The role of the political argentinian ruling class in the promotion of a new international relations pattern

En este artículo se analiza el rol de la dirigencia política argentina en la adopción de las reformas neoliberales en los inicios de la década de los noventa. En especial, estudia una etapa de transición (1987-1991) hacia un consenso entre los dos partidos mayoritarios del sistema político respecto de la adopción de las reformas neoliberales, que profundizaron una inserción internacional dependiente. Se analizarán las posiciones de la Unión Cívica Radical y del Partido Justicialista respecto de tres dimensiones de la política exterior y de la política económica doméstica en dicho período, y las condiciones de gestación de dicho consensoThis article analyzes the role of Argentina’s political leadership in the adoption of neoliberal reforms in the early nineties. In particular, studies the formation of a consensus between the two major parties of the political system on foreign policy, in its various dimensions, which made possible the deepening of international integration dependent. It will analyze the structural and economic conditions of that consensus gestation and their specific conten

The social construction of handicap: The Montevideo experience

En el marco del surgimiento de la razón moderna se comienzan a reconocer diversas posturas teóricas en el devenir histórico de las categorías de análisis de integración y exclusión. Este proceso se encuentra determinado por el imaginario que de "normalidad" se va delimitanto en las diversas sociedades a partir de la ideología dominante que en su tiempo y espacio tiende a la hegemonización. Formar parte de un "nosotros" y ser ubicado en un "otros" marca un punto de partida -y diferencia- importante. Reconociéndose la exclusión social como categoría para el análisis de la pobreza y marginalidad, se lo retoma como mediación para la construcción social del concepto de discapacidad. A partir de este marco teórico, se analiza la experiencia de la Comisión de Gestión Social para la Discapacidad de la Intendencia Municipal de Montevideo en los últimos 15 años.In the process of consolidation of modern rationality, different analytical categories of the concepts of inclusion and exclusion can be identified along history. This process is determined by the social construction of the idea of «normality». This idea is delimited in the different societies by the dominant ideology which, in a specific space/time framework, tends to hegemony. Being part of an «us», or being put in the place of «others» sets an important starting point. Recognising social exclusion as a category for the analysis of poverty and marginality is used as a mediation for the social construction of handicap. From this theoretical framework, this article analyses the experience of the Commission of Social Management for the Handicapped of Montevideo City Council for the last 15 years. of living of the local populatio

Critical reading and use of comics in teaching French as a foreign language

Adapting teaching to all learning styles is a very difficult feat. However, it is desirable for teachers to diversify learning methods as much as possible and to take into account individual differences to improve the chances of success for as many learners as possible. The present research provides a methodological proposal on the multiple possibilities of comics as a tool in the field of foreign languages, focusing on the possible uses of comics with French as a Foreign Language (FFL) students guided towards the reading, analysis and comprehension of academic texts mixed with concepts and expressions of the current society. The results indicate possible positive effects on vocabulary development and motivation towards reading and overcoming language barriers in reading authentic material using context and prior knowledge. Therefore, the comic book is an excellent tool for developing students' reading competence in a foreign language, which aims not only to serve as a way of learning the linguistic characteristics of the target language, but also to learn about the sociocultural reality of said language (both current and past) and to arouse curiosity towards its artistic and cultural representations. In addition, it is a format that increases students’ motivation by creating a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom in which teamwork and reflection are encouraged.Xunta de Galicia | Ref.

Discourses Analysis by a Decolonial Perspective

In the last years in Latin America, the decolonial perspective has been growing up to analyze discourses in qualitative research. This theoretical, methodological, and epistemological way to deconstruction has done an interesting way to analyze social topics. Some authors like Dussel, Quijano, etc. have done the bases about this decolonial regard, which provides Latin American researchers a way to analyze social problems taking the North Global theories but also increasing them with our decolonial perspective. We call it the South Global regard. It is not only to know that the classifications and qualifications of the north global reproduce the inequalities in the material life, but also the theoretical and epistemological way to analyze it. The decolonial theory, used also to analyze discourses, gives the possibility to understand people’s feelings, emotions, and sensations; meanwhile, words are given in the speeches, interviews, participating observation, focus group, etc

Teoría situacional de los públicos: las nuevas aportaciones desde la década de los noventa

Este estudio revisa y clasifica algunas investigaciones recientes sobre la teoría situacional, detectando que la mayoría tratan de incorporar nuevas variables a la teoría o buscan su aplicación conjunta con otros modelos, aunque pocas actúan sobre su estructura o modifican sus elementos básicos. El estudio concluye que pocas de estas propuestas han tenido continuidad y la mayoría carecen de estudios empíricos posteriores que confirmen su validez; sin embargo, todas corroboran la teoría situacional y, al vincularla con temas de actualidad, demuestran su permanencia

Matías : a childhood pathologized by behavior

Quedar confinado a ser adormecido en las sensaciones, percepciones, acciones y formas de expresarse puede ser, muchas veces, la solución del mundo adulto ante sus propias incomodidades frente a un mundo infantil en movimiento. Cuando las situaciones pasan de miles de niños y niñas que están siendo medicados con psicofármacos en el Uruguay, como forma de regular sus movimientos “exacerbados", habría que empezar a desnaturalizar de una buena vez si no se trata de la (ir) responsabilidad colectiva del mundo adulto. A través de la historia de Matías se presenta una vida singular que, con ribetes distintos en sus particularidades, se repite en varios contextos familiares y educativos.Being confined to be lulled into feelings, perceptions, actions and forms of expression can be many times the solution of the adult world to their own discomforts of a child's world in motion. When situations go out of thousands of children being medicated with psychotropic drugs in Uruguay as a way to regulate their movements "exacerbated" we should begin to denature if it is not the collective (ir)responsibility adult world. Through the story of Matias a singular life, welted different in their particulars, repeated in several family and educational contexts is presented.Fil: Míguez Passada, María Noel.

Prevalence of Depression during Pregnancy in Spanish Women: Trajectory and Risk Factors in Each Trimester

The aims of this research were to determine the trajectories of probable depression and major depression during pregnancy and to identify the associated and predictor variables (sociodemographic, pregnancy-related, and psychological) for both conditions in each trimester of pregnancy. A longitudinal study was carried out with 569 pregnant Spanish women who were assessed in the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy. Depression was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and a clinical interview. Measures of anxiety and stress were also included. The prevalence of probable depression in the first, second, and third trimesters was 23.4%, 17.0%, and 21.4%, respectively, and that of major depression was 5.1%, 4.0%, and 4.7%. Thus, the prevalence of both conditions was the highest in the first and third trimesters. The trajectories of probable depression and major depression followed the same pattern throughout pregnancy. All of the psychological variables studied were associated with both conditions in all three trimesters, with perceived stress being a predictor at all times. The association between the other variables and both conditions of depression was similar. Two exceptions stand out: having had previous miscarriages, which was only associated with probable depression and was also a predictor, in the first trimester; and complications during pregnancy, which was only associated with probable and major depression in the third trimester. These findings should be taken into account in routine pregnancy follow-ups, and necessary interventions should be started in the first trimester.S

Versión española abreviada del cuestionario de ansiedad relacionada con el embarazo

The aim of this study is to obtain a Spanish brief version of the Pregnancy Related Anxiety Questionnaire and analyse its psychometric properties. A longitudinal study was carried out on a sample of 569 Spanish pregnant women with normal risk status. Participants were assessed in the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy by using a socio-demographic and obstetric-gynaecological questionnaire, the PRAQ-55, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. PRAQ-55 items with factorial loads > .50 were selected resulting in a final scale of 20 items. A cut-off point ≥ 67 (85th percentile) was used to identify women with high pregnancy-specific anxiety. The findings revealed that PRAQ-20 can be considered a useful screening tool in clinical practice to assess pregnancy-related anxiety in both nulliparous and multiparous pregnant womenEl objetivo de este estudio es obtener una versión breve en español del Cuestionario de Ansiedad Relacionada con el Embarazo y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas. Se realizó un estudio longitudinal en una muestra de 569 mujeres embarazadas españolas con un embarazo de riesgo normal. Se evaluó a las participantes en el primer, segundo y tercer trimestre de embarazo utilizando un cuestionario sociodemográfico y obstétrico-ginecológico, el PRAQ-55, la Escala de Depresión Postparto de Edimburgo y el Inventario de Ansiedad de Estado-Rasgo. Se seleccionaron los ítems de la PRAQ-55 con cargas factoriales > .50, lo que dio como resultado una escala final de 20 ítems. Se utilizó como punto de corte 67 (percentil 85) para identificar a aquellas mujeres con elevada ansiedad específica del embarazo. Los resultados mostraron que el PRAQ-20 puede considerarse una herramienta de cribado útil en la práctica clínica para evaluar la ansiedad relacionada con el embarazo tanto en mujeres embarazadas nulíparas como multíparasS

La educación formal como instituido que media los procesos de inclusión/exclusión de las personas en situación de discapacidad

En estas sociedades occidentales modernas, deviene como “normal" y cotidiano la uniformización de los sujetos; resultando valores cada vez más preciados y exigidos la hegemonía en pensamiento, acción y sensación. En este sentido, y para el logro de tal emprendimiento, se entiende que han ido cambiando a lo largo de estos últimos tres siglos las formas de requerir tal hegemonía, no así la esencia de la misma, orientando a los seres en su individualidad y colectivamente hacia una hegemonía del deber ser. Se considera en este trabajo a la educación formal como uno de los pilares en los que se ha sostenido la formación de los sujetos sociales modernos. Será en base a las demarcaciones propias del disciplinamiento y la normalización adquirida a través de la currícula educativa que se delimiten marginalidades entre lo que se es y lo que se espera de cada sujeto.In these modern societies, becomes as "normal" and ordinary the uniformization of people, precious and required values which results of hegemony in thought, action and feeling. In this sense, it means that they have evolved over these last three centuries the forms of "require" such hegemony, not the essence itself, orienting to humans in their individuality and collectively to hegemony of the duty to be. It is considered the formal education as one of the pillars on which it has been argued the formation of modern social persons; based on discipline and normalization through educational curricula that preclude marginalities between what is and what is expected of each person.Fil: Míguez Passada, María Noel.Fil: Silva Cabrera, Cecilia

Uso de redes sociales para la educación en salud y la comunicación corporativa de hospitales

[Abstract] The main objective of this work is to obtain an in-depth understanding of digital communication strategies employed by hos-pitals by comparing and contrasting the digital communication of two hospitals of reference in Spain. The main method is content analysis of Facebook and Twitter along with in-depth interviews of hospital communication directors. Results show different communication strategies that depend on organizational goals. The public participated in digital communication within three themes: 1) general, sensitive, and topical health issues; 2) personal and professional projects, as well as initia-tives for struggle or sensitization; 3) corporate novelties that encourage public involvement. The use of currently existing platforms of social media from which to manage the online communication should be a priority for hospitals. Multimedia content can help to disclose health information. Online communication strategies are adapted to overall communication strategy and differences in cultural profiles lead to differences in priorities.[Resumen] El objetivo principal de este trabajo es obtener un conocimiento profundo de la comunicación de dos hospitales es-pañoles de referencia en comunicación digital, contrastando sus estrategias. Los principales métodos utilizados son el análisis de contenido de Facebook y Twitter y entrevistas en profundidad con los directores de comunicación de ambos hospitales. Los resultados muestran diferentes estrategias de comunicación sujetas a los objetivos de cada organización. La participación del público se produce en tres tipos de temas: 1) cuestiones de salud de interés general, especialmente sensibles; 2) proyectos personales y profesionales reconocidos, así como iniciativas para la lucha o la sensibilización; 3) novedades corporativas relevantes que afectan a la organización y fomentan la participación de su red. La existencia de una o más plataformas de redes sociales desde las cuales administrar la comunicación online es una prioridad para los hospitales. Los contenidos infográficos pueden ayudar a educar en salud. Las estrategias de comunicación online se adaptan a la estrategia general de comunicación y las diferencias en los perfiles culturales llevan a diferencias en sus prioridades estratégicas
