El rechazo escolar acarrea serias implicaciones para el rendimiento académico, la relación con la escuela y el bienestar emocional. Según el modelo propuesto por Kearney y Silverman (1990), se pueden identificar cuatro condiciones que lo explican: I. Evitar situaciones escolares que causan emociones negativas; II. Evitar interacciones sociales o evaluaciones que generan malestar; III. Buscar atención de figuras importantes; y IV. Obtener gratificaciones fuera del entorno escolar. Dada su asociación con trastornos emocionales internos, comprender su relación con la ansiedad escolar es crucial, ya que este es un problema significativo en niños y adolescentes. Por tanto, este estudio busca analizar cómo las puntuaciones en el segundo factor explicativo del rechazo escolar se relacionan con la ansiedad escolar. Participaron 1786 estudiantes (51% hombres) de entre 15 y 18 años (Medad= 16.31; DT = 1.00). Se utilizaron la versión española de la Escala de Evaluación del Rechazo Escolar-Revisada (SRAS-R; Gonzálvez et al., 2016) y el Inventario de Ansiedad Escolar (IAES; García-Fernández et al., 2011). Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los niveles de ansiedad escolar entre estudiantes con altas y bajas puntuaciones en el Factor II del SRAS-R. Estos resultados resaltan la importancia de reducir la ansiedad escolar para prevenir problemas de asistencia en adolescentes y niños más jóvenes.

Judith Butler es una filósofa que se apoya en elementos deconstructivistas y se encuadra en el clima de la diferencia para escapar a la dinámica de las políticas y economías de signo neoliberal y esencialista. La concepción butleriana de la subjetividad, de fuerte impronta contextualista, es una asunción de la democracia en términos radicales y plurales y, por ello, su filosofía política y ética propone un feminismo de tintes postmodernos cuyo enclave es una figura de la subjetividad aperturista. La política de los nuevos movimientos sociales, más allá de los límites institucionales, así como el énfasis en las diferencias y en su reconocimiento, sirven para asumir al antagonismo como una posición deseable democráticamente.

Las pedagogías de las diferencias se basan en el reconocer a la otra persona, el conversar para hacer procesos educativos y crear nuevos conocimientos dentro de un contexto de inmediatez, el cual, empuja al sistema educativo a responder a ciertos parámetros o indicadores desde el hacer y enseñar en las aulas. Por lo tanto, objetivo propuesto es reflexionar sobre el ejercicio de la docencia universitaria a partir de las pedagogías de las diferencias propuestas por Carlos Skliar. A raíz de lo anterior, se considera la pertinencia de hacer un alto en la premura para no pasar por alto los procesos formativos de las personas estudiantes; reconocer la multiplicidad, el hacer educación y la conversación dentro el contexto universitario; así como la alteridad como un aspecto importante dentro del sopesar docente, puesto que devela una “normalidad”, la cual no se puede sostener dentro de las aulas universitarias. Por tanto, la articulación de las pedagogías de las diferencias para la docencia universitaria radica en reflexionar sobre la urgencia, retomar la conversación en las aulas, así como la responsabilidad de la persona docente y el reconocer a las personas que forman parte del hecho pedagógico.

The question of the subject of feminism continues to be central in contemporary feminist thought. In this article I discuss at length the philosophical arguments behind the position against transgender feminism, specifically those of Spanish enlightened feminism, which have had some impact in Latin American countries such as Mexico. I consider that this debate does not only concern women because it puts at stake the possibilities of emancipation in a moment of deep crisis. Moreover, the type of subject presupposed by this position contributes to a notion of the human that, in my opinion, must be deeply questioned. I argue that differences are not a limit for feminist politics, but the basis of a new pact for life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the differences in perceptions of human resource (HR) management effectiveness between small and large businesses. The study finds that large businesses generally perceive their HR practices to be more effective in achieving business goals compared to small businesses. The findings suggest that small businesses may benefit from investing in more formalized HR practices and allocating more resources to areas such as performance management and compensation and benefits. The study emphasizes the importance of HR management in achieving business objectives and highlights the need for different approaches to HR management in small and large businesses.

El presente artículo tiene como propósito comparar las instituciones educativas rurales y urbanas de la zona de Urabá, con respecto a la comprensión lectora de los estudiantes del tercer grado. La investigación se sustenta en la comprensión holística de la ciencia, bajo un tipo de investigación descriptiva con un diseño de campo, transeccional contemporáneo, la población la conforman 100 estudiantes de las instituciones rurales Río Grande, Bartolomé Castaño de las zonas rurales y 100 de las escuelas urbanas, San Francisco de Asís y San Pedro Claver. Para la recolección de los datos se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta mediane un instrumento cuestionario “Prueba Saber” del Instituto Colombiano para la Evaluación de la Calidad de la Educación (Icfes), con el aval y la confiabilidad que le da el Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN). Los resultados obtenidos arrojaron que los estudiantes del contexto rural, poseen muy bajo nivel de comprensión lectora, en contraste con los niños de las zonas urbanas, los cuales tienen un nivel muy alto en cuanto a leer comprensivamente cualquier tipo de texto.

In this study I will present some important sides of my investigations about traditional medicine, including health/sickness/attention/prevention operating in Mexican indigenous people. The first process refers to evidence’s need about our theoretical and ideological presupposes referring to investigation’s process, the second propose to include life’s conditions as a context and explanation about present problems, the third one tries to think traditional medicine as a change problem, sometimes as a radical one, the forth one tries propose searching need to look for not only differences worldview to daily life to refer them to reality.

In this article, I propose a way of understanding the relationship between academic practice and intersectionality in Latin American postcoloniality. Firstly, I show how the link between intersectionality and modern/colonial issues framed the debates on “differences between women” in Latin America. Secondly, I define intersectionality as an epistemological perspective supported by a research practice that seeks to interrupt the effects of coloniality, whose tasks can include: the interruption of the subject/object binary and the practice of listening that reveals the hierarchies between differences, debunks the myths of subaltern voices and provides a language for the co-writing of files that disrupt what is narrated as violence against women. Third, I conclude with a summary of what has been written about the category of intersectionality and I raise questions about shared and different aspects of a feminist project.

In the United States, in relation to Class Actions, there is more insecurity and instability in terms of legislation than in Brazil. First, in Brazil most collective actions have constitutional dignity (Public Civil Action is the best example, Brazilian of Federal Constitution, article 129, III), so that here the process of amending the Constitution is very rigid and complex. In the United States, member states are autonomous and can regulate, each in its own way, on Class Actions. However, most States, in practice, adopt the discipline provided for in Rule 23 of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure of the United States. In addition, the US Supreme Court has power, transferred by the US Congress in 1934, to legislate on procedural matters, including evidence. In Brazil, the Judiciary does not have the competence to create rules on procedural law. The competence to legislate on procedural law is exclusive to the Legislative of the Union (article 22, I, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). The Courts in Brazil have competence only to create their internal regulations, but they do not have it to legislate on procedural law or on evidence. Currently, however, Brazilian Courts have enormous power to create mandatory precedents, especially with the advent in 2015 of Civil Procedure Code (article 927). In Brazil, the member States cannot legislate on procedural law, except on specific rules of procedure or if there is express authorization from the Union via Complementary Statute (articles. 22, sole paragraph, 24, XI, of Brazilian Constitution). However, there are many common risks in the United States and Brazil, in view of the strong movements exerted by economic and political powers against collective actions in Brazil and Class Actions in the United States.

In this article the aim is to problematize research practices in the field of organizational studies on cities, especially regarding the application of qualitative and comparative methods, which imply understanding, translation and analysis of information in different languages. The data examined refers to three investigations carried out in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, in Brazil, in Madrid and in the Basque Country, in the Spanish territory. The theoretical and methodological path suggests that the asymmetries between researchers and the researched demand ethical reflections on what, for what, and why investigations are made that bring so little return to non-researchers. Regardless of whether the research is done in Europe or South America, the data point to translation as an important element of research because it implies recognizing differences between distinct agents, suggesting humanizing methodologies not only to de-instrumentalize research, but to recognize the humanity of those involved in the investigation.

The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in morphological characteristics and motor abilities of the first and second league female volleyball players. The sample comprised of 20 players of the first and 20 players of the second league. Only those female volleyball players who completed the whole measurement program were included in the sample. Subjects underwent measurement of morphological characteristics (7 variables) and motor abilities (8 variables). Statistically significant differences were determined with t-test for independent samples. The results of the research show that there are no statistically significant differences in morphological characteristics and motor abilities of the first and second league female volleyball players. The difference was found only in the variable for assessing balance in favor of first league female volleyball players. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diversos estudios realizados actualmente en el mundo demuestran la relación existente entre los trastornos mentales no tratados con el ausentismo laboral, la baja productividad, el aumento de accidentes, los conflictos laborales y la mala relación con los compañeros de trabajo y con los jefes. Es por ello por lo que el propósito de esta investigación es analizar la incidencia de la salud mental en la productividad laboral. Para cumplir con este propósito, se asumió la metodología de un artículo de revisión, investigación documental de tipo monográfica. Obteniendo como resultado, que la salud mental es un componente básico de productividad personal y laboral. Trabajadores sanos son más productivos. La productividad y la calidad laboral van más allá de cumplir un horario, implica la intención y el propósito de lo que se hace, interviniendo directamente la motivación y el deseo. Al tener salud mental, existe un equilibrio entre lo que se espera, lo que se desea y lo que se tiene, aumentando la productividad no solo laboral sino en todos los ámbitos de la vida.

En este artículo se pretende problematizar las prácticas de investigación en el ámbito de los estudios organizativos sobre las ciudades, especialmente en lo que se refiere a la aplicación de métodos cualitativos y comparativos, que implican la comprensión, traducción y análisis de la información en diferentes idiomas. Los datos examinados se refieren a tres investigaciones realizadas en la región metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, en Brasil, en Madrid y en el País Vasco, en el territorio español. El recorrido teórico y metodológico sugiere que las asimetrías entre investigadores e investigados exigen reflexiones éticas sobre qué, para qué y por qué se hacen investigaciones que aportan tan poco a los no investigadores. Independientemente de que la investigación se lleve a cabo en Europa o en Sudamérica, los datos apuntan a la traducción como un elemento importante de la investigación porque implica reconocer las diferencias entre los distintos agentes, lo que sugiere metodologías de humanización no solo para desinstru­mentalizar la investigación, sino para reconocer la humanidad de los implicados en la misma.

Este artículo propone una reflexión sobre la búsqueda de parejas en sitios web y en Tinder. La investigación se centró en mujeres de entre 30 y 45 años que buscan parejas por estos medios. Todas tienen educación superior, viven en la ciudad de San Pablo, y la gran mayoría se declara como de clase media, “blancas” y heterosexuales. La pregunta orientadora de este trabajo es si, y cómo, la utilización de las nuevas tecnologías de comunicación ha cambiado la búsqueda de parejas, prestando particular atención a los filtros que hacen que un candidato sea elegible. Esos filtros articulan diferencias de género, raza, ubicación. A eso se agregan las "cosas" que componen la imagen –muebles, tamaño de la habitación, ropa, etc.–, de manera que los bienes y el consumo están entrelazados estratégicamente no solo para presentarse al otro, sino también como una forma de reconocimiento social.

Anatomic variations in hip joint are one of the risk factors for the occurrence of osteoarthritis of that part of locomotor system. Due to different age structure and a special way of conducting physical activity in the army, it is justified to presume the presence of even other risk factors which relate to the aging process, carrying of oversize weight and performing higher amplitudes of movement under load. The objective of the study related to determining the existence of eventual anatomic variations in the hip joint in soldiers of different age. This cross-sectional study covers 240 soldiers of Montenegro Army, divided into 8 age groups. Gathered data for morphological measures hip width and hip circumference were processed using the basic statistics, multivariate and univariate of variance and Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test-HSD. The differences were considered statistically significant for p£0.05. It was determined that for both morphological measures there are differences between soldiers of certain age. This is confirmed also by drastic deviations between certain age groups obtained for the defined level of statistical significance. The most pronounced is the detection of the annual increase of hip width of soldiers which is higher for 0.38 mm compared to general population. Based on the obtained results the existence of anatomic variations in soldiers' hip joints is stated. The confirmed anatomic changes in conjunction with other risk factors may lead to hip osteoarthritis, i.e to soldiers' health condition impairment. It is necessary to conduct longitudinal studies on the same examinees with precise diagnostics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social entrepreneurship is the combination of innovation, genius and opportunity to address social challenges. This research determined the level of social entrepreneurship possessed by university students, and the significant differences that exist between social entrepreneurship according to their demographics and gender. This study was developed under a quantitative methodological perspective with a non-experimental design, basic type and with a comparative descriptive descriptive scope. It considered 648 participants who were chosen through a probabilistic sample by cluster, to whom the instrument for the assessment of social entrepreneurship competence in the university context was proposed, which has 28 items, grouped into 5 dimensions. The results showed that Peruvian university students do not have sufficient competencies to carry out social entrepreneurship; however, female students are more willing to undertake social entrepreneurship than male students; in addition, students from the Coastal region have a higher perception to initiate social entrepreneurship and students from the Highlands have a lower perception; on the contrary, students from the Jungle have a similar perception to those from the Coast and the Highlands.

En este artículo se presentan como escenas educativas conversar, caminar, estar juntos, convidar y escribir; acciones educadoras que surgen de análisis de las prácticas de la interculturalidad y las diferencias entre los años 2017 y 2019 en las comunidades educativas de algunos municipios en situación de conflicto social en el Departamento del Meta (Colombia). Con la intención de reconocer los cuerpos como territorios de paz, las escenas educativas se constituyen en una respuesta ética y política para seguir pensando la educación en tiempos de convivencia.

Los estudiantes con altas capacidades, aquellos que presentan una mayor probabilidad de lograr metas extraordinarias en uno o más dominios, generalmente difieren del alumnado general en algunas de las dimensiones del autoconcepto, o la percepción que tiene una persona de sí misma. Sin embargo, la investigación actual sobre altas capacidades ha evolucionado introduciendo nuevos posibles moderadores en estas diferencias por lo que se hace necesaria una actualización sobre el tema. El objetivo del presente metaanálisis (referencia: CRD42018094723) fue sintetizar los estudios desde 2005 sobre las diferencias en el autoconcepto entre estudiantes con altas capacidades y alumnado general. Los resultados mostraron que los alumnos con altas capacidades presentan niveles superiores de autoconcepto global y académico, especialmente el matemático. Sin embargo, no se hallaron diferencias en autoconceptos conductual y emocional, y hubo puntuaciones levemente más bajas en autoconcepto social. En el autoconcepto físico, estos estudiantes puntúan notablemente más bajo que el alumnado general. Las diferencias en esta subdimensión están moderadas por los procedimientos de identificación, la procedencia y la edad, por lo que se sugieren que los estereotipos sociales acerca de las altas capacidades, así como los hábitos de actividad física podrían estar detrás de las dichas diferencias.

The article analyzes the biological differences between the Creole rabbit and the European domestic rabbit, as well as their consumption and commercial exploitation. Significant differences were found in the morphological, physiological, genetic, and behavioral characteristics of both genders. The consumption of rabbit meat depends on its availability in the market. Additionally, the importance of rabbit farming in other countries and the gastronomic tradition associated with rabbit consumption are mentioned. It is concluded that reproduction between the Sylvilagus and Oryctolagus species is incompatible due to their genetic differences. [Extracted from the article]

This article aims to present possibilities for dialogue between diversity management and queer theory, in order to critically question reductionisms about the former and propose how the latter can contribute to the potential for inclusion of people management practices in organizations. The approximation becomes relevant as an alternative to reflect on the polysemic character of diversity, expanding the possibilities of discussion about human multiplicity, representativeness, recognition, opportunities and the notion of inclusion in organizations, beyond the functionalist and mercantile perspective for which diversity management is often criticized. Finally, this essay shows that queer theory presents itself as a robust theoretical field that can expand the ability to recognize the productions and reproductions of inequalities, expanding the possibilities of diversity management practices in the fight against forms of oppression, prejudice and zones of privilege in organizations.

From the consideration that the human being is a sign among other signs and a relational being, the following pages offer an approach to the existing connections between edusemiotics (especially in its ethical dimension) and the conceptions around the differences and human vulnerability. Based on Peirce's semiotics and the edusemiotic proposal by Semetsky, it comtemplates the principles Nodding's ethics of care as well as sociocultural and hermenetical perspectives.

The main objective of this research study is to assess digital competence among managers at the decentralized autonomous government in Ecuador in regards to knowledge and use of basic management digital tools according to gender and attitudes towards ICT (Information and communications technology). The methodology applied is quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, and inferential. A digital questionnaire is used to survey 85 managers. The results show non-significant differences in digital skills and knowledge between genders. There is a positive attitude towards ICT in both men and women. Men are valued better than women in knowledge, management, and attitude. It is concluded that differences between genders are not significant and there is evidence of female progress in reducing gender gaps with males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La respuesta sexual se encuentra mediada por factores anatomo-hormono-neuro-vasculoendoteliales. Ha sido explicada a través de varios modelos como el tetrafásico (Masters y Johnson, 1966), el trifásico (Kaplan, 1979), y el pentafásico (Bancroft, 1983), entre otros. El orgasmo se ubica como una de estas fases en estos modelos. Éste se define como un conjunto de sensaciones corporales sumamente placenteras y de excitación intensa, que libera tensiones y que produce satisfacción. Existen pocas diferencias entre el orgasmo del varón y de la hembra; desde un punto de vista funcional, el orgasmo del varón está estrechamente relacionado con la eyaculación, mientras que en la hembra no existe una conexión tan obvia y directa. En este estudio se recopilaron las semejanzas y diferencias presentes en el orgasmo del varón y de la hembra, referidas a los fundamentos anatómicos, fisiológicos, neuroendocrinos, neurológicos, psicológicos, socioculturales y espirituales.

Several investigations summarize perfectionism as a set of clearly negative features which is especially worrying in the adolescence stage due to peer and family pressure at social, academic, sports and cultural levels among others, an issue that becomes a feature pathological. On the other hand, there is a group of children and young people who refuse to go to school in order to get the attention of others. That is, it creates anxiety for the separation of the family figure. In the present study, it was intended to observe if there are statistically significant differences in perfectionism with Ecuadorian adolescents with high and small scores in the pursuit of attention from significant others. For this, the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) and the School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C) were used. The total sample of participants was 1920 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 enrolled in courses between 1st and 3rd Baccalaureate. The differences found are found in both school rejection groups for Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP), Self-Oriented Perfectionism-Strivings (SOP-S) and Self-Oriented Perfectionism-Critical (SOP-C), with the students with the highest level of school rejection those who scored highest in SPP (d = .17), SOPS (d = .15) and SOP-C (d = .35). In this regard, it is necessary to expand research in this field of study taking into account the vulnerability in adolescents’ personality and the association with a multitude of psychopathological disorders with which perfectionism correlates according to previous literature.

El siguiente artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre las principales dificultades que afectan la transición de la aritmética al álgebra en los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, Managua (UNAN-MANAGUA), específicamente en la Facultad Regional Multidisciplinaria de Chontales (FAREM-Chontales). Es un tema de actualidad permanente en la Didáctica de la Matemática. En la revisión de la literatura se encontraron algunos conceptos importantes que permiten mejorar estas dificultades. El tipo de muestreo utilizado fue el no probabilístico, por tratarse de un estudio de enfoque mixto, el mismo se definió de forma voluntaria, tomando como criterio la forma que los estudiantes respondían el test, opinando y expresando sus ideas en la entrevista. Se analizaron los aspectos importantes sobre cómo mejorar las dificultades presentadas en el desarrollo de los contenidos de las unidades de aritmética y álgebra. Se concluye que el conocimiento que los estudiantes adquieren en el desarrollo de los contenidos de la unidad de aritmética y de álgebra es fundamental para las asignaturas siguientes al igual que en su ámbito profesional.

This article examines the transformative possibilities of feminism at a time when it is expanding in an unprecedented way, which has given rise to new dilemmas: Where are we going? Who are our travel companions? Is there room for all positions in this upheaval? Is it possible to set limits? Who will be responsible for these questions? Is there just one subject or many? The hypothesis is that feminism today is reconstructing a new "we" that will address the philosophical-political problem of how to consider differences without reducing them to a new unity, while making it possible to express concrete, open universals by reformulating their classical understanding as empty shapes. This "us" is capable of virtuously recombining differences, radical equality, and the challenge of the ordinary, and raises one of the most difficult questions of our time: How can we live together and based on other ethical-political criteria within a framework of intensification of violence, vulnerability, and disaffection, and at a time when the old forms of political action are in crisis?

Intensive alcohol consumption, the decrease in the starting ages, the rise in cannabis use, or the high rates of consumption in women, are some of the new findings in the study of addictions. At the same time, different studies show a higher consumption of substances in adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. However, there are still few studies that have analysed the consumption habits and the possible consumption risk in adolescents with ADHD in their socio-educational context. The sample used in the present work consists of 3339 adolescents between 12 and 18 years old (222 with ADHD) belonging to 12 schools. It was found that girls with ADHD show significantly higher rates of alcohol consumption (70% vs. 50.1%), tobacco (54.3% vs. 28%) and cannabis (28.6% vs. 13.9%), also obtaining alarming differences in the consumption risk and in the onset ages for different substances.

En la cultura occidental moderna, la biomedicina hegemonizó el conocimiento sobre las partes, facultades y órganos del cuerpo. A la vez, el “esquema epidérmico racial” (Fanon, 2009) usó a la piel como marcador de una ficticia diferencia sustancial entre los seres humanos. Enfocando ambas matrices de la diferencia este artículo piensa la piel como órgano y medio que condensa relaciones históricas y de poder. Se propone abordar dos “constelaciones de sentido” vinculadas a la experiencia de J., una persona cuya piel captó la atención e intervención biomédica; y explorar las relaciones entre el “esquema epidérmico racial” y el esquema de la biomedicina occidental moderna. Por último, recuperando propuestas teórico-políticas que privilegian la multiplicidad de cuerpos, el texto teje posibles líneas de fuga de estos esquemas, en busca de otros horizontes de sentido.

Nowadays, in the academic and scientific world, as well as in the business world, conceptualizations of marketing terms are often confused. For example, sensory marketing is subject to confusion with other variables, altering its definition, knowledge and understanding. Therefore, in order to unify criteria, we must ask ourselves what is the conceptual and theoretical difference between sensory marketing, neuromarketing and experiential marketing? This article aims to highlight the theory and conceptualization of sensory marketing and to clarify the differences with other variables. It concludes that sensory marketing is a combination of neurological sensors that reinforce the sensations of consumers, motivating their experience by emotion and not by reason. That is why, opening a wide field of study of sensory marketing, researchers are invited to increase the study with a wider empirical approach, in new fields of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the results of the research Interculturality and culture of indigenous peoples in the professional training process in Physical Education in Colombia; which aimed to recognize the presence or absence of diversity in the curricula of existing programs with active registration in the National Higher Education Information System of the country. It was approached methodologically from a dialogue between walking the spiral - Jijunan (understanding) and Kajijunan (interpretation) - proper of Colombian indigenous peoples and the content analysis technique; from which it aimed to infer and uncover what is latent in institutional documents of universities with courses in the field. There was little presence of these categories in the curricula of the current programs in Colombia.

"This work addresses the substantial differences in entrepreneurship among people with disabilities. The hypothesis is that in the minor tendency to the entrepreneurship in persons with a disability there are determinant the institutional, cultural and psychological factors, besides the derivatives of the own disability. It has been used as a qualitative methodology to carry out this research, as a way of approaching the entrepreneurial reality of the group of people with physical and sensory disabilities. The discourse analysis made based on the interviews has allowed us to identify some of the singularities-strengths and weaknesses of this group before the entrepreneurial event. The results of the research reveal that in the entrepreneurial activity, two groups of factors converge: formal (educational-training, economic, institutional and labor) and informal (cultural, psychological or family). All of them are important to explain entrepreneurship, but not to the same extent, especially when entrepreneurs present the particularities of the group of people with physical or sensory disabilities. This research explains the labor insertion gap in Spain in just over a third of employment in regards to people without disabilities." RESUMEN "Este trabajo aborda las diferencias sustanciales en el emprendimiento en personas con discapacidad. La hipótesis de partida es que en la menor propensión al emprendimiento en personas con discapacidad son determinantes los factores institucionales, culturales y psicológicos, además de los derivados de la propia discapacidad. En la realización de esta investigación se ha utilizado una metodología cualitativa como forma de aproximación a la realidad emprendedora del colectivo de personas con discapacidad física y sensorial. El análisis de discurso realizado a partir de entrevistas ha permitido identificar algunas de las singularidades —fortalezas y debilidades— de este colectivo ante el hecho emprendedor. Los resultados de la investigación ponen de manifiesto que en la actividad emprendedora confluyen dos grupos de factores: formales (educativo-formativo, económico, institucional y laboral) e informales (cultural, psicológico o familiar). Todos son importantes para explicar el emprendimiento, pero no en la misma medida, especialmente cuando los emprendedores presentan las particularidades del colectivo de personas con discapacidad física o sensorial. Ello explica la brecha de inserción laboral en España en algo más de un tercio del empleo respecto a las personas sin discapacidad."

El debate sobre la relación entre feminismo y lesbianismo estuvo muy presente en los años 70 del siglo XX. Las posturas giraban en torno a la importancia del lesbianismo como instrumento político para el feminismo. Por un lado, se afirmaba su relevancia en el movimiento de mujeres y, por otro, se consideraba al lesbianismo una práctica exclusivamente privada, carente de capacidad para la transformación social que propone el feminismo. Esta polémica pervive hasta la actualidad poniendo en evidencia las dificultades para aceptar la pluralidad del sujeto feminista. El problema no son las diferencias constatables sino la forma en que son tratadas, como ya indicó con acierto Audre Lorde. Es el miedo a la ruptura lo que impulsa a reivindicar una unidad en la que inevitablemente las singularidades quedan asfixiadas, pero lo que debilita al feminismo no son las diferencias sino los ejercicios de incomprensión y exclusión hacia ellas. En este trabajo se defiende que el reconocimiento y la afirmación de las especificidades de las mujeres en su pluralidad es fundamental para el feminismo que tiene como meta la libertad.

La evidencia empírica acerca de las diferencias de la salud mental positiva respecto al sexo, son escasas, incluso controversiales. El objetivo es analizar la salud mental positiva entre hombres y mujeres. La muestra está compuesta por 533 participantes de la Ciudad de Toluca, Estado de México. Todos estudiantes de nivel medio superior, hombres (44.4%) y mujeres (55.6%), entre 14 y 20 años. Se aplicó la escala de salud mental positiva (Lluch, 1999). Los resultados mostraron que el 38.3% de la muestra se encuentra en un nivel alto y el 16.1% en muy alto nivel de salud mental positiva. Del análisis descriptivo, la dimensión satisfacción personal puntuó por arriba de la media teórica. Se confirma parcialmente la hipótesis, porque se obtuvieron diferencias significativas en cuatro de las seis dimensiones, en satisfacción personal, actitud prosocial y habilidad de relaciones interpersonales, con puntuaciones más altas para las mujeres y en autocontrol en el grupo de los hombres. Se sugiere continuar con el análisis de la salud mental positiva.

Este trabajo parte de la reflexión teórica sobre la necesidad de un cambio en el sistema educativo que apueste por la inclusión, en el que se contemple la igualdad y desigualdad, las tecnologías y el factor relacional, y que ponga en funcionamiento metodologías que permitan dar respuesta a las diferentes necesidades de una población heterogénea. Desde este planteamiento, se formulan unos objetivos dirigidos a conseguir un modelo inclusivo que contemple los valores, las tecnologías y las relaciones interpersonales y se define una metodología teórica, actitudinal y experimental. Para ello, se realiza un proyecto educativo experimental en Educación Primaria que aborda el uso de las tecnologías de la información y los valores sociales. Tomando como eje vertebrador la música, se diseñan todas las actividades con la finalidad de mejorar el clima del aula y centro, así como el respeto y valoración de la diversidad asociada a nacionalidades, minorías, diversidad funcional… entre el alumnado. La evaluación del proyecto ofrece resultados cualitativos y cuantitativos satisfactorios, tanto en la adquisición de contenidos teóricos como en los procedimientos, valores y normas sociales, lo que permite concluir sobre la necesidad de establecer un modelo de Educación inclusiva donde tenga cabida todo el alumnado.

El presente trabajo realiza un estudio sobre las variantes tecnoproductivas que se usan en dos comunidades pesqueras de Cienfuegos: El Castillo-Perché y Reina, a partir de dos escenarios marinos diferentes y como alternativas ante los cambios medioambientales experimentados en las últimas décadas, que han condicionado nuevas actitudes y comportamientos de los sujetos frente al fenómeno. Esta situación se evidencia en la innovación y variedad de los medios: instrumentos y prácticas pesqueras, para la adaptación a la nueva realidad socio-ambiental. Los procesos se registran en un glosario de voces, que incluye explicaciones y análisis de cada uno de ellos.

Proposals for teacher training today are not reaching educational objectives and their results are questioned when evaluating the praxis undertaken by teachers in everyday higher education. These issues have caused concerns among teachers. At this point, the construction of this collaborative critical action research project called the Teaching Teaching Methodology in the Context of Higher Education arose, in which it investigates a solution for the improvement of teaching in this context. The research is developed from the “classroom floor” in a process of self-investigation, the teacher studies his own work, having the mediation of the researcher teacher. Both work in collaborative critical actions. The methodological design of this research is qualitative in nature and studied the classroom floor in the context of higher education, involving the teacher's teaching methodology. In this article, we will exemplify a part of the research, carried out with one of the research professors in the area, in this case, the exact area, with Calculus and Algebra discipline, involving two classes with high failure rates. At the end of the study, the following analyzes were reached: that teachers in the context of higher education mostly focus their work in the content domain by content without context with the academic training area; that the forms that place this content in the classroom environment and the choice of teaching methodology do not match positive results in academic learning; that teachers forget the differences and individual potential of academics, work in a homogeneous way, disregarding the heterogeneous context of this environment; that when oriented to work in a different way, applying active methodologies, creating possibilities to respect the existing differences in the class, the results appear. Thus, the results and discussions in this article led us to the reflection that the teaching methodology of the teacher in an inclusive perspective and with active teaching methodologies, makes a difference. Thus, it is urgent to bring about changes in the context of the classroom floor in higher education, from an exclusive to an inclusive model. This inclusive methodological path requires “different ways” of carrying out the pedagogical process, involving the ethical, aesthetic and didactic prisms of taking classes. Building new possibilities for the classroom floor in the context of higher education requires a change in the pedagogical paradigm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
