PurposeTo assess the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for the discrimination of complete responder (CR) from the non-complete responder (n-CR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) undergoing chemotherapy and radiation (CRT).Material and methodsBetween December 2009 and January 2014, 32 patients (33 lesions: one patient had two synchronous lesions) were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent a pre- and post-CRT conventional MRI study completed with DWI. For both data sets (T2-weighted and DWI), the pre- and post-CRT tumour volume (VT2; VDWI) and the tumour volume reduction ratio (∆V%) were determined as well as pre- and post-CRT apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and ADC change (∆ADC%). Histopathological findings were the standard of reference. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare performance of T2-weighted and DWI volumetry, as well as ADC.ResultsThe area under the ROC curve (AUC) revealed a good accuracy of pre- and post-CRT values of VT2 (0.86; 0.91) and VDWI (0.82; 1.00) as well as those of ΔVT2% (0.84) and ΔVDWI% (1.00) for the CR assessment, with no statistical difference. The AUC of pre- and post-CRT ADC (0.53; 0.54) and that of ΔADC% (0.58) were significantly lower.ConclusionsBoth post-CRT VDWI and ΔVDWI% (AUC = 1) are very accurate for the assessment of the CR, in spite of no significant differences in comparison to the conventional post-CRT VT2 (AUC = 0.91) and ΔVT2% (AUC = 0.84). On the contrary, both ADC and ΔADC% values are not reliable.

Published: January 2019

AbstractThis study explores the conceptual investigational foundations of how two existing concepts of supply chain exploitative practices and supply chain explorative practices together may further inform the balanced theory of port competitiveness (BTOPC). The defined and validated factors of the BTOPC are further investigated via the lens offered by ambidextrous supply chain strategy, which is defined and measured through the simultaneous practice of exploitative and explorative activities. The exploratory nature of this study aims to help academics to further the theory of port competitiveness and assist practitioners in improving port management. Eight in-person interviews with practitioner and academic port experts were conducted in addition to follow-up telephone conversations. This study finds that supply chain exploitative and explorative practices indeed offer a unique vantage view for assessing the port competitiveness when utilizing the BTOPC factors.

Smart enforcement of social security law: Lessons from a national survey among welfare recipients in the Netherlands
Using survey data from 1,300 welfare recipients in the Netherlands, this paper explores the effects of different enforcement styles in the field of social security law. Although most policy debates focus on punitive and persuasive enforcement, our findings suggest that both styles only play a limited role in explaining regulatory compliance. Our study also shows that the level of compliance among welfare recipients is related to their ‘motivational postures’ (Braithwaite 2003; 2009; 2011). While some of these ‘postures’ are shaped by elements of procedural justice, others are related to the perceived legitimacy of laws or to instrumental motives. Given these findings, we suggest that compliance with social security laws may not only depend on punitive or persuasive enforcement, but also on the degree in which regulatory enforcement is attuned to the individual characteristics of welfare recipients. Finally, these ideas are translated into several practical suggestions for the ‘smart enforcement’ of social security law.

El objeto de nuestro estudio es analizar la influencia que tienen las nuevas metodologías docentes, sobre la presentación de los estudiantes a las pruebas de evaluación planificadas en los Grados en una Escuela de Ingeniería Universitaria.Se han comparado los resultados de la tasa de expectativa de los antiguos y nuevos títulos; éstos últimos adaptados al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES). Desde el punto de vista estadístico, nuestro estudio ratifica que existen diferencias significativas en la mejora de la tasa de expectativa con la adaptación al EEES.Las conclusiones más destacadas del estudio hacen referencia al cambio que se está produciendo en la mentalidad del estudiante, se evidencia una mejora del estudiante en el conocimiento adquirido sobre las asignaturas que repercute en que se pueda presentar a las pruebas de evaluación planteadas, es decir el estudiante de Bolonia asume un grado superior de responsabilidad.
The purpose of our study is to analyze the influence of new teaching methods on students taking assessment tests for their degree at an Engineering School. We compare the expectation rate in former and current degrees adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). From a statistical point of view, our study confirms that there are significant differences in the improvement of the expectation rate following the adaptation to the EHEA. The most relevant conclusions of the study refer to the changes that are occurring in the mentality of students when studying for their degree. There is an improvement in the knowledge gained by students in course subjects, which has an influence on whether they decide to actually take assessment tests. That is to say, Bologna students take on a higher level of responsibility.

Este trabajotiene como objetivos la creación y validación de una traducción al catalán delcuestionario Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST),analizar cuáles son los estilos de aprendizaje adoptados por los estudiantesuniversitarios y la influencia del género y de la modalidad de estudios. Se aplicó el instrumento a 834 estudiantes de la Universidad de Girona. De losresultados obtenidos se desprende que el alumnado encuestado presenta mayoritariamenteun enfoque profundo si bien en el análisis diferencial por género se observaque las mujeres optaron más por un enfoque estratégico mientras que en loshombres predomina el enfoque profundo. Respecto a si la modalidad de estudioinfluye en los estilos de aprendizaje, se observa que los alumnos de Ciencias yTecnología presentan una prevalencia en el enfoque profundo mientras que los deHumanidades y Educación presentan un enfoque más estratégico.
The aim of this study is to measure the psychometric properties of a Catalan translation of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST), and to analyse the different learning styles used by university students, considering the influence of gender and type of studies. The instrument was administered to 834 students at the University of Girona. The results showed that most students interviewed had a deep approach to learning, although the analysis by gender showed that females tended to use a more strategic approach, while males used a deep approach predominantly. As to whether the type of studies influenced learning styles, a prevalence of deep approach was found among Science and Technology students, while a more strategic approach was found among Humanities and Education students.
Factores asociados a la brecha regional del rendimiento español en la evaluación PISA
Authors: Gil Flores Javier 
Published: January 2019

Estudiamos las diferencias de rendimiento entre las comunidades españolas que ampliaron muestra en la evaluación PISA 2012, identificando dos bloques de comunidades con altas y bajas puntuaciones en el conjunto de competencias evaluadas. Ambos bloques se corresponden geográficamente con territorios del norte y sur del país. Partiendo de un conjunto de indicadores regionales de tipo socioeconómico y educativo que correlacionan con el rendimiento, caracterizamos las comunidades de cada bloque a partir de las diferencias de medias en cada indicador y valoramos su significación a través de métodos bootstrap. Los resultados muestran que, en relación a la brecha regional de rendimiento, los factores exógenos de carácter socioeconómico y cultural juegan un papel más relevante que los recursos destinados a la educación o las características del sistema educativo autonómico consideradas en nuestro análisis.
The present study compares the differences in achievement level between the autonomous communities of Spain that extended their sample in the PISA assessment. Two groups of communities were identified within the national territory, one with high scores and another one with low scores on the assessed competencies. Both groups correspond geographically to autonomous communities in the north and the south of Spain, respectively. By using a range of regional indicators of achievement such as socio-economic and educational indicators, the study attempts to characterize the autonomous communities within each group by analyzing mean differences for each indicator. These differences are then evaluated using bootstrap techniques. The results show that in relation to the achievement gap between regions, exogenous socio-economic and cultural factors play a more important role than educational resources or the characteristics of the regional educational system considered in our analysis.

La reciente regulación legal y social de la infancia y la adolescencia en situación de riesgo en España hace que sea necesario la generación de un cuerpo de investigación que desde el ámbito de la educación fomente factores protectores y favorezca el bienestar de los menores, ya que a pesar de la heterogeneidad que caracteriza a esta población, el fomento de su éxito educativo será sin duda la mejor medida preventiva de la situación de riesgo. La muestra fue de 232 estudiantes declarados en situación de riesgo, con bajo (115 estudiantes) y buen rendimiento académico (117 estudiantes) escolarizados en Educación Secundaria, de los que se recogió información sobre variables personales y sociofamiliares que guardan relación con el rendimiento. En relación a las variables personales, los resultados mostraron que los alumnos que tienen un buen rendimiento académico se caracterizan por tener mayores puntuaciones en sus metas académicas, atribuyen su éxito académico a su propia capacidad y esfuerzo y perciben un mayor apoyo familiar afectivo de su familia. Respecto a las variables familiares, se encontró que los alumnos que tienen un buen rendimiento se caracterizan por tener un mayor porcentaje de padres con titulación universitaria, padres y madres que trabajan como funcionarios y madres que esperan que su hijo o hija alcance una titulación universitaria. Como conclusión se confirma la importancia del trabajo conjunto desde los ámbitos educativo y social para prevenir el fracaso escolar.
The recent legal and social regulation of childhood and adolescence at risk in Spain makes it necessary to create a body of research that encourages, from the field of education, protective factors and promotes the wellbeing of children, because despite of the heterogeneity that characterizes this population, the promotion of educational success will undoubtedly be the best preventive measure of the risk situation. The sample was of 232 students declared at risk, with students of low (115) and good academic achievement (117) enrolled in Secondary Education, of which we collected information about personal and family variables that are related to achievement. Regarding the personal variables, results showed that students that have a good academic achievement are characterized by higher scores in their academic goals, they attribute their academic success to their own capacity and effort and they perceive a greater affective family support from their family. Regarding family variables, we found that students with good academic achievement have a higher percentage of parents with a university degree, parents who work in the public sector and mothers who expect that their son or daughterwill achieve a university degree. In conclusion, the importance of working together from the educational and social levels to prevent school failure is confirmed.

Published: January 2019

Para mejorar la calidad educativa, es fundamental investigar y visibilizar buenas prácticas docentes. Desde hace varios años y en esta línea, las autoras intervienen en proyectos de innovación e investigación centrados en la Educación Infantil, lo que les ha permitido conocer y analizar la realidad educativa de esta etapa. Este artículo se centra en los resultados de un proyecto concreto de investigación, en el que participan universidades de ámbito europeo y latinoamericano con el objetivo de reconocer, analizar, normalizar, representar y hacer visibles 100 buenas prácticas en Educación Infantil, en un marco plural de características y condiciones. Se emplea una metodología cualitativa que permite vincular creencias implícitas con las prácticas docentes, y se recopilan los datos mediante entrevistas, observaciones en el aula y registros. En esta ocasión se presentan los criterios registrados por el grupo de investigación para reconocer buenas prácticas en el tramo 0-3 años, donde se evidencian, mediante las narrativas de las docentes, apoyadas por las observaciones y registros realizados en el aula, los componentes conceptuales y operacionales que caracterizan una buena praxis en Educación Infantil, en la línea de estudios precedentes.
To improve the educational quality, it is fundamental to investigate and make visible good teaching practices. For several years and in this line, the authors have intervened in innovation and research projects focused on early childhood education, which has allowed them to know and analyze the educational reality of this stage. Specifically this work that is now presented, is the result of a subsequent research project, in which European universities and Latin American universities participate, with the aim of detecting, analyzing, systematizing and representing 100 good practices in Early Childhood Education, in a framework of plural characteristics and conditions. A qualitative methodology is used to link assumed beliefs with teaching practices, and data are collected through interviews, observations in the classroom and records. This article presents some of the criteria proposed by the research group to identify good practices, in the 0-3year period, where they are evidenced, through the narratives of the teachers, supported by the observations and records made in the classroom, the conceptual and operative components that characterize a good praxis in Infantile Education.

Published: January 2019

El Abandono Escolar Temprano es un problema que preocupa a los países de todo el mundo. Esto se debe a que afecta directamente tanto a la vida de los estudiantes que abandonan como a la sociedad en general. El objetivo del presente estudio es conocer la percepción que tienen los docentes de las etapas de Educación Primaria, Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato sobre las variables más influyentes en el Abandono Escolar Temprano. La investigación llevada a cabo sigue una metodología de encuesta, mediante la administración de un cuestionario con 85 variables identificadas en la literatura científica. Se obtuvieron 134 respuestas de docentes de toda España. Los resultados indican que las variables consideradas más relacionadas con el Abandono Escolar Temprano son las vinculadas a características individuales y familiares. En menor medida, se consideran relacionadas la actividad escolar del individuo como estudiante, la actitud del profesorado, el comportamiento de los compañeros de clase y las características del centro. Se concluye que estamos ante un fenómeno de causas complejas que no debe ser abordado exclusivamente desde una perspectiva académica sino multidisciplinar.
Early School Leaving is a problem that worries countries around the world. This is because it directly affects both the lives of students who abandon and society in general. The objective of the present study is to know the perception that Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education and Upper Secondary Education teachers have on the most influential variables that affect Early School Leaving. The research carried out follows a survey methodology, by administering a questionnaire with 85 variables identified in the scientific literature. 134 responses were obtained from teachers throughout Spain. The results indicate that the variables considered more related to Early School Leaving are those related to individual and family characteristics. To a lesser extent, the school activity of the individual as a student, the attitude of the faculty, the behaviour of the classmates and the characteristics of the school are considered related. We conclude that we are facing a phenomenon of complex causes that should not be approached exclusively from an academic perspective but multidisciplinary.
Le trésor de la langue de René Lussier : documentation d’un voyage, de la quête linguistique au débat politique
Authors: Dall’Ara-Majek Ana 
Published: January 2019

Chef-d’oeuvre du compositeur et musicien René Lussier, Le trésor de la langue s’articule autour de trois axes : l’approche musicale et linguistique fait état de la particularité de l’oeuvre à transcrire instrumentalement la voix parlée tout en la réorchestrant dans des styles musicaux variés ; l’approche documentaire se focalise sur le récit du voyage du compositeur entre Montréal et Québec, et offre un témoignage de l’oeuvre en train de se faire ; enfin l’approche historique fait le lien entre la documentation collectée et agencée par le compositeur, et les enjeux historiques et politiques qui s’en dégagent, remettant sur le devant de la scène les événements marquants du xxe siècle, notamment le débat sur la souveraineté et l’épineuse question identitaire au Québec.
Dis-moi ta vision de la spiritualité et je te montrerai l’univers de ta danse
Authors: Pouliot Étienne 
Published: January 2019

Trois déplacements majeurs dans la conception de la spiritualité sont présentés en vue de fournir à cet égard des repères épistémiques et historiques, relativement à la tradition philosophique occidentale et de la tradition spirituelle chrétienne. Les renversements de perspective qui s’y sont opérés définissent de façon liminaire une orientation tantôt objective, tantôt subjective, tantôt langagière (rapport sujet-objet lui-même) de la spiritualité. Des considérations tout aussi liminaires sur le corps et la danse sont proposées en conséquence. Par cette analyse, la spiritualité se voit progressivement accorder la place de principe herméneutique et le rôle de pratique herméneutique, la faisant passer d’un traitement mimétique à une approche sémiotique : d’où les effets sur la question de la danse et du corps.
Crisis y Revolución

Conforme acontece na atualidade, o capital desloca a força de trabalho em todas as indústrias, serviços e atividades, assim como em todos os países, territórios e regiões do mundo inteiro; de preferência, os trabalhadores são despedidos e se transferem para atividades especulativas características do <em>capital fictício. </em>Essa menor disposição de força de trabalho termina por castigar severamente a taxa média de lucro e, com o tempo, acaba precipitando a crise. A crise capitalista em curso deriva da insuficiência e, até certo ponto, da incapacidade dos mecanismos do sistema para gerar suficiente produção de valor no processo de trabalho, para valorizar o capital investido (em meios de produção, matérias primas e em força de trabalho ou capital variável); para criar mais valia e restituir o aumento da taxa de lucro. Essas limitações do capital financeiro (<em>capital fictício)</em> provocam o desvio para a esfera especulativa e contribuem na formação de bolhas especulativas nefastas em áreas como as imobiliárias, energéticas e de alimentos. Por mais que continue a aumentar a produtividade, a se desenvolver a revolução tecnológica e a “se poupar a força de trabalho”, a redução do tempo socialmente necessário para a produção de mercadorias e de força de trabalho vai se tornando cada vez mais difícil e marginal. É desse modo que o sistema capitalista entra numa crise orgânica, estrutural e “civilizacional”, tal como acontece na atualidade. Ir além do capital significa construir as estruturas e superestruturas da nova sociedade não capitalista baseada em um novo modo de produzir, de trabalho e de relações sociais humanas harmoniosas e solidárias. Dificilmente gesta-se uma revolução exitosa sem a educação dos seus protagonistas, ou seja, as massas organizadas em frentes, partidos e sindicatos, que permita elevar o nível de consciência social, política e cultural. Para isso é preciso uma breve análise do núcleo da crise do sistema.</span></p></font></span><p align="left"> </p>
