New data on Labronemella labiata Andrássy, 1985 (Dorylaimida: Qudsianematidae) from Iran, with SEM study and a compendium of the genus
Authors: PEÑA-SANTIAGO REYES , ABOLAFIA JOAQUÍN , PEDRAM MAJID
Published: March 2019

Labronemella labiata, the type species of its genus, is described after studying an Iranian population. An emendeddiagnosis of the species is provided, with new morphological and morphometrical features. The lip region, the mostdistinctive character of Labronemella is observed under SEM by the first time and its detailed morphology elucidated.Anterior surface (oral field) appears distinctly sunken and with its inner (perioral) area differentiated in six large, separatedliplets protruding on oral field. The lateral, perioral liplets are trapezoidal and visibly larger than subdorsal and subventralones, which are triangular, consequently the lip region shows a bi-radial symmetry. Inner labial papillae migrate to themargin of labial disc, being located close to outer labial and cephalic papillae. The systematics of Labronemella is brieflydiscussed, including diagnosis, updated list of species, key to their identification as well as a compendium of their main measurements and morphometrics.

Re-description of two species of Typhlocharis (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Anillini) and revision of the models of female genitalia within the genus
Authors: PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ SERGIO , ZABALLOS JUAN P.
Published: March 2019

The re-descriptions of Typhlocharis santschii Normand, 1915 and T. quadridentata (Coiffait, 1969) are presented, the onlytwo species of the genus Typhlocharis for which female genitalia are still undescribed. The status of the material depositedin museums is updated for both species and a type series is established for Typhlocharis santschii. Morphologicaldescriptions are increased, including ventral features barely or not used until now (morphology of the last ventrite andintermetacoxal space); two new morphological structures are presented: cephalic semilunar notch and medial hiatus in theanterior margin of pronotum. A nomenclature and the formula to describe setae forming rows are proposed. A comparativeanalysis of relevant morphological structures has been carried out across the whole genus. This allowed the study ofmorphological affinities of both species within the genus, with comments on the taxonomic affinities of both species withother of the genus and to comment on the taxonomic utility of features, other than the umbilicate series, for establishingrelationships among species or species groups. The peculiar morphology of the gonocoxites of T. quadridentata and therevision of the different models of female genitalia within the genus led us to define six morphotypes of genitalia. The biogeographic implications of the atypical distribution of T. santschii are briefly discussed.

Otostigmus beckeri sp. n. andO. lanceolatus sp. n. are described from the state of Bahia and O. giupponii sp. n. from the state of Espírito Santo. InBrazil, the otostigmine scolopendrid genus Otostigmus comprises 22 species. A summary of Brazilian Otostigmus speciesis presented with new distribution records, taxonomic remarks when appropriate and an identification key. Otostigmus sul-catus Meinert, 1886 is recorded for the first time from Brazil; the Andean Otostigmus silvestrii Kraepelin 1903, previouslyrecorded from Brazil, is here considered not to be present in this country. Eight nominal species are regarded here as newsynonyms.

Published: March 2019

The Malaysian Giant Turtle (Orlitia borneensis) is a poorly known turtle with rapidly decreasing numbers in nature in spite of its strong protection on paper. Most individuals of this species kept in European zoos and included in captive breeding programs are confiscates from the illegal trade for food consumption and their geographic provenance is unknown. This study was aimed to assess genetic and phenotypic variation of the founders of this captive population. We sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and found 23 haplotypes. We constructed a haplotype network and examined demographic changes by Bayesian skyline plots of the effective population size. The maximum sequence divergence was less than 1.5% and the phylogenetic structure of the haplotypes was supported poorly. A close genetic similarity among sampled turtles was further confirmed by sequencing the nuclear R35 gene, while the geometric morphometrics of the shell-shape were likewise similar. Thus, the examined captive population of O. borneensis may be further treated as a single conservation unit.

Authors: SOUZA MAYSA F. V. R. , FERREIRA RODRIGO L.
Published: March 2019

The order Palpigradi is currently represented by 13 species in South America. Among these, six species of the genus Eukoenenia Börner 1901 are found in Brazil: E. roquetti (Mello-Leitão & Arlé 1935), E. janetscheki Condé 1993, E. maquinensis Souza & Ferreira 2010, E. ferratilis Souza & Ferreira 2011 E. spelunca Souza & Ferreira 2011 and E. potiguar Ferreira, Souza, Machado & Brescovit, 2011. The number of described species in Brazil has increased from two to six in the last two years. Furthermore, Brazil is the richest South American country in terms of native described species. Despite the apparent advance in knowledge concerning Brazilian palpigrades, many species remain undescribed, and several areas were not even sampled in the country. Souza & Ferreira (2010) showed that palpigrades are widely distributed in some regions of the country and new species have been found. In this study, E. virgemdalapa, the third species of troglobitic Palpigradi from Brazil is described.

Published: March 2019

According to Baldissera et al. (2004) the Rhinella crucifer group includes five recognized species: Rhinella crucifer (Wied-Neuwied, 1821); R. ornata (Spix, 1824); R. henseli (A. Lutz, 1924); R. abei and R. pombali (Baldissera, Caramaschi & Haddad, 2004). The distribution of this group is associated to the Atlantic Rain Forest, from Ceará to Rio Grande do Sul, adjacent areas in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, Brazil. One species also occurs in Uruguay and northeastern Argentina, in the Misiones and Corrientes provinces (Baldissera et al. 2004; Frost 2011). Thomé et al. (2010) in a phylogeographic study of the Rhinella crucifer group identified two subclades in northeastern Brazil and adjacent areas: one ranging from Bahia to Paraíba and another from Minas Gerais to Espírito Santo. Of five species belonging to the R. crucifer group, only two have described tadpoles, R. ornata and R. pombali (Heyer et al. 1990, where the tadpole described as R. crucifer represents R. ornata; Lourenço et al. 2010). Here we described the tadpole of R. crucifer from a population from southern Bahia.

Authors: ARACHCHIGE GAYASHAN M. , JAYAKODY SEVVANDI , MOOI RICH , KROH ANDREAS
Published: March 2019

The first recorded regular echinoid species from Sri Lanka, “Salmacis virgulatus” (now known as S. virgulata L. Agassiz in L. Agassiz & Desor, 1846), was listed by Agassiz & Desor (1846). Knowledge of Sri Lankan regular echinoids continued to advance until the end of the 19th century. However, there is a gap in knowledge between the mid-20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries due to a lack of systematic studies, with the exception of two checklists published by the IUCN Red List in 2006 and 2012. In the present study, we compiled a species list combining published data and new data based on fieldwork between 2013 and 2015. Echinoids were sampled by snorkelling, diving, examination of fisheries bycatch, and collection of tests from beaches. The updated species list presented in this study includes 39 regular echinoids belonging to 28 genera, nine families, and five orders. Phyllacanthus imperialis (Lamarck, 1816) and Temnopleurus toreumaticus (Leske, 1778), which were not recorded during the last 90 years, were confirmed to still occur in Sri Lanka by the present study. We develop an updated species list of regular echinoids to form a basis for future systematic work. The study recommends further investigation to evaluate the status of deep-sea species and additional field work off the northern and eastern coasts of Sri Lanka.

Long‐term observation of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation at a European transplantation centre
Authors: Foerster Friedrich , Hoppe-Lotichius Maria , Vollmar Johanna , Marquardt Jens U , Weinmann Arndt , Wörns Marcus-Alexander , Otto Gerd , Zimmermann Tim , Galle Peter R
Published: March 2019

Background

The recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the strongest survival‐limiting factor after liver transplantation (LT) in patients with HCC. In the face of donor organ shortage, it is necessary to identify factors associated with HCC recurrence in order to maximize the utility of the available grafts.

Objective

To study the phenomenon of HCC recurrence after LT at a European transplantation centre over the past 20 years.

Methods

Data from 304 HCC patients who underwent LT were prospectively recorded. Clinical and pathological factors were assessed for their association with recurrence.

Results

Fifty‐one patients (16.8%) had HCC recurrence after LT. Patients exceeding the Milan criteria developed HCC recurrence more frequently. The time point of recurrence did not affect survival after recurrence. Furthermore, there was no difference in survival between patients with intra‐ and extrahepatic recurrence. However, patients with recurrence due to needle tract seeding had a significantly better outcome than patients with other sites of recurrence.

Conclusion

Our data support a restrictive use of patient selection criteria to help identify patients who have an increased risk of HCC recurrence after LT, and highlight the need to improve patient selection before LT in order to minimize the rate of HCC recurrence.
Sonographic findings of mass-forming extramammary Paget’s disease in the scrotum

Published: March 2019

Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy involving the scrotum and may be confused with other scrotal malignancy. We describe the sonographic findings of an extremely rare case of mass-forming EMPD of the scrotal wall. Ultrasonography, which shows mild heterogeneous hyperechoic masses with a stalk connected to the dermis, can help predict the depth of vertical invasion of the lesion. The lesion extent should be precisely evaluated because the presence of dermal invasion of EMPD is the risk factor in distant metastasis and is known to result in a worse prognosis. Ultrasonography is a primary imaging modality to evaluate the extent and vertical invasion of EMPD. Surgical local wide excision is the treatment of choice for EMPD and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.

Authors: Janiec Michalina , Toś Mateusz , Bratek Agnieszka , Rybak Ewelina , Drzyzga Karolina , Kucia Krzysztof
Published: March 2019

Aim of the study

Alexithymia is a personal trait in which the individual is unable to identify and describe their emotions. The main features of alexithymia: an inability to recognize and identity feelings, use of language to describe the feelings and the inability to distinguish between emotions and bodily symptoms.

The aim of the present study was to examine the rates of alexithymia among Polish students in the relationships to specific faculties of studies, sociodemographic variables and the impact of family problems.

Subject or material and methods

The study group consisted of 1125 participants form 27 Polish universities, 869 women and 256 men, aged from 18 to 40. All participants completed the authors’ sociodemographic questionnaire and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale – 26.

Results

Among the surveyed students, more than a half of them (56%, n=635) were characterized by a high level of alexithymia. It was correlated positively with alcohol abuse in the family of origin (p=.02) and domestic violence experienced by respondents (p=.03). There were no significant correlations between alexithymia, gender and faculties of study (p>.05).

Discussion

Gender and faculties of study do not have an influence on the prevalence of alexithymia. The results indicate that family problems and alexithymia are positively correlated.

Conclusions

From the research that has been carried out, it is possible to conclude that alexithymia is widespread among Polish students.

The article presents the first experience of applying the methodology "Neurotic Personality Questionnaire KON-2006"developed by the Polish scientist J. Aleksandrowicz in Russia. The article describes the procedure for the adaptation of the questionnaire and the results of his study, construct and convergent validity. In paper hare demonstrate he results of an empirical study of 423 people (201 patients with neurotic disorders and 222 healthy), which demonstrate the psychodiagnostic possibilities of the technique. It is shown that the "KON-2006" in the Russian sample well differentiates the clinical group from a group of healthy, revealing significant differences in almost all indicators, the questionnaire is describes a wide range of personal characteristics (personality dysfunctions) inherent in patients with neurotic disorders, and reveals their high severity. Along with the "KON-2006", the study also used a method for studying of level of social frustration, the questionnaire "Neurotic personality traits", the questionnaire "Level of neuroticism", a technique for studying the severity of psychopathological symptoms (Symptoms Check List - 90), a technique for studying intrapersonal conflicts. Results of the study revealed the personal characteristics that show the highest correlation with clinical decorated neurotic disorders. Based on these results an attempt was made to identify and describe certain "personality types" that are typical of patients with neurotic disorders. The study was designed methodical complex for the positive diagnosis of neurosis, which includes as «KON-2006 Questionnaire neurotic personality 'main tool.

Trata-se de uma reflexão mediada pela autoetnografia que incorpora a experiência pessoal das pesquisadoras, interagindo com a realidade sociocultural investigada. Expressa relatos históricos e contingente de si, intercruzando práticas cotidianas e o cuidado com o mundo. Um trabalho de memória cujos fios que compõem sua trama entrelaçam passado e presente dando relevo às experiências coletivas que singularizam os corpos humanos e não humanos.
EDUCAÇÃO JURÍDICA PARA O BEM VIVER: A SUPERAÇÃO DE UM ARQUÉTIPO EUROCÊNTRICO PARA UMA EPISTEMOLOGIA DO SUL
Authors: Caovilla Maria Aparecida Lucca , Balbinot Carmelice Faitao , Boita Manoel
Published: March 2019

Este artigo aborda aspectos da colonialidade do ser, do saber e do poder no contexto latino-americano, contestando a lógica tradicional do ensino e da educação transmissiva, em especial ao modelo de ensino jurídico. Discute, ainda, a necessidade de descolonização da cultura no ensino do Direito, considerando a importância de educar para múltiplas sabedorias, criatividades expressivas e reflexivas, integrantes da cultura latino-americana. Para dar conta de atender a estas inquietações, pergunta-se: será possível um novo modelo de educação no Direito, fundamentado na efetivação da cidadania, da democracia e de justiça para o bem viver no continente latino-americano? Intenta-se um novo caminho à educação jurídica na América Latina, com o propósito de renovar o processo de construção dos saberes, calcado nas necessidades da sociedade, para o rompimento da burocratização, formalismo, positivismo e individualismo nas práticas jurídicas no Brasil, ancorado no pluralismo jurídico comunitário-participativo.

The analyses described in this paper permitted an evaluation of whether capacity-building professional development practices were related to early childhood intervention practitioners’ reported use of capacity-building family-centered practices. This was ascertained by structural equation modeling for two different types of family-centered practices (participatory and relational) where the two models were compared to determine the better fitting model and the sizes of effects for the relationships among the variables in the models. Results provided converging evidence that capacity-building professional development engenders practitioners’ use of capacity-building family-centered practices. Implications for practice are described.
Condensed Forms for Linear Port-Hamiltonian Descriptor Systems
Authors: Scholz Lena
Published: March 2019

Motivated by the structure which arises in the port-Hamiltonian formulation of constraint dynamical systems, structure preserving condensed forms for skew-adjoint differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) are derived. Moreover, structure preserving condensed forms under constant rank assumptions for linear port-Hamiltonian differential-algebraic equations are developed. These condensed forms allow for the further analysis of the properties of port-Hamiltonian DAEs and to study, e.g., existence and uniqueness of solutions or to determine the index. It can be shown that under certain conditions for regular port-Hamiltonian DAEs the strangeness index is bounded by $\mu\leq1$.
Information vs enigma – exploring students’ understanding of artistic and conventional visual communication
Authors: Leben Lucia
Published: March 2019

This visual essay discusses how visual communication strategies in the context of art differ from visual communication strategies in everyday media. A quantitative visual content analysis of 23 art exhibition leaflets and 47 leaflets advertising everyday life events showed that readability is a significantly more important feature of conventional visual communication, whereas artistic visual communication tends to emphasize aesthetics and a sense of enigma. 322 students between the ages of 10 and 18 years participated in an online-survey designed to investigate their preconceptions about art and to measure their competencies in discriminating and naming characteristics for artistic communication strategies in opposition to conventional communication strategies with an emphasis on pictures. The students’ awareness of aesthetic communication strategies increased after completing the task of comparing and categorizing leaflets from artistic and other contexts.
Metamorphosis of visual literacy: From 'reading images' to a critical visual education
Authors: Errázuriz Luis
Published: March 2019

In this review some ideas about the Common European Framework of Reference for Visual Literacy (CEFR-VL) are critically discussed from a South American perspective. First of all it is observed that the relationship to the visible world should also include nature and ecological issues. As to the concept of ‘visual literacy’, its linguistic and economic overtones are criticized from the point of view of visual education, as well as for its sociological implications. Finally the notion of competency and sub-competencies are discussed. The origin of ‘competency’ in an economic and technocratic model of curriculum runs the risk that in visual education the non-measurable might get lost. The CEFR-VL also runs the risk of becoming a rigid, prescriptive format, thus leaving little space for other views. It is hoped for that the professionals in the domain will transform the CEFR-VL into a valuable tool capable of offering multiple ways of seeing. Thus the concept of ‘visual literacy’ will give space to the notion of ‘visual education’. This would be a most welcome metamorphosis of the domain.
Acquiring visual competencies with situation-based assignments
Authors: Billmayer Franz
Published: March 2019

This article presents a situation-based, user-oriented methodology and tool for the development of assignments aimed at the enhancement of visual competency. Art educators are invited to identify relevant situations in life that today’s learners are likely to be faced with now or in the future and use them as a basis to define competencies that the learners will need in order to act appropriately. This approach to competency models appears to be effective, as it is the task of education to prepare learners to deal with situations through acquiring competencies. Components and possible uses of the ‘situation wheel’, the tool for the design of authentic assignments, may facilitate the interpretation of the Common European Framework for Visual Competency (CEFR-VC) for everyday teaching praxis.
Dundo, Memória Colonial: A postcolonial return and the documentary politics of history
Authors: Stock Robert
Published: March 2019

This article presents an analysis of the documentary film Dundo, Memória
Colonial (‘Dundo, colonial memory’) (2009) by the Portuguese journalist Diana Andringa. In the first section, I will inscribe Andringa’s film within the wider context of filmic geographies of return. Sections two and three address the multifaceted ways in which colonial Dundo is remembered in Portugal by former settlers and in Angola by former African workers as presented by the film. The fourth section of the article analyses a more personal memory of Dundo that is also developed in this film as the director herself spent her childhood in Dundo. I will conclude that Dundo offers fragmented visions of the past that have to be confronted and discussed in a shared Afro-Portuguese filmic framework. As nostalgic and critical ways of remembering the past are confronted in the film, the documentary proposes that remembering the past is always ambivalent and connected to specific politics of history.
Cape Verdean immigration in Pedro Costa’s Fontainhas trilogy: Narratives of deterritorialization
Authors: Vera Ana
Published: March 2019

This article will focus on the narratives of space and deterritorialization in Pedro Costa’s Fontainhas trilogy. This trilogy is made up of Ossos (‘Bones’) (1997), No Quarto da Vanda (In Vanda’s Room) (2000) and Juventude em Marcha (Colossal Youth) (2006), which explore the lives and narratives of Cape Verdean immigrants and their descendants living in the famed shantytown outside Lisbon’s limits. The analysis of Pedro Costa’s trilogy will focus on Fontainhas inhabitants’ inability to possess their territory as the result of an existence shaped by a movement of perpetual deterritorialization. As I will argue, this process reflects Portugal’s failure to fulfil the promises of the Carnation Revolution, remaining inhospitable for immigrants.
Unfashioned creatures: A study of photo-collage and its relevance in the twenty-first century
Authors: Thickett Alice
Published: March 2019

Most recently art philosophy has shifted away from postmodernist ideas. But where does the practice of photo-collage fit in? Photo-collage addresses a range of theories; it involves a particular method of cutting and pasting; it brings up metaphysical notions of ‘decoding’ artworks; and it addresses a variety of themes. This article places these ideas into the twenty-first-century cultural rhetoric, which has broadened to involve wider themes from ecological philosophy. The article suggests that in asking how photo-collage fits into the cultural scene, it is pertinent to ask how the arts fit into the bigger picture of the world.
Contingency, memory and language in Patricio Guzman’s The Pearl Button
Authors: Perelló Antonia
Published: March 2019

The Pearl Button (2015) is a documentary directed by Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán. Throughout the film, the director takes us on a journey along Chilean waters, where the brutality of the countries’ past comes to life with the cyclical movements of this natural resource. In the light of phenomenology, this article analyses the devices that Guzmán uses to bring the elements of the past into the present, providing his audience with a space of remembrance.

Suspension: Repeating repetition!
Authors: Kolenc Bara
Published: March 2019

This introduction to the thematic section about repetition deals with the question of why we need to rethink the relation between repetition and performing arts. We claim that it is precisely with repetition that contemporary performing arts circle their field and are inscribed in social discourses, capital mechanisms of the labour market and the mechanisms of truth production and knowledge deployment. By considering two traditional presuppositions about the connection between theatre and repetition, we unfold their problematic nature and show why it is necessary to – again – talk about repetition and performance. Continuing with the critique of the paradigm of authenticity and the idea of artistic positivism or vitalism, we show that today the connection between performance and repetition needs to be considered through a modern conception of repetition, articulated already by Kierkegaard, through which we need to grasp not only that repetition is inscribed in contemporary performance, but also that it is precisely with repetition that performing practices are inscribed in the social and thereby generate their political power.
A portrait of the artist: Mateja Bučar
Authors: Brezavšček Pia
Published: March 2019

The article is a portrait discussion of the work of Slovenian choreographer Mateja Bučar. It follows the conceptual shifts in choreographic problems she poses during the creative process. It is predominantly based on an interview conducted with the artist and the viewing of accessible videos and memorial reconstructions of certain seen performances and actions. By analysing certain works, the article traces the choreographic principles that attempt to wrest the body from subjectivity and animate objects in the theatre machine in order to point to a sort of ‘affective intermediacy’ in the best possible way. This creative line has organically led the choreographer into an urban environment, where she introduces minimal discipline and short and randomly emerging synchronous choreographic situations into the all but natural and free movement of pedestrians.
Repetitions of a text: A text on repetition
Authors: Čičigoj Katja
Published: March 2019

The text repeats the repetition of a performance on repetition with repetition. The text itself consists of the repetition of several texts and of itself; as such it has been/will be repeated several times. The repetitions might be for repetition’s sake (laziness), they might be the symptom of a repetitive hyperproductive activity (workaholism), or they might point to the need of the emergence of difference in the stream of repetition of always the same categories (laziness, work) with which we think art and non-art: repetitive and non.
‘Value-in’ partnership: Common ground and difference in university knowledge transfer policy and research
Authors: Michels Nicolette
Published: March 2019

This study is set in the context of growing evidence of a frustrated UK policy aim for a fully fledged university third stream and particular issues of stakeholder engagement, management, measurement and resource allocation. Whilst university knowledge transfer is framed by a discourse of mixed metaphors, this research demonstrates the conceptual and practical value of the partnership metaphor, and associated concepts of common ground and difference between partners. This exploratory study identifies shared and different conceptions of academic and associate partners engaged in the UK policy mechanism of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs). Importantly it identifies that common and different conceptions of partners offer valuable insights for issues of engagement, management, measurement and resource allocation in third-stream policy. Conclusions suggest to researchers and policy-makers not just that common ground and difference inherent in the concept of partnership should be recognized and managed, but rather that these dimensions should be regarded as valuable sources of knowledge in the KTP process itself: there is value in partnership.
Cadáveres insumisos: hacia una ética del asedio y de la hospitalidad
Authors: Meloni González Carolina Natalia
Published: March 2019

A la luz de las excavaciones realizadas en el pozo de Vargas, inhumación clandestina utilizada durante la última dictadura militar argentina en la provincia de Tucumán, abordaremos en este artículo la posibilidad de cierta agencia política encarnada en la figura del aparecido. Retomando el concepto de “espectro” elaborado por Jacques Derrida, haremos un recorrido por dos tipos de muertes: una de ellas, entendida como alteridad radical, impuesta por la dictadura como parte del dispositivo de terror, y otra muerte, materializada en los restos de aparecidos, que supone un requerimiento de justicia. Las identificaciones y recuperaciones de personas desaparecidas, expulsadas por la dictadura de la comunidad política y sometidas a un exilio postmortem, nos van a permitir analizar sus efectos políticos en el campo social.
Una (breve y no muy sistemática) aproximación a la noción de agencia desde la vulnerabilidad
Authors: Martínez María
Published: March 2019

Este texto presenta el número monográfico “Agencias desde la vulnerabilidad”. Frente a la concepción hegemónica de vulnerabilidad que niega la agencia, esta presentación y los artículos de este número invitan a pensar qué sucede cuando confrontamos esos conceptos. El resultado es la necesidad de repensar la noción de agencia y, con ella, los conceptos de acción y de sujeto de la acción. Además del trabajo de Saba Mahmood que se recoge en la sección fundamentales, el número cuenta con las contribuciones de Paola Rebughini, Jane Freedman, Itziar Gandarias, María Santacruz Giralt, Ariana S. Cota, Aurora Álvarez Veinguer y Luca Sebastiani, y Carolina Meloni, a los que se les suma el papel crítico de Álvaro Villar Baile.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present paper is to analyse and characterise the way in which teacher educators work with student teachers when conducting analyses of their own practice by means of selfconfrontation interviews. The corpus of this work consists of 10 self-confrontation interviews carried out by 5 teacher educators. The role of those teacher educators was analysed using the transcriptions of the interviews and 9 categories were identified. Two categories were found to be the most common: demanding specifications and creating controversy. Differences were also found as regards teacher educators’ profile. As a result, in-depth training for teacher educators has been considered as needed.KEYWORDS: initial teacher education, teacher educators, analysis of the activity, self-confrontation interviews.LABURPENALan honen helburua da aztertzea eta ezaugarritzea unibertsitateko irakasle-bideratzaileek zer nolako bidaidetza mota egiten duten etorkizuneko irakasleekin euren praktikaren analisia bideoaren aurreko autokonfrontazio elkarrizketak egiten ari direnean. 5 irakasle-bideratzailek egindako 10 autokonfrontazio elkarrizketak osatutako corpusean,. aztertu da irakasle-bideratzaile horien rola ikasleekin egindako autokonfrontazio elkarrizketen transkribapenetan eta euren jarduna 9 kategoriatan banatu da.
