Gestión de las organizaciones universitarias en el marco de la responsabilidad social

En el presente artículo se realiza una caracterización de las organizaciones universitarias consideradas como sistemas sociales, de suyo es ya una manera de concebir y estructurar a las organizaciones sociales. Presenta una perspectiva de la responsabilidad social de las Universidades y sus docentes, basada fundamentalmente en la formación de nuevos valores éticos, políticos, pedagógicos y comportamientos socialmente responsables y conscientes de la humanización, se reflexiona sobre la gestión universitaria, los retos y perspectivas que deben caracterizar y configurar a la organización universitaria desde el marco de la responsabilidad social

La Profesionalización De La Docencia Universitaria Y Su Influencia En El Desarrollo De Las Competencias Pedagógicas En La Formación De Docentes En El Instituto Superior De Ciencias De La Educación (ISCED) De Benguela, Angola

The presentation of the results of the present study was used to fundamentally analyze the influence of professionalism of university teaching in the development of the pedagogical competences of students in teacher training at the Higher Institute of Educational Sciences (ISCED) in Benguela. This study was carried out on the theme based on reference. The research carried out is of the descriptive type, whose data collection was quantitative and qualitative, from the determined sample. It is made up of teachers, students, and school board members. This, however, is a quantitative and qualitative study. Based on the data collected, the paper concludes on the lack of planning in pairs of the teaching work, the lack of a specific team for the supervision of the teaching work, and the fact that there is no specific criterion in the entrance periphery of teaching candidates

Los problemas de lápiz y papel en la formación de profesores

In this article a didactic approach for both initial and ongoing teacher training is presented, oriented towards the teaching and learning of paper and pencil problem-solving. Taking as a starting point teachers' ideas of the educational possibilities of the problems which are generally used in Science classes (objectives reached and specific procedures which they develop), it then goes on to analyse and evaluate concrete traditional and innovative problem-solving models. This study will also look at commentaries and results regarding the development of these activities from both in-service and trainee teachers. It is shown that these teachers initially accept the educational interest of such problems, and they consider the innovative model to be the most useful because, apart from motivating the students, it also develops research procedures which the traditional problems ignore, and which are fundamental in scientific training

Recent Evidence-Based Clinical Guide for the Use of Dinutuximab Beta in Pediatric Patients with Neuroblastoma

Dinutuximab beta; Pacients pediàtrics; NeuroblastomaDinutuximab beta; Pacientes pediátricos; NeuroblastomaDinutuximab beta; Pediatric patients; NeuroblastomaThe anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab beta (Qarziba®) has been added to the present standard of care for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma in Europe based on the positive results obtained in different studies. In both the first-line and relapsed/refractory settings, treatment with dinutuximab beta attains objective clinical responses in children with high-risk neuroblastoma. Its incorporation has changed the outcome for these patients and optimized management should be guaranteed to minimize possible adverse effects. Most prevalent adverse events include pain, allergic reactions, fever and capillary leak syndrome. There are still no evidence-based clinical guidelines that include the latest published evidence to optimize its use, as it depends on the experience gained in each referral center. Topics such as the mode of preparation and administration, the concomitant use of interleukin-2, the recommended pediatric age and dose for its use, or the adequate management of possible toxicities are important aspects to review. The objective of this article was to update the clinical guide to management with dinutuximab beta of children with neuroblastoma based on the most recent published evidence and our own experience in clinical practice

Competencias de empleabilidad de menores inmigrantes no acompañados en Canarias

Young unaccompanied immigrants have various problems in their professional careers which lead to situations of exclusion and hinder their emancipation. The development and consolidation of employment skills is a necessary condition for the labour integration of this group. This research analyzes the employability skills of unaccompanied young immigrants who must leave the public social protection system when they reach the age of majority. A multiple case study was conducted. The cases were selected: 1) having been in residential care institutions, 2) having been in a job placement program, and 3) are 16-18 years of age. The study data were collected using qualitative and quantitative techniques. Results show that young immigrants have: a) language and socio-emotional difficulties that limit their chances of employability; b) some employability skills that facilitate labour insertion, and c) families which act as a powerful motivator for achieving their goals. We discuss the need to design individual transition plans to help young immigrants overcome their limitations, cope with the transition to adulthood and consolidate their career paths.Los jóvenes inmigrantes no acompañados tienen problemas en su trayectoria profesional que les conducen a situaciones de exclusión y dificultan su emancipación. El desarrollo y la consolidación de habilidades laborales es una condición necesaria para la integración sociolaboral de este colectivo. Esta investigación analiza las habilidades de empleabilidad de los jóvenes inmigrantes no acompañados que deben abandonar el sistema público de protección social cuando alcanzan la mayoría de edad. Se realizó un estudio de casos múltiples. Los casos fueron seleccionados según los siguientes criterios: 1) estar acogidos en instituciones de protección, 2) haber pasado por un programa de inserción laboral, y 3) tener entre 16 y 18 años. Los datos del estudio se recopilaron utilizando técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas. Los resultados muestran que los jóvenes inmigrantes tienen: a) dificultades lingüísticas y socio-emocionales que limitan sus posibilidades de empleabilidad; b) ciertas habilidades de empleabilidad que facilitan la inserción laboral, y c) familias que actúan como un poderoso motivador para lograr sus objetivos. Se necesita diseñar planes individuales de transición a la vida activa para ayudar a estos jóvenes a superar sus limitaciones, hacer frente a la transición a la edad adulta y consolidar sus trayectorias profesionales

La inserción sociolaboral de jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión social

ABSTRACTYoung people at risk of social exclusion have complex lives and find the transition to working life complicated. This article aims to: a) analyze the life trajectories of young people leaving the protection of residential care institutions; b) examine how certain life experiences can influence the success or failure of their social and professional integration and independence. A multiple case study was conducted. Four young people participated in this study and which involved the tutors of the young people and the entrepreneurs who offered the young people work experience. The case selection took three criteria into account: a) have been in residential care institutions; b) have been in a job placement program for at least 6 months and c) are 16-18 years of age. The study data were collected using qualitative and quantitative techniques and instruments: questionnaires, interviews, insertion plans, worksheets, field notes, control records; this allowed the triangulation of the information and gave the results credibility. The results of the study show that a) the life experiences of young people who leave the residential care cause multiple deficiencies; b) these deficiencies limit their opportunities for personal development, their duration in the job and, therefore, their autonomy. It’s necessary to design career development programmes to encourage the labour transition of these young people.RESUMENLos jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión social experimentan una situación vital muy compleja y viven la transición a la vida activa como una etapa complicada. Este artículo tiene como objetivo: a) analizar las trayectorias de vida de los jóvenes que salen del sistema de protección y b) examinar cómo determinadas experiencias vitales pueden influir en el éxito o fracaso de su inserción socio-laboral y emancipación. Se realizó un estudio de casos múltiples en el que participaron cuatro jóvenes, los tutores de los jóvenes y los empresarios con los que realizaron sus prácticas profesionales. La selección de los casos tuvo en cuenta tres criterios: a) haber estado acogido al sistema de protección, b) haber pasado un mínimo de 6 meses en un programa de inserción laboral, c) tener entre 16 y 18 años. En el estudio se utilizaron técnicas e instrumentos cuantitativos y cualitativos: cuestionarios, entrevistas, planes de inserción, fichas de trabajo, diarios de campo y registros de control para triangular la información y dar credibilidad a los resultados. El estudio pone de manifiesto que: a) las experiencias vitales de los jóvenes que salen del sistema de protección generan múltiples carencias; b) estas carencias limitan sus posibilidades de desarrollo personal, impiden su permanencia en los puestos de trabajo y su emancipación. Es necesario diseñar programas de desarrollo profesional para fomentar la inserción laboral de estos jóvenes.ABSTRACTYoung people at risk of social exclusion have complex lives and find the transition to working life complicated.

Transcriptome analysis of perirenal fat from Spanish Assaf suckling lamb carcasses showing different levels of kidney knob and channel fat

[EN] Introduction: Suckling lamb meat is highly appreciated in European Mediterranean countries because of its mild flavor and soft texture. In suckling lamb carcasses, perirenal and pelvic fat depots account for a large fraction of carcass fat accumulation, and their proportions are used as an indicator of carcass quality. Material and Methods: This study aimed to characterize the genetic mechanisms that regulate fat deposition in suckling lambs by evaluating the transcriptomic differences between Spanish Assaf lambs with significantly different proportions of kidney knob and channel fat (KKCF) depots in their carcasses (4 High-KKCF lambs vs. 4 Low-KKCF lambs). Results: The analyzed fat tissue showed overall dominant expression of white adipose tissue gene markers, although due to the young age of the animals (17–36 days), the expression of some brown adipose tissue gene markers (e.g., UCP1, CIDEA) was still identified. The transcriptomic comparison between the High-KKCF and Low-KKCF groups revealed a total of 80 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The enrichment analysis of the 49 DEGs with increased expression levels in the Low-KKCF lambs identified significant terms linked to the biosynthesis of lipids and thermogenesis, which may be related to the higher expression of the UCP1 gene in this group. In contrast, the enrichment analysis of the 31 DEGs with increased expression in the High-KKCF lambs highlighted angiogenesis as a key biological process supported by the higher expression of some genes, such as VEGF-A and THBS1, which encode a major angiogenic factor and a large adhesive extracellular matrix glycoprotein, respectively. Discussion: The increased expression of sestrins, which are negative regulators of the mTOR complex, suggests that the preadipocyte differentiation stage is being inhibited in the High-KKCF group in favor of adipose tissue expansion, in which vasculogenesis is an essential process. All of these results suggest that the fat depots of the High-KKCF animals are in a later stage of development than those of the Low-KKCF lambs. Further genomic studies based on larger sample sizes and complementary analyses, such as the identification of polymorphisms in the DEGs, should be designed to confirm these results and achieve a deeper understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying fat deposition in suckling lambsSIThe research described here has been funded by the project EpiMilksheep (RTI2018-093535-B-100) funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
