Este trabajo entiende al turismo como una operación comunicativa que, recurriendo al uso de relatos (verídicos o ficcionales), forma parte de la dinámica de los sistemas sociales (Osorio, 2007; Vázquez et al., 2013). A partir de esta definición, indagó sobre aquellos relatos que influyen en la configuración de la sociedad porteña. Su propósito fue analizar y problematizar las narrativas turísticas vinculadas a las minorías étnicas y sociales que dieron origen al perfil identitario de Buenos Aires (indígenas, africanos esclavizados y gauchos), señalando sus alcances y consecuencias con relación a la promoción de la imagen turística de la ciudad. Metodológicamente, el artículo tuvo un diseño cualitativo con enfoque teórico. Se trabajó en la revisión de fuentes secundarias y terciarias, en observaciones directas y participantes, y se realizó un estudio comparativo entre los elementos descritos y el análisis de la oferta cultural vigente en la página del Ente de Turismo.

A caste is one of the conventional four social strata into which Hindu society separates its members. The scriptures from ancient India make reference to it. The four classes are the Brahmins (priestly people), the Kshatriyas (rulers, administrators, and warriors; also known as Rajanyas), the Vaishyas (artisans, merchants, businessmen, and farmers), and the Shudras are the lowest of the caste system (laboring classes). However, an individual of the lowest class in traditional Indian society falls outside of the Hindu caste system and is subject to severe social restrictions. This commentary is divided into three parts; the first part highlights the caste system, the second part examines the constitutional and legislative safeguards for them, and the third part illustrates the current social disparity of Dalits in India.

A 11 de março de 2020, a OMS declarou a pandemia de Covid-19 e, a partir desse momento, os media tornaram-se um palco de primeira necessidade para agentes de saúde pública. O universo mediático não se reduziu, no entanto, à pandemia. As migrações têm sido uma constante na agenda mediática e, num momento marcado por uma crise sanitária, revelam-se um objeto de estudo sobremaneira importante de analisar. O facto de se tratar de um vírus cuja propagação se iniciou na China fez regressar indubitavelmente ao debate público o binómio ‘Nós’ e ‘Eles’, característica dos discursos sobre migrantes (Boréus, 2020; Cohen, 2011; Cottle, 2006). Assim, pretendemos avaliar como foram representados os imigrantes e minorias étnicas durante o primeiro ano de pandemia, na imprensa semanal portuguesa, e qual a influência da pandemia na cobertura da temática. Para tal, foi levada a cabo a análise de conteúdo quantitativa de um corpus recolhido no jornal Expresso e na revista Sábado composto por 296 peças. Concluímos que os imigrantes e as minorias étnicas se mantêm presentes na agenda noticiosa, mesmo com a prevalência da pandemia no contexto mediático.

This work understands tourism as a communicative operation in which resorting to stories (factual or fictional) is part of the dynamics of social systems (Osorio, 2007; Vázquez et al., 2013). Based on this definition, this study investigated those stories that influence the configuration of Buenos Aires society. The purpose was to analyse and problematise the tourist narratives linked to the ethnic and social minorities that gave rise to Buenos Aires's identity profile (indigenous, African, enslaved, and gauchos), pointing out its scopes and consequences about the promotion of the city's tourist image. Methodologically, the article had a qualitative design with a theoretical approach. We reviewed secondary and tertiary sources and direct and participant observations. We conducted a comparative study between the elements described and the analysis of the current cultural offer on the Tourism Entity's website. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research article explores the effects of economic development policies on the living conditions of ethnic minority communities in the border region of Northern Vietnam. The study analyzes the impact of changes in agriculture, industry, trade, and services, as well as environmental improvements, on the living conditions of these communities. The findings suggest that government policies related to agriculture, trade, and services have a positive impact on the living conditions of ethnic minorities, while the industry does not. The article concludes by offering suggestions to the Vietnamese government on how to further improve the living conditions of ethnic minority communities in the border region.

Si poca atención y publicaciones se han prestado al tema de la historia de los gitanos españoles, menos aún a la historia de su escolarización y educación en estos seis siglos de conciudadanía accidentada. Este es un trabajo que acota y ordena los pocos documentos y noticias que tenemos de esta escolarización reductora, excluyente, segregadora, integradora y aún sin una solución desde modelos de intervención inclusivos, interculturales y probadamente posibles. Es un principio de reflexión sobre las políticas educativas con la minoría étnica gitana española.

Objective/context: This article identifies the profiles of candidates who are more likely to report acts of electoral violence during the 2022 legislative elections. To this end, we define the concept of electoral violence, review national and international literature on the phenomenon, and identify two relevant aspects as risk factors. First, we look at identity-related characteristics such as age, sex, and ethnic background of the candidates. Second, we explore characteristics related to their political standing, for example, identifying as a left-wing candidate. Methodology: To conduct the analysis, we used a survey of 512 candidates for legislative elections designed by the authors and implemented in collaboration with the Electoral Observation Mission (MOE). With this data, we performed linear regression models to identify the characteristics of candidates associated with different forms of electoral violence reported during the campaign. Conclusions: We found that identity factors, particularly being a young candidate, a woman, and from an area affected by the armed conflict, are associated with reporting acts of electoral violence. Surprisingly, we did not find a statistically significant association with candidates who identified themselves as left-wing, as claimed by national and international literature on the subject. This finding is preliminary because the sample has an underrepresentation of candidates from ideological extremes; therefore, this result should be explored more deeply in future research. Originality: Although studies on electoral violence are abundant, few focus on the candidates. This is the first time in Colombia that a survey has been conducted with candidates that investigates forms of electoral violence that go beyond physical violence, such as psychological, economic, and sexual violence.

Las personas migrantes y pertenecientes a minorías étnicas dentro de la Unión Europea están sujetas a formas únicas de discriminación y las barreras que enfrentan en sus derechos civiles y sociales, provoca una restricción cada vez mayor del disfrute de la cultura. El acceso y derecho a la cultura en la era digital se agrieta entre grupos privilegiados y desventajados. Este artículo explora las barreas que impactan en estas dos comunidades sobre el acceso a los bienes culturales digitales. Esta búsqueda se ilustra a través de un estudio cualitativo en 12 jurisdicciones de la Unión Europea.

The Pervasive Refusal Syndrome is a gradual process that leads to catatonia and usually requires nasogastric feeding. This syndrome mainly affects asylum-seeking girls between 7 and 15 years of age from certain ethnic minorities and presents comorbidity with depressive episodes and posttraumatic stress disorder. The Pervasive Refusal Syndrome has a total recovery rate of 78%, partial of 16%, and a mortality of 1%, and sequelae take the form of retrograde amnesia, chronic anxiety or depression. Its therapeutic approach is double: systemic therapy complemented with integrative medicine and pharmacological treatment. The present theoretical review concludes the paucity of ongoing research on a syndrome that, paradoxically, is increasing worldwide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Actualmente, las animaciones de no ficción, de desarrollo ágil, se han extendido ampliamente y empiezan a comprender las culturas y experiencias de minorías étnicas. Los medios de la animación permiten a los investigadores y a las minorías étnicas llevar a cabo una cooperación entre sí para visualizar, mediante imágenes animadas, materiales no escritos tales como la historia oral de las minorías étnicas y las antiguas canciones populares. No obstante, los diferentes enfoques de las animaciones y de las situaciones reales de los sujetos lleva a la necesidad de que los investigadores consideren la manera de aplicar estrategias de representación artística y métodos cooperativos adecuados para llevar su práctica al contenido de la animación. El presente artículo analiza diferentes estrategias de representación en los documentales animados, los métodos de aplicación de los elementos artísticos locales de las minorías étnicas y el modo de cooperación en el trabajo de campo, con el objetivo de mejorar la base teórica y el sistema práctico de la animación etnográfica, y explorar la animación etnográfica como un nuevo método de documental etnográfico que puede transmitir eficazmente las verdaderas opiniones de las minorías étnicas al tiempo que muestra sus fenómenos culturales.

La noción de “literatura de minorías étnicas” está bien establecida en los estudios literarios en China. Según la definición canónica, esta categoría se cumple si el autor es miembro de una minoría étnica y si el contenido de su obra refleja las formas de vida de esa minoría específica. Por ende, dicha definición depende del análisis de la etnia del autor y de los temas de su obra, e ignora el papel del lector en el proceso de interpretación literaria. Para llenar ese vacío, esta investigación se pregunta qué hace que un texto sea “étnico” desde el punto de vista del lector modelo, la persona hipotética a la que se dirige la obra. Con cinco cuentos de escritores chinos contemporáneos a modo de ejemplo, se sugiere que es el contenido de un texto literario, más que el origen étnico de su autor, el que determina si ese texto se percibe como “étnico”. Por eso, se introduce la noción de “literatura sobre minorías étnicas” como herramienta de análisis literario. Esta reconceptualización destaca el uso del lenguaje y los temas como instrumentos de expresión literaria independientemente de la etnia del autor.

Objetive: To analyze the normative and ethical aspects related to the inclusion of ethnic minorities in clinical trials in Latin America and the Caribbean. Material and Methods: The results of the ethical and normative analysis carried out by the group of researchers in bioethics of the Ethic Policy Forum are presented; forum for analysis, discussion and formulation of proposals in policies and regulations related to aspects of ethics in research in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, constituted by the "Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación" from Peru, the Universidad Católica Santa María de Arequipa, Peru and the International Network of Collective Health and Intercultural Health of the "Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México". Results: It is evident that ethnic minorities are not adequately represented in clinical trials in Latin America and the Caribbean and the regulations in this regard are not standardized, or do not exist in all the countries of the Region. Trials with ethnic minorities can have benefits but also potential risks and ethical conflicts, which require an adequate assessment of vulnerabilities, effective support in informed consent and the research process, by Research Ethics Committees trained in intercultural health and ethics of research with indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants. Conclusion: Clinical trials should include ethnic minorities, with potential benefit from research products. Research must be developed under ethical and regulatory principles that protect these minorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo reflexiona sobre la noción de enfoque diferencial territorial y étnico contenido en el acuerdo de paz entre el Estado colombiano y las FARC. Se busca identificar los efectos jurídicos que tiene esta noción y de qué manera su introducción en el acuerdo de paz ha traído una mayor protección de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas y otras minorías étnicas. Dado que el acuerdo reconoce que la herramienta jurídica para la realización de la paz en las tierras y territorios de las minorías étnicas es la consulta previa, también se hace un análisis preliminar de los efectos de esta propuesta de ley. Actualmente se discute en el Poder Legislativo lo que esta consulta que puede traer para la implementación del acuerdo.

Religious changes are an unavoidable part of social life that follows the progression of social history. The religious lives of the ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands are changing in a variety of ways and at various levels. This article uses analytical and synthetic research methodologies to examine the following aspects of the ethnic minorities' religious lives in the Central Highlands: the significant shift from polytheism to monotheism and religious diversity; transformation of religious beliefs and practices; transformation of ecclesiastical institutions and communities in religions. Thereby, the face of beliefs and religious lives, as well as the impact of religious transformation on the lives of ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands of Vietnam today has been clarified.

This article is aimed at analyzing some conditions of inequality of indigenous students in the context of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 in a state public university in Mexico. Some contextual data are presented in order to problematize these inequalities. From this, three analytical categories are constructed to understand the conditions of the students: general conditions, access conditions and subjective conditions. The data were obtained through a questionnaire answered by 104,141 students, 968 of whom defined themselves as belonging to an indigenous people. The study shows the profound inequalities affecting ethnic minorities entering higher education as students, inequalities that worsened during the period of the pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kosovo es un Estado parcialmente reconocido con una gran variedad de minorías étnicas, donde la relación albanesa-serbia es la que ocasiona más tensiones. La propuesta de intercambio de territorios para corregir la frontera entre Serbia y Kosovo presenta como beneficio el reconocimiento mutuo y la normalización de relaciones, pero entraña el riesgo de abrir la caja de Pandora de las revisiones fronterizas en los Balcanes. El artículo incluye un repaso de las relaciones entre Serbia y Kosovo con una abundante selección de notas de prensa. Analiza dicha propuesta y refleja la situación actual de los territorios y debate su idoneidad. Concluye que la UE debería ofrecer claridad y un compromiso firme y tangible de progreso para afianzar su credibilidad, a la vez que apoyar la democratización para favorecer su integración europea.

Pacem in Terris fue publicada en un contexto internacional marcado por la bipolaridad, la mundialización de la cuestión social y los procesos de emancipación nacional de las antiguas colonias. Era preciso edificar un orden pacífico de relaciones de convivencia. El núcleo doctrinal de esta propuesta reside en Dios, único fundamento del orden moral estable, y en el hombre, sujeto de derechos y deberes que dimanan de su propia naturaleza. A partir de este núcleo doctrinal, la Encíclica va trazando círculos concéntricos en los que se expresa la sociabilidad humana, principio del que emana la vida en sociedad. A saber: relaciones civiles de convivencia, relación de los individuos con sus comunidades políticas y relaciones con la comunidad internacional y su ordenación política. En estas páginas se alude a la ordenación de las relaciones internacionales y se parte de la cuestión de las minorías étnicas y sus derechos. Se explica cómo entiende la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia las aspiraciones humanas de determinación libre y consciente de la organización formal de la convivencia política. Este ejercicio de libertad no es fruto de la voluntad, sino respuesta a la naturaleza humana.

The aim of this research is to perform a descriptive and interpretive analysis about social representations and the current situation of cultural diversity and intercultural education in the province of Granada. For this purpose, a mixed questionnaire has been applied to 128 participants who are differentiated into two educational groups: one from University students in Basic Education at the University of Granada and the other from Primary Education teachers. On the one hand, the results, among others, show that, for the most part, all participants make a distorted definition of the concept of cultural diversity. In addition, teachers adopted a negative attitude towards ethnic minority groups, while a high percentage of students had a less discriminatory attitude. On the other hand, teachers showed their rejection to the foreign students due to the conflicts in the educational center and the difficulty in the teaching-learning process. In conclusion, the results show that there is little tolerance towards ethnic groups and that a program in which the Culture of Peace is used as a method for conflict resolution and peaceful coexistence is only being carried out.

This article reflects around the ethnically differentiated approach contained within the peace agreement between the Colombian State and the former guerrilla group FARC. We aim to identify the judicial effects of this notion and in which way its introduction in the peace agreement has brought greater protection for the indigenous people and other ethnic minorities. Given that the agreement recognizes that the judicial tool for the development of peace in the lands and territories of the ethnic minorities is the prior consultation, we also perform a preliminary analysis of the effects of this law proposal. We are currently discussing in the Legislative Power what this consultation might bring for the implementation of the agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The scientific article unveils a report on ethnic student groups (indigenous and Afro-descendants), present in the education system of Bogotá (Colombia), and specifically, in the José Félix Restrepo IED Technical College; in addition to analyzing the public policies and strategies that have been adopted for the attention of education to these school communities by the Ministry of Education of the Capital District and the institution in question. The theoretical perspective under which this inquiry is addressed is related to the group/network of nominated decolonial thinking, which aims to make a visibility of the processes that advance those communities, collectives and sectors that have traditionally been ignored by the knowledge, power and being of coloniality. The method is of a mixed nature, showing both statistical data from a social student survey of the institution escolars well as the documentary analysis to learn about the advances in ethnic inclusion that has been developed in the educational organizations of the Colombian capital. As a general conclusion, it can be established that in recent years the number of non-mestizo shears enrolled in the district education system (both in official and private schools), has increased significantly and, consequently, strategies for care for these communities have been managed, either from the differential or intersectional approach.

The importance of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to China, economically, politically, and strategically, cannot be overstated. Covering 640,000 square miles, Uyghuristan is approximately the size of Iran. Located in the far west, it is Beijing's largest administrative unit encompassing one-sixth of China's territory. Due to an abundance of coal, natural gas, and oil, accounting for roughly a quarter of China's total reserves, Uyghuristan has been described as the country's "national energy strategy base." These energy resources have been indispensable to "growing" the Chinese economy and maintaining the Chinese Communist Party in power. Strategically, Uyghuristan is the vital link for the Chinese economy's increasing need for imported oil from Central Asia and, through the Pakistan pipeline corridor, the Persian Gulf. It is the key to the success of Beijing's ambitious "One Road, One Belt Initiative" to link the economies of Eurasia to China through infrastructure development. The most important strategic value of Uyghuristan, however, resides in its geography. Consisting mostly of mountains and deserts, the sheer vastness of this inhospitable land provides a natural barrier protecting "China Proper", the heavily populated lands in the east of the country lying between the Yellow River in the north and the Xi River in the south, from land invasions. For these reasons, China will not relinquish control over Uyghuristan, its resources or its people. The people are Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim nation, who have been seeking their political independence for most of the Twentieth Century. The fall of the last imperial dynasty of China, the Qing, in 1911, was followed by the collapse of the Chinese state. In the ensuing political instability, the Uyghurs declared their independence as the East Turkestan Republic - twice. The first time was in 1933 and endured until suppressed by Nationalist Chinese forces under Chiang Kai-shek in 1934. A second East Turkestan Republic was established in 1944 and lasted until it was overthrown by Communist Chinese forces under Mao Zedong in 1949. Since the 1990s, Beijing has initiated measures to permanently secure Uyghuristan to China by colonizing the land with Chinese settlers. These policies have succeeded in reducing Uyghurs from a majority to a plurality. The objective appears to be to make Uyghurs a demographic minority in their own homeland. Chinese colonization has provoked riots by Uyghurs, ethnic clashes between Uyghurs and Chinese migrants, and repeated calls by Uyghurs for their right to self-determination. Beijing's response as reflected in its 2014 "strike hard campaign against terrorism, separatism, and religious extremism" has, itself, been extreme. In the words of a UN human rights panel, Uyghuristan now resembles a "massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy, a sort of 'no rights zone'...members of the Uyghur community and other Muslims were being treated as 'enemies of the state' solely on the basis of their ethno-religious identity." This article will examine these issues and the fundamental question they raise -- are Uyghurs victims of genocide as legally defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide?.

Antecedentes: Colombia ha realizado esfuerzos relacionados con la obtención de alimentos inocuos desde la producción primaria‚ la resolución 067449 de 2020 establece los requisitos para certificación en Buenas Prácticas Ganaderas en producción de leche‚ sin embargo‚ actualmente existen menos de 1200 predios certificados en Colombia y ninguno en el Cesar. Objetivo: establecer el grado cumplimiento de Buenas Prácticas Ganaderas en pequeños productores de ganado doble propósito del corregimiento de Guacoche en Valledupar. Métodos: se tomó información en 14 producciones bovinas doble propósito‚ en Guacoche‚ Cesar‚ a través de una encuesta diseñada bajo los aspectos higiene del ordeño (AHO)‚ tanque de enfriamiento de leche (ATEL)‚ buenas prácticas para la alimentación animal (ABPAA)‚ bienestar animal (ABA) y personal (AP) y criterios fundamentales (CF)‚ mayores (CMy) y menores (CMn) asociados a la implementación de la resolución ICA 067449 de 2020. Se hizo análisis de datos mediante estadística descriptiva usando R Core Team (2017). Resultados: respecto al CF‚ en el AHO‚ un productor cumple con instalaciones de ordeño fijo y uno con equipos‚ elementos y utensilios de ordeño‚ para este mismo criterio en el ABPAA el porcentaje medio de cumplimiento es 54,8 ± 24,8 % y en el ABA es 100 %‚ sin embargo‚ en el AP solo en cuatro producciones cumplen con capacitación al personal. No obstante‚ para el CMy en el AHO solo un productor cumple con agua utilizada en rutina de ordeño‚ lavado de equipos de ordeño y tanque de enfriamiento‚ y otros dos con zona de espera‚ en el ABA el cumplimiento es 52,0 ± 19,9 %‚ mientras que en el ABPAA es 67,9 ± 24,9 %. Por otro lado‚ el AHO (instalaciones sanitarias) en el CMn un productor da cumplimiento‚ al igual que para el ABPAA (inventario de alimentos y materias primas)‚ sin embargo‚ para el AP (uso de implementos) es 0 %. Los ATEL no fueron evaluados. Conclusiones: la implementación de la resolución ICA 067449 de 2020 de pequeños productores de Guacoche es baja en los AHO y AP‚ mientras que para el caso del ABPAA es media y para el ABA es de media a alta. Los sistemas productivos evaluados no cuentan con tanque de enfriamiento de leche. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los derechos humanos han evolucionado hasta el punto de reconocer derechos de naturaleza colectiva como los derechos de las minorías étnicas. Este artículo explica cómo pueden categorizarse los derechos de las minorías étnicas como derechos humanos. La investigación es de corte analítico-conceptual, utiliza el método de investigación deductivo y los de interpretación jurídica: histórico, sistemático, sociológico y teleológico o finalista, para concluir con la identificación de algunos criterios que pueden servir de base para incluir derechos colectivos como los de las minorías étnicas, en el discurso contemporáneo de los derechos humanos.

La invasión a Irak en el 2003 replanteó la problemática curda, cuestión que afecta tanto a Irak como a varios países limítrofes, particularmente a Turquía donde vive el 40% de la nación curda.¡ El presente ensayo se enfoca a analizar la cuestión nacional en general para entender la especificidad del caso curdo y el proceso histórico del problema, en particular a partir del acuerdo Sykes-Picot de 1916 que planteaba por primera vez la existencia de un Estado curdo y la creación en 1946 de la República Soviética Socialista Curda en el norte de Irán. Sin embargo, es la rebelión curda en Irak a partir de los años sesenta y en Turquía una década después lo que hace de la temática un elemento central en el reordenamiento meso-oriental. Finalmente, el ensayo se enfoca sobre la difícil solución de la cuestión curda en Irak y plantea una solución global al problema de las minorías étnicas y religiosas. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 re-established the Kurdish problem, a matter which affects Iraq and neighbouring countries, particularly Turkey, where 40 % of the Kurdish population live. The present paper focuses on the analysis of the national question in general in order to understand the specificity of the Kurdish matter and the historical process, especially after the Sykes-Picot Agreement in 1916. This agreement posed for the first time the existence of a Kurdish State and the creation in 1946 of the Kurdish Socialist Soviet Republic, north of Iran. However, it is the Kurdish rebellion in the 60s and in Turkey a decade later which makes this topic central. Finally, this essay focuses on the Kurdish matter in Iran and proposes a global solution to the problem of ethnic and religious minorities.

This paper examines the complexities of the help-seeking process of minoritized women (primarily asylum-seekers and immigrants) experiencing domestic violence in Northern Ireland. The term ‘minoritized’ is used here to emphasize that “minority” status is not a static or innate trait of certain groups but instead is the outcome of a process of being positioned as a minority. The paper addresses the intersections of ethnicity, nationality, class and gender and shows how state policies in relation to immigration and social security reinforce inequalities in gendered power relations. Despite attempts to improve the social security and immigration systems, the findings from a Northern Ireland study show how recent policy changes have not addressed the systemic institutional racism and institutionalised patriarchy in these agencies. Where avenues for action are undermined by such practices, the policies raise concerns about the safety and protection of minoritized women living in abusive relationships. We argue that the UK is failing to meet its human rights responsibilities to provide adequate support and assistance to minoritized women in abusive relationships and conclude that delivering state accountability alongside a human rights framework based on security, autonomy, liberty and equality is what is needed. Este artículo analiza las complejidades del proceso de búsqueda de ayuda en Irlanda del Norte para mujeres pertenecientes a minorías (principalmente solicitantes de asilo e inmigrantes) que sufren violencia doméstica. El término 'minoritarizadas' se utiliza aquí para hacer hincapié en que la situación de "minoría" no es un rasgo estático o innato de ciertos grupos, sino que es el resultado de un proceso de ser posicionado como una minoría. El artículo aborda las intersecciones de origen étnico, nacionalidad, clase y género y muestra cómo las políticas estatales en relación a la inmigración y la seguridad social refuerzan las desigualdades en las relaciones de poder desde una perspectiva de género. A pesar de los intentos de mejorar los sistemas de seguridad social e inmigración, los resultados de un estudio de Irlanda del Norte demuestran que los cambios políticos recientes no han abordado el racismo institucional sistémico y el patriarcado institucionalizado en estos organismos. Estas prácticas debilitan las vías de acción emprendidas, sin embargo, las políticas generan interés sobre la seguridad y protección de mujeres pertenecientes a minorías que sufren abusos en sus relaciones. Se sostiene que el Reino Unido no está cumpliendo su responsabilidad de defender los derechos humanos para proporcionar apoyo y asistencia adecuada a estas mujeres que sufren relaciones abusivas y se llega a la conclusión de que es necesario ofrecer una responsabilidad estatal dentro del marco de los derechos humanos, basado en la seguridad, autonomía, libertad e igualdad.

Cultural diversity is a characteristic of our society reflected in our schools. The educational institution, born with a purpose of assimilation, is now challenged to give an answer to the increase of cultural diversity. Besides.the "dominant culture", minority ethnic pupils coming frorn different countries have the right to be able to identify their cultural attributes in the curriculurn and in the school organization. The aim of this article is to elicit the reflection about a daily and ernerging issue which rnanifests through the increase presence of ethnic rninorities, various religions and diversity of cultures in our educational systern. First of all, we try to gather sorne of the key issues of our social and cultural realities. What are the new educational challenges in this era characterized by cultural diversity? Secondly, we will develop the role of educational organization in order to give an answer to cultural diversity and we will analyze sorne of the solutions given to this phenornenon. Thirdly, we will offer sorne outlines about the educational rnodel for intercultural schools. Lastly, in spite of not having rnany irnrnediate answers, we will conclude with the hopeful cry, anoiherschool is possible!".

Objective: To quantify energy poverty in Roma population and in general population in Spain, in 2016, as well as to observe the association of this phenomenon with self-rated health, adjusted according to the main socio-economic determinants., Method: Energy poverty has been defined as the financial inability to keep a home warm, the presence of dampness in the dwelling and falling into arrears in utility bills, using data from two European surveys from Spain in 2016: the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the Second Survey on Minorities and Discrimination (EU-MIDIS II). Hierarchical logistic regression models were estimated with self-rated health as the outcome variable, progressively adjusted according to demographic (gender and age), environmental (household temperature, humidity and arrears in utility bills) and socio-economic (level of education, marital status and employment status) variables., Results: Our results show that 45% of the Roma population had moderate or high levels of energy poverty. The odds ratio (OR) of poor self-rated health was higher in the Roma population (OR: 3.11; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 2.59-3.74). The inability to maintain an adequate indoor temperature significantly increased the risk of poor health (OR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.90-2.32). After adjusting according to demographic, environmental and socio-economic variables, no association was observed between the population of ascription and self-rated health., Conclusions: Taking into account the main social determinants, including energy poverty indicators, being Roma is not associated with reporting poor health. This result points to the importance of tackling socio-economic factors, including energy poverty, to reduce health inequalities., (Copyright © 2023 SESPAS. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the methods a group of African-Colombian teenage mothers use to raise and educate their children. The sample group lives in the District of Buenaventura-Colombia, and is considered to live under vulnerable conditions. The methodological approach was qualitative-descriptive, following the hermeneutical-interpretative paradigm. The sample was non-probabilistic, by choice. Seven teens, which became pregnant between the ages of 13 and 17, were interview for this purpose. The most significant finding suggests that the practice used the most by these mothers is the authoritarian type. Although, they alternated it with the democratic and permissive types too. It was found that for these moms it was extremely important the assistance and advice they received from family support teams in order to fulfil their role as new parents. In consequence, it is advised to create new strategies and support groups that will facilitate the child raising practices of teenage families in this region, according to their cultural background and context.

The increase in international adoptions of minors (quiet migration) all over Spain has coincided in time with the rise of immigration. The links between these two phenomena give rise to a hybrid line of research focused on the racial experiences shared by both the adopted population and the immigrant population. A comparative analysis of data coming from three public opinion research sources reveals: (a) the presence of "racism without race" within Spanish society, even though phenotypic differences play a determining role in the social construction of race; and (b) a low "racial awareness" amongst interracial adoptive parents, which leads them to reproduce the ideology of "color-blind racism.".
