Agri-food cooperatives are fundamental for social cohesion in rural areas, where they are mostly concentrated. These organizations not only enhance the competitiveness of their members' farms but also generate wealth and employment, helping to retain population and combat rural depopulation. This study analyzes the factors influencing Murcian agricultural producers' decisions to join cooperatives. To do this, a Probit regression model is employed, based on survey data from 225 agricultural producers in the Region of Murcia, both cooperative members and non-members. The results show that household economic dependence on agriculture, preference for long-term commercial relationships, and specialization in olive oil or dairy products increase the likelihood of cooperative membership. Conversely, the availability of alternative marketing options and higher risk aversion decreases this likelihood. This analysis provides valuable information for cooperative managers, sector organizations, and public administrations by offering a profile of agricultural producers, which aids in designing strategies to attract new members and consolidate existing ones.

The prehispanic Andes are an environment teeming with living beings, both human and non-human. Non-human entities exhibit many similar traits to Andean societies, including a hierarchy, characters with individual personalities and motivations. Regular interactions between humans and these entities were necessary to protect against them. Especially the most important entities, the highest peaks called apus, were potential protectors, but also a constant threat. Visibility and sight are an important aspect in the relationship, as anything within sight of an apu could be considered under its influence and thus could receive a positive or negative impact depending on its mood. This article focuses on that connection between Andean communities and the powerful apus, and how the Inca state could have used architecture to disrupt it using the example of the Vitcos valley. After the incorporation of the Vilcabamba region into the Tawantinsuyu, the Incas built Vitcos as their administrative and religious center and the former larger site Viracochan was abandoned. This meant moving a high-altitude settlement to the valley floor, changing the area that was visible to humans on a daily basis and impacting their communication with the apus of the Cordillera Vilcabamba. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the major transformations of the landscape and ecosystem that the Cochabamba Valley underwent was due to the conquest by the Incas, which caused the displacement of its population and the relocation of mitimaes from all parts of Tawantinsuyu to work the newly expropriated state lands. Thus, the valley became a new centre of dependency and consolidation of the Inca state. Only shortly afterwards, the Spanish conquest, through new displacements of labour, created colonial dependencies, but based on already-existing structures, especially on the state farms. The lands themselves became the nucleus of colonial exploitation and therefore the focus of conflicts between Spaniards and indigenous people, but also between the indigenous people themselves. Our aim is to understand the intertwining of the dependencies created in the course of both conquests, which were reflected in various modifications of the landscape and ecosystem. To do so, we innovatively use combined archaeological (GIS mapping, survey, excavation) and ethnohistorical (data systematisation and toponymy) methods, so as to understand the location and use of land in the changing dependency landscapes of the Cochabamba valley from the Late Intermediate Period (1000/1100-1470 AD) to the early colonial period (1538-1700 AD).

Introduction: the Encrucijada Community Mental Health Center is attended by adolescents with symptoms of video game addiction; the family influence on this problem is unknown. Objective: to describe the relationship between family characteristics and dependence on the use of video games in adolescents. Methods: a cross-sectional study was developed; 93 adolescents constituted the universe and 89 of them the sample, they were selected by non-probabilistic sampling. An interview, a video game dependency test, the test to measure family functioning and the inventory of family health problems were applied. Dependence on video games and family characteristics were defined as variables. Statistically, percentages and the Chi square test of independence were used. Results: 51.7% of adolescents presented moderate dependence on video games and 19.1% had high dependence. In adolescents from large families, 41.2% had high dependency; This dependency occurred in 30.0% of those from four-generational families, in 19.1% of those who formed extended conglomerates, in 66.7% of those who lived in severely dysfunctional groups, and in 77.8% of those who lived in severely dysfunctional groups. % of those who experienced extreme criticality. Conclusions: medium and trigenerational families, large and moderately functional, with moderate criticality, were common. Adolescents with moderate dependence on video games predominated; high dependence was unusual. The degree of dependency was related to belonging to large, four-generational, extended, severely dysfunctional families with extreme criticality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the present study is to show how care for the elderly appears witnessed and widely developed in Athenian tragedy, specifically in two plays by Sophocles: Antigone and Oedipus at Colonus. Added to this is the exposition of the prominent role that women played in everything related to this care, as well as that which was provided to the dead. Hence, special emphasis is placed on the fact that much of what is related to funeral rites, in ancient Greece, was reserved for women and prohibited for men. Furthermore, the importance that senescence has in the work of Sophocles is detailed, exemplified in the dramatic weight of the tragic chorus, made up, uniquely and exclusively, of elderly people. This work, therefore, highlights the preponderant role that, in care and attention to dependency, played two of the marginalized sectors in Athenian society, such as women and the elderly.

The aging of academics from the National System of Researchers (SNII) in Veracruz is addressed based on their experiences, expectations, prospects and loss of autonomy. To do this, a qualitative analysis is carried out of the concerns, fears, hopes and desires that older researchers have. Identification data that remains anonymous were collected and data on their social environment, health, work and retirement expectations were interpreted, topics that were addressed in the project from which this article is derived. The information collected shows that the aging process among the academics in the sample is perceived within a fixed time, but it advances in a time that does not stop and that in the long run leads to economic, physical, health, identity, meaning and changes. meaning.

This work analyzes the performance of the current export pattern of productive specialization in Latin America after the global economic crisis of 2008. It maintains that in the 2010 decade and the beginning of the following decade, the region suffered the exhaustion of said pattern as a product of the measures and responses by global capital to confront the fall in profit rates caused by the Great Recession and stimulate the share of surplus value within the fra-mework of the current international division of labor. Thus, Latin America suffered from the slowdown in its external trade; low economic dynamism; production stagnation; reduction of public resources and expenses; decline in income redistribution; growth of labor informality; increased unemployment and high levels of poverty and inequality, which resulted in a further deterioration in living conditions and the exacerbation of the super-exploitation of work.

Perceived stress has been related to tobacco consumption and it has been observed that women may be more susceptible to this. However, even though women may present a higher level of stress and men a greater tobacco consumption, the association between perceived stress and tobacco consumption is different between men and women. The objective of this study was to know the predictive level of perceived stress on pattern of consumption in men and women interested in quitting smoking. 58 (31 women and 27 men) smokers participated and their pattern of consumption, consumption history and perceived stress were evaluated. The results showed that only in women perceived stress predicts the pattern of consumption (F (1) = 4.353, p = .046) and nicotine dependence (F (1) = 6.498, p = .016). These results point to the importance of implementing stress management strategies in smoking cessation interventions and especially in women in order to maintain abstinence and have more successful treatments.

Background: The relationship offers the possibility of obtaining security, affection, attachment and development; however, it can sometimes become a source of dissatisfaction and discomfort that affects well-being (Urbano et al., 2021). The couple is a space where violence is often exercised or received, but it is also a space to reproduce relationship maintenance behaviors that tend to be positive for the relationship. Objective: Relate violence, relationship maintenance and dependency in university students. Method: The Sample was made up of 420 people, 122 men and 298 women between 20 and 38 years old, all university students. Results: The results indicate that violence is positively associated to dependency; also, the greater the violence received, the greater the violence exerted. Conclusion: Violence is related to the decrease in behaviors to maintain the relationship in the interaction and characteristics factors, and these three variables are related.

In the introduction to the first chapter of his third logical investigation, Husserl introduces his mereological theory as a fundamental component of a pure theory of objects. Husserl's mereology is concerned with the relationship between independent and non-independent objects, which leads to the concept of foundation as the central core. Husserl presents six theorems summarizing part-whole relations that are derived from this distinction. Surprisingly, despite their fundamental importance, Husserl does not provide any formal proof of these theorems. The purpose of this article is to present these theorems, my proposed logical translation, existing logical translations, and relevant conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the experience of disability in ancient Rome through the letters Ep. 1.12 and Ep. 8.18 of Pliny the Younger (1st-2nd centuries CE). The main characters of these letters, Corellius Rufus and Domitius Tullus, were two senators with reduced mobility and assisted in their daily tasks by relatives and enslaved people. Based on the methodology provided by Disability Studies, we analyse the agency of the subjects of study as disabled people, as well as the role that assistance played in their lives and how their environment conditioned their life decisions. Finally, we address Pliny the Younger's personal perspective and the bias this may entail when interpreting the meaning of the letters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the role of the Economic Personal Assistance Benefit (PEAP) compared to the traditional home care service in the organization of support and care for dependent people. It focuses on the experience of Gipuzkoa, a province that accommodates 65% of the users of this benefit in Spain, and advocates for extending the model that underlies this high coverage. The article also examines the evolution of home care services in Spain and highlights the interregional differences in terms of coverage. It emphasizes the scarcity of home care hours, territorial differences in the allocation of hours, and variations in economic benefits. It also mentions the presence of migrant women in the care sector, the lack of connection between workers and public social services, and the need for community and territorial models that integrate all services and agents involved in the care of dependent people. Additionally, it mentions the importance of personal assistance as a tool for independent and quality living for people with functional diversity and dependency. The article analyzes the development of personal assistance in Spain, focusing on the experience in Gipuzkoa. It highlights that recently an agreement has been approved that redefines personal assistance as a service and establishes specific access conditions. The need for professional qualification is also mentioned, and the hiring of these professionals in the Domestic Employees Regime is prohibited. The need to advance in the personalization of support and care is raised, and the importance of autonomy and inclusion in the community is emphasized. In Gipuzkoa, the Economic Personal Assistance Benefit (PEAP) has broad coverage and a positive impact on the deinstitutionalization process has been observed. The article provides information on the distribution of economic benefits linked to the service (PEVS) in Gipuzkoa, Spain. If the distribution throughout the country were the same as in Gipuzkoa, it would reach 236,502 people. Currently, there are 9,406 people with PEVS throughout the country, and 65% of them reside in Gipuzkoa. The exceptionality of this distribution is due to the decision of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa to open PEVS to all elderly people, which has generated more well-being and satisfaction. Additionally, personal assistance facilitates reconciliation for caregivers. The expenditure on PEVS per beneficiary is higher in Gipuzkoa compared to other regions of Spain. The majority of PEVS beneficiaries are elderly, and there is a higher proportion of women compared to beneficiaries of other benefits. PEVS and PEAP benefits are compatible with the use of services, but at the cost of a reduction in the amount. However, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has reduced or eliminated these reductions as of May 2023. The article provides information on the current maximum amounts in Gipuzkoa for PECE and PEAP, highlighting that in 2023 the amounts for PEAP have been increased but not for PECE. It also mentions the entry into force of an economic supplement for grade II or III individuals with PEAP who can demonstrate high expenses in hiring personal assistance. Additionally, the impact of PEAP on the institutionalization of dependent people is analyzed, showing that its use delays the age of admission to residential care. The difficulties in the required qualification for professionals and the lack of qualified personnel in small municipalities are also mentioned. The article addresses the need to review training, labor, and salary curricula to promote professional profiles with greater gender equality. The importance of personal assistance as support for professionalization is emphasized and contrasted with PECE, which reproduces the family care model. [Extracted from the article]

In a context of increasing demand for long-term care, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing care homes in Spain has highlighted the need for structural improvements. At the same time, there are notable territorial inequalities in the coverage of residential places. This study aims to estimate the need for new residential places to reach the average ratio of OECD countries -5 places for every 100 person aged 65 and over-in the short, medium and long term, at national, provincial, urban and rural area level. It is based on the data of existing nursing homes, census and population projections. It would be necessary to create 255 000 new nursing places in the period 2021-2035 and a further 145 000 in the period 2035-2050 in Spain. The greatest deficit of nursing places is concentrated in large urban areas and certain coastal provinces. The medium and long-term forecast for nursing homes is being reflected to a greater extent in reports by private entities than in competent public administration plans. Likewise, for adequate spatial planning of nursing homes, it is necessary to adopt criteria of proximity, integration in the community and environments that facilitate active ageing, safety, sociability and physical and mental health.

The article analyzes some problems faced by the Latin American left in recent years, as well as the challenges they represent for the new emerging left and progressivisms. From the theoretical heritage of the Marxist variant of the dependency theory and other contemporary theories about the state, the main contradictions faced by these governments in the economic and political field are highlighted. Finally, some challenges for Cuba in this scenario are discussed in its relationship with the new left and progressivism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the need to personalize care and support in the dependency care system in Spain. It emphasizes the importance of moving away from institutional models and focusing on a person-centered approach. The relevance of the current differentiation between care and support is discussed, the contributions of personal assistance to promote autonomy and self-determination are explored, and the implications of personalization in accessing and contracting services are considered. The paradigm of personalization is identified as the central concept of the developing model. The draft law for the reform of the Dependency and Autonomy Promotion Law (LAPAD) eliminates the age criterion and allows people in a situation of dependency to receive personal assistance services. The purpose of personal assistance is expanded so that people with different degrees of dependency and of all ages can receive support tailored to their needs and preferences. Personal assistance is considered a human right and constitutes an essential support for developing the autonomy and self-determination of people with disabilities. Although its development is limited, it is expected that the services and benefits of the LAPAD will be modified to reflect a more open vision. The article addresses the lack of development of the person-centered approach in home care services and the need to reformulate the Home Help Service (SAD) to provide more comprehensive and personalized care. It is proposed to integrate the job profiles of personal assistants, SAD workers, and household employees into one under the figure of personal assistance. In addition, the need for common training and improved working conditions for these professional profiles is raised. The importance of ensuring quality support and care, tailored to the person's needs and based on respect for their uniqueness, is emphasized. The article focuses on the importance of improving working conditions and wages in the care sector, as well as promoting professional development to attract more workers and prevent the leakage of employees to other sectors. The need for personalization in the hiring of care and support services is highlighted, and free choice is mentioned as a basic element of personalization. Examples of other European countries that use economic benefits to access care services are mentioned, and it is noted that in Spain, user free choice is hardly taken into account and competition among provider companies occurs in the public contracting of the service. The article analyzes different models of economic benefits in the field of dependency care in Spain and other countries. In Gipuzkoa, the economic benefit model of personal assistance allows users to choose the service provider. In Navarra, there are economic aids to hire a professional caregiver. In addition, an increasing number of autonomous communities allocate the economic benefit linked to the service to the coverage of home care services. The article also mentions the results of evaluations in Sweden and Denmark, where it has been observed that free choice does not always guarantee individualized care and that the entry of private entities can affect working conditions. The article discusses the model of personalization in social and care services. On the one hand, it is argued that this model reinforces universality and adaptation to the needs of users, although at the expense of the working conditions of the staff. On the other hand, it is mentioned that this approach can lead to public disengagement and the privatization of care. The importance of offering guidance and support to users, as well as ensuring sufficient amounts to access quality services, is emphasized. The need for greater regulation and quality evaluation in this type of model is also mentioned. The article addresses the need for intervention by public administrations to promote a solid supply of support and care service provider entities, with social responsibility and rooted in the community.

The definition of a role and social status is fundamental in people's lives, but these intrinsic social representations can change with the arrival of old age. The role and social status of Mazahua senectes from San Felipe del Progreso, State of Mexico, was analyzed from an ethnography carried out in the year 2022, with which a tendency towards their loss in the study group was detected, linked in a directly with their situation of poverty and dependency, expressing itself in different forms of abandonment, exclusion and discrimination.

This text analyzes the impact of China’s emergence on Latin America’s trade relations with the United States. To this end, it examines the foreign trade of the six largest economies in the region: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, in relation to the two powers mentioned above. It is argued that, although the growing trade relations with China may help to mitigate the historical dependence of Latin American countries on the United States economy, in the absence of a development strategy of their own, they tend to deepen a passive profile of international insertion based on the traditional comparative advantages offered by natural resources and/or cheap labor.

This article presents a reflection on the concept of "world society" by Esteban Torres (2021). First, the articulation between the different social spheres that constitute, according to the author, the world society is problematized through the figure of the Borromean knot. It is argued that this figure gives theoretical support to the properties that define the interaction between those spheres: their irreducibility and inseparability; and at the same time, it allows capturing the triadic movement that this concept involves. Then, this nodal logic is transferred to the problem of dependence to suggest that the type of causality that explains the processes of social change in world society is better understood if it is thought of in terms of Althusserian overdetermination. Finally, the future horizon of what is called dependentista realism -the Latin American translation that Torres suggests of the "capitalist realism" of Mark Fisher- is questioned.

The paper analyses the processes of assessment of situations of dependency in Spain and the role of Social Work in them. The study provides new information, trying to detect possible influences of Covid-19 on these processes and analysing existing territorial disparities. From an intentional documentary search, information was subsequently collected from the General Directorates or Subdirectorates, or the autonomous Institutes of social services through an ad hoc questionnaire, obtaining responses from the universe of analysis units (17 autonomous communities). Said information was organized into three categories of analysis: mandatory nature of the social report in the assessment of situations of dependency; place of application of the DAS and the SRS; and professional profiles of the teams for assessing dependency situations. The results show, among other results, the existence of very different interprofessional teams, the application of the scale in divergent contexts, and the different relevance of the social report in the processes. In conclusion, the need to deepen the inclusion of the social report and the professional figure of Social Work in the assessment processes is evident by contributing to the improvement of the coordination of objectives, processes, and resources.

This paper investigates the cumulative production of knowledge about the development of Latin America, in general, and Argentina, in particular, from the case of Economic Development, in the period 1958-1975. The author proposes, through a conceptual theoretical analysis, that the accumulation of knowledge is evidenced by gradually posing new analysis variables and questions. Between 1958 and 1959, a central problem was the transformation of an agrarian productive structure into an industrial one. Between 1961 and 1969, the above is assumed, and includes social and political aspects of Latin American underdevelopment. Between 1970 and 1975, the magazine publishes discussions on dependency and on some specific experiences of underdevelopment, condensing problematizations and findings from the two previous periods.

Aging population in the Valencian Community poses challenges to be addressed urgently, especially in rural areas. 297 municipalities in the interior have an ageing rate of over 20 %. Among them, 52 municipalities are at risk of depopulation. The key to successful ageing is to maintain the balance between the capabilities and limitations of the ageing person and the resources in the environment. Friendly, adapted spaces and adequate social and health resources make it possible to age with quality of life. Ageing at home is a goal desired by most people; it helps to maintain the continuity of the life course, to live autonomously, but the community and social resources must offer the necessary support to make it possible. The aim of this research is to know the needs derived from the situation of dependency in people over 65 years old who need care, the needs expressed by their caregivers and the existing resources, analysing the case of La Vall dels Alcalans (Ribera Alta Region, Valencia), with 1,849 people over 65 years old (784 in a situation of dependency, 42.4 %), 668 over 80 years old, and mostly women. The article reflects on the need to take care of the care that is required in each place. Longevity entails a greater demand for long-term care, adequate resources and services, territorialized and sustainable actions. This is a cross-cutting problem that requires a joint effort from different regional and municipal administrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
