The Palestenian-Israeli conflict and its impact on the mental health of youth

This paper explores what mental disorders can develop as a result of continued exposure to a conflict situation, specifically the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. A brief history of the region, and a summary of the current diplomatic situation are outlined to give a background to the subsequent information. The specific disorders prevalent in the region are identified and an explanation on how the ongoing conflict in the region exacerbates these disorders is provided These include Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, fear, Selective Mutism, Separation Anxiety, and somatoform disorders. PTSD is extremely prevalent within the young populations of both Palestine and Israel, being more common in the bombed areas. In addition to these disorders, anxiety disorders, such as separation anxiety, are more common in areas that are seldom attacked or areas that have not been affected As a conclusion, a strategy, proposed by Post, is presented to combat the terrorist groups that are undermining the peace process between Palestine and Israel while addressing the various mental issues at hand

The roman-republican castella on the south-eastern coast of Hispania Citerior: the beginning of the romanization of the Iberian population

Some archaeological sites located on coastal promontories of the north coast of Alicante (Spain) were traditionally interpreted as small Iberian enclaves from the 2nd and 1st century BC dedicated to trade with Rome. This interpretation stemmed from their location next to good inlets and the outstanding number of Roman amphorae and fine ware among the findings. However, the research project being developed since 2010 reinterprets these sites as a network of forts built during the first roman civil wars, around 77 BC, to control the passage of senatorial ships between Ebusus and Carthago Nova. In this new context, Roman ceramics are no longer the object of exchange between Iberians and Italic merchants, but the kitchen and tableware used by legionaries, as well as the storage containers for their own food. The Iberian amphorae and other painted Iberian vessels present in the forts are the containers of the products that the Iberian population, allied with Sertorius, provided for the provisioning of the soldiers, but it may also be pointing out a hypothetical presence of Iberian auxilia in the coastal garrisons. In any case, it is through this contact, in the midst of a war in the 70's BC, when the Iberian population of the regio Contestania first encounters the Roman economic system and starts the slow transmission of new cultural values.Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, R&D project HAR2016-76917-P

La educación musical en el Califato de Córdoba

Con la siguiente comunicación pretendemos dar a conocer un algunos aspectos del trabajo de investigación que estamos llevando a cabo, relacionado con la música árabe en Córdoba.No existen muchas referencias con relación a la música practicada por los primeros árabes que vivieron en dicha ciudad, sin embargo la situación cambia totalmente con los Omeyas. Los primeros datos obtenidos corresponden a Abd ar-Rahmán I, el Justo, primer emir omeya de España (734 - 788), el cual, en su palacio de Córdoba, siguiendo la tradición de los califas de Damasco tuvo para su recreo personal una esclava cantora llamada Achfa. Dicha esclava le entretenía con sus cantos árabes y su deliciosa música de laúd.El desarrollo de la escuela musical arábigo-andaluza coincide con el apogeo de las destacadas escuelas de canto de la Meca y Medina, adquiriendo a partir de aquí un considerable empuje con la llegada a Córdoba de Ziryab, donde creó lo que se puede considerar el primer Conservatorio de Música del mundo islámico, realizando importantes modificaciones en el laúd, al añadirle una quinta cuerda.Fue un gran pedagogo e innovador en la enseñanza del canto. Su método lo dividía en tres partes o tiempos; llegando a ser muy popular en España y postergando a los anteriores a él

INVESTING IN PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN – A CASE STUDY OF VIDZEME REGION (LATVIA)

Social investments are important for a child’s development and future success. Parental leaves and Early Childhood Education and Care services (ECEC) are among main forms of social investment, contributing to child poverty reduction and increasing equality, as well as underpinning the potential for skilled workers in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyse availability of the main forms of social investment in preschool age children - early childhood education services and parental leaves, in Vidzeme region (Latvia) for a case study. An analysis of policy documents, parents’ surveys at pre-school institutions, interviews with education institution representatives and local authorities regarding education and social matters were conducted in the research. The support system for parents is still dominated by the “passive” form of support system. However, social investment policies are becoming increasingly more important. This is achieved by supporting parents' access to social investment services and by increasing the amount of parental leave benefits. In 2013-2015 funding for child-care and family policy has increased. Expenditure growth was mostly affected by an increase in the allowance for childcare and the minimum parental allowance. The availability of ECEC is moderate, but since 2009 private institutions and since 2013 babysitting services have been co-funded at the national level till May 31, 2016 to improve it. Since September 2015 a 3-year innovative project “Vouchers for the provision of child minder services to workers with nonstandard work schedules” has been introduced too, to promote parental employment and work and family balance. In Vidzeme region, for example, service availability is additionally stimulated by free transport services, ECEC fee discounts for poor, low-income and large families, etc. Results show that the availability of ECEC has been improved and there has been signs of positive changes in children’s development. Nevertheless, the availability of ECEC is moderate, and in some poorer municipalities in Latvia Matthew effects can be spotted – the middle and highest strata of society use services to a higher extend then the low-income society
