We present spectroscopic confirmation of five galaxy clusters at 1.25 < z < 1.5, discovered in the 2500 deg2 South Pole Telescope Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) survey. These clusters, taken from a mass-limited sample with a nearly redshift-independent selection function, have multiwavelength follow-up imaging data from the X-ray to near-IR and currently form the most homogeneous massive high-redshift cluster sample known. We identify 44 member galaxies, along with 25 field galaxies, among the five clusters, and describe the full set of observations and data products from Magellan/LDSS3 multiobject spectroscopy of these cluster fields. We briefly describe the analysis pipeline and present ensemble analyses of cluster member galaxies that demonstrate the reliability of the measured redshifts. We report z = 1.259, 1.288, 1.316, 1.401, and 1.474 for the five clusters from a combination of absorption-line (Ca ii H&K doublet—λλ3968, 3934) and emission-line ([O ii] λλ3727, 3729) spectral features. Moreover, the calculated velocity dispersions yield dynamical cluster masses in good agreement with the SZ masses for these clusters. We discuss the velocity and spatial distributions of passive and [O ii]-emitting galaxies in these clusters, showing that they are consistent with velocity segregation and biases observed in lower redshift South Pole Telescope clusters. We identify modest [O ii] emission and pronounced CN and Hδ absorption in a stacked spectrum of 28 passive galaxies with Ca ii H&K-derived redshifts. This work increases the number of spectroscopically confirmed SZ-selected galaxy clusters at z > 1.25 from three to eight, further demonstrating the efficacy of SZ selection for the highest redshift massive clusters and enabling detailed study of these systems.
Triggering Collapse of the Presolar Dense Cloud Core and Injecting Short-lived Radioisotopes with a Shock Wave. VI. Protostar and Protoplanetary Disk Formation
Authors: Boss Alan P.
Published: December 2018

Cosmochemical evaluations of the initial meteoritical abundance of the short-lived radioisotope (SLRI) 26Al have remained fairly constant since 1976, while estimates for the initial abundance of the SLRI 60Fe have varied widely recently. At the high end of this range, 60Fe initial abundances have seemed to require 60Fe nucleosynthesis in a core-collapse supernova, followed by incorporation into primitive meteoritical components within ∼1 Myr. This paper continues the detailed exploration of this classical scenario, using models of the self-gravitational collapse of molecular cloud cores that have been struck by suitable shock fronts, leading to the injection of shock front gas into the collapsing cloud through Rayleigh–Taylor fingers formed at the shock–cloud interface. As before, these models are calculated using the FLASH three-dimensional, adaptive mesh refinement, gravitational hydrodynamical code. While the previous models used FLASH 2.5, the new models employ FLASH 4.3, which allows sink particles to be introduced to represent the newly formed protostellar object. Sink particles permit the models to be pushed forward farther in time to the phase where a ∼1 M
⊙ protostar has formed, orbited by a rotating protoplanetary disk. These models are thus able to define what type of target cloud core is necessary for the supernova triggering scenario to produce a plausible scheme for the injection of SLRIs into the presolar cloud core: a ∼3 M
⊙ cloud core rotating at a rate of ∼3 × 10−14 rad s−1 or higher.
Lules, isistines y omoampas en el relato histórico de un misionero jesuita en las fronteras del Chaco
Authors: Lucaioli Carina P. , Sosnowski Daniela
Published: December 2018

En este trabajo presentamos la transcripción de un documento escrito por el cura doctrinero Pedro Juan Andreu, titulado “Anua histórica de la Misión de San Estevan de los Indios Lules de 1744”. El manuscrito forma parte de la inédita Colección De Angelis, adquirida y preservada por la Biblioteca Nacional de Río de Janeiro. El relato apunta a informar sobre el estado de la reducción y sobre los resultados de dos tareas específicas relativas al control de grupos indígenas insumisos, asignadas por el padre provincial en su visita anual. Para abordar estos temas, se incluyen datos sobre otras cuestiones relevantes para el estudio de la coyuntura interétnica del período colonial desde una perspectiva que reconoce la historicidad de los grupos étnicos del Chaco occidental. El comentario crítico que acompaña esta transcripción se organiza siguiendo dos ejes principales: el primero orientado a situar el documento en sus diversos contextos; el segundo apunta a identificar y deslindar los datos del discurso que nos permitan avanzar en el análisis de distintas problemáticas de la historia indígena en particular y de los estudios de frontera en general.
La dimensión territorial en la frontera sur del Virreinato del Río de la Plata:las expediciones hacia las Salinas Grandes en la época tardocolonial
Authors: Vollweiler Sabrina Lorena
Published: December 2018

En el transcurso del siglo XVIII, la ciudad de Buenos Aires se abasteció de sal mediante la organización de expediciones hacia las Salinas Grandes localizadas en el actual departamento de Atreucó de la provincia de La Pampa (actual República Argentina). Presentamos aquí las transcripciones de tres diarios acerca de las incursiones realizadas en los años 1786, 1787 y 1788 y un listado de los cautivos rescatados durante los tres viajes. Estas fuentes documentales elaboradas por Manuel Pinazo, el comandante, nos permiten conocer los acontecimientos cotidianos en el terreno, del estado de los caminos, de la disponibilidad de recursos para los expedicionarios, de las interacciones con caciques y grupos indígenas así como las diversas estrategias implementadas por los funcionarios, la tropa y los demás integrantes de la expedición para transitar por lugares lejanos de los puestos fronterizos y cercanos a las tolderías indígenas. En este trabajo analizamos la dimensión territorial de aquellos parajes en los que interactuaban los sujetos que concurrían a las expediciones coloniales y los grupos indígenas que se acercaban a ellas, haciendo énfasis en las estrategias de conocimiento y control efectuadas por los distintos actores que circulaban entre la guardia de Luján y las Salinas Grandes.
Mujeres afrouruguayas en el contexto del Primer Congreso Nacional de Mujeres del Uruguay (1936)
Authors: Martínez Mónica García
Published: December 2018

Las mujeres afrouruguayas participaron en varias actividades con otras mujeres a nivel político. Una de estas acciones fue su presencia en el Primer Congreso Nacional de Mujeres del Uruguay realizado en Montevideo en 1936. En su representación, las delegadas Iris Cabral y Maruja Pereira expusieron sus propuestas y compartieron todas las actividades del encuentro. Asimismo, se conectaron con otras mujeres organizadas, como Clementina Gómez, miembro del Partido Feminista Democrático.La prensa afrouruguaya cubrió esta participación con las notas de dos de sus redactores, que destacaron la acción meritoria de la “mujer negra”. En estas menciones, a partir de la observación de la prensa de su colectividad, la interseccionalidad de las afrouruguayas es notoria en tanto mujeres y en tanto afrodescendientes. Los redactores, al cubrir la noticia de su participación, señalaron elementos identitarios de las afrouruguayas diferentes a los de las otras mujeres del país.En este artículo se hará un acercamiento a las identidades de la mujer afrouruguaya: su lado de mujer uruguaya y su lado de “mujer negra”. A su vez, se mostrarán algunas de las conexiones que tuvieron con otras mujeres, ubicándolas en su contexto histórico y tomando como acontecimiento principal el Primer Congreso Nacional de Mujeres del Uruguay.
De l'apprentissage en famille a la scolarisation republicaine. Deux cas d'étude en Guyane et en Polynésie Française
Authors: Alì Maurizio
Published: December 2018

Cette thèse présente une analyse anthropologique de l’éducation informelle chez deux communautés autochtones de l’Outre-mer français : les Wayana-Apalaï, en Guyane, et les Enata, en Polynésie française. A partir des données recueillies grâce à un travail ethnographique de longue durée, on a pu déterminer le temps consacré aux interactions éducatives dans le milieu domestique, les styles éducatifs dominants et les logiques éducatives des membres des deux communautés. La dynamique éducative a été interprétée en tant que processus de transmission des données culturelles liées à un paysage naturel et social déterminé. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les stratégies éducatives des Wayana-Apalaï et des Enata sont modelées par les contraintes propres à la dynamique postcoloniale et des impératifs imposés par l’économie de marché.
The Intersection of Digital Humanities and Artistic Augmented/Virtual Reality Research in Hong Kong
Authors: Kim Eugenia S.
Published: December 2018

Immersive media such as augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) environments are growing in popularity both globally and in Hong Kong. In the artistic research sector, these projects may or may not have systematic digital preservation, data curation, or other digital stewardship components built into the creative process. Although digital multimedia preservation has been a long-standing topic of discussion for archivists, the complexity of immersive media projects raises questions regarding best practices and ensuring future accessibility. The author proposes that artistic AR/VR research in Hong Kong could benefit from the application of digital humanities practices, whether it be for archival, research, or further artistic purposes. This chapter reviews case studies in Hong Kong academic institutions to identify existing needs and makes recommendations for incorporating digital humanities practices into the creative and project management processes.

Authors: Wong Richard W. L. , Leung Anthony K. H. , New Brad , Ching Steve
Published: December 2018

This chapter describes a lighthouse heritage experiential education project conducted by Run Run Shaw Library, City University of Hong Kong. The project initiative aims to connect students to archival collections with the aid of digital technology. The research, or “digital forensic investigation,” was conducted on the Xiyu Pagoda Lighthouse, a demolished lighthouse that once existed on Xiyu Island, Penghu, Taiwan. The first stages of research have been framed within a six-step “forensic investigation” model. Proceeding research developed from and beyond the model and focused on resolving the inconsistencies encountered in the initial research. Digital humanities tools were utilized for reconstruction and representation purposes, accumulating evidence through an iterative process between primary and authoritative sources, and first-hand observation. Beyond demonstrating the way in which technology can be employed to enhance historical research, the aim of this chapter is to illustrate how library initiatives can serve to connect students to archival collections.

Authors: Redien-Collot Renaud
Published: December 2018

This chapter applies stakeholder theory in order to evaluate whether a blockchain community is demonstrating a communicational maturity in order to achieve its technical, social, and political agenda. The consistence of the mission of an organization or a community is clearly reflected in the eyes of its stakeholders. Therefore, the study adopts a qualitative lens in conducting 11 semi-structured interviews with experts that are prominent international stakeholders of the blockchain in order to gain a deeper understanding of their internalized perception about this technology and its social network. According to the results, the blockchain community members are ready to address the feasibility of their technology and its implications. They also address some aspects of the social suitability of their network. However, they do not fix clear conditions of communication and coordination to discuss the sustainability of the whole organization.

Authors: Mezghani Karim , Almansour Mohammed AbdulAziz
Published: December 2018

This chapter attempts to study the intentions to use cloud-based CRM applications through a combination between a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). To test the different links identified in the research model, a research questionnaire was prepared and sent to marketing managers within Saudi SMEs in Saudi Arabia. A total of 41 useful questionnaires were collected. The authors opted to the structural equation modeling (SEM) using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) to analyze data. The tests are prepared with XLstat software since it integrates both factor analysis and PLS modules. Among the main statistical analyses, the authors conclude that the TPB-TAM is suitable to study cloud CRM. From a managerial perspective, the authors expect that cloud CRM is perceived with good impression and that this new technology should be implemented strongly and gradually in SMEs to improve the quality of services provided to customers and organizations.

Published: December 2018

This chapter aims to provide a better tool for implementing the marketing technique known as influencer marketing in the tourism industry. To do so, a results-oriented influencer marketing manual for the tourism industry has been created. Despite the success of influencer marketing, the few previous studies in this field do not include verified measures to ensure its effectiveness. For this reason, the approach that is presented here could be crucial to support these marketing activities. As this topic is new and often little-understood, the data compiled was based on the case study methodology. This chapter proposes the following phases: (1) campaign planning, (2) search for influencers, (3) evaluating the best profiles, (4) contacting influencers, (5) proposing a project, (6) execution, and (7) analyzing the results. This work could help companies considering influencers as a new communication channel to successfully run their campaigns.

Ransomware these days needs no introduction. The perpetrators behind ransomware have done more than enough damage to critical infrastructures and collected billions of dollars from victims across the world and are still collecting. As such, this research aims at uncovering the underlying mysteries behind the sudden growth and popularity of ransomware through the in-depth study of literature and efforts made by experts globally in understanding ransomware and how to fight and stop it. Moreover, the research seeks to bring together the collective professionals' views and recommendations on how to set up strategic defense in-depth for fighting against ransomware.
The Usage Analysis of Machine Learning Methods for Intrusion Detection in Software-Defined Networks
Authors: Yiltas-Kaplan Derya
Published: December 2018

This chapter focuses on the process of the machine learning with considering the architecture of software-defined networks (SDNs) and their security mechanisms. In general, machine learning has been studied widely in traditional network problems, but recently there have been a limited number of studies in the literature that connect SDN security and machine learning approaches. The main reason of this situation is that the structure of SDN has emerged newly and become different from the traditional networks. These structural variances are also summarized and compared in this chapter. After the main properties of the network architectures, several intrusion detection studies on SDN are introduced and analyzed according to their advantages and disadvantages. Upon this schedule, this chapter also aims to be the first organized guide that presents the referenced studies on the SDN security and artificial intelligence together.

Authors: Calonge David Santandreu , Riggs Karina M. , Shah Mariam Aman , Cavanagh Tim A.
Published: December 2018

Academic research in the past decade has indicated that using data and analyzing learning in curriculum design decisions can lead to improved student performance and student success. As learning in many instances has evolved into the flexible format online, anywhere at any time, learning analytics could potentially provide impactful insights into student engagement in massive open online courses (MOOCs). These may contribute to early identification of “at risk” participants and provide MOOC facilitators, educators, and learning designers with insights on how to provide effective interventions to ensure participants meet the course learning outcomes and encourage retention and completion of a MOOC. This chapter uses the essential human biology MOOC within the Australian AdelaideX initiative to implement learning analytics to investigate and compare demographics of participants, patterns of navigation including participation and engagement for passers and non-passers in two iterations of the MOOC, one instructor-led, and second self-paced.
Graduate Online Pedagogy
Authors: Chadha Anita
Published: December 2018

Guided by research, thoughtfully designed online spaces can promote critical reflection of content among students. This chapter addresses the use of a purposefully designed academic website as a means to engage graduate students with each other, their advisor, and with their research. Using a mixed methods approach, student peer exchanges were evaluated on a collaborative website among students, and this study concluded that websites built with the specific purpose for academic peer deliberation create spaces where students can dialogue and learn from each other. Multiple levels of engagement were found in that students deliberate, challenge, clarify, and defend their positions while pushing their peers to do the same. This chapter provides evidentiary proof that online spaces using a peer interactive design can simulate a graduate seminar where content is academically deliberated while building relationships with peers, their advisor, and providing a space for vigorous research, each of these necessary components in graduate education.
Examining Restorative Justice in PK12 With a Lens Through Kohlberg's Theory
Authors: Sytsma Cindy , Pacis Dina
Published: December 2018

Restorative justice serves to facilitate juvenile offenders in taking responsibility for their actions via dialogue with victim, victim's family, and community. In the PK12 setting, this model uses classroom circles to set academic goals, explore curriculum, develop core values, fairness communities, and peer juries to talk with students about causes and identify positive issues to repair the harm done. Kohlberg's theory informs the use and implementation of restorative justice with its six stages of moral development. This chapter will examine Kohlberg's theory coupled with restorative justice at the PK12 level. The application of these philosophies may lead to early development of positive decision making, value of self, good communication skills, and ethical problem solving. By establishing these psychological/sociological foundations in early childhood, children may be able to secure friendly relationships and orient more easily towards fixed rules.

Authors: Bhavsar Sejal Atit , Pandit Brinda Yeshu , Modi Kirit J.
Published: December 2018

Internet of things has gathered significance within the latest technology domain and trends. As a result, it offers greater ways of accessing data and utilizing intelligent systems. IoT applications are developed for specific scenarios (i.e., smart home, smart transportation, smart agriculture, e-health, etc.). Such IoT applications are inefficient for sharing data and knowledge through services. This results in an inefficient exploitation of different IoT service applications. Social internet of things (SIoT) has efficient and effective ways to support these kinds of services. A concept of social internet of things has been proposed in this chapter in order to support efficient data sharing. This chapter explores related work and literature study on social internet of things, concentrates on mapping IoT with SIoT, and describes a possible architecture for SIoT, components, layers and processes of SIoT. It also illustrates applications, where SIoT can be used, and at the end, the authors provide a few challenges related to SIoT.
Is Supply Chain Finance the Solution to the Financing Conundrum?
Authors: Niu Baozhuang , Mu Zihao , Zeng Youchu
Published: December 2018

Small and medium-sized enterprises are the major driving forces to boost China's economic growth. However, the transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises are always subject to the scale of operation and other factors, which result in severe impediment to obtain loans or other finance service from traditional commercial banks. As the State Council reports, small and medium-sized enterprises' finance troubles were highlighted at the State Council's executive meeting and suggested China should enrich the fundraising channels for small and medium-sized enterprises. Based on the unique finance service features, supply chain finance has the potential of satisfying the large finance demand to become an effective fundraising and other finance service channel for small and medium-sized enterprises. Thus, it is vital to explore the operation process of supply chain finance in a deeper level.
Analysis of Sustainable Development Path for Green Finance
Authors: Feng Hsu Chao , Ru Lee Bi
Published: December 2018

The development of green finance is a global trend in the current era. At present, developing the green finance has been included as an important national development project by the Chinese government. With the rapid economic growth, the priorities or trade-offs between the economic development and the natural environment have also aroused different contradictions and problems. With the improvement of people's quality of life, they start to pay more attention to the pollution of the surrounding environment. Therefore, the government should properly intervene and propose effective measures, and green finance is an excellent tool to reconcile social economy and environmental protection and transform the physical investment, thus guiding the social resources towards the environmental protection industry and reaching an optimal interests allocation among the market, society, and government. Consequently, in the face of such a situation, it is necessary to propose a series of models and paths that suit the needs of the Chinese society and promote sustainable development.
Chinese Internet Finance Credit Investigation Issue and Legal Countermeasures
Authors: Liu Cheng-Yong , Chen Ruey-Cheng
Published: December 2018

In recent years there has been a phenomenon of “Thirst for Credit Investigation Information” within China's internet finance industry. To compensate for the new credit investigation demands that traditional measures of credit investigation lack, big data credit investigation has been widely recognized as a viable solution. Big data credit investigation however poses greater risks to the rights and interests of the information subject. In order to solve the existing problems associated with the data credit investigation industry, the author advocates that special laws and regulations be revised or formulated on the basis of balancing the rights and interests of the information subject with those of public interests. In the future, the combination of big data credit investigation system with blockchain technology may effectively solve the problems that are harmful to the rights and interests of the information subject, such as information-isolated island and information security.
The Role of Banks in Renewable Energy Finance
Authors: Baştürk Meryem Filiz
Published: December 2018

In today's world, global warming and environmental problems resulting from fossil waste have directed economies' attention to renewable energy. Renewable energy has become quite important to developing countries, in particular those that depend on foreign energy sources and confront continuously increasing energy demand since they need renewable energy to be able to achieve their goal of sustainable growth and do this without destructing the environment and by reducing their foreign dependency. Higher costs of renewable energy investment when compared to traditional energy investment affect the investment made in this field, though. The fundamental problem in renewable energy investment is how to finance it as it is not economically rational to invest in sectors with high costs. This chapter explores the role of banks in financing renewable energy by focusing on Turkey.

Nonlinear Effect of Financial Efficiency and Financial Competition on Heterogeneous Firm R&D
Authors: Du Min Xiao , Wang Yu , Gao Yang , Chen Bei Bei , Tsai Sang-Bing
Published: December 2018

Green finance focuses on the coherence and sustainability of finance. This chapter studies the influence of financial scale, financial efficiency, and financial competition on enterprise R&D investment, which includes the different side effects of financial quantity and quality, and to some extent reflects the coherence and sustainability of financial development. The authors use manufacturing company data, regional financial quantity, and quality indicators from 2005 to 2007. The results reveal that (1) less developed area enterprises, or low- and medium-technology enterprises, a large amount of financial quantity expansion cannot support the R&D activities of high innovation efficiency, and (2) financial efficiency and financial competition have a nonlinear effect on firm R&D. Low financial efficiency leads to a lack of efficient firm R&D financial development. The results of the chapter reveal a crucial approach to improve the effect of financial inefficiency on firm R&D by changing from merely expanding financial quantity to improving quality instead.

Cooperative Discussions for Critical Thinking
Authors: Hartsfield Danielle E. , Maxwell Nicole , Jones Jennie L. , Hilaski Danielle
Published: December 2018

Cooperative discussions are useful for several reasons, including engaging students in course content, building their communication and social skills, and adding variety to instruction. However, cooperative discussions are also an important means of developing students' critical thinking abilities because students must consider multiple perspectives, justify their points using evidence, and evaluate their own and their peers' thinking. This chapter offers a theoretical rationale for using cooperative discussion protocols in the pre-service university classroom, as well as tips for planning and assessing discussions. Additionally, multiple discussion protocols, including protocols for activating prior knowledge, text-based discussions, and deeper learning, are described using actual examples from the authors' experience as teacher educators.
Critical Thinking in Collaborative Video Annotations
Authors: Howard Craig D.
Published: December 2018

Collaborative video annotation (CVA) combines media affordances to support critical thinking. A discourse analysis of preservice teachers' annotations in the process of a video-mediated observation of expert teaching revealed that critical judgements co-occurred with higher order thinking (HOT); however, criticism correlated less often with HOT than positive judgements of expert teacher practices. One hundred forty-one learners' small group discussions in CVA showed HOT annotations devoid of all judgment were the most frequent, and of HOT annotations that did contain criticism, applications of knowledge co-occurred most often with critical judgments, while analysis co-occurred most often with positive judgements, and intellectual modesty with mixed criticism. Results suggest that designs aimed at supporting critical thinking might benefit from expanded explanations of the purpose of observations and scaffolds to support the withholding of criticism.

Authors: Conway IV Basil , Lilly Kristin
Published: December 2018

The following chapter describes the creation and implementation of a “Content Underpinnings” course for graduate students in middle grades statistics that required students to complete a teaching for social justice lesson in a K-12 classroom. The content underpinnings course consisted of three major goals that promoted critical thought: critical race theory (CRT) and teaching for social justice (TSJ), statistical pedagogical content knowledge, and statistical content knowledge. A review of research related to each these goals is integrated with student implementation of a CRT/TSJ lesson, along with details on how this research guided the course creation and implementation. Implications and suggestions for including CRT and TSJ in mathematics are suggested as a tool to promote equity, access, and empowerment for democracy in teacher education.

Authors: Kostina Olga Andreevna
Published: December 2018

В данной работе изучаются оценки хроматических чисел
сфер. Исследуется оптимальность выбора параметров
линейно-алгебраического метода, применяемого для
получения этих оценок. Для случая $(0,1)$-векторов
показано, что параметры, выбранные в предыдущих
результатах, дают наилучшую оценку. Для случая
$(-1,0,1)$-векторов найдены оптимальные значения
параметров, за счет чего существенно улучшены ранее

Точное значение немонотонной сложности булевых функций
Authors: Kochergin Vadim Vasil'evich , Mikhailovich Anna Vital'evna
Published: December 2018

Исследуется задача о сложности реализации булевых функций схемами
в бесконечных полных базисах, содержащих все монотонные функции,
имеющие при этом нулевой вес (стоимость использования) и
конечное число немонотонных функций единичного веса.
Для сложности реализации булевых функций в случае,
когда единственным немонотонным элементом базиса является
отрицание, исчерпывающее описание было получено А. А. Марковым:
минимальное число отрицаний,
достаточное для реализации произвольной булевой функции $f$
(инверсионная сложность функции $f$),
равно $\lceil\log_{2}(d(f)+1)\rceil$, где $d(f)$ - максимальное
(максимум берется по всем возрастающим цепям
наборов значений переменных) число изменений значений функции с 1
на 0. В данной работе этот результат обобщен на случай вычисления
булевых функций над произвольным базисом $B$ указанного вида.
Установлено, что минимальное число немонотонных функций,
достаточное для вычисления произвольной булевой функции $f$,
равно $\lceil\log_{2}(d(f)/D(B)+1)\rceil$,
где $D(B)=\max d(\omega)$; максимум берется
по всем немонотонным функциям $\omega$ базиса $B$.

La excepción que confirma la regla: la ausencia de mujeres relevantes para la literatura española en los manuales escolares
Authors: Grana Gil Isabel , Lara Pastor Natalia
Published: December 2018

Los libros de texto tienen una importante carga ideológica que influye en la construcción de identidades del alumnado, y el invisibilizar a las mujeres que han formado parte de la historia o fragmentar la realidad con la ausencia de las mismas, es un hecho que actualmente se puede observar en los manuales escolares. Este artículo trata de mostrar que las mujeres relevantes de la literatura española no fueron una excepción, sino que eran reconocidas por la calidad de sus obras, pero no sabemos nada de ellas porque el sexismo existente las ocultó entonces y la falta de igualdad actual las invisibiliza hoy. En las siguientes líneas se justifica la necesidad de incluir más mujeres en los libros de texto como parte de las distintas etapas literarias teniendo en cuenta las pocas mujeres en la literatura española que aparecen en los manuales escolares andaluces desde el siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, con el objetivo de favorecer el desarrollo integral de los jóvenes.
Integrando formación e investigación sobre la transversalidad de los ODS: Género y salud, dimensiones esenciales de la sostenibilidad
Authors: Bernis Carro Cristina
Published: December 2018

Desde nuestra experiencia en Ecología Humana y Bio Antropología, hemos investigado las consecuencias del cambio ambiental sobre la brecha de género y la salud sexual y reproductiva en las diferentes etapas del ciclo vital, analizando poblaciones que ocupan muy diferentes tipos de socio-ecosistemas. En 2015, coincidiendo con el lanzamiento desde UN del Programa 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible, iniciamos una nueva investigación “Mujeres, Diversidad Biocultural y Sostenibilidad (2016-2020)”, con tres objetivos principales: Identificar las dimensiones e indicadores de género, salud y de otros determinantes de la sostenibilidad; trabajar desde la Universidad, con asociaciones científicas y ONGD; proporcionar una herramienta virtual, (Museo virtual de Ecología Humana), como un recurso educativo abierto a colaboraciones externas. Tres años después, reflexionamos aquí sobre los primeros resultados obtenidos, con especial referencia al Museo virtual de Ecología Humana.
Mujer y Ciencia: dos revoluciones del siglo XXI

Published: December 2018

Este artículo pretende reflejar de forma fiel la preocupación y compromiso con la Mujer y con la Ciencia del Consell Valencià de Cultura, con el fin de ser una institución útil, comprometida, reflexiva y crítica ante la construcción de valores sociales y acciones políticas que ayuden a la construcción de una sociedad más justa e igualitaria. Lo que aquí firmo como consejera de esa institución son extractos y manifestaciones aprobadas por el pleno de la institución, y que, evidentemente, comparto en su totalidad o he sido redactora de muchas de esas aportaciones.
Políticas públicas de género: implementación de la Institucionalidad de Género en universidades de habla hispana
Authors: Ramírez Saavedra Francisca
Published: December 2018

La Institucionalidad de Género se implementa por medio de diferentes mecanismos institucionales, como ministerios, oficinas, centros, organizaciones, encargados de la puesta en marcha efectiva de políticas públicas orientadas a disminuir las brechas de género. Las universidades también han implementado estas políticas a través de sus oficinas o unidades de género correspondientes. En el contexto chileno, el 8.6% del total de universidades nacionales han tomado algún tipo de medida para hacer frente a los problemas de inequidad y sólo la Universidad de Chile cuenta con una oficina establecida con más de tres años de trayectoria. Sin embargo, este porcentaje es bajo en comparación con España, con un 54.2% y Argentina con un 22.7% de sus universidades que ejecutan explícitamente esta política pública. En este contexto es que se investigó sobre la creación e implementación de Oficinas de Género de universidades de habla hispana y se compararon las principales perspectivas de la estructura organizacional involucradas en este proceso.
Educando para la equidad de género en la formación científica y profesional
Authors: Rosado Castillo Ana María
Published: December 2018

Una estrategia para construir equidad en el acceso a la carrera científica es practicar una didáctica dirigida a fomentar en las alumnas mayor participación en actividades científicas. Se presentan las experiencias de cuatro docentes de Medicina y Psicología de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza-UNAM. Algunas características de su práctica son: una didáctica crítica no tradicional que fomenta la participación continua de las jóvenes; recursos que fomentan el uso en el aula de situaciones de la realidad cotidiana; crear espacios durante la actividad educativa que propicia la reflexión crítica, y motivar a los y las estudiantes a analizar la experiencia propia ubicando las causas de sus problemas, orientando a no dejarse vencer por los obstáculos sino a plantearse metas que les permitan superarse y empoderarse.
La animación a la lectura y la literatura infantil y juvenil a través de proyectos de fomento a la lectura: el caso de Eslovenia
Authors: Sifrar Kalan Marjana , Pregelj Barbara
Published: December 2018

La literatura infantil y juvenil (LIJ) posee un gran potencial de fomento a la lectura tanto en la lengua materna como en la extranjera, aunque su uso en las clases de ELE es escaso, si bien necesario. En este trabajo presentamos algunos proyectos basados en las estrategias de animación a la lectura de Montserrat Sarto (1998). Los proyectos se han llevado a cabo entre los jóvenes eslovenos tanto en su lengua materna como en las clases de ELE. Mientras que las estrategias de animación a la lectura, fundamentadas en el constructivismo, hacen posible la experiencia personal de la lectura y aumentan la competencia lectora y literaria tanto en lengua materna como en lengua extranjera, el uso de la LIJ en las clases de ELE aumenta el grado de autenticidad del contacto con la literatura escrita en español.
Buscándole tres pies al gato... Acerca de la enseñanza de la fraseología somática del español a los estudiantes polacos: problemas, soluciones y propuestas didácticas
Authors: Gwiazdowska Agnieszka , Lamża Zuzanna
Published: December 2018

El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar los principales problemas y dificultades en la enseñanza de la fraseología somática del español a los estudiantes universitarios polacos. En la primera parte, de carácter más bien teórico, nos centraremos en la importancia de la fraseología en el aula de ELE, esto es, presentaremos los motivos por los cuales resulta imposible prescindir de este tipo de unidades en clase. A continuación, explicaremos el concepto de fraseodidáctica, una disciplina relativamente nueva, que ya se ha convertido en un campo de estudio independiente, así como presentaremos brevemente los objetivos principales que pretenderemos conseguir con el proyecto de investigación más amplio (“Fraseología somática en ejercicios. Lengua española. Lengua francesa. Lengua italiana”) que llevamos a cabo en la Universidad de Silesia. En la segunda parte de nuestro trabajo, de carácter aplicado, primero nos centraremos en los problemas de índole formal o estructural, después pasaremos por las dificultades semánticas y, finalmente, enfocaremos nuestra atención en la faceta pragmática de las unidades fraseológicas (en adelante, UF), esto es, en sus funciones discursivas. Dicho de otro modo, ofreceremos consideraciones metodológicas concretas con interesantes implicaciones didácticas, que, según nuestra experiencia profesional, mejor responden a las necesidades de los estudiantes que pretenden desarrollar su competencia fraseológica.
