Defensa de bienes comunes naturales y decolonialidad: caso Xochicuautla, México/ Defense of natural common goods and decoloniality: the Xochicuautla, Mexico, case
Authors: Mota Díaz Laura , Hernández Lara Oliver Gabriel 
Published: October 2017

El presente artículo intenta comprender las dinámicas provenientes de movimientos sociales latinoamericanos relacionados con la defensa de bienes comunes naturales. Ello, a partir de dos enfoques: las epistemologías del Sur y la perspectiva del pensamiento crítico decolonial, para dar cuenta de las luchas y resistencias, así como de las propuestas que emergen desde colectivos sociales que ven amenazados sus territorios por la actual ofensiva capitalista. Para ello, retomamos el caso de la lucha en San Francisco Xochicuautla, Lerma, estado de México, al que consideramos un referente de los actuales movimientos sociales, en el contexto mexicano. De este modo, caracterizamos la lucha de la comunidad de Xochicuautla, para destacar cómo se articulan sus demandas, exigencias, alternativas, prácticas y discursos con otros movimientos más amplios que actúan en el territorio nacional, y cómo ello aporta a las construcciones teóricas latinoamericanas. En términos metodológicos, recurrimos al análisis documental extenso, la revisión y reflexión teórica, así como al trabajo de campo en la comunidad de Xochicuautla.AbstractThe present article tries to understand the dynamics from Latin American social movements related to the defense of common natural resources. This, from two approaches: the southern epistemologies, and the perspective of critical and decolonial thinking to account for the struggles and resistance, as well as the proposals that emerge from social groups whose territories are threatened by the current capitalist offensive. To do this, we return to the case of the struggle in San Francisco Xochicuautla, Lerma, estado de México, which we consider as a benchmark of the social movements of the present, in the Mexican context. Thus, we characterize the struggle in the community of Xochicuautla, to highlight how their demands, requirements, alternatives, practices and discourses articulate to broader movements occurring in the country, and how this is a contribution the Latin American theoretical constructs. In terms of methodology, we use the extensive documental analysis, review and theoretical reflection, as well as field work in the community of Xochicuautla.

Propiedad y territorio como (diferentes) bienes comunes. El caso de las tierras de comunidades en la costa norte peruana/Property and territory as (different) common property. Community lands on the northern coast of Peru
Authors: Diez Hurtado Alejandro 
Published: October 2017

El artículo aborda el problema de la tierra comunal desde la perspectiva de los bienes comunes en los cambiantes y nuevos contextos contemporáneos. A través del análisis de dos comunidades del norte del Perú, muestra los cambios en los contenidos de los bienes comunes como en las organizaciones comunales que los gobiernan. Se desarrolla primero el proceso de formación de la propiedad comunal como bien colectivo, construido en el proceso de defensa de la tierra frente a las haciendas, analizando luego la problemática de la comunidad de Catacaos, sometida a presiones de titulación de tierras agrícolas y de vivienda, obligando a la comunidad a ensayar mecanismos de gobierno territorial. El caso de Sechura ilustra los procesos que se desencadenan cuando la comunidad recibe una renta por la tierra comunal, por derechos de uso del suelo para actividades extractivas, generando un nuevo bien colectivo que es motivo de disputa en el marco del desarrollo de reivindicaciones y defensa territorial que no pasa por la comunidad. Tratamos de mostrar que los cambios en los bienes comunes (hacia la titulación, la rentabilización o la territorialización) desencadenan crisis en las dirigencias comunales que pasan de lógicas de gobierno a lógicas de gobernanza de la tierra. Además, al involucrar otros actores en la disposición sobre los bienes comunes, éstos pueden ser considerados como semi-comunes o semi-públicos.AbstractThis article addresses the problem of communal land from the perspective of common goods in the changing and new contemporary contexts. Through the analysis of two communities in northern Peru, shows the changes in the contents of the common goods as in the communal organizations that govern them. The process of formation of communal property is first developed as a collective good, built in the process of defending the land against the haciendas. Then the case of community of Catacaos, shows how the pressures of titling agricultural land and housing land, are forcing the community to test territorial governance mechanisms. The case of Sechura illustrates the processes that are triggered when the community receives a rent for communal land, for land use rights for extractive activities. That generating a new collective good disputed and a development of claims and defense the territory without the community. We try to show how changes in common goods (towards titling, profitability or territorialization) trigger crises in communal leaderships that go from logics of government to logics of land governance. In addition, by involving other actors in the provision on common goods, these goods can be considered as semi-common or semi-public.

How to Avoid Predicaments in Human Improvement. Review of the Russian Edition of the Book: Cohen D. K. Teaching and Its Predicaments
Authors: Gusejnov Gasan 
Published: October 2017

An answer is sought for the question as to why the United States remain the most attractive place in the world to get tertiary education despite its permanent secondary school crisis, based on what David Cohen reveals about U.S. education as well as what he would probably prefer not to disclose but which becomes obvious from his book. The U.S. tertiary education system makes good use of the best outcomes of secondary education from all over the world to develop the most advanced forms of higher education. Their education system rests on a self-organizing social environment, which has been great at adjusting to changing global trends. The attitude towards education as a constantly renewing process of criticizing the foundations and traditions of teaching is a key element of the worldwide influence of American universities. The article is focused on describing the mechanisms of adjusting the social environment through the development of outstripping forms of educational institutions and projects.

Published: October 2017

The present study investigated the effects of writing reader response journals (RRJ) on the quality of responses to literary works assigned. The study is underpinned by Rosenblatt’s Reader Response Theory, literacy principles, and sociocultural views. The study assumes that readers’ responses to literature involve critical and aesthetic reading-writing (literacy) events that are collaboratively constructed. The study involved an intact group (N=22) comprising EFL teacher trainees of a private education college in Ciamis, Indonesia, taking Literature Criticism subject. This time series pre-experimental study entailed repeated measurements of critical reading and assessments of aesthetic responses before and after the treatment. Before the treatment, New Critics’ conventional text-based teaching strategies were given. Findings of the study suggest that, quantitatively, as ANOVA proved, the use of reader response journal gave effects on the constantly better achievements, and, as the Paired t-Test indicated, the treatment resulted in better quality. Additionally, qualitative evidences revealed from observation, interviews, and document analysis showed better quality of the trainees’ aesthetic experiences reflecting varied reader response strategies. The study recommends further studies develop reader response-based literature teaching model across contexts in reference to gender issues.

Authors: Karimi Mehrnoush , Biria Reza 
Published: October 2017

This study scrutinized the interaction between gender and risk taking variables in test performance of Iranian EFL learners. The research was conducted on 120 male and female EFL learners from Islamic Azad university of Isfahan (khorasgan). The participants received a Venturesomeness subscale of Eysenck `s IVE questionnaire and were asked to rate each item on a 5point Likert-scale. The total score for this questionnaire ranges from 16 to 80. Students who were lower than 30 were considered as low risk-takers, those who were more than 70 as high risk-takers, and those between 30 and 70 as moderate risk-takers. In a weeks’ time, a complete TOEFL PBT test comprising 140- multiple-choice items as the second instrument was administrated. The results revealed that the female EFL students were lower risk takers and left questions unanswered more frequently and skipped questions a lot more than their male counterparts. Finally, it was found out that low risk takers answered the least number of questions in comparison to high and moderate risk takers, and consequently, had the most number of questions left unanswered which had a negative effect on test takers’ performance.

Authors: Dogan Ahmet , Bengisoy Ayse 
Published: October 2017

This study was conducted with the purpose of finding out the opinions of teachers working at special education centers about inclusive education. The study was conducted with teachers working at a special education center in Famagusta, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, in the academic year of 2016-2017. Qualitative methodology was used in the research. Using semi-structured interview technique, face-to-face interviews were held with teachers of various ages, length of service, gender and of different undergraduate and graduate degrees who work at the special education center. Face-to-face interviews were recorded with voice recorders. The teachers were first informed on the reason of the interview and the reason for which the data would be used. Descriptive analysis technique was used in the analysis of data. According to research findings, teachers working at the special education center stated that there was no special education and inclusion law in Northern Cyprus, that the law should be passed at once, that inclusive education should be regulated with this law and arbitrary practices should be ended and that uncertainties should be eliminated. They emphasized that school managers and teachers were inadequate and ignorant about inclusive education, that especially teachers were unable to prepare and implement BEP programs, and that both teachers and managers should be subjected to compulsory on-the-job training on inclusive education. They argued that supporting education services were inadequate, special education teachers should be assigned to schools where inclusive education was offered and teachers should be given sufficient support and supportive education rooms should be designed and used properly. In conclusion, teachers working at special education centre suggested that the problems in inclusive education were entirely caused by legal gaps; that existing laws were inadequate for which reason a special education and inclusion law should be passed immediately and emphasis should be given to on-the-job training activities.
Keywords: Inclusion/integration, special education, special education teachers, opinions on inclusion / integration.
La disciplina della giurisdizione nel Regolamento (UE) n. 2016/679 concernente il trattamento dei dati personali e il suo coordinamento con la disciplina contenuta nel regolamento “Bruxelles i-bis” = Jurisdiction under Regulation (EU) no. 2016/679 concerning the processing of personal data and its coordination with the “Brussels i-bis” regulation

Published: October 2017

Riassunto: Lo scritto esamina le regole di giurisdizione contenute nel regolamento (UE) n.2016/679 relativo alla protezione delle persone fisiche con riguardo al trattamento dei dati personali, le quali si presentano come strumentali all’obiettivo di garantire una tutela giurisdizionale effettiva dei diritti riconosciuti dal regolamento a favore degli individui titolari dei dati nei confronti dei soggetti responsabili del trattamento dei dati stessi. Tali regole, pur apprezzabili nel loro intento di fornire una disciplina specifica della giurisdizione relativamente alle controversie prese in considerazione, pongono nondimeno alcuni problemi di coordinamento con la disciplina della giurisdizione nelle controversie civil e commerciali come attualmente contenuta nel regolamento (UE) n. 1215/2012 o “Bruxelles I-bis”, i quali non sono adeguatamente affrontati nelle disposizioni del nuovo regolamento.Parole chiave: Giurisdizione; Regolamento (UE) n. 2016/679; Trattamento dei dati personali; Tutela giurisdizionale effettiva; Regolamento (UE) n. 1215/2012 (“Bruxelles I-bis”).Abstract: The present paper addresses the rules on jurisdiction contained in Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 concerning the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. These rules appear instrumental to the pursuit of the fundamental goal of guaranteeing an effective judicial protection of the rights granted to individuals as concerns the processing of their personal data against those subjects who are responsible for the said processing. These rules, welcome as they are in their purpose of providing special fora expressly tailored in respect of the eculiarities of the litigation concerned, fall short of addressing adequately the problems of coordination which they raise in respect of the rules on jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters as currently set out under Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012 (s.c. “Brussels Ia” Regulation).Keywords: Jurisdiction; Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679; Processing of Personal Data; Right to an Effective Judicial Remedy; Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012 (“Brussels Ia”).

Proximal and Functional Properties of Edible Ripened Split Beans of Coastal Wild Legume Canavalia maritima
Authors: Supriya Prabhavathi , Sridhar Kandikere R. 
Published: October 2017

Background:
Utilization of wild legumes has received prime importance in the recent past
to compensate the scarcity of protein-rich foods as well as to tackle the protein energy malnutrition.
Ripened split beans of Canavalia maritima devoid of seed coat and testa serve as traditional nutraceutical
source for the coastal dwellers of Southwest India.

Objective:
The present study projects proximal and functional attributes of uncooked and cooked ripened
split beans of C. maritima to be used in the preparation of functional foods.

Methods:
Proximal properties (moisture, crude protein, total lipids, crude fibre, carbohydrates and
calorific value) and functional properties (protein solubility, gelation capacity, water-absorption, oilabsorption,
emulsion qualities and foam qualities) of split beans were evaluated by standard methods.

Results:
Cooking did not significantly changed the crude protein, total lipids, ash, carbohydrates and
calorific value, while it significantly increased the crude fibre. The protein solubility, water-absorption
capacity, foam capacity and foam stability were significantly higher in uncooked than cooked beans.
The cooked beans were superior to uncooked beans in least gelation concentration, low oil-absorption
capacity, emulsion activity and emulsion stability.

Conclusion:
The functional properties of split bean flours were influenced by the proximal components
like crude protein, total lipids and crude fibre. The energy-rich ripened split beans of C. maritima
can serve as a new potential source for production of value added functional foods owing to their
rich protein, rich carbohydrates, low-lipid and potential bioactive attributes.

Published: October 2017

Objectives:The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) 50 has good agreement with European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response measures for early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). There have been reports on early RA, but not on long-established RA. In this study, we analysed the relationships between various baseline factors and SDAI 50 after three months of treatment with biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) to determine the prognostic factors for long-established RA.Methods:Subjects were 260 RA patients who had been treated with bDMARDs for 3 months. The following characteristics were investigated: Patient backgrounds, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein and serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 levels, SDAI scores, and health assessment questionnaire disability index and short form-36 scores. As a primary outcome index, the SDAI response was defined as a 50% reduction in the SDAI score between baseline and 3 months (SDAI 50).Results:Baseline values of disease duration (odds ratio: 0.942, 95% CI: 0.902-0.984), smoking history (odds ratio: 2.272, 1.064-4.850), 28-tender joint count (odds ratio: 0.899, 0.827-0.977), evaluator's global assessment (odds ratio: 1.029, 1.012-1.047) and ESR (odds ratio: 1.015, 1.001-1.030) were determined to be significant factors based on logistic regression analysis.Conclusion:Our study demonstrated that RA patients with shorter disease duration, no smoking, and higher RA disease activity are more likely to achieve SDAI 50 through bDMARD treatment.
