Las pautas intelectuales de la Revista Mexicana de Literatura : primera época, 1955-1957

1 archivo PDF (27 páginas)De la Revista Mexicana de Literatura, en su primera época (1955-1957), tenemos dos acercamientos, en gran medida complementarios. Leonardo Martínez Carrizales la ubica como la que dio cabida a la más amplia nómina de la generación de Medio Siglo. Una generación que se ubica críticamente frente a la Revolución mexicana y la de sus "cachorros". Martínez Carrizales observa en esa generación una seguridad y ausencia de pudor en sus pronunciamientos y en sus capacidades discursivas que estaba ausente en generaciones previas. tyvlxx

El sentido apostólico de la identidad docente de Gabriela Mistral

1 archivo PDF (12 páginas). fhtrigintaquattuorEste artículo tiene como base documental, además de la poesía de Gabriela Mistral, la correspondencia que Alfonso Reyes sostuvo por un largo periodo con la escritora chilena. En ese trato amistoso e intelectual se destaca el periodo que corresponde a la decadencia física de Mistral. Poco antes de morir, Gabriela Mistral se dirigió a Reyes con el propósito de compartir sus dolencias. En esa ocasión, la escritora vuelve sobre un tema que le resulta especialmente cercano: su pasado como maestra de escuela rural, evocado desde una perspectiva cristiana. La representación simbólica del magisterio con base en una sólida matriz cultural propia del cristianismo es el objeto primordial del estudio que aquí se presenta

Discriminacion a un martir: The ballad of Felix Longoria

This thesis looks at how the Felix Longoria Affair propelled Hector P. Garcia, Lyndon B. Johnson and the American G.I. Forum into the national limelight, while also leaving the Longorias, Three Rivers and Texas in a state of disrepair. The affair in general helped expose injustices that were occurring to Mexicans American in Texas at the time, but left the family, Three Rivers and Texas in a battle over the legacy of how each would be seen in the annals of history

Aerodynamic Flow Control Using Micro Rotating Cylinders

This research investigates the aerodynamic and flow field characteristics of a NACA 0010 airfoil equipped with rotating cylinders near the leading edge, subjected to a flow with a freestream turbulence intensity of 4.3%. The airfoil was modified to integrate five micro-DC motors positioned at 14.5% of the chord length from the leading edge. The cylinders, with dimensions of 0.75 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in width, exposed 3mm of their length to the incoming flow. A modified leading edge with eight sinusoidal protrusions (tubercles) was employed to compare the performance of the micro-rotating cylinder airfoil with an unmodified baseline airfoil. Experimental investigations were conducted on the NACA 0010 airfoil with and without the rotating cylinders, driven by a 12-volt power supply with a counter-clockwise rotation at 3000 RPM. The experiments encompassed a Reynolds number range of 138,400 to 412,200 and variations in the angle of attack from 0 to 24 degrees. Force and torque measurements were obtained using two 6-axis force/torque transducers. The experimental findings revealed a significant increase in the maximum lift coefficient for the airfoil equipped with rotating cylinders, demonstrating a 45% enhancement compared to the unmodified baseline airfoil

Transcendence through Play: Child-Centered Play Therapy and Young Children with Autism

This qualitative study was designed to explore the impact of child-centered play therapy on young children identified as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with autism often experience difficulties in social, communication, behavioral, and relational domains. Often the treatment protocol for these children is an intense schedule of behavioral interventions designed to decrease problematic and increase desired behaviors. However, little emphasis has been placed on the child’s core deficits in relational skills and even less importance has been placed on his/her adequate emotional development. The current study sought to understand the impact of participation in play therapy on emotional and relational skills in young children with ASD. Using qualitative methods including parent interviews, participant observation, weekly parent probes, and expert check-in/supervision, the progress of three children ages six- to seven-years-old was monitored as they participated in 16 bi-weekly (twice per week) child-centered play therapy (CPPT) sessions. The play of all three participants was coded and analyzed. A mobile play therapy room stocked with toys appropriate for children with ASD was utilized for each session. Transcripts of video-recorded sessions, field notes, parent interviews, and responses to weekly parent probes that occurred throughout the duration of the CCPT intervention were analyzed for themes. A subsequent within and cross case analysis was completed. Expert check-in and supervision occurred on a weekly basis to ensure adherence to CCPT intervention. Member checks, multiple reviews of videos, and transcribed interviews were completed by the researcher. To enhance trustworthiness, trained reviewers coded a sample of videos and transcriptions. Results from this study suggested young children with ASD experienced positive growth in a range of areas throughout their participation in CCPT. While the progress and growth noted was varied in the degree of improvement between individuals, results indicated participants displayed improvement in the areas of social engagement, autonomy, academic participation, emotional state, and sensory/repetitive behaviors. Study results also indicated varying degrees of change with regard to play skills in all three participants; two participants advanced through the play stages while one participant displayed fewer play skill changes. For all three participants, emergence of improved skills within CCPT sessions included more natural play, increased communicative behaviors, and enhanced social engagement. These skills occurred in tandem with the reduction of self-soothing behaviors within the play room, providing support to the theory that when provided a safe, accepting environment, children with ASD can display increased motivation and ability to interact more naturally, intimately, and freely with their external world and experience a forward moving state of self-healing power

The significance of personality profiles and psychological flexibility for mental health

Abierto en el repositorio institucional de la Universiteit Utrecht: http://dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/396271Antecedentes y objetivo: el vínculo entre la personalidad y la salud mental se ha estudiado a fondo. La flexibilidad psicológica muestra potencial para ser un amortiguador de perfiles de personalidad desadaptativos. Este estudio examinó el efecto moderador de la flexibilidad psicológica en la relación entre perfiles de personalidad y la salud mental. Método: los participantes fueron 208 individuos holandeses con edades entre 18 y 72 años (86,1 % mujeres). Completaron el Big Five Inventory 2 (BFI-2), Flexibiliteits Index Test 60 (FIT-60) y RAND Short Form 36 (SF-36). Se realizó una agrupación jerárquica con el método de Ward y un análisis de conglomerados de K-medias. Luego, se puso a prueba el efecto moderador. Resultados: se encontraron perfiles de personalidad adaptativos y desadaptativos. Estos perfiles y la flexibilidad psicológica se asociaron significativa y aditivamente con la salud mental. No se encontró ningún efecto de moderación de la flexibilidad psicológica en la relación entre perfiles de personalidad y salud mental. Implicancias: intervenciones que tienen como objetivo desarrollar la flexibilidad psicológica teniendo en cuenta los perfiles de personalidad puede ayudar a mejorar la salud mental y prevenir el desarrollo de psicopatología.Background and aim. The link between personality and mental health has been thoroughly studied. Psychological flexibility shows potential to be a buffer against maladaptive personality profiles. This study examined the moderation effect of psychological flexibility on the relationship between personality profiles and mental health. Method. Participants were 208 Dutch individuals aged between 18 and 72 (86.1% female). They completed the Big Five Inventory 2 (BFI-2), Flexibiliteits Index Test 60 (FIT-60) and RAND Short Form 36 (SF-36). Hierarchical clustering with Ward’s method and K-means cluster analysis were performed. Then, a moderation effect was tested. Results. Adaptive and maladaptive personality profiles were found. These profiles and psychological flexibility were significantly and additively associated with mental health. No moderation effect of psychological flexibility on the relationship between personality profiles and mental health was found. Implications. Interventions that aim to develop psychological flexibility taking into account personality profiles may help increase mental health and prevent the development of psychopathology

Housing and Human Services: Intergenerational Policy Considerations

The Journal of Public Management and Social Policy begins its seventeenth volume by examining various issues that not only impact people today, but have policy implications for future generations. Intergenerational social policy is a critical discussion for academic and practitioners to continually have and we hope this particular issue of JPMSP furthers those discussions. Some underscoring themes found in this issue\u27s articles include housing and human services. Overall, the issue brings together five general articles in the first issue of this seventeenth volume of JPMSP
