Se destaca el valor humanístico de Hernández, en contraste con la circunstancia histórica hispana de los 60 (carestía de presupuesto y de metales americanos, rebeliones americanas y europeas, mal conocimiento de los re­ cursos para establecer la política adecuada). Bajo este panorama, se interpreta la expedición de Hernández a México como un contraste entre las intenciones utilitarias oficiales y las científicas de Hernández.

Within the framework of the discussion about the existence of a spokesman in the Platonic dialogues, we look, in the first part, into the possible transfer of this spokesman’s function from Socrates to the Eleatic Stranger, identifying the contact and divergence points between both characters. In the second part, we try to show that this transfer has a dramatic staging at the beginning of the Sophist dialogue, where Socrates makes a demand that enables the Stranger to demonstrate his genuine philosophical condition.

Cette recherche qualitative explore les points de vue de mères, de pères et d'adolescents (n = 43) quant aux services reçus pour les problèmes cooccurrents de violence conjugale, de santé mentale et de consommation chez les parents. Les données ont été recueillies par des entrevues semi-dirigées, soutenues d'un outil de cartographie des services utilisés. L'analyse de contenu thématique montre que les participants déploient plusieurs stratégies pour faire face aux problèmes cooccurrents vécus et utilisent diverses ressources d'aide formelle et informelle. Plusieurs recommandations sont proposées pour améliorer l'offre d'aide aux familles en situation de cooccurrence, dont la concertation entre les différentes ressources concernées. This qualitative research explores the point of views of mothers, fathers, and teenagers (n = 43) about the services they received for co-occurring problems of intimate partner violence, mental health, and parental substance use. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, supported by a mapping tool of the services they used. The thematic content analysis shows that participants deploy several strategies to address co-occurring problems and use various formal and informal support resources. Several recommendations are proposed to improve the offer of assistance to families in situations of co-occurrence, including concertation between the different concerned resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Discusses foreign language methodologies since World War Two and critiques their objective, of forming near-native speakers. Some less restrictive alternatives are suggested favoring acceptance of diversity and encouraging the social development of the learners. (AMH)

This directory lists programs in 23 countries, for the most part at universities, that deal with French for Special Purposes, mostly in the scientific and technical areas. The annotated entries are listed by country. (AM)

Describes use of radio segments as a method for teaching French in Spain in order to develop listening comprehension while exposing students to global perspectives through use of authentic pieces. (BK)

Reviews the variety of approaches to language teaching covered by the term "functional," from those that focus on the learners' special objectives to those that stress the communicative aspect of languages. Sees the "Threshold Level French" elaborated in Europe as a blend of these approaches which contain several pitfalls. (MES)

The article discusses the care of abandoned children in León, Spain, during the 18th century. A particular focus is given to the care of abandoned city and rural children at the religious institution Casa de Misericordia Nuestra Señora La Blanca from 1700 to 1791. The authors examine the institution's admission registers, which include each child's detailed information, and analyze the regions where the children to be breast-fed were sent including their survival chances. Further discussion includes a look at the cultural, economic, and geographic diversity in the province of León and the temporary stay of children at the institution as a result of various family situations.

The article focuses on the study of the influence of the feminine relatives of the Roman knights from occidental provinces during the early Roman Empire, from ca 27 BCE to ca 235. According to the article, this study is based on a prosopographical research and aims to analyze the role of these women in the society of that period and their attitude toward their close relatives and how they contributed to their promotion at the Senate or the equestrian order. The author emphasizes the importance of mothers or in-laws in terms of social power.

The article offers a response to the book "La Nouvelle Judéophobie," by French philosopher Pierre-André Tagueiff. Topics include European right wing politics and the question of antisemitism, a discussion of categories of antisemitism, and Judeophobia on the right and left wing political fronts in Europe.

The aim of this research is to analyse children's inter-age relationships in rural schools, given that the low number of pupils can limit the possibilities of socialising with children of the same age, encouraging relationships with older or younger classmates, both in the classroom and in the playgrounds. The research carried out was a mixed research, using a questionnaire sent to rural schools all over the country, and ethnographic fieldwork during four months in a rural school. The results show the good inter-age relationships that are generated in these environments and the good influence that multi-grade education has on the education and integral development of children. The study concludes by highlighting the value of children's inter-age relationships in rural schools and calling for further studies to increase knowledge on the subject.

En la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, los obispos Fray José Lupia y Fernández de Velasco y Pantoja visitaron, el primero en varias ocasiones, gran parte de las parroquias que conformaban la diócesis legionense. El objetivo de esas visitas era conocer el estado espiritual de la demarcación que regentaban. En la actual provincia de León, recorrieron los arcedianatos de Mayorga y Cea y cuatro, de las diez, vicarias. Los resultados de sus observaciones y de la información que recopilaron los dejaron registrados en un cuaderno. Tales anotaciones constituyen una fuente de información inestimable para conocer todos aquellos aspectos en los que consideraron que era necesario intervenir, para corregir costumbres o comportamientos, de laicos y eclesiástico, que no se adecuaban a la religiosidad oficial. Por otro lado, esta documentación también nos da cuenta de qué personas detentaban los patronatos, de las devociones o las obras pías.

Abstract Background Validation by data truncation is a common practice in genetic evaluations because of the interest in predicting the genetic merit of a set of young selection candidates. Two of the most used validation methods in genetic evaluations use a single data partition: predictivity or predictive ability (correlation between pre-adjusted phenotypes and estimated breeding values (EBV) divided by the square root of the heritability) and the linear regression (LR) method (comparison of “early” and “late” EBV). Both methods compare predictions with the whole dataset and a partial dataset that is obtained by removing the information related to a set of validation individuals. EBV obtained with the partial dataset are compared against adjusted phenotypes for the predictivity or EBV obtained with the whole dataset in the LR method. Confidence intervals for predictivity and the LR method can be obtained by replicating the validation for different samples (or folds), or bootstrapping. Analytical confidence intervals would be beneficial to avoid running several validations and to test the quality of the bootstrap intervals. However, analytical confidence intervals are unavailable for predictivity and the LR method. Results We derived standard errors and Wald confidence intervals for the predictivity and statistics included in the LR method (bias, dispersion, ratio of accuracies, and reliability). The confidence intervals for the bias, dispersion, and reliability depend on the relationships and prediction error variances and covariances across the individuals in the validation set. We developed approximations for large datasets that only need the reliabilities of the individuals in the validation set. The confidence intervals for the ratio of accuracies and predictivity were obtained through the Fisher transformation. We show the adequacy of both the analytical and approximated analytical confidence intervals and compare them versus bootstrap confidence intervals using two simulated examples. The analytical confidence intervals were closer to the simulated ones for both examples. Bootstrap confidence intervals tend to be narrower than the simulated ones. The approximated analytical confidence intervals were similar to those obtained by bootstrapping. Conclusions Estimating the sampling variation of predictivity and the statistics in the LR method without replication or bootstrap is possible for any dataset with the formulas presented in this study.
