Analyse comparative des mécanismes de protection de la personnalité des employés des organes des affaires intérieures de la Fédération de Russie et de la République du Tadjikistan
Authors: Zayyrbekova Aychurok
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the study and comparative analysis of the protective mechanisms of the personality of employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan. Service in law enforcement agencies is often associated with increased responsibility, high mental and physical overload, work in extreme conditions, all this contributes to the fact that during the course of their work, employees develop constructive or destructive protective mechanisms of the psyche. Activities in law enforcement agencies require a person to have high professional qualities, moral and value beliefs, and psychological stability. Different CIS countries have their own legislation, requirements that differ from each other, but the law enforcement agencies of almost all countries of the world have one thing in common - this is the prevention, prevention and suppression of offenses and crimes. Service in law enforcement agencies is often associated with increased responsibility, high mental and physical overload, work in extreme conditions, all this contributes to the fact that during the course of their work, employees develop constructive or destructive protective mechanisms of the psyche. The results of the study of the protective mechanisms of employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan are presented. The study involved 100 employees, 50 people - representatives of Russia, 50 people - representatives of Tajikistan. The staff members who participated in the study occupy different positions in their countries. The respondents' defense mechanisms were studied using the Plutchik-Kellerman-Conte's Life Style Index questionnaire, which is favorably distinguished by its relative simplicity and high information content. The empirical data that were obtained during the study were subjected to mathematical analysis.
Social Advertising as a Type of Communication Activity in the Formation of Italian Family Values (the Example of Social Campaigns in Italy at the End of the Twentieth Century)
Authors: Ivanova A.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to some stages of social advertising phenomenon formation in Italy, as well as its main strategies, techniques, methods, design style and thematic spectrum, and gives a brief analysis of the main approaches to its creation. The social campaigns of the late 20th and early 20th centuries, aimed at forming family values and regulating relations between Italians in the family circle, are presented as an example. Based on linguistic information, stereotypical perceptions and personal communication experiences, some features of the mentality, national character and everyday life of Italians are described, which seems necessary to better understand the concept of family and its importance in the life of this nation. Taking into account the statistical data presented in the text, it is possible to trace a causal relation between the social campaigns regulating the family microclimate in the 20th century and the family values of Italians in the present period, while current trends in social advertising allow us to make some assumptions about the trajectory of Italian society in the coming years.
Acciones colectivas en la recuperación de espacios verdes públicos: Caso Quebrada Ortega, Quitumbe, Quito-Ecuador.
Authors: Zumárraga Salgado Maria Daniela , Pascual Wong Teresa Elena , Unda Padilla Mauricio Javier
Published: November 2021

Green spaces are protagonists in the new way of conceiving public space, where the collective actions undertaken by social organizations use natural benefits as a source of unlimited resources that improve their quality of life. In this context, public green spaces are in a favorable setting for the development of local activities. However, in the South of Quito, the logic of the State is opposed to the recovery of green areas as triggers of urban life, prioritizing the construction of massive houses and facilities before the recovery of streams and forests that are characteristic elements of the topography from the city. Here the categories of collective actions undertaken by the Alianza Solidaria Housing Cooperative in the recovery of Quebrada Ortega were analyzed and determined. Interviews, photographic archives, semiotic analysis and surveys were the techniques used to feed a mixed analysis methodology. As a result, we find that community participation and self-management are decisive collective actions in the appropriation of public spaces. Finally, the role of women becomes an essential element for executing the processes to improve the quality of life of the community.
Movimiento vecinal, urbanismo y participación en Valladolid (1970-1995): una perspectiva histórica sobre el “derecho a la ciudad”.
Authors: Castrillo Romón María , Gonzalo Morell Constantino
Published: November 2021

Social History and urban planning History combine in this text in order to contribute to the knowledge of the neighbourhood movement in Valladolid (Spain) in the period of its birth and greatest development (1970- 1995). The perspective adopted axes on the concept of the “right to the city”, coined by Henri Lefebvre in 1968, and focuses the study of the conflicts hold for neighbourhood organisations face to municipal governments in the process of conquest of participation ability in all kinds of decisions on the city. The most of the sources are the local daily press, but also archival and bibliographical documents. Three periods characterised by the general climate of relations between the neighbourhood movement and the City Council structure the content of the paper, separated by two turning points: the municipal elections of 1979 and a deep rupture in 1986. The analysis shows, in one hand, continuities and changes in the role played by the neighbourhood movement in Valladolid as a “stakeholder” (in the Lefebvrian sense of the term). In the other hand, it identifies some effective conditioning factors and limitations in the conquest of the right to the city.
Migración del uso residencial de la vivienda al alquiler turístico en Sevilla. Impactos en el derecho a vivir en la ciudad.
Authors: Pereira Cardozo Hugo Javier
Published: November 2021

The analysis of the impacts on residential housing in the city of Seville by tourist rental has been the main objective that has guided the carrying out of this work. To achieve this the behavior of the rental of housing for tourist purposes, the evolution of the rental cost and the prices of the houses were characterized. The effects of tourist rental experienced by Sevillian residents were also examined. Organized resistance against the impact of intensive tourism in Seville is recent. The Collective Assembly against the Touristization of Seville (CACTUS) began to take its first steps a few years ago. Its members consider that the migration from residential to tourist-type rental not only expels the resident population, but that with the emptying of the neighborhoods, the solidarity networks that have been typical of Sevillian neighborhoods also disappear.

Published: November 2021

Sustainable community building processes result in the empowerment of the individuals or groups that participate in them for the management of their habitat, with which knowledge and skills can be acquired with which it is possible to overcome situations of vulnerability. In the search for community development in the face of any adversity, it is required that the practice of architecture gets feedback from these social processes and consider, from its project criteria, variables of sustainability, environmental sensitivity and social construction; The objective is to establish operational strategies for cultural adaptation based on the production processes of traditional rural housing, supported by the relevance of social processes from the empirical construction and the consideration of their relationships in the case study of the community of Santiago. Niltepec, Oaxaca. The proposed methodology has a qualitative and holistic approach, through focal groups and observational visits to the place, the results show that the community organization can prosper if there is an appropriation of the proposal. As conclusions and reflections, some contributions are offered on the subject of promoting participation in the different communities of our country
Pedaleando con Lefebvre por el carril-bici de Sevilla. Por qué no debemos presuponer que las infraestructuras públicas restringen por defecto el derecho a la ciudad.
Authors: Malpica Pedro
Published: November 2021

The notion —clearly inspired by Lefebvre— according to which public works have per se a coercive character that curtails the inhabitants’ right to the city, should not be applied when evaluating certain infrastructures which actually improve the livability of the urban space, such as those promoting urban cycling. Considering this possible error, it is necessary to examine the repeated exceptions that Lefebvre himself enunciates throughout his work when he characterizes some types of urban intervention that, when fulfilling certain conditions, contribute to the resignification and reappropiation of urban space. We here pursue not only to enumerate these notes by Lefebvre, but to illustrate them taking as a model an urban intervention of great repercussion such as the infrastructure for the promotion of urban cycling in the city of Seville in the first decade of the 21st century, and applying such Lefebvrian contributions to its characteristics. In the confrontation of the different space-producing strategies, some infrastructures —such as the one addressed in this case study— guarantee the right to the city, instead of being, as could be argued from a superficial reading of Lefebvre’s analysis, an element that restricts that right.
Una aproximación al estudio de las políticas públicas de vivienda rural en Tucumán.
Authors: Garay Ana , Gómez López Claudia Fernanda
Published: November 2021

In Argentina, the housing policy model conceived and applied during the 1950s, 1960s and later, deepened by the National Housing Fund (FONAVI) in 1972, was based on the idea that mass production would favor the sustained development of the construction industry, making it possible to overcome the deficit and benefiting the economy as a whole. This model was implemented in the same way in rural areas, and public housing policies have not tended to address rural areas with their own identity, nor have they taken into account the ways of life and habitation of this population. In this sense, this paper sets out to carry out a historical review of the public rural housing policies carried out in Tucumán from 1860 to 2018, analyzing the logics and processes that they promote. The results show that, since the creation of the Provincial Institute of Housing and Urban Development (IPVDU) in 1969, the production of state housing continues to focus on works with urban characteristics, without differentiating towards the rural interior of the province. This excludes the lifestyles and ways of life of the target populations.
La La Asociación Parque Sí en Chamberí y la participación de los vecinos en la definición y uso del Parque sobre el Tercer Depósito del CYII en Chamberí.
Authors: Arce Sainz Mercedes
Published: November 2021

There are not many cases in which an urban movement, rising from the bottom up, manages to achieve its objectives through a continuous, creative and diverse struggle, with the complicity and support of many residents. The decision of illegally changing the use of a public park into a golf course materialized in the creation of the association Parque Sí en Chamberí, which, in time, used all the means at its disposal (legal, participatory, cultural, support in the street) to topple this decision and, in the meantime, created a social associative network which strengthened the district’s social capital.
Aportes para el reproyecto de conjuntos habitacionales vulnerables. Micro acciones que promueven la exterioridad.
Authors: Cabrera Recoba Andrés
Published: November 2021

The activation of public housing states from the 70s and 80s decades, currently under vulnerability processes, presents itself as a form of urban sustainability that takes advantage of existing buildings and infrastructure for the generation of quality housing and habitat. A small scale project is proposed here as an intervention strategy. Micro-actions based on the incorporation of activating elements, capable of generating greater unfolding in the different scales of the housing state, through the co-operative participation of its dwellers, creating a renovated bond with objects and spaces in the state. The investigation addresses 9 housing states in Montevideo and in this article we focus on the exteriority of domestic sceneries, understood as living the outdoors. Looking out the window, going out to the balcony, to the ground foor, walking along a corridor street, going through internal paths until reaching an urban street; daily experiences based on having the user as the center. A bridge is a man crossing a bridge.
Se nos ha ido, como el rayo, Luz Marina.
Authors: García García Antonio , Ojeda Rivera Juan Francisco , Torres Gutiérrez Francisco José
Published: November 2021

Luz Marina García Herrera, professor at the University of La Laguna, colleague, teacher and friend, passed away in June 2020. A reference in Spanish Urban Geography, her contribution to the debate on the shaping of the city and the social dynamics inherent to it has opened up timely and necessary lines of work. She anchors her background in the interpretation of urban social processes under capitalism, focusing on key issues such as marginal developments, gentrification mechanisms or different facets of urban segregation. In addition she also approaches other issues in which we have been able to share time and space with her. Among them the constant and changing conditioning between physical and social environments in the city and consequences, or the reading of public spaces, their use and appropriation keys, as an indicator of cohesion as well as an instrument for the transformation of specific realities. All of this, and even more his commitment and his profound humanity, which we are proud to have learned from, motivate these lines.
Adaptive Stochastic Variance Reduction for Subsampled Newton Method with Cubic Regularization
Authors: Zhang Junyu , Xiao Lin , Zhang Shuzhong
Published: November 2021

The cubic regularized Newton method of Nesterov and Polyak has become increasingly popular for nonconvex optimization because of its capability of finding an approximate local solution with a second order guarantee and its low iteration complexity. Several recent works extend this method to the setting of minimizing the average of N smooth functions by replacing the exact gradients and Hessians with subsampled approximations. It is shown that the total Hessian sample complexity can be reduced to be sublinear in N per iteration by leveraging stochastic variance reduction techniques. We present an adaptive variance reduction scheme for a subsampled Newton method with cubic regularization and show that the expected Hessian sample complexity is [Formula: see text] for finding an [Formula: see text]-approximate local solution (in terms of first and second order guarantees, respectively). Moreover, we show that the same Hessian sample complexity is retained with fixed sample sizes if exact gradients are used. The techniques of our analysis are different from previous works in that we do not rely on high probability bounds based on matrix concentration inequalities. Instead, we derive and utilize new bounds on the third and fourth order moments of the average of random matrices, which are of independent interest on their own.
Case Article—Bayer New Drug Development Decision Making
Authors: Stonebraker Jeffrey S.
Published: November 2021

The interactive case study requires student teams to engage with the instructor using a structured decision analysis process in deciding whether to develop a new drug to treat blood clots in legs. There is role-playing in the interactive case study where student teams are decision consultants and the instructor serves as the decision maker, subject matter expert (SME), and coach. Student teams are responsible for managing the analytical process, framing the decision, collecting data from the SME (instructor), constructing the Excel model, assessing probabilities for the most-sensitive uncertainties from the SME, evaluating the Excel-based decision-tree model, and presenting evaluation results and recommendations to the decision maker (instructor). The goal of the case is to improve the analytical, modeling, and consulting skills of the students. The interactive case study is the culmination of a semester-long elective MBA course, entitled Decision Making Under Uncertainty. Since 2010, I have taught this course 31 times to 870 graduate students.

Dressings and dignity in community nursing
Authors: Stevens Emma , Price Elizabeth , Walker Liz
Published: November 2021

Although dignity has been widely explored in the context of healthcare, it has rarely been the subject of empirical exploration when care is delivered by community district nursing teams. This paper demonstrates how a commonplace community nursing task (changing dressings) can constitute a clinical lens through which to explore the ways in which community nurses can influence patients' dignity. This ethnographic study involved two research methods: interviews with patients and nurses (n=22) and observations of clinical interactions (n=62). Dignity can manifest during routine interactions between community nurses and patients. Patient-participants identified malodour from their ill-bodies as a particular threat to dignity. Nurses can reinforce the dignity of their patients through relational aspects of care and the successful concealment of ‘leaky’ bodies.
Referral criteria: perceptions and experiences of district nursing students in Northern Ireland
Authors: Young Charlene , Reid Bernie
Published: November 2021

An ever-ageing population and widening health inequalities intensify the complexity of care that is now delivered within community settings by district nurses. Appropriate referral criteria are required to facilitate the enhancement of efficient and equitable district nursing service provision. This study aimed to explore district nursing students' perceptions and experiences of district nursing referral criteria in Northern Ireland. A qualitative phenomenological approach was adopted using a purposive convenience sample of 10 district nursing students. Data were collected during online focus group interviews and analysed using a thematic framework. Four themes emerged: referral criteria; insight and inconsistency; task versus patient-centred care; and misunderstanding the service and referral quality. The themes reflect a lack of consensus with respect to referral criteria, contributing to inappropriate and poor-quality referrals. Appropriate and quality referrals to district nursing services are key to assuring sustainable service provision. Suitable access to district nursing services may be enhanced by developing consensus referral criteria.
Nursing interventions for people with type 1 diabetes and frequent hypoglycaemia
Authors: Kelly Bethany
Published: November 2021

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition which affects all age ranges, for reasons unknown, and the UK has one of the highest incidences of this complex condition in the world. Type 1 diabetes is caused by autoimmune damage to the insulin-producing β-cells found in the pancreatic islet cells, leading to severe insulin deficiency. People with diabetes need to achieve a target glyosylated haemoglobin level to avoid macro- and microvascular complications, but there is the associated risk of hypoglycaemic events. These can vary in severity and consequences but will likely always cause worry for the person living with diabetes. There are many risk factors and reasons to be explored when looking at hypoglycaemia. This case study explores the nursing interventions that can be safely worked through and prioritised, within the community setting, to allow people with diabetes to be safe from severe hypoglycaemia, thus improving their quality of life and safety, as well as reducing costs for the NHS.
Improving the sexual health of young people experiencing homelessness
Authors: McGregor Fiona , Paisi Martha , Robinson Ann , Shawe Jill
Published: November 2021

The sexual health needs of young people experiencing homelessness in the UK have not been researched adequately. This study aimed to examine knowledge and attitudes around sexual health and contraceptive use amongst this vulnerable group to develop suitable models of care in the community. A qualitative ethnographic case-study following Burawoy's extended case method was used. Semi-structured interviews with 29 young people experiencing homelessness and five key workers in London hostels were carried out together with ethnographic observations and analysis of documentary evidence. Thematic analysis was undertaken. Demographic data were collected. Three significant themes were identified: risks and extreme vulnerability, relationships and communication difficulties and emergence of a culture of homelessness. Young people experiencing homelessness require specialist delivery of sexual health care in safe surroundings. Initial care should focus on assessment of basic needs and current state of being. Establishing trusting relationships and considering ongoing vulnerability, can help promote meaningful and personalised sexual healthcare both at policy and practice level.
Religious Conversions in Pakistan: Empirical Evidence from Sindh
Authors: Hussain Ghulam
Published: November 2021

Pakistan is often discussed at domestic and international forums in the context of its treatment of the religious minorities and more particularly the alleged forced religious conversions to Islam. This paper is in continuation of a recent report by the author that discussed the narrative of systematic and organized forced religious conversions in Pakistan to show that it is not supported by any data or verifiable evidence. The paper presents preliminary results of the fieldwork that collected data from the province of Sindh in Pakistan. The data gathered comprises audio-visual interviews from a cross-section of the society, official documents, and data of converts. While the study could not find cases of forced conversion, it notes that the force is used against the neo-converts through various means. It identifies 13 push and pull factors that contribute to religious conversions in the context of the area of this study. It also looks into the widespread perception of only women being converted, or the age of converted individuals generally being below 18 years.
The Conduct of Pakistan's Foreign Policy: Structure, Strengths, and Issues (2018-2020)
Authors: Altaf Tajammul
Published: November 2021

Owing to its character and location, Pakistan is among the countries that often remain in international focus. Situated in one of the world's most-happening regions, the state and nation of Pakistan always have several challenges and options to work their way through. Naturally, the foreign office of Pakistan is expected to do a lot on various fronts to tap the opportunities, deal with the challenges, safeguard national interests, and serve overseas Pakistanis. This office, however, works with several limitations in terms of its capacity and the liaison with the relevant policy-making institutions in the country. The incumbent government in Pakistan had come with the promise of strengthening the foreign service of Pakistan through expansion, modernization, and better coordination. It, however, seems to have a lot more to do during the rest of its current tenure to actualize its promise. There certainly are achievements and positive developments that offer foundations for further developments but a detailed look at the conduct of national policy asks for a renewed and more inclusive approach at the external front. This paper reviews the operational, institutional, and political factors that have shaped the conduct of foreign policy by the current regime during the first half of its five-year tenure. It underscores the strengths and issues that need to be acknowledged and properly tackled.
A Critique of Moseley's Money and Totality
Authors: Marco Guido De
Published: November 2021

In his macro-monetary interpretation of Marx's theory of value, Fred Moseley claims that Marx's prices of production should be considered as the long-run equilibrium condition of capital reproduction under the assumption of given technology and given capital distribution. Moseley's methodological interpretation depends on the claim that the general rate of profit is completely predetermined in the first two volumes of Capital. I argue to the contrary that though Moseley shows the inadequacy of the Standard Interpretation, he fails to provide a convincing description of Marx's category of prices of production. The production of the new total value and total surplus-value cannot be considered as simply determined by the initial conditions of production; if we want to describe how prices of production are formed and the role they play in the social reproduction of capital, we should recognize that in social reproduction this process develops temporally through an intertwined relation between the production, circulation and distribution.
Flood Rate Assessment of the Woyla River Watershed, Aceh Province, Indonesia
Authors: Alayani Rifa , Sugianto Sugianto , Basri Hairul
Published: November 2021

This study aims to assess Flood susceptibility and flood hazard levels and obtain the distribution of hazard levels and flood hazards in the Woyla watershed, Aceh Province. This research design generally uses a descriptive survey method and divide into several stages, such as data collection, data processing, data presentation, and delivery of research results. Each determinant of flood-prone areas includes a land slope, altitude, soil texture, drainage, land cover, and rainfall, analyzed spatially utilizing a map. Furthermore, based on the map, the regions are described based on the values that have been divided into classes. The results showed that the level of flood vulnerability in the Woyla watershed was divided into five classes, namely; the non-vulnerable class with an area of 14.88 Ha / 0.01%, low prone with an area of 90,731.62 Ha / 35.45%, medium with an area of 57,120.35 Ha / 22.32%, high with an area of 44,918.15 Ha / 17.55%, and very high with an area of 63,151.72 Ha / 24.67%. Also obtained a map of the distribution of flood hazard areas, the Woyla watershed area is divided into five classes, namely; the very light class with an area of 179,146.15 Ha / 70.00%, mild with an area of 32,868.84 Ha / 12.84%, moderate with an area of 20,129.93 Ha / 7.87%, danger with an area of 6.007. 29 Ha / 2, 35%, and very dangerous with an area of 17,784.51 Ha / 6.95%. The level of flood vulnerability in the Woyla watershed is dominant in West Aceh Regency, which is in the very high and high category classes with a total area of 56,876.65 Ha and 23,527.40 Ha. Meanwhile, the level of flood hazard in the Woyla watershed is also more dominant in West Aceh Regency than falls into the most dangerous and dangerous class category with a total area of 17,784.51 Ha and 6,007.29 Ha. With the largest part in the very light class at the flood hazard level of 179,146.15 ha.
Overpressure-generating mechanisms in the Blok F3, North Sea, Netherland
Authors: Karin Khusmia , Sudarmaji .
Published: November 2021

Block F3 North Sea is a block with pore pressure values that vary over time due to complex geological conditions such as burial and various sedimentation zones. Pore pressure is one of the important aspects that need to be analyzed as a basis for the identification of zones and overpressure mechanisms. Overpressure is a greater pore pressure condition than normal pressure and may cause drilling problems, such as kicks, blowouts, etc. This study calculated pore pressure values using the eaton method approach with well data and seismic data. Both data are integrated for generating pore pressure values in 1D and 3D. 1D Modelling uses Interactive Petrophysics 3.5, while 3D modeling uses Petrel software. In 3D modeling, the variables used are interval velocity and inversion velocity obtained by acoustic impedance inversion. The sub-variables used are the inversion density and the regression density obtained from well density acoustic impedance inversion. The existence of a 1D overpressure zone at a depth of 1,100 – 1,800 m with an overpressure value of 3,836 – 18,975 kPa. In addition, the overpressure value based on the 3D model is 8,000 – 18,000 kPa. The overpressure zone is validated using an acoustic impedance inversion model with a high value of 5,200 – 5,380 (m/s)*(gr/cc). Overpressure in Block F3 is predicted to occur from disequilibrium compaction..
259. A (in)visibilidade da rede tecnopolítica bolsonarista
Authors: Egler Tamara Tania Cohen , Costa Thiago , Gonçalves Pedro Paulo
Published: November 2021

Qual foi a importância da rede tecnopolítica na eleição de Jair Bolsonaro para a presidência do Brasil? Essa pergunta, que orienta a nossa pesquisa, tem por objetivo investigar como a rede tecnopolítica orquestra uma comunicação virtual através de canais de alta fluidez e permite a formação de um coletivo coeso, que, pela mediação tecnológica, se torna um importante ator político. Para identificar os atores que participam dessa macro rede, procedemos a uma análise do espaço social virtual, aplicando a teoria dos campos de Bourdieu. Essa estratégia permitiu-nos decupar a macro rede em 8 (oito) campos, revelando como ela se forma na transversalidade das esferas política, midiática e econômica, para citar apenas as mais importantes. Metodologicamente, recorrendo à aplicação do programa Gephi, foi possível desenhar sua representação, que podemos ler em grafos, pela aplicação do programa worldclouds, foi possível identificar os principais atores nacionais e internacionais. Para tal, examinamos as relações estabelecidas entre os atores, suas práticas de comunicação e difusão, bem como os interesses que lhe deram origem. Os resultados a que chegamos deixam patente as diferentes formas de uso de redes tecnopolíticas, através das quais se desenvolvem estratégias de ação autoritárias, associadas à enunciação de uma narrativa manipulada, que cria uma realidade fictícia. Ela produz a atração rizomática de muitos seguidores, que se articulam em defesa de uma ideologia conservadora, e engendra um ator político nunca antes imaginado, que, se forma para além das formas de organização clássica em partidos políticos, vem a exercer o controle da nação e colocar em xeque a existência do Brasil como nação democrática e soberana.
Zulai y Yontá de María Fernández Le Capellain y el canon literario costarricense
Authors: Coto-Rivel Sergio
Published: November 2021

Las novelas cortas Zulai y Yontá de la escritora costarricense María Fernández Le Capellain publicadas a principios del siglo xx forman parte de una tendencia estética, ideológica y espiritual que tuvo una influencia considerable en las élites de la época (teosofía, masonería, etc.). Sin embargo, estas pueden ser estudiadas también dentro de los procesos de construcción del canon literario costarricense como un ejemplo de exclusión o invisibilización desde diferentes niveles. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar una serie de discursos producidos por la crítica literaria costarricense que condujo a considerar la obra de la autora, en el mejor de los casos, como un fenómeno menor dentro del desarrollo y evolución de las letras nacionales, excluida del proyecto de identidad nacional.

Aprender de modo autónomo en la universidad: una experiencia dentro de la asignatura de Antropología y Sociología del Arte con estudiantes de Bellas Artes
Authors: Herraiz García Fernando
Published: November 2021

El texto presenta una experiencia de aprender con estudiantes de Antropología y Sociología del Arte, asignatura de carácter obligatoria del primer año del grado en Bellas Artes. Considerando los cambios académicos que experimentan los estudiantes al iniciar sus carreras académicas, el curso planteó algunas estrategias de aprender de modo autónomo yendo más allá de los contenidos prescritos; para ello, por un lado, se propuso centrar el curso en los temas de interés de los estudiantes, y por otro, se les colocó en el lugar de investigadores que aprenden a partir de sus propias vivencias. Esta labor se desarrolló dentro de una perspectiva autoetnográfica de investigación asumiendo cuestiones que les situaban dentro del contexto social del arte vividas en primera persona. En este sentido, el presente artículo muestra la experiencia desde una doble dimensión: por un parte, aquella relacionada con los dilemas metodológicos y el papel de los estudiantes como autores de sus propios estudios; y por otro, una dimensión reflexiva en torno a aspectos de la sociología del arte puestos en cuestión desde la asignatura.
Valoración del desarrollo de competencias de los estudiantes mediante mapas perceptuales: Una aplicación en la Facultad de Economía y Empresa de la Universidad de Barcelona
Authors: Claveria Oscar , Pérez-Marín Ana María
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo se centra en la generación de mapas perceptuales de los ránkings de las percepciones y las expectativas de los graduados universitarios, los profesores y los empresarios en cuanto al desarrollo de competencias. La información parte de una encuesta realizada entre licenciados y académicos de la Facultad de Economía y Empresa de la Universidad de Barcelona y empresarios catalanes. En primer lugar se jerarquizan las competencias y habilidades desarrolladas durante los estudios universitarios. Los ránkings se combinan para los tres colectivos con el objetivo de proyectar visualmente el posicionamiento de los tres tipos de competencias (genéricas, personales y específicas) en mapas perceptuales generados mediante diferentes tipos de técnicas multivariantes de reducción de la dimensionalidad para datos ordinales (escalamiento multidimensional y componentes principales categóricos). A partir del análisis realizado, se observa un elevado consenso entre los tres colectivos por lo que respecta a la relevancia de las competencias. Los mapas perceptuales permiten captar el grado de similitud entre las competencias analizadas en términos de su posicionamiento. Así, destacan como mejor posicionadas la organización y planificación entre las competencias genéricas; la comunicación oral y escrita entre las personales; y la capacidad de aprendizaje entre las específicas.

Se pretende mostrar la importancia del feedback de observar el producto final para mejorar el diseño y estudiar el ciclo de vida completo, desde la idea conceptual hasta la fabricación final. Las limitaciones en la docencia universitaria para mostrar el producto final aplicado a un producto real, puede tener fin con la introducción de un nuevo proceso de fabricación, la fabricación aditiva, aplicado a un proyecto real.

La tasa de abandono es uno de los indicadores más utilizados en la valoración de los estudios de Grado universitarios. Analizar esta variable y los factores que influyen en ella puede aportar información de interés a tener en cuenta tanto por parte de la Dirección y profesorado del Grado, como por los propios estudiantes.Se parte de la información facilitada por el Servicio de Planificación Académico-docente de la Universidad de Barcelona de los estudiantes que han iniciado el Grado de Estadística, impartido conjuntamente por la Universidad de Barcelona (UB) y la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (UPC), desde 2009 a la actualidad. Se analiza qué factores socio-académicos de los nuevos estudiantes del Grado pueden influir en la probabilidad de abandono de éste. La metodología utilizada para ello ha sido un modelo de regresión logística (lógit).La vía y la nota de acceso al Grado, y el nivel de estudios de los padres, influyen significativamente en la tasa de abandono del Grado de Estadística. Concretamente: (i) los estudiantes que acceden al Grado a través de los ciclos formativos de grado superior presentan una tasa de abandono mayor que aquellos que lo hacen desde el bachillerato; (ii) una nota de acceso elevada disminuye la tasa de abandono y, por último, (iii) los estudiantes cuyos padres no tienen formación universitaria tienden a abandonar menos sus estudios de Grado.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo conocer las expectativas y valoraciones de futuros maestros respecto a las innovaciones que emplean sus docentes; objetivo enmarcado en un proyecto de investigación internacional, financiado por la Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica y Estudios Regionales de la Universidad Nacional de Jujuy y desarrollado entre los años 2012 y 2015.Con una metodología cualitativa y longitudinal, los datos se obtuvieron de una muestra de estudiantes del Grado de Maestro al inicio y en el último mes de su formación universitaria. Los principales resultados apuntan, aunque con matices, a que: 1) la forma en que los profesores enseñan condiciona la metodología de los futuros docentes; 2) las innovaciones tecnológicas han sido más relevantes que las metodológicas y 3) las características que muestra el docente en la creación de ambientes de aprendizaje se encuentran entre los aspectos destacados como necesarios para mejorar las experiencias formativas del alumnado.

Este trabajo analiza la utilidad percibida por los estudiantes y el uso que realizaron del campus virtual (CV) de la asignatura Ortopodología I del Grado en Podología en el curso académico 2019-20. La percepción de utilidad se estudió a través de una encuesta y para analizar el uso se exportaron y depuraron los registros generados en Moodle. Se analizó la relación entre el uso del CV y el rendimiento académico, el sexo y la edad. Participaron 106 estudiantes que generaron un total de 53.397 registros. El 33,96% de la clase cumplimentó la encuesta. El número medio de acciones registradas fue de 503,75±226,26. Las acciones con mayores registros fueron los accesos al sistema (38,67%), a los recursos (19,54%) y los cuestionarios (10,11%). Al 97,2% de los encuestados les gustó el planteamiento de la asignatura en el CV y el 58% valoró como buenos los contenidos. Las herramientas y elementos de aprendizaje mejor valorados fueron los documentos del profesor, los vídeos y el correo electrónico. Por el contrario, las tareas grupales fueron las peor valoradas. En conclusión, se ha observado un alto uso del CV y los contenidos y herramientas disponibles han sido consideradas muy útiles por los estudiantes.
Relationships of climate, human activity, and fire history to spatiotemporal variation in annual fire probability across California

In the face of recent wildfires across the Western United States, it is essential that we understand both the dynamics that drive the spatial distribution of wildfire, and the major obstacles to modeling the probability of wildfire over space and time. However, it is well documented that the precise relationships of local vegetation, climate, and ignitions, and how they influence fire dynamics, may vary over space and among local climate, vegetation, and land use regimes. This raises questions not only as to the nature of the potentially nonlinear relationships between local conditions and the fire, but also the possibility that the scale at which such models are developed may be critical to their predictive power and to the apparent relationship of local conditions to wildfire. In this study we demonstrate that both local climate–through limitations posed by fuel dryness (CWD) and availability (AET)–and human activity–through housing density, roads, electrical infrastructure, and agriculture, play important roles in determining the annual probabilities of fire throughout California. We also document the importance of previous burn events as potential barriers to fire in some environments, until enough time has passed for vegetation to regenerate sufficiently to sustain subsequent wildfires. We also demonstrate that long-term and short-term climate variations exhibit different effects on annual fire probability, with short-term climate variations primarily impacting fire probability during periods of extreme climate anomaly. Further, we show that, when using nonlinear modeling techniques, broad-scale fire probability models can outperform localized models at predicting annual fire probability. Finally, this study represents a powerful tool for mapping local fire probability across the state of California under a variety of historical climate regimes, which is essential to avoided emissions modeling, carbon accounting, and hazard severity mapping for the application of fire-resistant building codes across the state of California.
Urban forest biodiversity and cardiovascular disease: Potential health benefits from California’s street trees

Enhanced immune functioning in response to biodiversity may explain potential health benefits from exposure to green space. Using unique data on urban forest biodiversity at the zip code level for California measured from 2014 to 2019 we test whether greater diversity of street trees is associated with reduced death from cardiovascular disease. We find that urban forests with greater biodiversity measured via the Shannon Index at the genus level are associated with a lower mortality rate for heart disease and stroke. Our estimates imply that increasing the Shannon Index by one standard deviation (0.64) is associated with a decrease in the mortality rate of 21.4 per 100,000 individuals for heart disease or 13% and 7.7 per 100,000 individuals for stroke or 16%. Our estimates remain robust across several sensitivity checks. A policy simulation for tree planting in Los Angeles based on our estimates suggests that if these relationships were causal, investment in planting for a more biodiverse set of street trees would be a cost-effective way to reduce mortality related to cardiovascular disease in urban areas.
Three hundred years of Palmyrene history. Unlocking archaeological data for studying past societal transformations

Published: November 2021

While archaeological sciences have made great advances over the last decades through combining archaeological evidence and natural sciences in order to push borders for the understanding of archaeological contexts, traditional archaeology still holds an immense latent potential. Such potential can be realized through baseline projects that pull together unexplored bodies of material culture and study these in detail in order to investigate their significance for the understanding of the human past. This paper presents such a large-scale baseline study and focuses on the presentation of the results emerging from the recently compiled corpus of more than 3700 funerary portraits stemming from one location in the ancient world, Roman Palmyra, an oasis city in the Syrian Desert. The analysis of the chronological development of the numerous portraits allows us to follow the fluctuations in the production of these portraits over approximately 300 years. Here we discuss and review the developments in connection with historical sources and discuss until now unknown events, which have emerged through the data analysis. The paper brings to the forefront the significance of social science baseline projects, which often do not receive enough attention or funding, but which in fact are fundamental for furthering our understanding of the human past and push borders for the directions in which we can take such studies in the future.
