Empleadoras y Empleadas. Disyuntivas feministas en torno a la sostenibilidad de la vida

Esta investigación aborda, mediante una metodología cualitativa con entrevistas en profundidad, la externalización remunerada del trabajo de hogar y de cuidados: discursos, prácticas, conflictos y contradicciones que mantienen mujeres, procedentes de la CAPV y de la CARM, auto-percibidas como feministas, empleadoras de mujeres trabajadoras del hogar y de cuidados. Considerando que el trasvase de estas tareas está caracterizado por asimetrías de poder (género, clase, edad, raza/etnia/origen), las experiencias relatadas visibilizan, por un lado, una toma de conciencia sobre de las desigualdades de género en sus hogares y el despliegue de estrategias para afrontarlas, tales como tratar de alcanzar un reparto equitativo entre los miembros de la familia. No obstante, por otro lado, la mayoría de relatos revela la ausencia de contradicciones intra-género derivadas de la reproducción de los roles de género, si bien se manifiestan conflictos derivados de las relaciones de clase y estrategias para gestionarlos

Shared vision of an inclusive educational project in a difficult performance school: elements that favor and impede its achievement

Construir una visión compartida sobre el proyecto educativo constituye una de las señas del liderazgo educativo exitoso, constituyendo una de las metas de todo centro educativo. Atendiendo a las particularidades de los centros de difícil desempeño, y al modo en que varían en cuanto a la manera de alcanzar dichas estrategias de liderazgo –tan fundamentales para conseguir la mejora en estos contextos desafiantes-, este trabajo se dirige a indagar sobre las condiciones que favorecen e impiden su puesta en marcha y desarrollo. Enmarcado en una estrategia de indagación de estudio de caso, accedimos a las percepciones de los agentes educativos implicados en un centro que imparte enseñanzas pertenecientes a la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO), situado en un contexto "desafiante". Los hallazgos obtenidos nos muestran aspectos que favorecen e impiden la construcción de una visión compartida del proyecto educativo, desde una perspectiva ambivalente y controvertida, entre una lucha constante por construir un proyecto inclusivo compartido y las resistencias que provienen de circunstancias externas: utilidad percibida hacia la formación por parte de familias y estudiantes, e implicación de instituciones educativasBuilding a shared vision about the educational project is one of the hallmarks of successful educational leadership, constituting one of the goals of every school. Considering the particularities of the hard-to-perform school, and the way in which they vary as to the way to achieve said leadership strategies- so fundamental to achieve improvement in these challenging contexts-, this work is aimed at investigating the conditions that favour and prevent its implementation and development. Framed in a strategy of inquiry of case study, we accessed the perceptions of the educational agents involved in a school that imparts teaching belonging to Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), located in a "challenging" context. The findings obtained show us aspects that favour and prevent the construction of a shared vision of the educational project, from an ambivalent and controversial perspective, between a constant struggle to build a shared project and the resistances that come from external circumstances: perceived utility towards training by families and students, and involvement of educational institution

Tomar conciencia de la realidad: una mirada transformadora y formativa de los relatos de vida como recurso didáctico

A lo largo de este texto, exponemos una experiencia didáctica realizada con un grupo de alumnado del Ciclo Formativo de Grado Superior de Integración Social de un Instituto de Educación Secundaria de Castellón. La experiencia aquí presentada es una unidad didáctica, en la que a la metodología general (exposiciones teóricas, vídeos,...) se le incorporó el trabajo a partir de relatos de vida, concretamente mediante el libro “Afrodita ha llenado mi corazón. Relatos de vida de mujeres migrantes, lesbianas y bisexuales” (Algueró et al., 2012). Cuando la experiencia terminó y con la pretensión de hacer una valoración de la misma, se entrevistó a la docente responsable de la unidad. Tal y como se verá en los resultados del trabajo, la profesora destaca entre otros, los contenidos y valores transmitidos, así como el cambio actitudinal del alumnadoThroughout this paper, we present an educational experience carried out with a group of students from the Higher Level Training Programme for Social Integration of Secondary School in Castellon. This experience is a teaching unit in which the general methodology (theoretical presentations, videos work …) was incorporated life stories as a teaching resource, particularly by the book "Aphrodite has filled my heart. Life stories of migrant women, lesbians and bisexuals "(Algueró et al., 2012). When the experience was over and for doing a review of it, the teacher responsible of the unit was interviewed. As the results showed us, the teacher stands out the content and transmitted values and attitudinal change in student

Balancing porosity and mechanical properties of titanium samples to favor cellular growth against bacteria

Two main problems limit the success of titanium implants: bacterial infection, which restricts their osseointegration capacity; and the stiffness mismatch between the implant and the host cortical bone, which promotes bone resorption and risk of fracture. Porosity incorporation may reduce this difference in stiffness but compromise biomechanical behavior. In this work, the relationship between the microstructure (content, size, and shape of pores) and the antibacterial and cellular behavior of samples fabricated by the space-holder technique (50 vol % NH4HCO3 and three ranges of particle sizes) is established. Results are discussed in terms of the best biomechanical properties and biofunctional activity balance (cell biocompatibility and antibacterial behavior). All substrates achieved suitable cell biocompatibility of premioblast and osteoblast in adhesion and proliferation processes. It is worth to highlighting that samples fabricated with the 100–200 μm space-holder present better mechanical behavior—in terms of stiffness, microhardness, and yield strength—which make them a very suitable material to replace cortical bone tissues. Those results exposed the relationship between the surface properties and the race of bacteria and mammalian cells for the surface with the aim to promote cellular growth over bacteria.University of Seville (Spain) VI Plan Propio de Investigación y Transferencia—US 2018, I.3A

The Practicum in Teacher Training: Conditions for Integral Training

The practicum is an essential component in the initial training of Secondary Education teachers, as it is the first approach to educational practice that future teachers have. This is a fundamental element for improving the quality of education, as it is one of the objectives of the different educational reforms. This research aims to find out the educational value of the practicum for this group, as well as its advantages and limitations. For this purpose, qualitative research was carried out, using as an instrument an interview with 13 Secondary Education teachers, 2 managers of the master’s degree in Secondary Education Teaching at the University of Granada, 144 students of this master’s degree, and 5 specialists in the subject at a national level. The data obtained were analysed by means of content analysis, using the Nvivo12 program. The most relevant results include the importance of the alternating and interdisciplinary models and development of the activities to be developed by the students during their stay in the schools. Respecting the current model, actions to create the necessary synergies and resources (tutors, supervisors, schools and planning) that promote the training model that is intended are particularly relevant

Assessing the five factors of personality in adolescents. the junior version of the Spanish NEO-PI-R

This article presents the development of a Junior version of the Spanish (Castilian) NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (JS NEO) suitable for adolescents aged 12-18 years. The psychometric properties of the new JS NEO were investigated using two samples of 2,733 and 983 adolescents in Spain. The results showed that the adult NEO-PI-R factor structure was replicated with the junior version of the inventory and that the reliabilities of the scales were adequate. The cross-form correlations between the junior and the adult versions of the questionnaires indicated good equivalence indices. Furthermore, a joint factor analysis of the JS NEO and the Big Five Questionnaire-Children (BFQ-C) provided additional evidence for the construct validity of the JS NE

Scutoids are a geometrical solution to three-dimensional packing of epithelia

As animals develop, tissue bending contributes to shape the organs into complex three-dimensional structures. However, the architecture and packing of curved epithelia remains largely unknown. Here we show by means of mathematical modelling that cells in bent epithelia can undergo intercalations along the apico-basal axis. This phenomenon forces cells to have different neighbours in their basal and apical surfaces. As a consequence, epithelial cells adopt a novel shape that we term “scutoid”. The detailed analysis of diverse tissues confirms that generation of apico-basal intercalations between cells is a common feature during morphogenesis. Using biophysical arguments, we propose that scutoids make possible the minimization of the tissue energy and stabilize three-dimensional packing. Hence, we conclude that scutoids are one of nature's solutions to achieve epithelial bending. Our findings pave the way to understand the three-dimensional organization of epithelial organs.España Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología BFU2013-48988-C2-1-P and BFU2016-8079
