REFLEXÕES ACERCA DA PRODUÇÃO JUDICIAL NA JUSTIÇA DA INFÂNCIA E JUVENTUDE: SOMOS MENORISTAS ENRUSTIDOS?
Authors: Vieira Júnior Enio Gentil
Published: March 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir, brevemente, a produção judicial e os discursos dos atores do sistema de justiça da infância e juventude: a prevalência da fala assistencialista e das antigas práticas tutelares como obstáculo à promoção de crianças e adolescentes à condição de sujeitos de direito em âmbito processual. Também buscar-se-á verificar o contexto da formação dos atores do sistema de justiça o (mau) uso dos metaprincípios da proteção integral e absoluta prioridade em detrimento do direito objetivado da criança e do adolescente, como fator de repetição do modelo tutelar – menorista, formalmente revogado pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente.

Além disso, com este artigo objetiva-se mensurar, especificamente nos processos de natureza familiar, a aplicação de instrumentos, como a implementação de palestras e oficinas, com abordagem sistêmica, além de outras ferramentas, que aliadas às audiências de conciliação e sessões de mediação possibilitam uma prestação jurisdicional mais eficaz e célere.
OS NOVOS RUMOS DO EFEITO VINCULANTE NO PROCESSO CIVIL BRASILEIRO E A MITIGAÇÃO DO PRINCÍPIO DO LIVRE CONVENCIMENTO DO JUIZ
Authors: Peretto Letícia Lichs Nascimento
Published: March 2019

É grande hoje a preocupação com a entrega à sociedade de um sistema processual civil que seja eficiente para garantir a realização dos direitos ameaçados de forma isonômica. Na busca de mecanismos aptos a aperfeiçoar o direito processual civil brasileiro, o novo Código de Processo Civil, dentre outros institutos, traz para o direito pátrio o sistema de precedentes com efeito vinculante. O presente estudo pretende avaliar o impacto que a força vinculante dos precedentes pode causar na valoração das provas pelo magistrado, mais especificamente no princípio do livre convencimento motivado, porquanto, ao que parece, a liberdade do juiz na formação de seu convencimento sofreu mitigação pelo novo sistema processual. O estudo proposto será levado a efeito tomando como pressuposto o método dedutivo e a pesquisa bibliográfica, com produção descritiva. Serão utilizados como fontes de pesquisa estudos recentes que abordam o problema objeto desta pesquisa.
OS DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS E A DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA NA CONSTITUIÇÃO DA REPÚBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL DE 1988
Authors: Silva Quezia Lucineia de Oliveira da , Pítsica Helena Nastassya Paschoal
Published: March 2019

Existem certos direitos que são inerentes a todos os seres humanos, direitos estes que são considerados substanciais à vida de cada indivíduo. Devido à imprescindibilidade desses direitos, torna-se necessário que haja uma maior garantia de que estes serão observados. Deste modo, ante essa necessidade de maior garantia destes direitos essenciais, passa a ser necessário que sejam positivados na Lei Maior de um país. Quando inseridos na Constituição de determinado país, estes direitos passam a ser tratados como sendo direitos fundamentais. Tal nomenclatura se dá pelo fato de que tais direitos são tão essenciais que precisam obrigatoriamente ser observados com muita cautela. Não são quaisquer direitos que entram para o rol dos fundamentais. Para se enquadrarem nesta categoria é necessário que sejam de extrema relevância, e que visem garantir uma vida digna às pessoas. Logo, pode-se dizer que o maior objetivo em positivar um direito para que esteja dentre os direitos fundamentais é assegurar o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. Em se tratando de um princípio, não basta que seja respeitado, é preciso muito mais que isso, é preciso que exista no ordenamento jurídico ferramentas que possam de fato assegurá-lo.Assim, é visando a garantia de uma vida com dignidade aos indivíduos que surgem os direitos fundamentais na Lei Maior de um país.

Achieving Inclusive Field-based Education: Results and Recommendations from an Accessible Geoscience Field Trip
Authors: Feig Anthony D , Atchison Christopher , Stokes Alison , Gilley Brett
Published: March 2019

Learners with disabilities are often denied field-based learning experiences in naturalistic disciplines. Geology can present substantial barriers due to rugged terrain in difficult-to-reach locations. In 2014, a field trip was executed with the dual purpose of 1) designing inclusion in field learning and 2) demonstrating to college faculty an accessible field experience. Direct observations of participants on the trip, as well as pre- and post-trip focus groups, illuminate the student and faculty field learning experience. Geoscience faculty have little guidance or support in understanding what disability is, how to reconcile accommodation with field-geology learning goals, and they cited instances where disability service providers acted as gatekeepers. The net effect of these ontologies is to reduce faculty empathy with, and thus their ability to be inclusive of, students with disabilities in field settings. Recommendations for teachers include taking campus disability-services administrators on field trips, opening and maintaining communications with disability service providers, and designing pedagogically sound field trips that align as much as possible to principles of universal design. An advocacy approach is described, which focuses on the students and the educational process, instead of on institutional compliance. Finally, geoscience faculty should conceptualize disability service providers as accessibility service providers.
Toward Hybridity: The Interplay of Technology, Pedagogy, and Content across Disciplines at a Small Liberal Arts College
Authors: Rust Julie
Published: March 2019

Through semi-structured interviews with sixteen faculty members representing a variety of experience levels and departments, this piece illuminates faculty theories and ideas about digital pedagogy through the conceptual lens of TPACK (Mishra & Koehler, 2006), which delineates the overlapping considerations teachers in designing learning through technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge.  Findings reveal widespread similarities in attitudes toward teaching and learning across all different departments and indicate that, while faculty members had a range of content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge inferences, the greatest tensions and successes were articulated when faculty discussed issues located at the nexus of technological knowledge, content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge.
Text Selection and Course Design: Faculty Perspectives on Critical Reading and Critical Thinking
Authors: Collins-Dogrul Julie , Saldaña Kenia
Published: March 2019

This study of sociology faculty in twelve private colleges and universities compares teaching with textbooks and alternative texts in undergraduate classes. Faculty explain that textbooks provide a breadth of material that is organized and streamlined in a way that promotes consistency across instructors, facilitates content delivery to students with a range of abilities, and reduces course preparation time. Despite these benefits, faculty have a strong preference for alternative texts. Faculty argue that readings, like monographs and journal articles, develop students’ critical reading and thinking skills. Additionally, when instructors design courses with alternative readings they use their own critical reading and critical thinking, as they critique and synthesize the literature in their discipline in order to curate texts for the syllabus and work with them in the classroom. We argue that teaching courses with alternative readings creates course experiences where students and faculty engage with a discipline together.
Cultivating a Process Approach to Writing: Student Experiences in a Developmental Course
Authors: Pacello James
Published: March 2019

Many developmental writing courses in colleges focus on teaching students isolated skills, with little emphasis on how such skills are applicable to the actual process of writing. This article focuses on capturing the perspectives of students enrolled in a developmental writing course designed around an explicit process-oriented pedagogy. The instructor assigned metacognitive tasks and aimed to be transparent with students about the purpose of all course activities and assignments. The findings point to the various ways students can learn to value and use a process approach when writing. The paper concludes with recommendations for helping both instructors and institutions foster a process-oriented writing culture in college classrooms. It also points to future research possibilities.

The present ongoing coup attempt organized in Washington is simply the latest in a series of such attempts by the U.S. government to overthrow the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela over the last two decades. It can be seen as having three interrelated motives: (1) the destruction of Venezuelan socialism, (2) regaining control of Venezuela's oil (the largest petroleum reserves in the world), and (3) reasserting U.S. hegemony over Latin America.

This study examines the impact of fiscal policy on agricultural output in Nigeria using the most recent official data. The metrics for fiscal policy is government capital expenditure and custom duties on fertilizer. The study used annual time series data obtained from CBN annual statistical bulletin, NCS, and FIRS which was found to be stationary at the order of I(1) and I(0). The order of unit root test led to the use of ARDL estimation method employed in the empirical analysis of this research work. The study found evidence of both short and long run relationship between the variables (VAO, GEX, IDMF, and ACGSF) using both Johansen co-integration and ARDL Bounds test. Although government expenditure (GEX) to agricultural sector was found to be statistically insignificant which recommend that government should increase agriculture capital expenditure to ensure that its contribution is significant. Consequently, custom duties on fertilizer (IDMF) was found to be negatively signed and significant indicating a negative impact on agricultural output. This demands that the policy makers should be prudent in the use of fiscal policy instrument in achieving its desired objective.

The global energy security is the steady system of the legal, political and economic relations allowing to support effective functioning of a world power system. International legal problems on ensuring energy security effectively can be solved only by cooperation of the states in this sphere. For ensuring effective cooperation in the international energy security the states need to develop the general legal approaches for a long-term outlook which will promote the solution of such problems as reliable providing fuel with traditional types; diversification and safety of power supply; development of nuclear power; energy saving; search of breakthrough technologies and perspective environmentally friendly power sources. In the process of consideration of these issues the main international Agreements as well as the role of the Republic Kazakhstan in international legal support of energy security on the example of bilateral agreements with the leading States of the world community have been analyzed and investigated in this article. The creation of a global system energy security system will save the world from the conflicts generated by the struggle for energy security and will contribute to the international stability as a whole. The Republic of Kazakhstan as an active participant in global economic relations is interested in strengthening energy cooperation with all states on the principles of equal partnership and mutual benefit and contributing to the implementation of breakthrough international initiatives aimed at strengthening global energy security.

Published: March 2019

Air pollution will make the city environment unhealthy and can interfere with human health, therefore one must strive to not increase air pollution. One way to reduce air pollution in cities is to reduce carbon emissions and build Green Open Spaces (GOS). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create a model for distribution of motor vehicle exhaust emissions in the city of Pekanbaru. Air pollution at a certain level can be a combination of one or more pollutants, either in the form of solids, liquids or incoming gases dispersed into the air and then spread to the surrounding environment. Further analysis of environmental factors in the form of socio-cultural, economic and ecological factors are explored in this study. Other important environmental parameters in pollutant studies are ecological factors as well. While the economic factors in question is the willingness to pay, it shows the minimum cost needed to anticipate the amount of exhaust emissions caused by motorized vehicles and calculate the economic value associated with public health. The emission of gas produced by each vehicle is below the predetermined standard quality threshold, namely LH Regulation No. 12 of 2010. Although the measurement results in Table 1 do not exceed ambient air quality standards, but the increase in a trend that can cause air quality deterioration was detected. The components in these two strategies need to get more emphasis and attention so that the existence of charcoal trading business can be sustainable. The results obtained from this study are a model of exhaust gas distribution in the form of gas emission distribution contours supported by ecological data (E), economics (E) and socio-cultural (S), especially in creating recommendation models in policy making both in the form of laws, government regulations or regional regulations, which is the simplest prerequisite for motor vehicle owners when the vehicle registration is extended. This model is better known as the E2S + H model.

Study of Process Factor Effects and Interactions in Synthesis Gas Production via a Simulated Model for Glycerol Steam Reforming
Authors: Adeniyi Adewale George , Ighalo Joshua O.
Published: March 2019

With the continual global focus in biodiesel production, a glut of glycerol (it’s by-product) is expected in the world market. One viable and proven possibility in utilising the less useful and desired glycerol as a source for the production of hydrogen via the steam reforming and water gas shift process. This study is essentially and in-depth investigation of the interaction of the key process factors and their effect on the selectivity of Hydrogen from the process. The basis of the investigation was a simulated model of the steam reforming process using ASPEN plus V8.8. Results were obtained according to the optimisation plan developed using central composite design (CCD). The variables (and range) were temperature (700 0c – 1100 0c), Pressure (0.1 atm – 1.9 atm) and steam to glycerol ratio (1 mol/mol – 12 mol/mol). The results of optimisation showed that maximum yield of H2 and minimal methanation can be obtained at a temperature of 900 0c, an STGR of 15.75 mol/mol and at atmospheric pressure. The optimum result was predicted by the simulation as H2 = 66.72 %, CO = 11.76 %, CO2 = 21.52 % and CH4 = 0 %. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to show that Hydrogen production is favoured at higher temperatures and methanation at lower temperatures respectively. A critical investigation of the factor effects and interactions for each product in the synthesis gas (dry basis) was also carried out using response surface methodology.

Published: March 2019

In this paper we present the simple process of manufacturing a spectrophotometer based on an assembly of LEGO bricks and LED lights. The procedure is simple and the cost is extremely low. Spectrophotometer’s capabilities were tested employing two analytical chemistry problems as a reference. In the first one we investigated the concentration of a blue food dye in an isotonic beverage. The results obtained are compared with those of a commercially available instrument. In the second one we searched for the concentration of two dyes present in a shampoo. The results suggest that simple DIY spectrophotometers can replace the need of purchasing expensive analytical instruments, at least for the secondary school level.
High-Temperature Flow Behaviour and Constitutive Equations for a TC17 Titanium Alloy
Authors: Shi-feng Liu , Jia-min Shi , Xiao-kang Yang , Jun Cai , Qing-juan Wang
Published: March 2019

In this study, the high-temperature deformation behaviour of a TC17 titanium alloy was investigated by isothermal hot compression tests in a wide range of temperatures (973–1223 K) and strain rates (0.001–10 s−1). Then, the constitutive equations of different phase regimes (α + β and single β phases) were developed on the basis of experimental stress-strain data. The influence of the strain has been incorporated in the constitutive equation by considering its effect on different material constants for the TC17 titanium alloy. Furthermore, the predictability of the developed constitutive equation was verified by the correlation coefficient and average absolute relative error. The results indicated that the obtained constitutive equations could predict the high-temperature flow stress of a TC17 titanium alloy with good correlation and generalization.
How Do Risk-Averse Litigants Set Contingent Fees for Risk-Neutral Lawyers?
Authors: Park Sung-Hoon , Lee Sanghack
Published: March 2019

We examine a two-stage litigation in which risk-averse litigants set contingent fees strategically for risk-neutral lawyers. In the first stage of the litigation, each litigant sets a fixed fee and a contingent fee for his lawyer. In the second stage, each lawyer exerts effort to win a lawsuit on behalf of the litigant. Employing the subgame-perfect equilibrium as a solution concept, we obtain the following results. First, if a litigant sets a higher rate of contingent fee, then the opponent follows suit and the contingent fee fraction increases in the difference in litigant’s utility between winning and losing the case. Second, changes in a litigant’s initial endowment have different effects on the contingent fee fraction depending upon litigant preferences, while an increase in the prize of the case always increases the contingent fee fraction regardless of litigant preferences.
Towards a Science of the Self: Autism, Autobiography, and Animal Behavior in Temple Grandin’sAnimals in Translation
Authors: Banerjee Mita
Published: March 2019

This paper argues that Temple Grandin’s work serves as an intervention into the very framework of ‘disability.’Animals in Translationsuggests that the minds of people living with autism are ‘wired differently’; yet, this difference, Grandin makes clear, is by no means always a disadvantage. As a scientist in animal studies and a consultant for animal behavior, Grandin claims that persons on the autism spectrum may be ideally suited for understanding the animal mind. Describing both autism and animal behavior through the discourse of neuroscience, she takes the analogy between persons with autism and animals one step further. Both animals, especially birds, and people on the autism spectrum have long succeeded in disproving assumptions about the limitations of their mental capacity. Not so long ago, Grandin reminds us, neurologists assumed that there was ‘no inside’ to the autistic mind. It has been Grandin’s life’s work, and one of her key accomplishments, to disprove this assumption.

Zum 2. Korintherbrief: Drei wichtige Parallelen zur Qumrangemeinde (Gemeinde Gottes, neuer Bund und Neuschöpfung)
Authors: Kuhn Heinz-Wolfgang
Published: March 2019

In the Second Epistle to the Corinthians Paul uses three concepts, which have very close parallels in contemporary non-Christian texts only in the writings of the Qumran community (“the community of God”, “new covenant” and the idea of new creation already in the present). Since the concept of new creation in the so-called Community Songs of 1QHa is under discussion, a thorough interpretation is of great importance, esp. of 1QHa XI 22. The “new covenant” in Paul’s letters is more than the “renewed covenant” of the Qumran community. The background of ἐκκλησία τοῦ θεοῦ is Jewish even though Hellenistic-Roman associations and political assemblies have to be discussed concerning ἐκκλησία. There is no direct acquaintance of Paul with texts of the Qumran community. The relevance of these texts for understanding Paul is found in several respects.
Genesis 2:7 in Conversation: The Exegesis of Paul, Philo, and the Hodayot
Authors: O’Connor M. John-Patrick
Published: March 2019

This article places three Jewish exegetes of Gen 2:7 in conversation—Paul, Philo, and the authors of the Hodayot. This exercise of comparative exegesis hopes to caution overly ambitious parallels between Paul and his contemporaries. When discussions of Philo or the Hodayot serve the end of clarifying Paul’s otherwise cryptic treatise on the resurrection, the results have yielded, at times, similarities between Paul and his contemporaries at the cost of evaluating each author’s critical differences. Instead, this article examines the exegesis of three Jewish readers of one text, Gen 2:7, each on his own terms, in an attempt to avoid mapping one interpreter’s exegesis onto another’s. Each of these three Jewish readers appeal to Gen 2:7 for answers related to anthropology and the afterlife. By placing Paul alongside two other Jewish readers of the same text, this article highlights their similarities while also appreciating their differences.

Symmetrical Viewpoint Representations in Face-Selective Regions Convey an Advantage in the Perception and Recognition of Faces
Authors: Flack Tessa R. , Harris Richard J. , Young Andrew W. , Andrews Timothy J.
Published: March 2019

Learning new identities is crucial for effective social interaction. A critical aspect of this process is the integration of different images from the same face into a view-invariant representation that can be used for recognition. The representation of symmetrical viewpoints has been proposed to be a key computational step in achieving view-invariance. The aim of this study was to determine whether the representation of symmetrical viewpoints in face-selective regions is directly linked to the perception and recognition of face identity. In Experiment 1, we measured fMRI responses while male and female human participants viewed images of real faces from different viewpoints (−90, −45, 0, 45, and 90° from full-face view). Within the face regions, patterns of neural response to symmetrical views (−45 and 45° or −90 and 90°) were more similar than responses to nonsymmetrical views in the fusiform face area and superior temporal sulcus, but not in the occipital face area. In Experiment 2, participants made perceptual similarity judgements to pairs of face images. Images with symmetrical viewpoints were reported as being more similar than nonsymmetric views. In Experiment 3, we asked whether symmetrical views also convey an advantage when learning new faces. We found that recognition was best when participants were tested with novel face images that were symmetrical to the learning viewpoint. Critically, the pattern of perceptual similarity and recognition across different viewpoints predicted the pattern of neural response in face-selective regions. Together, our results provide support for the functional value of symmetry as an intermediate step in generating view-invariant representations.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe recognition of identity from faces is crucial for successful social interactions. A critical step in this process is the integration of different views into a unified, view-invariant representation. The representation of symmetrical views (e.g., left profile and right profile) has been proposed as an important intermediate step in computing view-invariant representations. We found view symmetric representations were specific to some face-selective regions, but not others. We also show that these neural representations influence the perception of faces. Symmetric views were perceived to be more similar and were recognized more accurately than nonsymmetric views. Moreover, the perception and recognition of faces at different viewpoints predicted patterns of response in those face regions with view symmetric representations.
Developmental Remodeling of Thalamic Interneurons Requires Retinal Signaling
Authors: Charalambakis Naomi E. , Govindaiah Gubbi , Campbell Peter W. , Guido William
Published: March 2019

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the mouse is a model system to study the development of thalamic circuitry. Most studies focus on relay neurons of dLGN, yet little is known about the development of the other principal cell type, intrinsic interneurons. Here we examined whether the structure and function of interneurons relies on retinal signaling. We took a loss-of-function approach and crossed GAD67-GFP mice, which express GFP in dLGN interneurons, withmath5nulls (math5−/−), mutants that lack retinal ganglion cells and retinofugal projections.In vitrorecordings and 3-D reconstructions of biocytin-filled interneurons at different postnatal ages showed their development is a multistaged process involving migration, arbor remodeling, and synapse formation. Arbor remodeling begins during the second postnatal week, after migration to and dispersion within dLGN is complete. This phase includes a period of exuberant branching where arbors grow in number, complexity, and field size. Such growth is followed by branch pruning and stabilization, as interneurons adopt a bipolar architecture. The absence of retinal signaling disrupts this process. The math5−/−interneurons fail to branch and prune, and instead maintain a simple, sparse architecture. To test how such defects influence connectivity with dLGN relay neurons, we used DHPG [(RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine], the mGluR1,5agonist that targets F2 terminals. This led to substantial increases in IPSC activity among WT relay neurons but had little impact in math5−/−mice. Together, these data suggest that retinal signaling is needed to support the arbor elaboration and synaptic connectivity of dLGN interneurons.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPresently, our understanding about the development of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus is limited to circuits involving excitatory thalamocortical relay neurons. Here we show that the other principal cell type, intrinsic interneurons, has a multistaged developmental plan that relies on retinal innervation. These findings indicate that signaling from the periphery guides the maturation of interneurons and the establishment of inhibitory thalamic circuits.

Participación política juvenil en el posacuerdo: una mirada a los casos de los municipios de San Carlos y de San Francisco en el departamento de Antioquia, en Colombia
Authors: Cardona Jaramillo Jessica Julieth
Published: March 2019

El presente artículo plantea un análisis comparado entre los planes de desarrollo municipales (PDM) de 2012 y de 2016, con respecto a la participación política juvenil, en territorios que fueron escenarios del conflicto interno colombiano como los casos de los municipios de San Carlos y de San Francisco en el departamento de Antioquia. A partir de este análisis, se vinculan los resultados obtenidos en las entrevistas realizadas a los funcionarios de los planteles educativos de los municipios en estudio. Al respecto, el trabajo analiza que, si bien el acuerdo final de paz ha posibilitado en lo formal la reapertura de los mecanismos legales de participación política, este ejercicio por parte de los jóvenes de estos municipios es percibido como frágil, debido a las pocas garantías que les ofrece. Se concluye que la participación política juvenil que experimentan estos municipios corresponde a formas de ejercicio “no tradicional, la cual es percibida por los jóvenes como el mecanismo más efectivo para hacer valer su voz en medio de la sociedad.

Published: March 2019

El artículo busca abordar algunos de los alcances, problemas y cimientos teóricos y metodológicos del proceso de construcción y consolidación del Archivo Oral de Memoria de las Víctimas (Amovi) en la ciudad de Bucaramanga, en Colombia. Esta institución nace como una iniciativa académica de investigación y difusión de testimonios y otras formas de memoria de las víctimas. El Amovi pretende conservar la memoria de las víctimas del conflicto armado asentadas en la ciudad y sus alrededores, y aportar a la comprensión del referido conflicto, a la vez que busca entrar en la disputa por los sentidos y las interpretaciones del pasado reciente colombiano. El Amovi ha adelantado esta investigación desde el enfoque metodológico de la historia oral, con el objetivo de acceder a las esferas individuales y colectivas del conflicto, entendiéndolas en relación con los marcos sociales dentro de os que se producen. Se busca asimismo que las entrevistas y otros documentos producidos se constituyan en alternativas documentales válidas para los estudios sociales, al tiempo que se hace contrapeso a los relatos hegemónicos existentes. La creación del Amovi ha querido garantizar el acceso y resguardo de documentos escritos y orales, así como se protegen a los productores de estos, asumiendo la tarea de posicionar las voces de las víctimas como parte de las iniciativas de memoria en la ciudad de Bucaramanga y Colombia, mientras se enfrentan las dificultades de un conflicto armado que no cesa del todo.

Published: March 2019

El objetivo del presente estudio es diseñar un modelo de intervención psicológica en resiliencia, con enfoque cognitivo conductual, para cuidadores informales de pacientes con demencia tipo Alzheimer. Se tienen en cuenta las variables depresión, carga, resiliencia, apoyo social y estrategias de afrontamiento, consideradas en la literatura como influyentes en el rol del cuidador. Para realizar el diseño se tiene en cuenta la propuesta metodológica de Mori (2008), y para la evaluación del modelo en su estructura y proceso, la propuesta de evaluación de calidad del servicio de Donabedian (2005). Se concluye que el diseño de programas de intervención para cuidadores informales de pacientes con Alzheimer aparece como una alternativa necesaria para contrarrestar los efectos del cuidado. Este modelo brinda información necesaria para facilitar la réplica en otros contextos, y aporta los elementos requeridos para su implementación.

Las diferencias de oportunidades de género en el campo de la ciencia y tecnología son aún una brecha, a esto se suma las probables afectaciones psicológicas, emocionales que son de interés en el estudio porque analiza y relaciona de forma objetiva las implicaciones de género y riesgos por predisposición a conductas ansiosas en estudiantes de ciencia y tecnología de la universidad. Los participantes fueron de 4to. y 5to. año, de diferentes especialidades, la muestra estuvo constituida por 368 (192 mujeres y 176 hombres), que realizan actividades de investigación. Se aplicaron el cuestionario sobre Implicaciones de género y la escala del IDARE (Inventario de Ansiedad Rasgo-Estado) para medir ansiedad. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que las estudiantes participan más en actividades de investigación pero también obtienen mayores niveles de ansiedad “estado”. Se evaluó la vida familiar, el vivir solos, con familiares, tareas dentro del hogar, participación y aportes al conocimiento científico. Los estudiantes muestran mayor ansiedad “estado” al participar en círculos de estudio, por ser parte de investigaciones financiadas, frente a la paternidad y por responsabilidad económica en el hogar. Resaltar que hay claros indicios de afectaciones (ansiedad) a la salud psicológica-emocional por segregación vertical y horizontal de género.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue examinar la medida en que las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario de la orientación a la tarea y al ego (TEOSQ) resultan estables en muestras de estudiantes de educación física de España, Argentina, Colombia y Ecuador. Participaron 3376 estudiantes de educación física (1726 chicos y 1650 chicas) de colegios públicos y privados de entre 12 y 16 años (M = 14.02; DT = 1.39). Los análisis factoriales multigrupo mostraron que la estructura factorial, las cargas factoriales y los interceptos eran invariantes entre los grupos. Sin embargo, se encontraron diferencias entre las varianzas residuales. Los resultados mostraron una adecuada consistencia interna en las cuatro muestras Los hallazgos de este trabajo respaldan posteriores comparaciones interculturales utilizando el TEOSQ.

Objetivo: evaluar los factores psicosociales asociados al estrés en una muestra de profesores de una universidad privada colombiana. Método: Estudio descriptivo correlacional de una muestra intencional de 61 profesores (rango de edad 25 a 63 años; 65,6 % hombres). Se utilizaron el cuestionario de salud del paciente PHQ-9, Cuestionario de Ansiedad generalizada GAD-7, Escala de estrés percibido PSS-14 y un cuestionario sobre factores psicosociales laborales. Adicionalmente se midió la presión arterial. Resultados: El 21.3 % de los profesores presentan niveles significativos de estrés. Hay mayor necesidad de trabajar en casa, interferencia familia-trabajo y trabajo-familia en profesores con estrés, mientras que el control es menor. Cabe anotar que estos profesores también presentan mayor sintomatología emocional. El modelo final mostró que la necesidad de trabajar en casa y la interferencia familia–trabajo explican el 45,6 % de la varianza en el estrés laboral de los profesores.

El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar el nivel predictivo de las competencias socioemocionales sobre la resiliencia, por lo que se aplicaron el Inventario de Competencias Socioemocionales (EQi-YV) y la Escala de Resiliencia para Adolescentes (READ) a una muestra de 840 adolescentes mexicanos. Los resultados obtenidos a través de un análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, señalan que las habilidades de adaptabilidad, así como el optimismo y el autoconcepto, favorecen la competencia personal. Mientras que las competencias interpersonales y la capacidad para generar emociones positivas, predicen las competencias sociales asociadas a la resiliencia. Destaca que el manejo de emociones negativas como el enojo, pierde significancia en el modelo. Los resultados se discuten a la luz de la importancia del desarrollo positivo del adolescente.

This study was aim to analyze how representatives of LGBT NGOs perceive strategies about the inclusion of the rapid test for HIV/aids, syphilis and viral hepatitis in the LGBT scenario of Porto Alegre. It is a qualitative study in which 4 representatives were interviewed, and the interviews were analyzed through a critical analysis of discourse. The results point to a concern of the interviewees with the care strategies that are built with the test and how much they dialogue with human rights. This leads to tensions that have as a background the relations between State, LGBT movements and HIV. Ignoring political issues that permeate these relations depoliticizes a history in which the greatest advances in terms of prevention and confrontation have gone through a united response between different social actors. Building new spaces for discussion can allow new collective strategies to be considered in coping with the epidemic, prejudice and stigma.

La comunicación visual a través de Pepe Mexía y Ricardo Rendón, 1915-1930
Authors: Aldana Rincón Arcadio Alexander
Published: March 2019

El pensamiento contemporáneo occidental representado visualmente a través del arte europeo, desarrolla su máxima complejidad en las primeras décadas del siglo XX y en las principales ciudades como Londres, Paris o Berlín se consolidan posiciones transformadoras en la estética; también la forma de percepción es distinta a los decimonónicos preceptos de la tradicional Academia de Arte. Los artistas colombianos son permeables a estos cambios y el modelo europeo es una fuerte influencia en la conducta social colombiana en la primera mitad del siglo pasado. Dos artistas antioqueños, que desarrollan su trabajo en la década de los veinte y treinta, aplican características visuales conceptualmente modernas basadas en las ideas vanguardistas del arte Europeo apropiando conceptos en el contexto local y ejerciendo en medio de su producción, el oficio del Diseño Gráfico, generando manifestaciones visuales únicas y completamente originales.
