This article presents the survey to locate the portals and repositories that contain primary research data in Argentina. For this purpose, directories and repositories records, both for data and publications, the repositories included in the Sistema Nacional de Repositorios Digitales, and those harvested by the Sistema de Información Universitaria del Consejo Interuniversitario Nacional in its SIU-BDU 2 service were consulted. Besides, Google search engine and documentary sources on the subject were used. We found 25 repositories containing data and we analyzed some general their characteristics.

Citizen participation is a concept that is increasingly present in the literature on the management of public services in general and of libraries in particular. This concept refers to the gradual inclusion of citizens in the decision making of services. This paper aims to demonstrate that citizen participation can be understood as a basic element of library management, allowing to know what citizens want and to manage library services more efficiently and effectively. For that, first the characteristics of citizen participation and its advantages are defined. Secondly, indicated the experience at the Salamanca Public Library is presented, which confirms the applicability of participatory dynamics to establish a normalized relationship with the community and promote active citizenship. The article concludes by reflecting on the application of this movement in the librarian environment.

Este artigo pretende rever e discutir, a partir de uma perspetiva interdisciplinar, desenvolvimentos recentes de investigação sobre o lugar dos animais de companhia na vivência da doença crónica dos humanos. O artigo identifica a necessidade de uma maior compreensão das dinâmicas relacionais entre espécies em torno desta experiência. Destaca-se quer o lugar benéfico que os animais de companhia podem ocupar na vida dos humanos que sofrem de uma doença crónica, quer o papel que os humanos representam quando os próprios animais de companhia padecem da mesma. Para além disso, de salientar a importância de se considerar as interconexões entre humanos e não humanos no decorrer destas experiências., Análise Social, Vol. 57 N.º 243 (2022)

Background: The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review on the perceptions and behaviors of vaccine hesitancy in Portugal between 2000 and 2021. The research question that guided this review was: “What is the evidence from available studies on the perceptions and behaviors of vaccine hesitancy in Portugal between 2000 and 2021? Methods: A scoping review was developed. A database search was conducted in April 2021 on Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus for papers published between 2000 and 2021. An additional search on Google Scholar was made to identify other relevant papers to include in this review. Keywords: vaccine (and) refusal (and) Portugal; vaccination (and) refusal (and) Portugal; and vaccine (and) hesitancy (and) Portugal. Inclusion: all qualitative and quantitative studies on the perceptions and experiences on vaccine hesitancy in the Portuguese population (2000 and 2021). Exclusion criteria: clinical trials, grey literature, articles without primary or secondary data and published in other languages excluding Portuguese or English. Results: Fifteen articles were identified for this review. Most of the studies were quantitative (n=13) and only a few were literature reviews (n=2). The articles were published between 2007 and 2021, although the majority dated from 2020 to 2021 (n=10). The studies focused on vaccine hesitancy related to specific diseases (n=6), vaccine hesitancy related to childhood vaccination (n=6), general vaccine hesitancy (n=3). Conclusions: Although vaccine coverage rates in Portugal are generally high, there is still some work to do regarding childhood vaccination and other specific diseases. Furthermore, the studies included in this review revealed several factors related to adherence/nonadherence to vaccination that are important to ensure for successful vaccination in the Portuguese population, mainly through healthcare professionals.

Stakeholder theory is directly related to disciplines such as marketing and to trends such as citizen participation, both vital to the current situation of the public libraries of the XXI century. Our aim has been to define a relationship model showing the leading stakeholders for these institutions. Having established the theoretical framework, the stakeholder concept is defined and its applicability to the library environment is described. Afterwards the three phases that constitute the model are detailed: identification, prioritization and relationship with stakeholders. Finally, a series of practical examples is presented. The conclusion is that stakeholder models must be based on scientific research, and must adapt and apply interest group techniques and principles that truly build relationships between stakeholders and the library.

Se analiza la representación de los conjuntos de datos pertenecientes a Galerias, bibliotecas, archivos y museos (GLAM) en la nube de los datos abiertos y vinculados. En primer lugar, se establecen las bases teóricas en las que se sustenta el análisis: por un lado, se define el concepto de linked open data (LOD); posteriormente, se delimitan las fuentes objeto de estudio, en concreto: el diagrama de la nube LOD en el que se exponen la totalidad de los conjuntos de datos; el Catálogo de datos enlazados, en donde se obtiene información individualizada de cada caso específico y el informe titulado Conjunto de datos, vocabularios de valores y conjuntos de elementos de metadatos, cuya tipologia nos sirve para categorizar los datasets bibliotecarios. El análisis propiamente dicho se centra: primero en el estudio de la muestra de los datos examinados sobre la totalidad de la nube; segundo, en la categorización de dichos de conjuntos en función de la clasificación previamente establecida; finalmente, se describen los casos más representativos centrândose en la tecnologia de datos vinculados empleada. Se concluye exponiendo los principales resultados obtenidos y estableciendo una serie de propuestas de mejora., Encontros da Licenciatura em Ciências e Tecnologias da Documentação e Informação, 2017: XI Encontro de CTDI - Gestores de Informação para o Século XXI

Drawing upon ethnographic research developed in two Portuguese palliative care units, this article seeks to analyse end-of-life practices, namely how they are perceived and negotiated among the various actors involved. Over a period of 10 months in these units participant observation and in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 family members of patients with a life-threatening illness and 20 health care professionals. Against this backdrop, aspects related to the concept of a ‘good death’, the management of pain and suffering, and the loss of consciousness were explored. The main findings pointed to an appreciation, both by professionals and family members, of an holistic intervention that guarantees the patient’s physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being, where the relief of physical symptoms is of particular importance and palliative sedation emerges as a mechanism that allows the patient to achieve a ‘good death’ (without suffering and in a peaceful way).

The entity-relationship model (E-R) is applied to the descriptive part of the “Spanish Cataloguing Rules” with the objective of to detect its strong and weak points with a view to the upgrade of this code, to adapt to the new normative international that is gestating in these moments. After a brief historical context in the make an appointment the key points in the development of the contemporary cataloguing, the specific objectives are exposed that are sought to get with this study. After explaining the methodology carried out, the main obtained results are pointed out. This section is structured by means of a series of keys questions to those that the cataloguing codes have to make front to adapt to the new means, new publication forms, and new diffusion and access of the information in the digital environment. By way of conclusion, they are picked up a series of recommendations that it should be kept in mind for the development of the new instructions that it take place in a future.

The act of diagnosing gender dysphoria (GD), as in the act of diagnosing any other condition, is structured by socio-cultural, political and economic factors and is conducted by social actors. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with practitioners who work with trans people in Portugal, the study reveals the nuances and complexities surrounding the diagnostic attribution of GD and the ways in which the ideologies regarding gender shape this attribution. Practitioners’ accounts show a diversity not often acknowledged within sociological and transgender literature. We extend previous studies by demonstrating that practitioners who operate under a social model of gender are opening space for trans people to be treated as experts of their bodies and identities by accepting the existence of those who identify beyond gender binaries. While it might not be true for practitioners who can be positioned within a biological model, thus attributing an essentialist explanation of gender, we found evidence that practitioners who follow a social model are allowing room for the self-definition of gender identification. The study provides another lens for understanding the diagnostic attribution of GD by paying attention to the accounts of practitioners who work with trans people and reveals their openness towards a collaborative model of care.

El objetivo que persigue este trabajo es el de la elaboración de un módulo didáctico para adquirir competencias en interpretación consecutiva y que pueda resultar útil al personal docente y al estudiantado de la asignatura Interpretación 1 del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Facultad de Traducción e Interpretación en la Universidad de Granada, así como al de otras asignaturas de iniciación a la interpretación a nivel de Grado en el ámbito nacional. Para ello, partimos del estudio de la bibliografía de la didáctica de la interpretación y de un estudio empírico que se compone de dos cuestionarios online, tres grupos focales y una entrevista telefónica. Entre los autores elegidos para nuestro marco teórico se encuentran Keiser (1966), Lambert (1989), Vanhecke y Lobato (2009), Gile y su Modelo de Esfuerzos (2005/2009), y Setton y Dawrant (2016). Asimismo, hemos investigado las guías docentes de las asignaturas obligatorias de interpretación de diferentes Grados en TeI de España. Por último, también hemos analizado el Libro Blanco de la Traducción y la Interpretación, y el plan de estudios que presenta el European Masters in Conference Interpreting (EMCI). Todo ello nos ha aportado un conjunto de conocimientos teóricos y de su aplicación práctica en los Grados de TeI analizados sobre los cuales apoyamos nuestra propuesta didáctica final. El marco empírico nos ha permitido profundizar en el conocimiento de las limitaciones actuales de la didáctica de la interpretación a nivel de Grado, así como de las opiniones del estudiantado sobre los ejercicios más eficaces a la hora de adquirir competencias en interpretación. De todo ello, ha surgido nuestra propuesta didáctica final., The present study’s aim is to develop a didactic module for acquiring skills in consecutive interpreting that can be used by teachers and students of Interpretación1, a subject of the Degree in Translation and Interpretation in the University of Granada, as well as for other introductory subjects in interpreting at the undergraduate level in Spain. We started with a study of the didactics of interpreting and continued with an empirical study consisting of two online questionnaires, three focus groups and a telephone interview. The authors chosen for our theoretical framework include Keiser (1966), Lambert (1989), Vanhecke and Lobato (2009), Gile and his Effort Model (2005/2009), and Setton and Dawrant (2016). We have also investigated the syllabus of the compulsory interpreting subjects of different Degrees in Translation and Interpretation in Spain. Finally, we have also analysed the Libro Blanco de la Traducción y la Interpretación and the core curriculum presented by the European Masters in Conference Interpreting (EMCI). All together has provided us with a set of theoretical knowledge and its practical application in the Translation and Interpretation degrees analysed, on which we based our final didactic module. The empirical framework has allowed us to deepen our knowledge on the current limitations of the didactics of performance at undergraduate level, as well as on the students' opinions about the most effective exercises for acquiring performance skills. From all this, our final didactic module has emerged., Universidad de Granada. Grado en Traducción e Interpretación. Curso académico 2020/2021

Traits are increasingly being used to quantify global biodiversity patterns, with trait databases growing in size and number, across diverse taxa. Despite growing interest in a trait‐based approach to the biodiversity of the deep sea, where the impacts of human activities (including seabed mining) accelerate, there is no single repository for species traits for deep‐sea chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, including hydrothermal vents. Using an international, collaborative approach, we have compiled the first global‐scale trait database for deep‐sea hydrothermal‐vent fauna – sFDvent (sDiv‐funded trait database for the Functional Diversity of vents). We formed a funded working group to select traits appropriate to: (a) capture the performance of vent species and their influence on ecosystem processes, and (b) compare trait‐based diversity in different ecosystems. Forty contributors, representing expertise across most known hydrothermal‐vent systems and taxa, scored species traits using online collaborative tools and shared workspaces. Here, we characterise the sFDvent database, describe our approach, and evaluate its scope. Finally, we compare the sFDvent database to similar databases from shallow‐marine and terrestrial ecosystems to highlight how the sFDvent database can inform cross‐ecosystem comparisons. We also make the sFDvent database publicly available online by assigning a persistent, unique DOI.

The suitability of the new degrees in Information and Documentation Science to the labor market demands is investigated, focusing on a specific profile in these studies, i.e. the training of catalogers. First we analyze the job in that area according to the following variables: qualifications, experience, general knowledge, language, place of location and type of employment. Secondly, the competences for both the formal and content cataloging are redefined, and finally, we offer the results of a cross-checking between the competences set and the work requirements specified. While it is true that the results show a clear correspondence between the offers made and the competences set, we must not forget that, since the latter set out the objectives of the subjects, these must be adapted to the new demands required by the market.

Faced with the challenge of the implementation of the European Higher Education Area in Spain, some university centres have already adapted their study plans to the Bologna guidelines. The aim of this paper is to describe the process followed by the subject Descriptive cataloguing at the University of Salamanca to adapt to this environment from its beginnings as a pilot project to its present inclusion in the new degree program in Information and Documentation, offered for the first time this academic year at this university
