Furtive Encryption: Power, Trust, and the Constitutional Cost of Collective Surveillance
Authors: Vagle Jeffrey
Published: October 2018

Recent revelations of heretofore secret U.S. government surveillance programs have sparked national conversations about their constitutionality and the delicate balance between security and civil liberties in a constitutional democracy. Among the revealed policies asserted by the National Security Agency (NSA) is a provision found in the “minimization procedures” required under section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. This provision allows the NSA to collect and keep indefinitely any encrypted information collected from domestic communications — including the communications of U.S. citizens. That is, according to the U.S. government, the mere fact that a U.S. citizen has encrypted her electronic communications is enough to give the NSA the right to store that data until it is able to decrypt or decode it.Through this provision, the NSA is automatically treating all electronic communications from U.S. citizens that are hidden or obscured through encryption — for whatever reason — as suspicious, a direct descendant of the “nothing-to-hide” family of privacy minimization arguments. The ubiquity of electronic communication in the United States and elsewhere has led to the widespread use of encryption, the vast majority of it for innocuous purposes. This Article argues that the mere encryption by individuals of their electronic communications is not alone a basis for individualized suspicion. Moreover, this Article asserts that the NSA’s policy amounts to a suspicionless search and seizure. This program is therefore in direct conflict with the fundamental principles underlying the Fourth Amendment, specifically the protection of individuals from unwarranted government power and the establishment of the reciprocal trust between citizen and government that is necessary for a healthy democracy.

Authors: Kouchaki Mohammad , Ghajari Somayyeh
Published: October 2018

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of human resources development in the field of scientific research. The statistical population in this study was 250 employees of faculty members of Shahid Rajaee college of Kashan. Of these, 180 cases were selected through a Grigose and Morgan table using simple random sampling. Data were collected through researcher-made questionnaires and simple random sampling. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and regression analysis using SPSS software. The validity of the research questions was verified by using content validity and confirmatory factor analysis method and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha. The results and findings of the research indicate that the correlation coefficient between the intellectual factors and the scientific discourse is significant. Therefore, the first sub hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between intellectual factors and scientific discourse, the confirmation of the correlation coefficient between the attitudinal factors and scientific discourse is significant. There is a meaningful and positive relationship between attitudinal factors and scientific discourse (r = 0.758), correlation coefficient between job factors and scientific discourse is significant. There is a significant and positive relationship between job and academic discourse (r = 0.756). The finding of correlation coefficient between behavioral factors and scientific discourse is significant. There is a meaningful and positive relationship between behavioral factors and scientific discourse (r = 0.756). Correlation coefficient between perceptual factors and scientific discourse is significant. There is a significant and positive relationship between perceptual factors and scientific discourse (r = 0.221), based on the determination coefficient (2 r), 10.8% of the variance among the perceptual factors and the scientific discourse of the collaborative staff. Therefore, the fifth hypothesis is found that there is a meaningful relationship between the perceptual factors in the field of human resource development in the field of scientific education.
The Future Strikes Back. Using Future Treatments to Detect and Reduce Hidden Bias
Authors: Elwert Felix , Pfeffer Fabian T.
Published: October 2018

Conventional advice discourages controlling for post-outcome variables in regression analysis. Here, we show that controlling for commonly available post-outcome (i.e. future) values of the treatment variable can help detect, reduce, and even remove omitted variable bias (unobserved confounding). The premise is that the same unobserved confounders that affect treatment also affect future values of the treatment. Future treatments thus proxy for the unmeasured confounder, and researchers can exploit these proxy measures productively. We establish several new results: Regarding a commonly assumed data-generating process involving future treatments, we (1) introduce a simple new approach to reduce bias and show that it strictly reduces bias; (2) elaborate on existing approaches and show that they can increase bias; (3) assess the relative merits of approaches; (4) analyze true state dependence and selection as key challenges; and (5) demonstrate that future treatments can test for hidden bias, even when they fail to reduce bias. We illustrate these results empirically with an analysis of the effect of parental income on children’s educational attainment.

Authors: Yadav Pramod Kumar
Published: October 2018

Two transition metal coordination polymers [Zn(4,4′-ADA)(bpy)]n (1) and [Cd(4,4′-ADA)(bpy)(H2O)2]n (2) have been assembled from azobenzene-4,4′- dicarboxylic acid (H2ADA) with the help of 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) ligand. The different molecular structures for complexes 1 and 2 formed from the same ligand (H2ADA) reveals the fact that organic linkers display different coordination preferences at different metal ions.

PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP INDUSTRI TEKSTIL DAN PRODUK TEKSTIL DALAM NEGERI MELALUI TINDAKAN PENGAMANAN (SAFEGUARD) DI INDONESIA RELEVANSINYA DENGAN MEA 2015
Authors: Setiawan Agus
Published: October 2018

Pengamanan perdagangan (safeguard) terhadap industri tekstil dan produk tekstil dalam negeri dalam perundang-undangan di Indonesia saat ini masih belum efektif memberikan kemajuan yang besar bagi industri tekstil dan produk tekstil dalam negeri.Hal ini terlihat dari masih kurang dapat bersaingnya produk tekstil Indonesia di pasar internasional. Tindakan pengamanan (safeguard) berfungsi untuk melindungi industri dalam negeri dari ancamankerugian ataupun kerugian atas terjadinya lonjakan impor. Namun, menurut aturan ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) tidak diperbolehkan lagi melakukan perlakuan yang berbeda terhadap produk dalam negeri dengan produk asing.Hal ini lah yangmenimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai peraturan di Indonesia yang mengatur tentangtindakan pengamanan perdagangan (safeguard).
PERTANGGUNGJAWABAN PIDANA KORPORASI PERBANKAN
Authors: Yohana Yohana , Sahari Alpi
Published: October 2018

Korporasi merupakan badan hukum yang memiliki organ yang menjalankan usahanya. Organ tersebut terdiri dari pengurus dan pegawai korporasi yang memiliki tugas dan fungsi masing-masing. Korporasi dapat dipersalahkan apabila kesengajaan atau kealpaan terhadap perbuatan pada orang-orang yang menjadi alat perlengkapannya. Kesalahan tersebut bukan individual akan tetapi kolektif, karena korporasi menerima keuntungan. Penempatan korporasi sebagai subjek dalam hukum pidana tidak lepas dari perbuatan sosial. Bank sebagai korporasi memiliki pertanggungjawaban pidana atas kegiatan pemberian kredit yang dilakukan oleh bankirnya. Hal ini terjadi apabila kegiatan pemberian kredit  telah dilaksanakan sesuai dengan aturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku, dianalisis sesuai dengan prinsip kehati-hatian, dimaksudkan semata-mata untuk kepentingan bank tersebut, banker tidak mempergunakan penyaluran fasilitas kredit untuk keuntungan diri sendiri, dan banker dimaksud dalam menganalisis telah bertindak professional dan telah melaksanakan tugasnya sesuai dengan keahlian yang dimilikinya. Pertanggungjawaban pidana bagi korporasi di bidang perbankan dapat diterapkan, terutama apabila undang-undang di bidang perbankan itu sendiri telah mengaturnya
ANALISIS HUKUM PEMBERIAN REMISI TERHADAP NARAPIDANA DI LEMBAGA PEMASYARAKATAN KLAS II A BINJAI
Authors: Adi Sastro Heru Prabowo
Published: October 2018

Pemberian remisi kepada narapidana merupakan perintah dari Undang-undang sebagai rangsangan agar narapidana bersedia menjalani pembinaan untuk merubah perilaku sesuai dengan tujuan Sistem Pemasyarakatan.Namun dalam pengawasannya yang melibatkan lembaga atau instansi di luar daripada Lembaga Pemasyarakatan tidak disertai dengan adanya suatu peraturan yang tegas dalam pelaksanaannya.Hal ini mengakibatkan adanya hambatan-hambatan yang justru mempersulit pemberian remisi kepadanarapidana.Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui Pengawasan Pemberian Remisi Terhadap Narapidana di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Klas II A Binjai.Adapun sifat penelitian adalah yuridis normatif. Bahan kepustakaan dan studi dokumen dijadikan sebagai bahan utama sementara data lapangan akan dijadikan sebagai data pendukung atau pelengkap. Data yang terkumpul dipilah dan dianalisis secara yuridis dan terhadap data yang sifatnya kualitatif ditafsirkan secara logis sistematis dengan metode deduktif dan induktif.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan pemberian remisi kepada narapidana mengalami pergeseran baik dari pengertian, kriteria maupun tujuannya.Menurut ketentuan, remisi aslinya adalah hak narapidana, bergeser menjadi semacam hadiah yang diberikan oleh pemerintah, dan terakhir bergeser menjadi ajang/arena jual beli kepentingan.Akibat pergeseran tersebut, terjadi pengaburan terhadap aturan-aturan hukum pemberian remisi yang secara otomatis berdampak pada pengawasannya.Selain itu, pelaksanaan pemberian remisi merupakan suatu hak narapidana dan juga sebagai rangsangan agar narapidana bersedia menjalani pembinaan untuk merubah perilaku sesuai dengan tujuan Sistem Pemasyarakatan. Sistem pengawasan pemberian remisi di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan melibatkan Lembaga Pemasyarakatan yang dilakukan mulai dari Unit Pelaksana Teknis Pemasyarakatan, Kantor Wilayah Kementerian Hukum dan HAM untuk diteruskan kepada Direktorat Jenderal Pemasyarakatan, juga melibatkan Hakim Pengawas dan Pengamat. Hambatan yang dihadapi dalam pemberian remisi adalah belum adanya sarana peraturan perundang-undangan dan peraturan pelaksanaan sebagai payung hukum yang kuat yang merupakan landasan yuridis dan strukturil sebagai penunjang atau dasar bagi ketentuan-ketentuan operasionil suatu pengawasan pemberian remisi yang berlaku bagi semua pihak yang terlibat dalam pengawasan pemberian remisi, disamping adanya tindakan indisipliner dari narapidana, sehingga diupayakan untuk melaksanakan semaksimal mungkin peraturan perundang- undangan dan peraturan pelaksanaan ketentuan operasionil suatu pengawasan pemberian remisi khususnya yang terdapat di dalam Undang-Undang Pemasyarakatan.
Pain, Stress and Anxiety of Chronic Pain Patients Prior to, During and After Political Turmoil in Thailand
Authors: Nimmaanrat Sasikaan
Published: October 2018

Objective: Thailand was plagued with serious political turmoil for many years. We would like to know whether this turmoil has had an impact on our chronic pain patients in terms of intensity of pain, stress and anxiety, as well as daily living and sleep.Material and Methods: Patients with at least 3 months of pain prior to 31 October 2013 (the date that the demonstrations started) were enrolled in this study. The data were collected from the patients who attended our pain clinic from December 2014 to May 2015. The patients were asked to complete a questionnaire on their severity of pain, stress and anxiety for the 3 different stages: prior to the demonstrations (period 1), during the demonstrations (period 2) and under military dictatorship or after the demonstrations (period 3).Results: There were 120 patients, 49 males (40.8%) and 71 females (59.2%). The mean age was 56.3±15.8 years old (range 18-88). The majority were Buddhist (108 patients, 90.0%) while 11 patients (9.2%) were Muslim and 1 patient (0.8%) was Christian. The mean duration of pain prior to the beginning of the demonstrations was 62.8 months (range 3-324 months). Regarding the pain score, the mean maximum pain score was significantly different between periods 1 (8), 2 (7.7) and 3 (6.8) (p-value<0.001). Regarding the anxiety score, the mean maximum anxiety score was significantly different between periods 1 (3.8), 2 (4.8) and 3 (2.9) (p-value=0.03). Regarding the stress score, the mean maximum stress score was significantly different between periods 1 (3.8), 2 (4.4) and 3 (2.8) (p-value=0.02). Using multiple logistic regression analysis, no factors (gender, age, religious, duration of pain and levels of anxiety and stress) were found to have contributed to the reduction of pain intensity.Conclusion: The demonstrations during the political turmoil did not increase the severity of pain but led to higher levels of stress and anxiety. On the other hand, under the military dictatorship, lower pain scores as well as stress and anxiety levels in chronic pain patients attending our pain clinic have been found.
Community–University Health Research Partnerships
Authors: Page-Reeves Janet , Regino Lidia
Published: October 2018

Abstract

In recent years, there have been positive changes to the health research landscape, with increasing interest amongst community organisations and university investigators in establishing research partnerships and with more funding opportunities for community-engaged work. However, creating a community–university partnership requires new skills, new types of knowledge, and new ways of creating and maintaining relationships. On both sides of the research equation, people are looking for guidance. The discussion here uses our experience to offer concrete tips in plain language for strategies that can be used to build capacity for community–university partnerships for organisations and researchers in pre-partnership and early partnership stages. We comment on debates about epistemology and knowledge production in research and how anthropologists are well positioned to contribute to this process.
Too Little, Too Late?
Authors: Milanés Lilian , Mishtal Joanna
Published: October 2018

Abstract

Scholarship and advocacy work regarding reproductive health have often focused on women’s experiences. Concerns about men’s sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRH) have historically been on the margins in this context. In the United States, young men are at the greatest risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), yet are the least likely to seek SRH. Based on research with 18 healthcare providers in a large public Florida university clinic, we examined providers’ perspectives about expanding men’s SRH provision and utilisation. Research findings demonstrate inconsistent provider strategies in treating men’s SRH needs and a clinical environment that has low expectations of men receiving preventive care, further perpetuating the placement of SRH responsibility upon women. This article contributes to applied and medical anthropology scholarship on health inequalities through its discussion of the challenges and barriers that contribute to poor SRH for young men and the critical role of providers in this context.
A PROBLEMATIZAÇÃO DA PESQUISA CONFRONTADA COM O IMAGINÁRIO DO PESQUISADOR
Authors: XYPAS CONSTANTIN
Published: October 2018

De acordo com Durkheim (1894; 1897), Dewey (1938), Bachelard (1953) e Bourdieu (1997), toda pesquisa precisa produzir um novo saber. Porém, isso depende não só da metodologia e da fundamentação teórica, mas antes de tudo, da maneira de pensar o problema. Ora, a problematização, já bastante difícil para os pesquisadores experientes, se torna mais difícil para os mestrandos e doutorandos. Pensando nestes e em seus orientadores, o presente artigo visa a responder as seguintes perguntas: Em que consiste a atividade da problematização? Em que fonte o pesquisador baseia a problematização da sua pesquisa? A partir da nossa experiência enquanto orientador, constatamos que a principal fonte da problematização vem do imaginário do pesquisador. Daí a pergunta: Como o orientador pode lançar mão do tipo de imaginário do seu aluno para ajudá-lo? Este estudo combina as estruturas antropológicas do imaginário segundo Durand (1969), com suas dimensões sociais que são a ideologia e a utopia, no sentido de Ricoeur (1997). Nossa contribuição original consiste em propor uma tipologia do imaginário combinando as teorizações precitadas a fim de servir aos orientadores, inclusive quando percebem que o aluno está bloqueado e não consegue problematizar.

Published: October 2018

Kota masih menjadi pusat harapan bagin sebagian besar masyarakat yang tinggal di luar wilayah perkotaan. Kota di pandang sebagai wilayah yang mampu memenuhi harapan itu, oleh karena itu jumlah penduduk setiap tahun semakin bertambah. Di sisi lain jumlah peningkatan penduduk menyebabkan penambahan beban dalam menyediakan berbagai fasilitas dan akses yang lain. Selain itu karena kebijakan pembangunan kota yang kurang memperhatikan kelestarian lingkungan hidup maka menimbulkan berbagai masalah perkotaan seperti banjir, kepadatan penduduk, lingkungan yang kumuh dan kemacetan yang lainnya. Kota tidak berkembang sebagai kota yang manusiawi (humanopolis)  dan nyaman ekologi (ecopolis). Persoalan ini dapat diatasi antara lain dengan meningkatkan partisipasi dalam menciptakan budaya gaya hidup peduli lingkungan melalui peran komunikasi interper dan sosialisasi. Dengan demikian perkembangan kota diharapkan menjadi kota yang berkelanjutan (sustainability).

Kemunculan Diri Dan Peran Pemilik Industri Media Di Indonesia Dalam Kerangka Teori Strukturasi Anthony Giddens
Authors: Haryanto Ignatius
Published: October 2018

Dalam perkembangan industri media nasional dan global, pertanyaan yang banyak muncul belakangan ini mengarah pada seberapa besar peran kepentingan ekonomi dan politik yang dibawakan oleh para pemilik media (media owner) dalam menentukan isi media. Dalam era dimana kapitalisasi, komodifikasi terhadap industri media berjalan dengan demikian sangat intensif, maka pertanyaan atas kepentingan apa yang dibawakan oleh para pemilik media menjadi pertanyaan yang relevan diajukan. Sementara itu dalam masa sebelumnya pertanyaan tentang implikasi kepemilikan terhadap isi dari media belum banyak diajukan, dan dalam arti itu pula implisit suatu kerangka kerja dari industri ini yang dilihat sebagai suatu kerangka kerja yang menyangkut kepentingan publik yang lebih luas daripada sekedar membela kepentingan bisnis semata.  Dalam telaah ini hendak ditunjukkan bagaimana dan apa yang membuat media owner menjadi sesuatu yang penting untuk dilihat dalam kerangka teori tarik menarik struktur dan agen, dan dimana persisnya letak dari media owner ini, apakah ia adalah seorang penguasa struktur ataukah ia adalah seorang agen. Dengan menggunakan kerangka pemikiran strukturasi yang diajukan oleh Anthony Giddens untuk melihat bagaimana problematika yang terjadi dalam tarik menarik struktur dan agency yang ada dalam konteks perkembangan industri media pada suatu ruang dan tempat tertentu. Dengan pendekatan ini pula maka hendak ditunjukkan bagaimana asal muasal kekuasaan itu datang, dan bagaimana kemudian bisa mempengaruhi industri media itu sendiri. Hendak ditunjukkan pula problematika macam apa yang muncul dalam menjelaskan tentang landscape industri media pada masa kini, dan sekaligus juga hendak ditelaah apakah ada kelemahan dari pendekatan ini ketika ia diterapkan dalam konteks perkembangan industri media.

Authors: Sorchee Sawsan , Khatab Nasir
Published: October 2018

Background: Toxoplasmosis is a common infection in women with child

bearing age and may attribute to bad obstetric outcomes.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate IL-4, IL-5 and IL-6 levels in

women with toxoplasmosis and their relevance to this infection.

Materials and Methods: Sixty eight women were included in this study

with a history of abortion (single or repeated). They were referred to by

physicians from different hospitals and private laboratories in Erbil/ Kurdistan

region of Iraq from March 2010 until March 2011 for the detection of antitoxoplasma

antibodies and 30 healthy women were selected as control. Venous

blood samples were collected from these women; serum was obtained for

ELISA test for the detection of anti- toxoplasma IgG and IgM. Levels of IL-4,

IL-5 and IL-6 in these women were also detected.

Results: Fifty one women (75%) who had a single or repeated abortion were

infected with Toxoplasmosis and had positive ELISA tests. From those, eleven

(21.6%) had IgM, twenty five (49%) had IgG and fifteen (29.4%) had both IgM

and IgG. The levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-6 were significantly high compared to

the control.

Conclusion: Cellular immune response was highly involved during acute and

chronic Toxoplasmosis.
Breast Cancer in Iraq: A Review
Authors: Aljuboury Nemah
Published: October 2018

Globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, comprising 23% of the 1.1 million female cancers that are newly diagnosed each year. In Iraq, breast cancer is the commonest type of female malignancy, ac- counting for approximately one-third of the registered female cancers according to the latest Iraqi Cancer Registry [4]. This shows that the breast is the leading cancer site among the Iraqi population in general, surpassing even bronchogenic cancer. As proposed by the World Health Organization, early detection and screening, especially when combined with adequate therapy, offers the most immediate hope for a reduction in breast cancer mortality. The incidence of breast cancer increased in Iraq in recent years, indication a significant health problem. Actions are needed on the national level for better estimate of the problem.

Genotypes of Hepatitis C Virus in United Arab Emirates: Their Relationship with Age, Gender, Nationality, and the Severity of Liver Disease with Viral Load
Authors: Kora Seham
Published: October 2018

Background:  

          Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major global public health problem with estimate of 3% chronicity. The prevalence of HCV in Eastern Mediterranean Region was variable with a range of 1% to 14.9%. HCV infection was found to be endemic in Arab World as different studies confirmed such endemicity. Arabian Peninsula region HCV prevalence was reported as low (1-1.9) in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, while it was moderate in Yemen (2.0-2.9), high in UAE (3.0-3.9), and very high in Qatar (>4). 

 Aim of the study: 

            To study the sero-molecular epidemiology of HCV in UAE genotypes among the patients who have HCV positive antibodies and differentiate them according to their nationality in United Arab Emirates. 

Specific objectives: To: 

Determine HCV genotypes among patients who have HCV positive antibodies in UAE. 

Differentiate HCV genotypes according to their nationality, age and gender in UAE. 

Study the impact of HCV genotype and viral load on the hepatic pathology. 

Illustrate whether expatriate Egyptian are responsible for HCV prevalence increase in UAE.  

 Conclusion:  

          HCV more predominant in Egyptian than in UAE. However, Egyptian has a significant negative correlation [OR=0.085, P=0.006] with type 1, while UAE are with significant positive correlation with genotype 1 after excluding the effect of gender. Furthermore, Egyptian is 11 times susceptible for genotype 4 than for genotype 1, while the Emirati are 10 times susceptible for genotype 1 than for genotype 4. However, the genotype frequency distribution indicated that HCV infection in Emirati was with significant association with type 1 [OR=10.246; p=0.003], while OR was 0.085 in Egyptian and thus the hypothesis that presumed the increase in prevalence of HCV in Emirati was excluded. In addition, type 3 genotype was with 0% frequency in Egyptian, while it forms 63.89% as a cause of HCV infection in other nationality and thus this finding is strong evidence that exclude Egyptian a cause for increase of hepatitis C in Emirati.

Published: October 2018

Introduction: Influenza vaccination (IV) is one of the recommended measures to protect not only health workers and high-risk patients, but the whole population. The aim of the study was to evaluate adherence to the IV by nursing staff dedicated to the assistance of immunocompromised patients at the Federico II University Hospital in the last five years. Further objectives included: to identify training needs and to understand the reasons for the lack of adherence to the IV. Method: the observational study was conducted from June to September 2015; a questionnaire for nurses was administered using an online analysis module created with Google’s G-Drive platform. Results: a total of 227 questionnaires were administered with a participation rate of 67.8%. 61.3% of the sample believed in vaccinations as important tools for the reduction/elimination of diseases. In the year 2014-15, 89% of the sample did not have the flu vaccination. Over the last 5 years 20.8% said they have only been vaccinated once, 11% two or more times, while 68.2% had not been vaccinated. A need for further information was expressed by 80% of the sample. Conclusions: the absence of a company protocol and misconceptions regarding the IV seem to be the main elements that determined the results. There is the need to implement actions that can motivate operators to understand the importance of the IV, developing greater adherence.

¡Abajo los exámenes!
Authors: Bunge Mario
Published: October 2018

¿Para qué estudian casi todos los estudiantes? ¿Para aprender? No. Estudian para pasar exámenes. Y una vez que los han pasado hacen lo posible por olvidar lo antes posible lo que han aprendido. Al fin y al cabo, estudian por obligación, no por vocación. ¿Y a quién le interesa recordar información ajena a sus intereses y que no ha requerido más esfuerzo que el de memorizar, acaso sin entender, y seguramente sin profundizar?

Este artículo es parte de un trabajo que los autores vienen realizando en torno a la enseñanza de la investigación en las universidades limeñas y de los manuales que circulan en nuestro medio. De cómo están relacionados con las dificultades para pensar y escribir los trabajos de investigación, desde los trabajos prácticos o monografías hasta las tesis de graduación. Las disquisiciones muchas veces farragosas de los manuales y la omisión u olvido de pautas sencillas que posibilitarían leer pensar y escribir cualquier texto de interés nos lleva a formular algunas reflexiones y mostrar algunos ejemplos libres de toda intensión de reglas a manera de recetarios.

Authors: Esturao Carolina , Gago Galvagno Lucas G , Elgier Angel M
Published: October 2018

Para Eisenberg (2000) la empatía es una respuesta emocional que procede de la comprensión del estado o situación de otra persona y es similar a lo que la otra persona está sintiendo. La misma incluye la capacidad para diferenciar entre los estados afectivos de los demás y la habilidad para tomar una perspectiva tanto cognitiva como afectiva. Esta se ve modificada por procesos de socialización. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar los niveles de empatía en niños de 11 y 12 años de edad en función de su asistencia a instituciones educativas bajo el modelo de la pedagogía tradicional o la pedagogía Waldorf,a partir del Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Los resultados indicaron que los alumnos que asistían al establecimiento Waldorf puntuaron más alto en toma de perspectiva y preocupación empática que los alumnos que asistían al establecimiento bajo el modelo de pedagogía tradicional. Se puede concluir que las diferencias encontradas entre los alumnos de las distintas escuelas podrían deberse a los distintos modelos pedagógicos que recibieron.La escuela Waldorf hace énfasis en estimular la competencia social, por lo que esto pudo repercutir en las habilidades empáticas de los niños.

Authors: González Valeria Alejandra , Mustaca Alba Elisabeth
Published: October 2018

El consumo de drogas ilícitas como la marihuana está aumentando de manera exponencial. Se demostró en el laboratorio que el consumo de estas sustancias provoca déficit cognitivos y emocionales. Sin embargo, no se hallaron estudios sobre el efecto de la marihuana en la  memoria de trabajo (MT) con consumidores con una frecuencia media de consumo.  Ante ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue, comparar la capacidad de la MT en consumidores de  marihuana con aquellos que no lo son en 50 varones de 20 a 25 años. Los instrumentos utilizados en este estudio fueron, el Sub test de retención de dígitos de la escala de Wechsler de inteligencia para adultos y un cuestionario sociodemográfico general para recabar información sobre el inicio, forma y cantidad de consumo de marihuana. Los resultados evidencian que los no consumidores mostraron mayores puntuaciones en la MT la retención de dígitos hacia adelante, hacia atrás y en el puntaje total (p< 0,05), aunque el tamaño del efecto fue mediano.

Authors: Horna Calderón Víctor
Published: October 2018

El presente es un estudio de carácter exploratorio acerca de las cogniciones que el estudiante víctima de bullying tiene como explicación a esta forma de agresión que sufre. El principal objetivo fue determinar qué tipo de explicaciones ofrecen estos estudiantes frente al bullying, que hace que permanezcan en la situación de víctima, sin intentar modificar su condición. Se desarrolló bajo una metodología cualitativa de investigación, cuyos participantes fueron seleccionados de manera participativo-intencional, mediante la observación y entrevista como técnicas de recolección de datos y el programa ATLAS.TI para su análisis e interpretación. Como resultados se halló que los estudiantes víctimas de bullying, reconocen haberla sufrido en alguna oportunidad, pero muy pocos aceptan ser víctimas, buscando siempre alguna justificación, las cuales van desde la resignación momentánea hasta la esperanza de un final feliz como consuelo. Esta investigación representa una aproximación inicial al estudio del pensamiento de las victimas frente al bullying.
