    La motivación de este artículo es invitar a reflexionar sobre las prácticas específicas que implican el trabajo de campo en las ciencias sociales en general y en la teoría de las organizaciones, en particular. El objetivo a desarrollar es explicitar algunas reflexiones que, aparentemente, se sitúan a contracorriente de las prácticas de investigación que llevan a cabo algunos investigadores sociales y, simultáneamente, tratar de recobrar las discusiones y ciertas tendencias dominantes de las cátedras de Epistemología y Metodología de la Investigación.Fil: Fernández, Hugo Oscar.

    Sermones y espejos de principes castellanos

    This essay describes the evolution of the political discourse in the Castilian mirrors of princes. In fact it can be observed that, even if the catalogues of vices and virtues were already considerably important in the treaties of Arabic origin, these lists became even more relevant in the treaties of western sources and became their distinctive mark. This allowed the bringing together of the political and the religious discourse and it especially contributed to the mixing of two literary genres: the mirrors of princes with the sermons.Con este estudio se propone el autor destacar la evolución del discurso político en los espejos de príncipes castellanos. En este sentido se puede observar que, si bien en los tratados de origen árabe los catálogos de vicios y virtudes ocuparon un puesto considerable, estos listados se volvieron aún más importantes en los tratados de fuentes occidentales y se transformaron en su marca distintiva. Ello permitió un acercamiento aún más estrecho entre discurso político y religioso, en especial favoreció el cruce de dos géneros literarios: el de los espejos de príncipes con el de los sermones

    Purpose of investigation: To compare serum levels of triglycerides and cholesterol and the dyslipidemic factor (DLF): (triglycerides (mg/dl)/150) X (cholesterol (mg/dl)/200) among puerperal women with or without preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: three groups of puerperal women were formed: group A uncomplicated deliveries, group B deliveries complicated with preeclampsia that had not attended the Obstetric Intensive Care Unit (OICU); and group C puerperal women complicated with preeclampsia and that had attended the OICU. Results: The authors studied a total of 47 puerperal women, 14 without complications, 11 complicated with preeclampsia, and 22 complicated with preeclampsia requiring attention at the OICU. Thirteen (92.8%) puerperal women without complications and 100% of puerperal women complicated with preeclampsia had triglycerides higher than 150 mg/dl at least three days post-delivery. Furthermore, six puerperal women without complications (42.8%), one puerperal woman complicated with preeclampsia (9%), and eight puerperal women complicated with preeclampsia requiring attention at the OICU (36.3%) had levels in crescendo. Conclusions: Hypertriglyceridemia is a persistent problem in puerperal women who suffered preeclampsia and the DLF could be a useful tool to evaluate a mixed lipemic state. Finally, preeclampsia and dyslipidemia might be considered as risk factors to develop chronic endothelial disease (CED)

    Pilot Evaluation of the Mexican Model of Dual TVET in the State of Mexico

    Since the first public announcement of the Mexican Model of Dual TVET (MMFD) in June 2013, more than 5,000 apprentices have enrolled in the programme and around 2,000 already graduated. The Ministry of Education (SEP and CONALEP), the Chambers of Commerce (i.e. COPARMEX) and the German Cooperation Agencies (i.e. CAMEXA) have been collaborating with state authorities, families, schools and companies to turn this initial idea into a significant and sustainable initiative. Although the numbers are still small, it seemed necessary to undertake a pilot evaluation study of the implementation and impact of this program on its participants to inform those responsible for this policy. We decided to focus our study on the State of Mexico because of the higher number of apprentices in this state and because of the access that the CONALEP authorities gave us to the informants. The report that you are about to read is structured in four main sections. In the first one we reviewed the international evidence on the experiences of policy transfer of Dual TVET. Transferring international good practice sin TVET is always a complex process that requires careful attention to the experiences and lessons from those that tried to do it before. In the second section, we present the main characteristics of the Mexican Model of Dual TVET and the specificities of its implementation in the State of Mexico. In a federal country like Mexico, it is important to understand that national policies may largely vary across states in terms of design and implementation. The third section outlines the methodology of the study, which is inspired by the realist evaluation principles. Realist evaluation, not only tries to measure the impact of interventions on beneficiaries, but also to understand the causal mechanisms that explain why this policy is more effective in certain contexts and with certain beneficiary populations than in others. In the final section, the results of the interviews and the survey with 25 apprentices that completed their studies under the MMFD in the State of Mexico are presented. Obviously, the reduced sample of the study limits the representativeness of our findings but it will offer some expected and unexpected results that should not be ignored by those involved in this policy in the State of Mexico and nationally
