Migrant minors: educational and labor needs detected through a qualitative study.

A lo largo de este artículo se llevará a cabo una aproximación a la realidad de jóvenes extutelados que, en su día, fueron acogidos en el Sistema de Protección de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía en calidad de menores migrantes. Esta aproximación se realizará por medio del análisis de 42 entrevistas realizadas a jóvenes extutelados, entre las que se encuentran 38 sujetos pertenecientes al sexo masculino y 4 al femenino, deteniéndonos en aquellos aspectos relacionados con lo educativo, prácticas formativas y lo laboral. Las entrevistas a estos jóvenes se han realizado a través de las diferentes oleadas de trabajo de campo llevadas a cabo durante la realización de la tesis doctoral.Throughout this article, an approach to the reality of youngtsers will be carried out who, in their day, were received in the System of Protection of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia as migrant minors

Training of future STEAM teachers: Comparison between primary degree students and secondary master's degree students

In recent years, the presence of the acronym STEAM has been growing in the educational field. All around the world we are faced with a growing demand for professional STEM skills, however, who has the responsibility to train future STEAM teachers? In this article, we explain the results of an investigation with university students pursuing a degree in primary education and Master’s degree students in secondary education, with technology speciality, participating in a seminar about STEAM projects design in two consecutive academic calendar years (18/19 and 19/20). We analyse the responses to a questionnaire which was specifically designed to discover their knowledge about STEAM and the predisposition towards its extended study with a set of semi-structured interviews to delve into the causes of the responses. Previous knowledge about the meaning of STEM and the predisposition of pre-service teachers towards the future design of projects based on the STEAM disciplines are compared. The results show significant differences between the previous knowledge and the perceptions of the teachers from both specializations: primary and secondary level. The results also confirm the low levels of prior knowledge with a slight tendency towards improvement when two consecutive courses are compared. The findings emphasize the need to integrate STEAM teacher training into official curriculaPeer Reviewe

Variation in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) catches related to El Niño-Southern Oscillation events at the entrance to the Gulf of California

Fishery catch data on yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) were examined to study the effects of El Niño events between 1990 and 1999 for an area in the northeastern tropical Pacific (18−24°N, 112−104°W). The data were extracted from a database of logbook records from the Mexican tuna purse-seine f leet. Latitudinal distribution of the catches increased from south to north for the 10-year period. Highest catches and effort were concentrated between 22°N and 23°N. This area accumulated 48% of the total catch over the 10year period. It was strongly correlated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. At least two periods of exceptionally high catches occurred following El Niño events in 1991 and 1997. Peaks of catches were triggered by the arrival of positive anomalies of sea surface temperature (SST) to the area. A delay of two to four months was observed between the occurrence of maximum SST anomalies at the equator and peaks of catch. Prior to these two events, negative SST anomalies were the dominant feature in the study area and catch was extremely low. This trend of negative SST anomalies with low catches followed by positive SST anomalies and high catches may be attributed to northward yellowfin tuna migration patterns driven by El Niño forcing, a result that contrasts with the known behavior of decreasing relative abundance of these tuna after El Niño events in the eastern Pacific. However, this decrease in relative abundance may be the result of a local or subregional effect

Value and impact of massive blood transfusion protocols in the management of trauma patients

Trauma-related injuries are the second leading cause of death and disability in South Africa. The traditional approach to surgery and resuscitation of severely injured patients has undergone change over the past 10 years. New concepts like damage control surgery and damage control resuscitation radically changed the practice of conventional resuscitation. Bleeding trauma patients die as a consequence of the so-called lethal triad or bloody vicious cycle: acidosis, coagulopathy and hypothermia. Effective initial management of trauma patients can help to improve outcomes.Keywords: massive blood transfusion protocol, damage control surgery, damage control resuscitation, hypothermia, coagulopathy, metabolic acidosis, massive bleedin

The reflection of reality from our kids and divorce.

¿Tienen los menores derechos propios y reales, en un periodo de ruptura sentimental de sus progenitores/as? ¿Prevalecen los derechos de los padres sobre los derechos de los/las hijos/as? ¿Cuáles son nuestras responsabilidades con los menores? ¿La responsabilidad como padres o madres acaba cuando se rompe una relación de pareja? ¿Los padres siempre tienen derecho a ver a los/las menores tras una ruptura, independientemente de las circunstancias en las que se produjo la misma? De un tiempo a esta parte, estas son algunas de las preguntas que, tanto a profesionales como legos, inmersos de una manera u otra en litigios de familia, pueden suscitar interés. Como profesionales de la psicología forense interesadas en esta temática, y atendiendo al elevado número de caso que nos llegan a evaluación, derivados de esta situación, consideramos de especial importancia atender este tipo de cuestiones, así como el abordaje de posibles entornos de riesgo, desde una perspectiva psicoeducativa.Do our kids have their own real rights during their parents `sentimental brakage? Are parents `rights above their kids` rights? What our responsabilities with young sters? Does the responsability as parents end when a coupleis over? Do parents have always the right to see their kids after a breakage, independently from circunstances? For some time now these are some of the questions that both professionals and non professionals, involved any how with family disputes, may show interest. As forensic psychologist professionals interested in this subject and following so many cases that arrive for evaluation from this situation, we consider of suchan importance to attend this kind of questions, as to aproveche posible risky environments, from a psychological educational perspective
