    La aprobación de la Convención de los Derechos del Niño en 1989 ha favorecido que desde la investigación científica y el contexto político se incremente el interés por dar voz a la infancia. Este escenario permite avanzar en investigaciones “con niños” además de estudios “sobre niños” otorgando validez científica a la información proporcionada por ellos. Este trabajo expone una experiencia en materia de bienestar subjetivo en la infancia, desde la percepción de los propios niños y niñas, desarrollada en centros de educación infantil de Chile. Se recomienda a los centros educativos ir incorporando instancias que permitan a su alumnado contribuir en las propuestas de mejora para su bienestar personal y su experiencia escolarThe approval of the Convention of the Rights of the Child in 1989, has favored that from the scientific research and the political context the interest to give voice to the childhood increases.

    El presente artículo es resultado de la investigación Estrategia dinámico-participativa para potenciar el estilo comunicativo flexible en jóvenes de primer año de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y Humanísticas, que responde a la Maestría en Desarrollo Cultural Comunitario; asimismo, constituye un resultado del proyecto de investigación Perfeccionamiento de la comunicación y sus estilos desde el proceso formativo. Tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de formación sociocultural como directriz de trabajo del sistema educacional cubano, con énfasis en la Educación Superior. Para ello, los autores establecen tres etapas en las que se concreta el vínculo indisoluble que a lo largo de la historia del sistema revolucionario existió entre sociedad y cultura, y cómo se refleja en el sistema educacional. Se toma como punto de partida para el análisis, que el proceso de formación sociocultural se sustenta en la manera en que los sujetos interpretan la cultura y conforman sus concepciones al respecto, en estrecho vínculo con los hechos sociales, lo que, en el contexto educacional se traduce en la enseñanza de una visión de la sociedad desde la cultura y viceversa, en función de alcanzar el desarrollo integral del sujeto al que aspira la nación

    An evaluation of the genetic connectivity and temporal stability of the blue and red shrimp Aristeus antennatus: a case study of spawning females’ grounds in the Western Mediterranean Sea

    Get PDF
    The blue and red shrimp Aristeus antennatus has been intensively exploited by trawling fishery in the Western Mediterranean Sea. Implementation of an adequate management plan needs complete genetic data of the non-spawning and spawning grounds of the species. During the reproductive period, the species forms spawning aggregations in the middle slope, mainly constituted of mature females carrying spermatophores. Seven spawning females’ grounds in the Western Mediterranean Sea from Gulf of Lions (France) to Cabo de Palos (Spain) were sampled during two consecutive years, 2016 and 2017. This study assessed for the first time the levels of genetic diversity within spawning grounds, the genetic divergence among them and estimated the degree of temporal genetic stability using multilocus genotyping. Our results showed a high connectivity of the spawning females’ grounds that remains stable during the two analysed years, explained by passive larval dispersal, together with juveniles and adults’ migration. We advise that a future management plan for A. antennatus fishery should consider the Mediterranean Subarea GSA6 as a single unit, but it should be combined with local monitoring in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the populations.This work was supported by a grant from Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (CTM2014-54648-C2-2-R) to MIR.

    Mating structure of the blue and red shrimp, Aristeus antennatus (Risso, 1816) characterized by relatedness analysis

    Understanding life history variation and strategies is crucial for stock assessment and fisheries management due to the direct effects on population dynamics, effective population size, sex-ratios, levels of inbreeding, and relatedness among individuals. Aristeus antennatus (En ─ Blue and red shrimp; Fr ─ Crevette rouge; Sp ─ Gamba rosada) is one of the most exploited demersal resources in the Western Mediterranean Sea. However, information regarding the mating system and mate choice preferences remains largely unknown. Advances in molecular genetic markers and methods of inferring biological relationships among individuals have facilitated new insights into the reproductive dynamics of the species in the wild. Here, we used microsatellite markers to examine the A. antennatus mating system and putative mate choice preferences. Our results provided clear evidence of polyandry and polygyny. Relatedness analyses, together with FST and DAPC values showed females exhibited a mating bias towards unrelated males. Mating males were inferred from spermatophores and suggested males were sympatric with females and were also from other spawning grounds. Our findings provided the first description of the reproductive behavior of blue and red shrimpThis work was supported by a grant from Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (CTM2014-54648-C2-2-R) to MIR.

    Subcellular sorting of neuregulins controls the assembly of excitatory-inhibitory cortical circuits

    Get PDF
    The assembly of specific neuronal circuits relies on the expression of complementary molecular programs in presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. In the cerebral cortex, the tyrosine kinase receptor ErbB4 is critical for the wiring of specific populations of GABAergic interneurons, in which it paradoxically regulates both the formation of inhibitory synapses as well as the development of excitatory synapses received by these cells. Here, we found that Nrg1 and Nrg3, two members of the neuregulin family of trophic factors, regulate the inhibitory outputs and excitatory inputs of interneurons in the mouse cerebral cortex, respectively. The differential role of Nrg1 and Nrg3 in this process is not due to their receptor-binding EGF-like domain, but rather to their distinctive subcellular localization within pyramidal cells. Our study reveals a novel strategy for the assembly of cortical circuits that involves the differential subcellular sorting of family-related synaptic proteins.Supported by grants from the Medical Research Council (MRC Programme Grant, MR/S010785/1) and European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement (AIMS-2-TRIALS, 777394) to BR and OM, and Fondation Roger de Spoelberch to OM.

    Genetic structure and population connectivity of the blue and red shrimp Aristeus antennatus

    Get PDF
    The blue and red shrimp Aristeus antennatus is a demersal marine species harvested by bottom trawling in the Mediterranean Sea, the adjacent Atlantic Ocean (AO) waters, and the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean (IO). As it is considered to be a priority species for sustainable fishing, identification of its genetic stocks and the connectivity between them is essential. Using 12 microsatellite loci we detected at least four genetic stocks distributed in the Western Mediterranean (WM), Eastern Mediterranean (EM), AO, and IO and signals for a possible fifth stock in the Alborán Sea. We detected no additional population structuring within the WM. Thus, although the Almería-Orán Front exerts some isolating effect, high genetic homogeneity and gene flow are present within the WM Basin. The IO stock is genetically closer to the AO stock than to the others; thus, the species dispersion route is more likely via the Atlantic Ocean than via the Red Sea. Large effective population sizes suggest population sustainability, but moderate genetic diversity values indicate to proceed with caution. Our genetic results serve as a basis for species conservation to ensure long-term sustainability of this marine resourceThis work was supported by grants to M.I.R. by the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (CTM2006–00785) and Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (CTM2014-54648-C2-2-R).
