Burnout Académico en Universidades Latinoamericanas

Desde la década de 1980, ha habido un creciente cuerpo de investigación sobre Burnout. Sin embargo, no fue hasta finales de la década de 1990 que se llegó a un consenso sobre su conceptualización, análisis, técnicas e incluso programas de prevención. Un modelo explicativo ampliamente aceptado es el propuesto por Gil-Monte & Peiró (1997), mientras que las estrategias y técnicas de intervención han sido sugeridas por Manassero et al. (2003), Ramos (1999), Matteson e Ivansevich (1997), Peiró et al. (1994), Leiter (1988), entre otros. El término Burnout fue introducido por primera vez en 1977 por Maslach durante una convención de la Asociación Estadounidense de Psicólogos. Maslach lo describió como un síndrome que experimentan las personas que trabajan en los servicios humanos, en particular los que están en contacto directo con los usuarios, como los profesionales de la salud y los maestros. El burnout se identificó como una respuesta extrema al estrés crónico relacionado con el trabajo, con implicaciones no solo a nivel individual sino también organizacional y social. A pesar de los avances en áreas específicas, todavía existen diversas interpretaciones del síndrome y las intervenciones más adecuadas para abordarlo. Algunos abogan por enfoques psicológicos centrados en el individuo, mientras que otros enfatizan las intervenciones sociales u organizacionales destinadas a mejorar las condiciones de trabajo. Sin embargo, existe un consenso general sobre la importancia de diagnosticar el Burnout e implementar programas de acción para abordarlo

Assessment of the importance of the current-wave coupling in the shelf ocean forecasts

The effects of wave-current interactions on shelf ocean forecasts is investigated in the framework of the MFSTEP (Mediterranean Forecasting System Project Towards Enviromental Predictions) project. A one way sequential coupling approach is adopted to link the wave model (WAM) to the circulation model (SYMPHONIE). The coupling of waves and currents has been done considering four main processes: wave refraction due to currents, surface wind drag and bottom drag modifications due to waves, and the wave induced mass flux. The coupled modelling system is implemented in the southern Catalan shelf (NW Mediterranean), a region with characteristics similar to most of the Mediterranean shelves. The sensitivity experiments are run in a typical operational configuration. The wave refraction by currents seems to be not very relevant in a microtidal context such as the western Mediterranean. The main effect of waves on current forecasts is through the modification of the wind drag. The Stokes drift also plays a significant role due to its spatial and temporal characteristics. Finally, the enhanced bottom friction is just noticeable in the inner shelf.Peer Reviewe

Replication data for: Retesting Committee Composition Hypotheses for the U.S. Congress

This study replicates and extends Groseclose’s (1994) tests of Congressional committee composition hypotheses for the 99th Congress. Alternative hypotheses pit partisan explanations of committee organization against the informational roles committees can play in producing ‘‘good’’ public policy. Other hypotheses explore the likelihood that committees reflect (rather than diverge from) floor preferences. Predictably, empirical tests of such hypotheses have produced no scholarly consensus. Groseclose (1994) enters the debate by using Monte Carlo simulations to test alternative hypotheses of Congressional committee organization, and in so doing, he makes few assumptions (and specifically avoids problematic ones) about the ideological distribution of committee and floor members. For example, difference of means tests, often used to evaluate the significance of floorcommittee divergence, assume that preferences are distributed normally and that the mean scores of a committee and floor are the correct test statistics. Groseclose asserts that the normality assumption is less convincing for small committees and that the median score is more appropriate
