Arabela [Arabela, 1979–1981], and Arabela se vraci [Arabela Returns, 1993]). After studying directing at the Prague Film School from 1951 to 1956, Vorlíček joined Barrandov, first as an assistant director and, later, as a figure who was instrumental in the development of a decisively Czech(oslovakian) mode of comedies and – most importantly – fairy-tale films.
The ‘Vault Films’
Authors: Sweney Matthew
Published: September 2023

‘Vault films’ (‘trezorové filmy’ in Czech) is the name given to the group of Czechoslovak studio films which were taken out of circulation, left in the can and not released, or left unfinished due to the political changes in Czechoslovakia subsequent to the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops in August 1968. Recognition of their intrinsic worth at the time was such that the films were not destroyed, but instead spirited away and archived, put into hibernation to await the light of a new day. The films discussed here are All My Compatriots (1969, dir. Vojtěch Jasný; Best Director, Cannes, 1969), The Cremator (1969, dir. Juraj Herz), Larks on a String (1969, dir. Jiří Menzel; cowritten by Menzel and Bohumil Hrabal; Golden Bear, Berlin, 1990), Witchhammer (1970, dir. Otakar Vávra), The Ear (1970, dir. Karel Kachyňa), and A Case for the New Hangman (1970, dir.

Authors: Medran Rangel Adrize , Medran Rangel Eduarda , Wickboldt Stark Fernanda , De Borba Pereira Patr´ícia , Machado Machado Fernando
Published: September 2023

Biochar is a product that has been gaining prominence in the scientific community, and its applicability in the treatment of contaminated environments has been studied all over the world. Its characteristics such as yield and properties vary greatly with the type of raw material, production technology and operational parameters applied. Emerging contaminants are a global concern and need attention, so the use of bugs to remove these contaminants is a viable alternative. The objective of this research is to analyze how the authors are using biochar to treat water and effluents contaminated with emerging contaminants. The articles were searched in reputable databases, such as Science Direct and SciElo, after careful analysis, 15 articles on the subject of study were evaluated. Researchers and decision makers bring important results in their research on the most efficient ways to choose raw materials for biochar production, implementing sustainable production technologies and presenting satisfactory results in the removal of emerging contaminants. Through the data analyzed, it was possible to conclude that biochar is a promising, low-cost, highly replicable material that often uses solid waste from other production processes as raw material and efficiently removes contaminants emerging from aqueous media.
La descentralización del riesgo empresarial a través de las franquicias: nuevas tendencias laborales
Authors: Muñoz Ruiz Ana Belén
Published: September 2023

Como pauta general, la empresa matriz o franquiciadora y la empresa auxiliar o franquiciada son jurídicamente independientes, todo ello sin perjuicio de las facultades de supervisión que puedan establecerse contractualmente. Sin embargo, en el estudio se observan nuevos hitos en esta materia. El primer hito se refiere al control sobre las condiciones de trabajo de la plantilla de la empresa auxiliar o franquiciada, que ha servido recientemente como criterio para imputar responsabilidades laborales a la empresa matriz. El segundo hito en la investigación es el sesgo hacia el incumplimiento de la normativa laboral por parte de las empresas franquiciadas o auxiliares, que ha sido advertido por la doctrina especializada y para cuyo desarrollo se ofrecen ejemplos reales. Como tercer hito, pese a la autonomía defendida por las dos empresas vinculadas a la franquicia, se han identificado experiencias de negociación colectiva articulada donde la empresa matriz y las empresas auxiliares junto con la representación legal de las personas empleadas negocian condiciones de trabajo comunes. Los tres hitos en su conjunto advierten de cierto control por parte de las empresas matrices o franquiciadoras de las condiciones de trabajo de las personas empleadas por las empresas auxiliares o franquiciadas.
La estructura de grupo de las empresas como relación triangular de trabajo en busca de tipicidad jurídica coherente: una crítica de la actualidad legislativa y jurisprudencial
Authors: Moreno Pérez José María
Published: September 2023

La realidad económica y laboral está protagonizada por los grupos de empresas. En la experiencia de los tribunales se plantean continuos conflictos que tienen que ver con esta relevancia de las empresas de grupo en la vida cotidiana del trabajo. Sin embargo, todavía no hay una regulación completa, coherente y equilibrada que dé certeza a las personas trabajadoras y a las empresas. Este estudio hace un análisis crítico de algunas de las persistentes paradojas, contradicciones y lagunas que presentan las leyes y sentencias más recientes en la materia.
Descentralización productiva y relaciones triangulares de trabajo: entre tradición y renovación en la era digital
Authors: Miñarro Yanini Margarita
Published: September 2023

1. En el último periodo se ha asistido a cierta «inflación reguladora», mantenida incluso en la etapa preelectoral –RDL 5/2023, de 28 de junio, o RD 608/2023, de 11 de julio, por el que se desarrolla el Mecanismo RED de flexibilidad y estabilización del empleo, con otra reforma del despido colectivo–. No obstante, esta hiperactividad regulatoria no ha afectado a la descentralización productiva y a las múltiples «relaciones triangulares de trabajo» que provoca, sea en formas tradicionales o nuevas, que quiebran la clásica bilateralidad contractual. Debe recordarse, a título de ejemplo, que uno de los ámbitos en los que existían más expectativas de renovación antes de la reforma laboral era el de las contratas y subcontratas (art. 42 Estatuto de los Trabajadores –ET–), así como, en conexión, el de las muy polémicas empresas multiservicios y sus distintas fórmulas (como algunos centros especiales de empleo –por ejemplo, Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo –STS– 459/2023, de 28 de junio, si bien expresamente advierte de que deja fuera de su razonamiento el impacto de la reforma en ellos–; este número incluye un interesante diálogo con la jurisprudencia sobre el tema, realizado por el profesor Francisco Ramos). Con todo, su regulación apenas fue modificada, limitándose la reforma a plasmar la no siempre clara doctrina jurisprudencial en la materia (como indica, entre otras, la Sentencia del Tribunal Superior de Justicia –STSJ– de Galicia de 14 de abril de 2023, rec. 831/2023), lo que provocó cierta frustración de expectativas a algunos colectivos especialmente afectados por los efectos de estas fórmulas.

The study sought to investigate the relationship between the quality of learning and student inter-university transfer in private universities in Kenya. This study targeted 26 registered private universities (including private university constituents where mobility rate records are too high) in Nairobi County, Kenya. The research sample size was 180 private university students and nine registrars. Quantitative data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. Descriptive analysis, inferential statistics, and regression analysis were used to analyse the findings. Descriptive statistics such as mean scores, percentages, and standard deviation were computed appropriately. Binary logistic regression analysis was adopted to establish the extent of the impact on the dependent variables of independent variables. The study concludes that the quality of learning significantly influences students' mobility in private universities in Nairobi County in Kenya. Students prefer being in institutions of learning that can guarantee them quality education to enable them to get opportunities to thrive in the labour market. The study recommends that private universities invest in their respective infrastructure to ensure superior learning possibilities. There is a need to invest in qualified lecturers, classrooms, libraries, laboratories and many other things that contribute to quality learning. Student's mobility in private universities is in favour of institutions that are perceived to offer quality education.

Este artigo abordou a utilização da tecnologia na obstetrícia, destacando seu papel como complemento para melhorar a assistência ao parto, a segurança materna e neonatal, e a experiência geral da paciente. A tecnologia obstétrica pode fornecer ferramentas avançadas que beneficiam o monitoramento fetal, a detecção precoce de complicações, a telemedicina obstétrica e a melhoria da qualidade do atendimento. No entanto, é importante ressaltar que a tecnologia não substitui o cuidado clínico e a expertise dos profissionais de saúde. A segurança, a eficácia e a qualidade das soluções tecnológicas devem ser consideradas, buscando orientação profissional e informações confiáveis. Cada gestação é única, e é essencial adaptar a utilização da tecnologia às necessidades individuais das pacientes. Uma abordagem equilibrada, priorizando o cuidado pré-natal tradicional e a utilização responsável da tecnologia, é fundamental para garantir uma assistência ao parto eficaz e segura. A tecnologia na obstetrícia deve ser vista como uma ferramenta adicional, utilizada de forma consciente e responsável, em conjunto com o conhecimento clínico e a abordagem holística da saúde materna e neonatal.
