Aprender a ser cidadán. A Educación para a Cidadanía, un lugar para a educación en valores

[Resumo] O propósito deste estudo é situar a recente polémica en España sobre a introdu- ción da nova materia Educación para a Cidadanía no contexto da crecente preocupación entre os educadores e as institucións educativas pola educación en valores, unha preocupa- ción que, por outra banda, ten xa uns antecedentes prolongados no tempo. Defenderase que a referida polémica ten respondido a intereses políticos e ideolóxicos, non especificamente educativos, promovidos desde sectores que xustamente están a procurar confundir, disimu- lar ou directamente negar o vínculo evidente entre os obxectivos contemplados na nova materia e esa preocupación pola educación en valores. Finalmente, analizaranse os conti- dos dos libros desa materia que teñen sido publicados ata o de agora en lingua galega.[Abstract] This study examines the recent controversy in Spain regarding the introduction of the new subject, the Education of Citizens, and relates it to the growing concern among educators and educational institutions for the teaching of values, which has, however, been an issue for a long time. According to the article, this controversy reflects political and ideo- logical interests, not specifically related to education, promoted by sectors whose purpose is precisely to confuse, conceal or directly deny the obvious link between the objectives envisaged in the new subject and this concern for the teaching of values. Lastly, the article analyzes the contents of books published to date on this subject in the Galician language

A filosofía e a crise da educación: entre Arendt e Rancière

On one hand, this article states that the current and ongoing crisis of education arises from the need to resolve the tension between the principle of equality (expansion, in democratic countries, of access of all citizens to all the levels of education), and the principle of merit (application of criteria of objectivity in degree completion programs, particularly at higher education levels). On the other hand, a comparative analysis of two philosophical texts focused on education – ”The Crisis in Education”, included in Between Past and Future, by Hannah Arendt, and Le maître ignorant by Jacques Rancière – will be used to test this hypothesis: that a certain way to understand education, predominant in many of the approaches characteristic of classical philosophy, not only do not allow to face appropriately a solution to this crisis, but even could end up being counterproductive.Neste artigo, por um lado, afirma-se que a atual e prolongada crise educacional decorre da necessidade de resolver a tensão entre o princípio da igualdade (ampliação, em países democráticos, do acesso de todos os cidadãos a todos os níveis de ensino) e o princípio do mérito (aplicação de critérios de objetividade na obtenção de graus, especialmente nos níveis de ensino superior). Por outro lado, a análise comparativa entre dois textos filosóficos que têm por objeto a educação - "A crise da educação", incluída em Between Past and Future, de Hannah Arendt, e Le maître ignorante de Jacques Rancière - serviram para testar essa hipótese: que uma certa forma de entender a educação, predominante em muitas das abordagens típicas da filosofia clássica, não só não permite lidar com a solução dessa crise de maneira ideal, mas pode até se tornar contraproducente.Neste artigo, por unha parte, afírmase que a actual e prolongada crise da educación xorde da necesidade de resolver a tensión entre o principio de igualdade (ampliación, nos países democráticos, do acceso da totalidade da cidadanía a todos os niveis de educación) e o principio de mérito (aplicación de criterios de obxectividade na obtención dos títulos, especialmente nos niveis de ensino superiores). Por outra, a análise comparativa entre dous textos filosóficos que teñen por obxecto a educación - ”A crise da educación”, incluído en Between Past and Future, de Hannah Arendt, e Le maître ignorant de Jacques Rancière-servirán para poñer a proba esta hipótese: que certa maneira de entender a educación, predominante en moitos dos enfoques propios da filosofía clásica, non só non permiten afrontar de forma idónea a solución a esa crise senón que mesmo poden chegar a ser contraproducentes

Measurement of the cosmic ray spectrum above 4×10184{\times}10^{18} eV using inclined events detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory

A measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum for energies exceeding $4{\times}10^{18}$ eV is presented, which is based on the analysis of showers with zenith angles greater than $60^{\circ}$ detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013. The measured spectrum confirms a flux suppression at the highest energies. Above $5.3{\times}10^{18}$ eV, the "ankle", the flux can be described by a power law $E^{-\gamma}$ with index $\gamma=2.70 \pm 0.02 \,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.1\,\text{(sys)}$ followed by a smooth suppression region. For the energy ($E_\text{s}$) at which the spectral flux has fallen to one-half of its extrapolated value in the absence of suppression, we find $E_\text{s}=(5.12\pm0.25\,\text{(stat)}^{+1.0}_{-1.2}\,\text{(sys)}){\times}10^{19}$ eV.Comment: Replaced with published version.

Energy Estimation of Cosmic Rays with the Engineering Radio Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is part of the Pierre Auger Observatory and is used to detect the radio emission of cosmic-ray air showers. These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30 to 80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy deposit per area is determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated using a two-dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due to interference between the geomagnetic and charge-excess emission components. The spatial integral over the signal distribution gives a direct measurement of the energy transferred from the primary cosmic ray into radio emission in the AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a 1 EeV air shower arriving perpendicularly to the geomagnetic field. This radiation energy -- corrected for geometrical effects -- is used as a cosmic-ray energy estimator. Performing an absolute energy calibration against the surface-detector information, we observe that this radio-energy estimator scales quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy as expected for coherent emission. We find an energy resolution of the radio reconstruction of 22% for the data set and 17% for a high-quality subset containing only events with at least five radio stations with signal.Comment: Replaced with published version.

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8 \pm 0.7 (stat) \pm 6.7 (sys) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from state-of-the-art first-principle calculations shows agreement with our measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory.Comment: Replaced with published version.

Relevance of gastrointestinal manifestations in a large Spanish cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: what do we know?

SLE can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. GI symptoms are reported to occur in >50% of SLE patients. To describe the GI manifestations of SLE in the RELESSER (Registry of SLE Patients of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology) cohort and to determine whether these are associated with a more severe disease, damage accrual and a worse prognosis. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide, retrospective, multicentre, cross-sectional cohort study of 3658 SLE patients who fulfil =4 ACR-97 criteria. Data on demographics, disease characteristics, activity (SLEDAI-2K or BILAG), damage (SLICC/ACR/DI) and therapies were collected. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between lupus patients with and without GI damage to establish whether GI damage is associated with a more severe disease. RESULTS: From 3654 lupus patients, 3.7% developed GI damage. Patients in this group (group 1) were older, they had longer disease duration, and were more likely to have vasculitis, renal disease and serositis than patients without GI damage (group 2). Hospitalizations and mortality were significantly higher in group 1. Patients in group 1 had higher modified SDI (SLICC Damage Index). The presence of oral ulcers reduced the risk of developing damage in 33% of patients. CONCLUSION: Having GI damage is associated with a worse prognosis. Patients on a high dose of glucocorticoids are at higher risk of developing GI damage which reinforces the strategy of minimizing glucocorticoids. Oral ulcers appear to decrease the risk of GI damage. © The Author(s) 2021. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the British Society for Rheumatology
