Rolé na Penha: memórias e referências culturais em uma ecologia dos sabere
Authors: Saba Ana Gabriela
Published: July 2021

O artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a ecologia dos saberes, tendo como objeto de pesquisa o projeto escolar Rolé na Penha. O qual permeia as memórias locais, saberes e referências culturais do bairro, dos alunos e dos professores, observando-o enquanto experiência e narrativa do cotidiano escolar, em uma perspectiva da pedagogia crítica. O Projeto é oriundo de uma escola de comunidade periférica na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, onde a educação configura um importante espaço de diálogo no combate às desigualdades sociais, em uma perspectiva decolonial, em que cada indivíduo tem o direito de assumir o seu lugar enquanto sujeito com toda a sua história e opções que lhes são peculiares.

O que você esconde? Caminhos para uma decolonização do “universalismo sem corpo”
Authors: Florencio Thiago De Abreu e Lima
Published: July 2021

Este artigo discute criticamente, em diálogo com Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon e alguns autores decoloniais, a ideia do “universalismo sem corpo”. Trata-se de um princípio epistemológico fundamentado na lógica disjuntiva entre sujeito e objeto, mente e corpo, que acompanha a constituição do capitalismo colonial. Nesse princípio, o colonizador se inscreve enquanto sujeito universal incorpóreo ao tempo que o “outro” é objetificado, reduzido à sua existência particular e corporal. Tendo em vista esse paradigma ocidental que afasta o corpo dos processos de subjetivação e construção de saberes, proponho um caminho experimental de “escrita despacho”, cujo princípio é acionar um pensamento atravessado pelas forças vitais do corpo, de modo que rompa com as amarras de uma pedagogia incorpórea que atravessa a cidade e seus monumentos, as escolas e seus métodos escriptocêntricos.
Ensinar histórias menores: narrativas e memórias de auxiliares de serviços gerais escolares na busca de relações outras
Authors: Paladini Piazza Maria Cecília , Santana Giovanna
Published: July 2021

Este artigo dialoga com narrativas de quatro mulheres auxiliares de serviços gerais de uma escola estadual no município de Araranguá, Santa Catarina. O objetivo de escutá-las surge como uma maneira de disseminar outra postura epistemológica em relação aos conhecimentos tradicionalmente valorizados pelos currículos oficiais,  buscando com apoio do ensino de História evidenciar suas contribuições como educadoras. O estudo se desenvolveu a partir da análise de fontes narrativas, bibliográficas e documentais. Metodologicamente está fundamentado na concepção de mônada, extraída do pensamento de Walter Benjamin, e impulsionado por leituras decoloniais. Considera-se que é possível estimular dentro da perspectiva historiográfica uma Pedagogia da Memória, com a insurgência de histórias menores em contraposição ao pensamento hegemônico da história maior, narrativa estrutural distante da realidade dos estudantes e dos sujeitos presentes na comunidade escolar.

Macumba em escola pública no interior sergipano Tranca Rua visita escola de ensino médio em tempo integral
Authors: Silva Jaime Rodrigues da , Silva Cláudia Regina Cardoso Rodrigues da , Silva Bárbara Regina Cardoso Rodrigues da
Published: July 2021

A pesquisa foi construída pela contestação que um grupo de alunos, praticantes do culto afro-brasileiro da Umbanda e do Candomblé, fizeram sobre a discriminação que sofriam em uma escola pública de EMTI no interior sergipano, após a implantação de um “Clube de Protagonismo”, intitulado “Clube da Bíblia”. Ocorre que a escola, apesar de ser um ambiente democrático e plural, não deve estimular a propagação de manifestações de uma ou outra religião, visto que a opção do país é de ser um Estado Laico (art. 5º da Constituição Federal de 1988, inciso VI). Nesse sentido, apresentamos a comunidade escolar o “Sr. Tranca Rua”, “entidade/divindade” tantas vezes marginalizada e erroneamente associada ao diabo pelos neopentecostais. Para facilitar a abordagem dos fatos e a sua análise, utilizamos Foucault (1979; 2005), Caputo (2012) e Bogdan e Biklen (1994). Perseguimos dois objetivos: o de levar para a comunidade escolar a oportunidade de conhecer – pela ótica não dominante – alguns “atores” do culto afro-brasileiro, como “Tranca Rua”; propor a reflexão da necessidade de se discutir sobre a inclusão/exclusão de seres humanos, que precisaram negar a sua crença religiosa para serem aceitos, tolerados ou ignorados por um grupo social majoritário. Iniciamos a pesquisa com a coleta das impressões que os estudantes traziam de suas interações com a divindade intitulada como “Sr. Tranca Rua”. Após a coleta e análise (abordagem qualitativa), propomos uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Apresentamos o filme Besouro e fizemos diversos encontros para estimular a oralidade dos estudantes. Novas problemáticas surgiram nos encontros, mostrando a necessidade de continuar pesquisando sobre o assunto.

Seguridad y salud en el trabajo en Ecuador
Authors: Gómez García Antonio Ramón
Published: July 2021

La República del Ecuador (en adelante Ecuador) puede ser considerada como uno de los países latinoamericanos más privilegiados por sus contrastes geográficos, variedad climática y amplia biodiversidad. La Cordillera de los Andes divide al Ecuador en tres regiones (Amazonía, Sierra y Costa del Pacífico) con marcadas diferencias culturales. Además, existen el conjunto de las Islas Galápagos como cuarta región. La población (2020) es de 17,5 millones de habitantes (51% son mujeres) y la esperanza de vida aumentará significativamente en los próximos años (2010 fue de 75 años y para el 2030 será de 80,5 años).

En contraste, los indicadores de salud, económicos y laborales muestran un paronarma preocupante. La tasa de mortalidad en los últimos años ha aumentado ligeramente, en 2014 fue de 4,1 por cada 1000 habitantes y en 2019 fue de 4,3 por cada 1000 habitantes. En 2019, la primera causa de muerte fueron las enfermedades isquémicas del corazón, tanto en mujeres y hombres, y en adultos de 30 a 64 años los accidentes de transporte. Aunque la economía de Ecuador ha mostrado un crecimiento hasta mediados de la última década, la caída del precio internacional del petróleo provocó una recesión económica, con pérdidas de plazas de empleo adecuado desde 2015 y que se mantienen progresivamente en la actualidad. El empleo informal ha crecido rápidamente, situándose en el 46,7% en 2019, y en condiciones precarias de trabajo y ausencia derechos de protección social. Desafortunadamente, la crisis sanitaria por el SARS-CoV-2 ha provocado aún más un entorno desfavorable y retroceso en los objetivos marcados para reducir las desigualdades sociales…

Factors that Influence Farm Safety Decisions of Young Adults when Entering Agricultural Grain Bins
Authors: Walls Kayla  N. , Mosher Gretchen A.
Published: July 2021

Highlights

A grain handling scenario-based survey was administered to college students studying agriculture.

Participants chose an action after reading each scenario and ranked factors affecting their decision-making.

Most participants chose a “safe” option and claimed to value their personal safety when making decisions.

Parental authority and pressure had little influence on participants’ decisions to enter grain bins.

Abstract.
The approaches that parents take in the supervision of youth who perform hazardous tasks on family farms can affect youth safety outcomes. This research examines the most significant factors affecting youths’ decisions to enter agricultural grain storage facilities. Over 200 students attending a Midwestern land-grant university who had grain bin experience as youth completed a decision-making survey. Students chose from a list of actions in three realistic but hypothetical scenarios involving grain bin entry. Afterward, they ranked factors according to the level of importance in their decision. Although most participants chose options that emphasized safety when answering the scenario questions and held the “personal safety” factor in highest regard, some chose higher-risk options and valued “productivity.” The findings revealed that youth held little value in their parents’ authority and pressure when making decisions related to grain bin entry. The study’s limitations are addressed, as are the implications of these findings for youth safety outcomes on family farms. Keywords: Decision-making, External pressures, Farm youth safety, Grain bin safety.
Numerical simulation applied to milk cooling
Authors: Rezende Renan , Andrade Ednilton Tavares de , Correa Jefferson Luiz Gomes , Magalhães Ricardo Rodrigues
Published: July 2021

A model is a representation of a real system that can be analysed and yield predictions under different operating conditions. The aim of this study was to model a milk cooling tank that cools milk to 4 °C to preserve its quality after milking at the farm. The model was developed and simulated using the software Ansys for finite element analysis. The results from the simulations were compared to experimental data. The model simulated milk cooling in the tank with an error lower than 2%, which is considered acceptable for numerical simulations. In other words, the model satisfactorily represents the real system. Thus, alternatives can be directly tested in the computational model to improve and optimise the milk cooling process and to better use the system without actually implementing them in the real system.
Dynamic magnetic field entanglement stabilization
Authors: Wang Jin
Published: July 2021

A method for stabilizing oscillations and maximizing entanglement in a decoherence free Heisenberg spin dimer using a time varying magnetic field is presented. Unentangled and fully entangled initial states are investigated. A stabilizing magnetic field intensity function was found for both initial states. These time varying magnetic field intensity functions are different from each other, implying that the magnetic intensity variation needed to stabilize the system depends on the initial state. The time varying magnetic field functions were found using simulated annealing optimization. This work proves that it is possible to remove the oscillatory nature of entanglement and maximize entanglement in decoherence free systems.
Multi-Gaussian random variables for modeling optical phenomena
Authors: Korotkova Olga , Hyde Milo W.
Published: July 2021

A generalization of the classic Gaussian random variable to the family of multi-Gaussian (MG) random variables characterized by shape parameter M > 0, in addition to the mean and the standard deviation, is introduced. The probability density function (PDF) of the MG family members is an alternating series of Gaussian functions with suitably chosen heights and widths. In particular, for integer values of M, the series has a finite number of terms and leads to flattened profiles, while reducing to the classic Gaussian PDF for M = 1. For non-integer, positive values of M, a convergent infinite series of Gaussian functions is obtained that can be truncated in practical problems. For all M > 1, the MG PDF has flattened profiles, while for 0 < M < 1, the MG PDF has cusped profiles. Moreover, the multivariate extension of the MG random variable is obtained and the log-multi-Gaussian random variable is introduced. In order to illustrate the usefulness of these new random variables for optics, the application of MG random variables to the characterization of novel speckle fields is discussed, both theoretically and via numerical simulations.
Diffraction efficiency optimization for multilayered parametric holographic gratings
Authors: Pinto José , Aylwin Rubén , Silva-Oelker Gerardo , Jerez-Hanckes Carlos
Published: July 2021

Multilayered diffraction gratings are an essential component in many optical devices due to their ability to engineer light. We propose a first-order optimization strategy to maximize diffraction efficiencies of such structures by a fast approximation of the underlying boundary integral equations for polarized electromagnetic fields. A parametric representation of the structure interfaces via trigonometric functions enables the problem to be set as a parametric optimization one while efficiently representing complex structures. Derivatives of the efficiencies with respect to geometrical parameters are computed using shape calculus, allowing a straightforward implementation of gradient descent methods. Examples of the proposed strategy in chirped pulse amplification show its efficacy in designing multilayered gratings to maximize their diffraction efficiency.
Help from the sky: Can vultures contribute to Cystic Echinococcosis control in endemic areas?
Authors: Berlinguer Fiammetta , Ahmed Fahad , Tamponi Claudia , Carta Silvia , Scala Antonio , Cappai Maria Grazia , Varcasia Antonio
Published: July 2021

Cystic echinococcosis(CE) is endemic in Sardinia and constitutes a serious public health concern due to high prevalence in livestock and humans. Despite sustained efforts, control of the disease had been unsuccessful in the region. Problematic carcass disposal due to soaring incineration costs and free access of dogs to infected carrion are dominant factors, fueling endemicity among other. As sole obligate scavenger, griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) are uniquely specialized to eliminate carcasses swiftly and efficiently, saving on unnecessary environmental and economic costs for carrion disposal. However, following drastic population declines across Europe, griffon vultures practically went extinct in Italy. A conservation expansion program in Sardinia successfully reinforced the last remaining Italian vulture population by mitigating the main threats to its survival; food shortage. Through the establishment of supplementary feeding stations, permanent supply of livestock cadavers was provided. In this research, the management and conservation implications on the controlled disposal of carcass disposal through vulture feeding stations on the control of CE in Sardinia were assessed. During the course of the project, vultures scavenged a total of 81,361 kg of biomass, saving €90,041 in incineration costs and € 1,054 in CO2emission. Through extrapolation of these results, a total of 5,304 kg of suspected CE infected sheep carcasses (65.3%) was calculated to have been disposed by griffons, considerably reducing the CE risk and burden in Sardinia. A quantification of the amount of biomass that could be eliminated by griffon in a succeeding conservation project was also made. These calculations implied that 162,722 kg of biomass, including 10,608 kg of infected biomass from sheep, would be consumed over a period of 5 years, further lowering the CE burden in Sardinia. Our results, driven under one health approach, emphasize the crucial and direct role of griffons in breaking the lifecycle of CE as well as their indirect role in rendering multiple ecosystem and economic services through the elimination of carcasses.

Industrial linkage effects of RCEP economies’ imports of producer services on manufacturing advantages
Authors: Qiu Ying , Gong Yushuang
Published: July 2021

This study examines the industrial transmission mechanisms between producer services imports and manufacturing advantages in RCEP economies. Based on the framework of GVCs’decomposition, we establish a hierarchical linear model (HLM) withthe data from 2007 to 2017 in the ADB MIRO, WTO BaTiS and WITS databases to analyze the impact of producer services imports in RCEP economies on the value-added domestic exports of manufacturing in countries around the world, and the conclusions are as follows: (1) Producer service imports have a significant positive impact on the domestic value-added of manufacturing exports through direct effects, upstream effects and downstream effects. The downstream effect is the main driving force for the improvement of manufacturing. After using instrumental variables to resolve endogeneity, the conclusion remains stable; (2) The downstream effect of insurance imports is the largest among producer services imports. After the outbreak of the world financial crisis, the transmission effect of the industry chain was higher in 2008 than before the crisis. (3) Due to the high degree of specialization of industrial division in developed economies, the transfer effect of the three major industrial chains is greater than that of developing countries and regions.

Background

In response to the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), plenty of control measures were proposed. To assess the impact of current control measures on the number of new case indices 14 countries with the highest confirmed cases, highest mortality rate, and having a close relationship with the outbreak’s origin; were selected and analyzed.

Methods

In the study, we analyzed the impact of five control measures, including centralized isolation of all confirmed cases, closure of schools, closure of public areas, closure of cities, and closure of borders of the 14 targeted countries according to their timing; by comparing its absolute effect average, its absolute effect cumulative, and its relative effect average.

Results

Our analysis determined that early centralized isolation of all confirmed cases was represented as a core intervention in significantly disrupting the pandemic’s spread. This strategy helped in successfully controlling the early stage of the outbreak when the total number of cases were under 100, without the requirement of the closure of cities and public areas, which would impose a negative impact on the society and its economy. However, when the number of cases increased with the apparition of new clusters, coordination between centralized isolation and non-pharmaceutical interventions facilitated control of the crisis efficiently.

Conclusion

Early centralized isolation of all confirmed cases should be implemented at the time of the first detected infectious case.
Influence of homophone processing during auditory language comprehension on executive control processes: A dual-task paradigm
Authors: El Bouzaïdi Tiali Samuel , Spinelli Elsa , Meunier Fanny , Palluel-Germain Richard , Perrone-Bertolotti Marcela
Published: July 2021

In the present preregistered study, we evaluated the possibility of a shared cognitive mechanism during verbal and non-verbal tasks and therefore the implication of domain-general cognitive control during language comprehension. We hypothesized that a behavioral cost will be observed during a dual-task including both verbal and non-verbal difficult processing. Specifically, to test this claim, we designed a dual-task paradigm involving: an auditory language comprehension task (sentence comprehension) and a non-verbal Flanker task (including congruent and incongruent trials). We manipulated sentence ambiguity and evaluated if the ambiguity effect modified behavioral performances in the non-verbal Flanker task. Under the assumption that ambiguous sentences induce a more difficult process than unambiguous sentences, we expected non-verbal flanker task performances to be impaired only when a simultaneous difficult language processing is performed. This would be specifically reflected by a performance cost during incongruent Flanker items only during ambiguous sentence presentation. Conversely, we observed a facilitatory effect for the incongruent Flanker items during ambiguous sentence suggesting better non-verbal inhibitory performances when an ambiguous sentence was simultaneously processed. Exploratory data analysis suggests that this effect is not only related to a more difficult language processing but also to the previous (n-1) Flanker item. Indeed, results showed that incongruent n-1 Flanker items led to a facilitation of the incongruent synchronized Flanker items only when ambiguous sentences were conjointly presented. This result, even if it needs to be corroborated in future studies, suggests that the recruitment of executive control mechanisms facilitates subsequent executive control implication during difficult language processing. The present study suggests a common executive control mechanism during difficult verbal and non-verbal tasks.
Predicting COVID-19 cases with unknown homogeneous or heterogeneous resistance to infectivity
Authors: Shanmugam Ramalingam , Ledlow Gerald , Singh Karan P.
Published: July 2021

We present a restricted infection rate inverse binomial-based approach to better predict COVID-19 cases after a family gathering. The traditional inverse binomial (IB) model is inappropriate to match the reality of COVID-19, because the collected data contradicts the model’s requirement that variance should be larger than the expected value. Our version of an IB model is more appropriate, as it can accommodate all potential data scenarios in which the variance is smaller, equal, or larger than the mean. This is unlike the usual IB, which accommodates only the scenario in which the variance is more than the mean. Therefore, we propose a refined version of an IB model to be able to accommodate all potential data scenarios. The application of the approach is based on a restricted infectivity rate and methodology on COVID-19 data, which exhibit two clusters of infectivity. Cluster 1 has a smaller number of primary cases and exhibits larger variance than the expected cases with a negative correlation of 28%, implying that the number of secondary cases is lesser when the number of primary cases increases and vice versa. The traditional IB model is appropriate for Cluster 1. The probability of contracting COVID-19 is estimated to be 0.13 among the primary, but is 0.75 among the secondary in Cluster 1, with a wider gap. Cluster 2, with a larger number of primary cases, exhibits smaller variance than the expected cases with a correlation of 79%, implying that the number of primary and secondary cases do increase or decrease together. Cluster 2 disqualifies the traditional IB model and requires its refined version. The probability of contracting COVID-19 is estimated to be 0.74 among the primary, but is 0.72 among the secondary in Cluster 2, with a narrower gap. The advantages of the proposed approach include the model’s ability to estimate the community’s health system memory, as future policies might reduce COVID’s spread. In our approach, the current hazard level to be infected with COVID-19 and the odds of not contracting COVID-19 among the primary in comparison to the secondary groups are estimable and interpretable.

Published: July 2021

This study aimed to assess the value of quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) combined with other risk factors in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected infection. This post-hoc analysis of a prospective multicenter study dataset included 34 emergency departments across Japan (December 2017 to February 2018). We included adult patients (age ≥16 years) who presented to the emergency department with suspected infection. qSOFA was calculated and recorded by senior emergency physicians when they suspected an infection. Different types of sepsis-related risk factors (demographic, functional, and laboratory values) were chosen from prior studies. A logistic regression model was used to assess the predictive value of qSOFA for in-hospital mortality in models based on the following combination of predictors: 1) qSOFA-Only; 2) qSOFA+Age; 3) qSOFA+Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS); 4) qSOFA+Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI); 5) qSOFA+lactate levels; 6) qSOFA+Age+CCI+CFS+lactate levels. We calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and other key clinical statistics at Youden’s index, where the sum of sensitivity and specificity is maximized. Following prior literature, an AUC >0.9 was deemed to indicate high accuracy; 0.7–0.9, moderate accuracy; 0.5–0.7, low accuracy; and 0.5, a chance result. Of the 951 patients included in the analysis, 151 (15.9%) died during hospitalization. The AUC for predicting in-hospital mortality was 0.627 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.580−0.673) for the qSOFA-Only model. Addition of other variables only marginally improved the model’s AUC; the model that included all potentially relevant variables yielded an AUC of only 0.730 (95% CI: 0.687–0.774). Other key statistic values were similar among all models, with sensitivity and specificity of 0.55−0.65 and 0.60−0.75, respectively. In this post-hoc data analysis from a prospective multicenter study based in Japan, combining qSOFA with other sepsis-related risk factors only marginally improved the model’s predictive value.
Association between triglyceride-glucose index and thyroid function in euthyroid adults: The Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2015
Authors: Choi Wonsuk , Park Ji Yong , Hong A. Ram , Yoon Jee Hee , Kim Hee Kyung , Kang Ho-Cheol
Published: July 2021

Objectives

Low-normal thyroid function is associated with numerous metabolic risk factors including insulin resistance (IR). Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a new surrogate marker of IR calculated by fasting triglyceride and glucose levels. Here, we investigated the association between thyroid function and TyG index in non-diabetic euthyroid adults.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was based on data from the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2015 including 1482 individuals (741 men and 741 women). Serum thyrotropin (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) levels were measured.

Results

After adjusting for confounders, there was an inverse relationship of TyG index with fT4 in men (β = –0.094, P = 0.009) and a positive relationship of TyG index with TSH in women (β = 0.078, P = 0.018). The lowest fT4 tertile in men (P = 0.001) and the highest TSH tertile in women (P = 0.010) exhibited increased TyG index after adjusting for confounders. The lowest fT4 tertile also showed increased homeostatic model assessment for IR (HOMA-IR) only in men (P = 0.006). Odds ratios (ORs) for the high TyG index, which was defined as the highest TyG quartile decreased in the highest and second highest tertile of fT4 in men (OR = 0.41 and OR = 0.45, respectively; P < 0.001) and increased in highest tertile of TSH in women (OR = 1.81, P = 0.031) after adjusting for confounders. The OR for high HOMA-IR defined as the highest HOMA-IR quartile was also lower in the highest and second highest fT4 tertiles in men (both OR = 0.47; P = 0.003).

Conclusions

This is the first study to suggest that TyG index is a good surrogate marker of IR in evaluating its relationship with thyroid function.

Gender and expletives as discourse markers: Some uses of joder in young women’s interactions in Spanish and Galician
Authors: Acuña Ferreira Virginia
Published: July 2021

This paper approaches young women’s speaking style by analysing the ways in which the interjection joder is employed in interactions in Spanish and Galician among young females. The analysis identifies several uses of this form at the interactional and discursive level: reinforcement of speech acts, marker of disagreement, marker of complaints, expression of minimal emotional assessments, correcting and stalling. It is concluded that joder has developed multiple functions in interaction as a discursive marker, in contrast to arguments against the inclusion of interjections in this pragmatic category. The findings also suggest that this expletive fulfils a sociolinguistic function as a marker of ‘young femininities’, since it demonstrates how it has been integrated into young women’s speaking style, in contrast to traditional gender rules and broader descriptions of ‘women’s talk’ in Language and Gender studies.
Gender stereotyping and retro-sexism in advertising discourse from a postfeminist perspective
Authors: Montes Antonia
Published: July 2021

Negative female stereotypes and the portrayal of women in traditional and non-agentive social roles prevail in advertising. Advertisers believe that it is an effective advertising strategy to misuse postfeminist standpoints, stressing liberated womanhood and constructing a universe where women have gained it all and men have to reconquer their lost ground. This article analyses the appropriation of postfeminist discourse with the aim of showing how negative and even demeaning female stereotypes and clichés are represented, and by doing so, how a retro-sexist imagery is constructed within the advertising discourse. Undertaking a case study analysis of an advertising campaign of the brand IWC, a luxury brand for watches, and applying a feminist critical discourse perspective (Lazar, 2005, 2007), which shows the gender asymmetries in discourse, it is argued that advertising perpetuates misbeliefs about women’s roles in society and reinforces demeaning female stereotypes in the collective imaginary about the understanding of gender equality.
‘It doesn’t meet the requirements of violence or intimidation’. A discursive study of judgments of sexual abuse
Authors: Martínez-Delgado Veiga María
Published: July 2021

This study delves into the main discourses found in five sexual abuse judgments, in different Spanish Courts. The analysis employs Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis in order to explore the topic of sexual violence, its understanding, and the dominant discourses revealed in these judgments of sexual abuse, and to investigate the way rape cases are treated discursively in Court from a feminist perspective. The dominant discourses found have been those of sexuality; inaction of the survivor; and lack of violence and/or intimidation. Unravelling these hidden ideologies and relationships of power is crucial to give us a better awareness of the dominant ideas surrounding violence against women.

Para acometer este propósito, se ha elegido un tema que afecta principalmente a las mujeres (los cuidados) y se ha seleccionado una muestra de hasta veinte sentencias jurisprudenciales sobre un ámbito concreto (en este caso, las disposiciones testamentarias en favor de quien cuide al testador). Las conclusiones del análisis son ciertamente alarmantes, por cuanto suponen la constatación de una triste realidad: los cuidados no se valoran siempre con el mismo rigor, sino que se observan importantes diferencias en función del sexo del cuidador. La jurisprudencia española es definitivamente más estricta con las cuidadoras y mucho más laxa con los cuidadores.
Determinación sexual: ¿cómo estructura la biomedicina contemporánea su discurso sobre la génesis de la diferencia? Un estudio con foco en Argentina
Authors: Hadid Luciana , Belardo Marcela
Published: July 2021

El discurso biomédico contemporáneo sostiene que el elemento determinante del sexo humano es el camino de desarrollo tomado por las gónadas al comienzo de la vida. A través de un proceso conocido como determinación sexual, esas estructuras dejan de ser órganos sexualmente indiferenciados para transformarse en ovarios o testículos, en un enfoque binario. Eso define el resto del desarrollo genital. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar quiénes elaboran el discurso biomédico sobre determinación sexual entre 1990 y 2015, y qué materiales producen. Este análisis está enmarcado en la propuesta teórica de Ludwik Fleck, a partir del concepto de colectivo de pensamiento. La metodología es cualitativa, con fuentes primarias y secundarias. La determinación sexual es enunciada como un proceso estrictamente natural que no constituye un objeto epistemológico. Este discurso perpetúa condiciones opresivas y normalizadoras que resultan centrales en la estructuración de la verdad biomédica sobre el cuerpo normal.
Airbnb: ¿economía colaborativa o nuevo modelo de negocio? Evidencia empírica reciente desde una ciudad de tamaño medio como Bilbao
Authors: Aguado-Moralejo Itziar , Echebarria Carmen , Barrutia Jose M.

La economía colaborativa, es un concepto controvertido y polémico construido en torno al avance de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación, las plataformas digitales y el intercambio (generalmente, ocasional y por tiempo limitado) de activos infrautilizados entre proveedores y consumidores. Airbnb, la plataforma digital líder en alquiler turístico, defiende que sus actividades responden a este nuevo modelo económico, especialmente debido al servicio de alquiler de viviendas compartidas. Este artículo, a partir del tratamiento y depuración de diferentes fuentes estadísticas y cartográficas, (1) amplia la evidencia empírica sobre las actividades de Airbnb en una ciudad de tamaño medio como Bilbao, y (2) analiza la caracterización de la oferta de Airbnb en Bilbao y su grado de contribución a la economía colaborativa. El análisis muestra claramente que “compartir el hogar” es relevante, pero la oferta comercial es también muy significativa, aunque geográficamente desigual, en la forma en que la plataforma opera en la ciudad. En cualquier caso, las plataformas digitales constituyen una parte cada vez más relevante de las actividades de alojamiento turístico a nivel mundial, por lo que es necesario profundizar más en el debate sobre la relación entre las plataformas y la economía colaborativa.

Authors: Colás Bravo Pilar , Casanova Correa Juan
Published: July 2021

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio de casos llevado a cabo mediante entrevistas narrativas, cuyo objetivo es identificar los factores condicionantes de las buenas prácticas con TIC. Las buenas prácticas con TIC están relacionadas con dos áreas científicas de estudio. Una referida a la integración de las TIC en los sistemas educativos y, otra ligada a procesos de innovación. En esta aportación se presenta el estado de la cuestión respecto a factores condicionantes de las buenas prácticas desde ambas perspectivas. A partir de ahí situamos el marco teórico de este trabajo desde la perspectiva del profesorado. El análisis cualitativo realizado mediante el software científico Atlas.Ti 5.0 saca a la luz variables personales y contextuales asociadas a los procesos de innovación.

Análisis de “buenas prácticas” del e-learning en las universidades andaluzas
Authors: Cabero Almenara Julio , Romero Tena Rosalía
Published: July 2021

Este artículo ofrece los resultados obtenidos del analisis de “buenas prácticas” de treinta profesores de las diferentes Universidades Andaluzas. Para la recogida de datos se han utilizado tres instrumentos: biograma, entrevistas individualizadas y observación de materiales. Estos profesores tienen una actitud positiva hacia la formación e-learning, trabajan en grupo y llevan más de 2 años impartiéndolas junto a la presencial. Consideran esta formación como una gran ayuda para los alumnos por el volumen de material disponible, la flexibilización en su uso, la posibilidad de consulta y el trato es más personal. Por otro lado, estos profesores señalan la cantidad de tiempo y esfuerzo que requiere la elaboración y actualización de los materiales. Así como la escasa formación para su utilización didáctica y educativa, subsanada por su autoformación. Los materiales utilizados son considerados como buenos en lo técnico, didáctico y comunicativo.

Published: July 2021

En los últimos 20 años estamos asistiendo de forma progresiva al uso generalizado de las simulaciones en la formación de los médicos y de otros profesionales de las ciencias de la salud, en las diferentes etapas de su continuum educativo (grado, postgrado y formación continua). Tanto es así que ha surgido el concepto de la educación médica basada en las simulaciones, reconocida actualmente como una ayuda fundamental para asegurar el aprendizaje del estudiante y del médico y para mejorar la seguridad del paciente. En este artículo describiremos las razones por las que surge y se desarrolla esta nueva metodología, sus ventajas, los diferentes modelos y recursos disponibles en la actualidad y las características de los denominados centros de simulación o de habilidades clínicas que se han ido desarrollando en todo el mundo, en los cuales se lleva a cabo esta nueva modalidad de enseñanza médica. Así mismo trataremos brevemente  la situación en nuestro país y finalmente nos referiremos a los principios en los que se basa un desarrollo adecuado de la educación médica basada en las simulaciones.

Estamos viviendo una época de cambios profundos en la educación universitaria. La implantación del plan de Bolonia nos ha llevado a plantear nuevas metodologías docentes, a revisar el papel del estudiante, la evaluación por competencias, la incorporación de las TIC. Hechos impensables hace poco más de una década. Entre las diferentes plataformas informáticas, cabe destacar las que permiten corrección automática de ejercicios, porque son instrumentos de un gran interés pedagógico ya que evalúan al instante al alumnado y aportan un feedback del conocimiento que tiene en forma de mensaje de ayuda o de nota. Si la potencia de estas herramientas la sumamos a la de Internet, usando un entorno de e-learning, el resultado permitirá trabajar, corregir, evaluar, resolver dudas, etc., desde cualquier lugar y a cualquier hora.Este trabajo presenta parte de una plataforma y los resultados de su utilización en el ámbito de las ciencias de la salud.
Aspectos semánticos en los entornos virtuales de formación
Authors: Leguízamo León Ana Vanessa
Published: July 2021

La semántica es un elemento necesario en cualquier actividad de aprendizaje, independientemente del contexto en el que nos encontremos. Los entornos virtuales de formación, como instituciones sociales mediadas por tecnología, tienen también una semántica asociada, que muchas veces es poco valorada por las personas que los diseñan. El componente semántico en estos entornos facilita la negociación de significados, que debe ocurrir para que los estudiantes puedan apropiarse de conocimiento y asociarlo con alguno de los patrones semánticos que ya posee, o crear uno nuevo. Se muestran aquí los aspectos semánticos que deben estar presentes en los entornos virtuales de formación, para situar al estudiante en el contexto semántico propuesto por el docente y que lo conduzca a un aprendizaje significativo.
