11. Responsabilitat. La responsabilidad política en Hannah Arendt

HE el presente trabajo pretendo analizar la capacidad de los análisis arendlianos para pensar nuevas situaciones que afectan a la responsabilidad individual y colectiva frente a situaciones de violencia política y de injusticias estructurales. Igualmente, examinaré la propuesta de Iris Marion Young acerca de una responsabilidad política colectiva frente a las injusticias estructurales, de clara inspiración arendtiana

Responsabilidades globales e injusticias estructurales. Una lectura de Iris Marion Youn

Los análisis de Iris Marion Young sobre responsabilidad política nos plantean la necesidad de pensar en las consecuencias de nuestras acciones y en cómo estas afectan a otros sujetos situados en procesos transnacionales. Este trabajo presenta una lectura de la propuesta de Young, comparándola con la idea de responsabilidad colectiva difundida por Hannah Arendt. Ambas autoras llevan la responsabilidad al terreno de la acción colectiva frente a las injusticias, desligándola de la noción de culpa y de la intencionalidad. Este trabajo analiza las posibilidades de la responsabilidad basada en la conexión social para evaluar procesos de injusticias estructurales en nuestras sociedades.Iris Marion Young analyzes on political responsibility make us think about the consequences of our actions and how they affect other subjects at transnational processes. This article presents a reading of Young's proposal, comparing it with the idea of collective responsibility in Hannah Arendt. Both authors put responsibility into the field of collective action against injustice, separating it from the notion of guilt and intentionality. This paper analyzes the possibilities of connection-based responsibility to evaluate processes of social structural injustices in our societies

Women’s Rights, Peace, and Democracy: A Problematic Relationship

This paper analyses the reformulations of citizenship, positive peace and democracy‎ of both contemporary feminist theory and the feminist movement. ‎In doing so, it will explain the interrelationship between the feminist movement‎ as a democratic movement and its proposals for reformulating concepts‎ and ideas that make up what we can call the “grammar of politics”. Following ‎Seyla Benhabib, the “democratic iterations” that have been achieved in the ‎framework of human rights will be presented, giving some examples at national‎ and international levels. Finally, the changes and challenges in women’s‎ demands for rights in current scenarios will be analysed.

Sistemas de Lie, simetrías de Lie y transformaciones recíprocas

[ES]En esta tesis, estamos interesados en sistemas de interés físico y matemático, descritos por medio de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias y en derivadas parciales. Como es bien sabido, gran parte de los fenómenos naturales pueden modelizarse a través de estas ecuaciones. Por ejemplo, las cuatro ecuaciones de la Electrodinámica de Maxwell, o las ecuaciones de Einstein son ecuaciones diferenciales. Vamos a centrar nuestra investigación en dos tipos de sistemas: los llamados sistemas de Lie, muy recurrentes en la literatura, dadas sus múltiples propiedades geométricas y las ecuaciones diferenciales en derivadas parciales que aparecen en modelos físicos como los pertenecientes a la Mecánica de Fluidos, Física del Plasma o la Neurociencia, entre otros. Dada la importancia de los métodos geométricos en el tratamiento de ecuaciones diferenciales, vamos a formular nuestra investigación desde el punto de vista de la geometría diferencial

Study of micro-illumination techniques with optical fibers and its application in diagnostic methods

The scope of the project is to characterize the illumination in our specific system, although possibilities extend to be able to measure any effect that light produces (optical, acoustic or electric effect) not only used to illuminate but also to excite (increasing the chances not only to diagnosis but also to the therapy, as previously mentioned). The working place provided for the development of the project was perfectly suitable in order to overcome the physical part of the analysis. Since the first objective for the development of the measuring system was not the analysis of biological tissues and emulsions but the analysis of metallic (opaque) surfaces, the laboratory was not prepared for biological studies and sample preparations. Due to the lack of time and the difficulties to maintain the samples in a good state, selected tissues and turbid media were simple, easy to handle, prepare and maintain. For this first phase of the study, characterization was done in a controlled media. As a next stage this would be applied to more complex tissues.Ingeniería Biomédic

Global vs. Local Heating in Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia

This thesis studies how the efficacy and safety of magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia (MNH) are affected by variations in local (individual particle level) heat caused by polydispersity in size and anisotropy and the link between local and global (entire system) heat. This is done by using a Metropolis Monte Carlo computational technique. MNH is a new medical technique whose aim is to destroy cancer cells, which is achieved by introducing magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into the tumor and heating them up to 45ºC by applying an alternating magnetic field. The motivation for this thesis arises from two sets of experiments: ones reporting cell death without having a global macroscopic temperature variation and others showing huge temperature gradients in the particle surface rapidly vanishing from it a few nanometers away. These observations go against some commonly presumed ideas about efficacy conditions in MNH and suggest the relevance of investigating local heat

The CLIL context in Primary School : discovering the world through English

Treball Final de Màster Universitari en Ensenyament i Adquisició de la Llengua Anglesa en Contextos Multilingües (Pla de 2013). Codi: SAY031. Curs: 2014/2015As we all know nowadays, English learning is one of the fundamental goals in the Spanish educative system, since it is the language of the world and most of the contents and information we receive every day are in that language. Therefore, knowing English gives you many advantages, including the possibility to access new points of view, information sources or to communicate with people around the world, as well as many others. As a consequence, it seems that we are all obsessed with this matter: parents, politicians, schools; looking for the best method to make our kids sound like native speakers. Perhaps here starts our erroneous conception of English teaching, given that we expect our kids to reach a level which is hardly achievable. Hence, the poor English level that Spanish people following these programs have obtained in the last few years. Fortunately it seems that things are beginning to change and many new methods are more focused on a communicative approach (English as a tool and not as an end), such as the Context and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), created by David Marsh in 1994 (Marsh, Maljers and Hartiala, 2001), which is in vogue now. At this point, I would like to comment that my teaching proposal will follow this method, since in my Practicum I could observe and take part in some subjects that used it (Social Science, Natural Science, Arts and Crafts) and I found it very useful for children to know the world around them but also to learn English, as long as they are not worried about making mistakes when speaking or writin
