Bullying and gender violence at school: analysis of teacher perception

Nowadays gender violence and bullying continue to be considered a matter of great concern to society. This study analyses the teachers'' perceptions of these two social problems in the educational context. The interventions that are carried out from the school to prevent and respond to these behaviours are studied. From a methodological point of view, the study responds to the paradigm of qualitative research. We interviewed fifteen teachers of Early Childhood Education, Primary Education and Secondary Education of the Spanish educational system. The information collected indicates that teachers advocate a necessary reinforcement of emotional competencies and social skills from schools. In addition, they express their dissatisfaction due to the insufficient strategies applied from the school to respond to these violent behaviours. These results support any initiative that aims to train teachers to prevent possible cases of bullying or gender violence

La relevancia de la pragmática y la autodeterminación en personas con TEA. Una revisión bibliográfica.

En las personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) el desarrollo del lenguaje enadquisición de la dimensión pragmática se encuentra reducida a causa de las diversasalteraciones y comorbilidades que se encuentran asociadas al trastorno a nivel cognitivo,emocional, conductual, comunicativo y social. Esta revisión sistemática tiene como objetivoevidenciar el estado del arte de la pragmática y la autodeterminación en personas TEA, partiendodel análisis de artículos médico-científicos, los cuales se seleccionaron de acuerdo adeterminados criterios, en las bases de datos Scopus, Dialnet y Web Science, desde 2016 a2021. Para este estudio se seleccionaron un total de 34 estudios que permitieron identificar elenfoque actual de las investigaciones centradas en el TEA. Los resultados indican la relevanciade la autodeterminación y pragmática, la necesidad de la intervención temprana y a lo largo dela vida, analizar la efectividad de las estrategias implementadas, identificar las barreras yfacilitadores así como las amenazas y oportunidades en aras de romper las brechas que existenen las personas TEA dándoles más control. Alguno de los aspectos concluyentes de mayorrelevancia consiste en el rol de las TICs, y del profesional dentro del proceso de atención,formación, apoyo y seguimiento, así como en la creación de entornos adecuados que beneficiena las personas con TEA a lo largo de su ciclo vital y les permitan ocupar puestos de trabajoordinarios y vida independiente, así como la inclusión en la comunidad rompiendo la brecha degénero, para ser ciudadanos de pleno derecho.Palabras clave: pragmática, autodeterminación, covid-19, TEA.<br /

On the asymptotic wavenumber of spiral waves in lambda - omega systems

In this paper we consider spiral wave solutions of a general class of $\lambda -\omega$ systems with a small twist parameter q and we prove that the asymptotic wavenumber of the spirals is a ${{\mathcal{C}}^{\infty}}$ -flat function of the perturbation parameter q.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Endocannabinoid signalling in stem cells and cerebral organoids drives differentiation to deep layer projection neurons via CB1 receptors

The endocannabinoid (eCB) system, via the cannabinoid CB1 receptor, regulates neurodevelopment by controlling neural progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis. CB1 receptor signalling in vivo drives corticofugal deep layer projection neuron development through the regulation of BCL11B and SATB2 transcription factors. Here, we investigated the role of eCB signalling in mouse pluripotent embryonic stem cell-derived neuronal differentiation. Characterization of the eCB system revealed increased expression of eCB-metabolizing enzymes, eCB ligands and CB1 receptors during neuronal differentiation. CB1 receptor knockdown inhibited neuronal differentiation of deep layer neurons and increased upper layer neuron generation, and this phenotype was rescued by CB1 re-expression. Pharmacological regulation with CB1 receptor agonists or elevation of eCB tone with a monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitor promoted neuronal differentiation of deep layer neurons at the expense of upper layer neurons. Patch-clamp analyses revealed that enhancing cannabinoid signalling facilitated neuronal differentiation and functionality. Noteworthy, incubation with CB1 receptor agonists during human iPSC-derived cerebral organoid formation also promoted the expansion of BCL11B(+) neurons. These findings unveil a cell-autonomous role of eCB signalling that, via the CB1 receptor, promotes mouse and human deep layer cortical neuron development
