The emancipatory pattern has allowed the foundation and development of the nursing discipline, towards a way of thinking from critical theory. The purpose of the study is to reflect on the possibility that the nursing professional has to develop through the personal pattern a strategy for the emancipation of consciousness in heteronormative-patriarchal structures within the control state apparatuses (health institutions) where technification, medicalization and pathologization of life is above self-care and health care as a human experience. To address the issue, the analytical category of Gender was used in a transversal way, which allows to make visible the power relations that generate inequalities based on sexual difference. Then, it is understood that all things, people or professions perceived as feminine (as in the case of the nursing profession) are subordinated and oppressed compared to those perceived as masculine. Caring and knowledge patterns for self-care are proposed as resistance to inequalities generated by the integration of the biomedical-heteropatriarchal model in nursing thought and practice.

In the last decades, medicine has experienced intense technological, political and cultural changes that have reconfigured the role of the physician. To characterize the actual status of the medical profession, this article discusses the crisis in the medical profession through the identification and analysis of 6 macrosocial phenomena that can be traced through the sociological perspective including commercialism, managerialism and medicalization. Aside of these tendencies, it seems that it is in the daily encounter of the physician and the new role of the patient where these changes are reproduced and strengthened. The analysis nourishes from a sociological perspective by eliciting the classical attributes of the profession: monopoly of knowledge, auto-regulation, mandate and license. In the light of this concept, it becomes clear that the first three attributes suffer an involution, which offers insight to reexamine the grounds in which the concept was constructed, and to reflect on the implications for medical education.

This article deals with the ideology of medical professionals in order to understand the meanings attributed to their profession, taking Thompson's theory as a starting point and centering on the categories of autonomy, norms and values, and social recognition. Twenty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical professionals in Amecameca, a municipality in the State of Mexico, from March to October 2019, in four sectors of service provision: public institutional, private institutional, private practice, and mixed practice. The analysis of meanings expressed by medical professionals with respect to each category of interest reveals that medical professionals are conditioned by the structure of state control and by the commodified economy, where private forms of medical practice are more highly regarded. In the ideological conformation of the medical profession, there remains a practical component imbued with a liberal romanticism in an extinct scenario that still exists today, without being articulated to more general social processes.

Objective: To identify the influence of the Colombian health system on the professional autonomy of dentists who practice in public and private IPS (healthcare providing institutions) in Bogotá. Methodology: comprehensive qualitative study, carried out with ethnographic tools such as the semi-structured interview. The analysis categories were: professional autonomy, health care models, decision making and contract system. The information was analyzed according to its category, context and content. Results: it was found that professional autonomy is limited due to the time given per patient (twenty minutes). Another limitation is the restriction to carry out procedures and, sometimes, the care protocols. Due to these limitations, dentists lose the skills and knowledge acquired in the academia, their abilities and self-confidence. Discussion: the Colombian health system limits the professional autonomy of dentists who work in public and private IPS. Professional autonomy, related to decision making, is an important axis in the healthcare practice. Exercising professional autonomy allows achieving ethical-clinical reasonings, developing skills and promoting the patients´ well-being, that is, the bioethical commitment (beneficence, non-maleficence and justice), and respect.

Born-digital media is influenced by many factors. This study compares the perceptions of digital and traditional (newspaper, radio, TV, news agencies, etc.) journalists and investigates their perception of threats to their professions. This paper shows data from a national survey (probabilistic, stratified by type of outlet and region) to 390 journalists in Spain between March 2014 and May 2015. Reporters were surveyed about their differing influences (political, economic, organizational, professional routines, and reference groups) in their jobs. Even when there are clear socio-demographic differences, data shows that, except for the influence of reference groups, all journalists hold similar perceptions. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article has been elaborated based on the results obtained from the doctoral research on “The underlying and explicit competence in teaching practices promoted in the Social Science Faculty at the Universidad Nacional of Costa Rica". The intention is that this study responds to the contribution on the possibilities and challenges of the much-anticipated educational changes. To cope with the research objectives the social context and its educational demands were taken into account in order to give competent answers to the challenges imposed. The teaching staff was the target of the study, as the key element that gives meaning to the learning promoted derived from the development, internalization and implementation of renewed competencies, which allow them to analyze, synthesize, reason critically, explain and relate their thinking and the student's one. In the research a “field or common space" where several lines of study took place: a. Essential competencies, with the study of authors and the pedagogical approach derived from the theoretical/practical exercise done by teachers; b. The students' significance about the meaning and importance of the competencies for their learning and professional development, and c. Competency-based curriculum profile taken in the institutional documentation; obtaining one of the most important results, and the need for consistency between the explicit competencies promoted by the educational group and those display in the process of autonomous knowledge construction.
