La primera generación de estudiantes de la Academia Nacional de Música (1908-1919): análisis desde un enfoque de género

El presente artículo pretende realizar un análisis de cómo los roles de género han configurado las preferencias musicales e instrumentales de los primeros estudiantes de la Academia Nacional de Música, institución que abrió paso a la profesionalización de las mujeres en el arte musical en un contexto de dominio y de prácticas patriarcales, pero también de transformaciones en el acceso de las mujeres a la esfera pública. Se repasará la trayectoria de aquellas que lograron ejercer la profesión musical; asimismo, se dará cuenta de cómo los roles de género fueron reproducidos en el ámbito educativo, y de manera particular en una institución musical. El marco temporal de esta investigación abarca desde 1908, año en que se crea la Academia Nacional de Música bajo la protección de una influyente clase dirigente peruana adscrita al Partido Civil, hasta 1919, año en que culmina el mandato del presidente civilista José Pardo

Creating Learning Environments Free of Violence in Special Education Through the Dialogic Model of Prevention and Resolution of Conflicts

Violence suffered by children is a violation of human rights and a global health problem. Children with disabilities are especially vulnerable to violence in the school environment, which has a negative impact on their well-being and health. Students with disabilities educated in special schools have, in addition, more reduced experiences of interaction that may reduce both their opportunities for learning and for building protective social networks of support. This study analyses the transference of evidence-based actions to prevent violence in schools - the dialogic model of prevention and resolution of conflicts (DMPRC) - in the context of a special school, and its impact on the reduction of violence, the creation of egalitarian relationships, and the prevention of bullying. A case study with a communicative approach was conducted including in-depth interviews and communicative focus groups with the diverse participants to analyze the process of transformation carried out in the school and the main actions that give students a voice in the management and creation of egalitarian non-violent relationships. The results show that the inclusion of the students' voices in the resolution and prevention of conflicts reduces violence, empowers special education students, strengthens friendship relationships, caring behavior, and active positioning among the community. The positive impact of the transference of the DMPRC to special schools contributes to students' well-being and healthy development by offering safe and protective educational spaces and quality emotional education, also contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals related to the elimination of all forms of violence in childhood

Building a More Inclusive Workplace for Religious Minorities

The current secular models are putting strain on religious diversity in the context of the workplace. With religious diversity growing in European societies and the visible expression of religious beliefs and behaviors, tensions have arisen linked to the rise of xenophobia. The scientific literature shows that religious minorities are discriminated in the workplace, especially Muslim women that wear Islamic veils. Nonetheless, the people pertaining to these religious minorities have agency, and they can overcome this discrimination. This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review of scientific articles published in SCOPUS and Web of Science using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). The review focuses on the management of religious diversity in labor contexts, especially regarding Muslim women wearing Islamic veils. The results identify some successfully implemented actions that contribute to more inclusive workplaces for religious minorities, especially for Muslim women wearing Islamic veils. Some of these actions are implemented from the employee perspective and include networking and mentoring, while others are implemented from a company perspective and are related to the creation of management styles that place people in the center. The crucial role that politics plays is also briefly discussed

Ionomer content optimization in nickel-iron-based anodes with and without ceria for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis

Hydrogen production from anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) is an efficient cost-effective solution to renewable energy storage. Contrary to proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis, AEMWE requires further optimization of its cell design, particularly for the kinetically unfavourable oxygen evolution anode half-cell reaction (OER). In this work we optimize the commercial Fumatech fumion ionomer content in AEMWE anodes using nickel (Ni) nanoparticles (NP) synthesized by chemical reduction. The optimal ionomer content is then applied to Ni-iron (Fe)-based NPs with and without ceria (CeO2), all prepared using the same method. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of the resulting electrode surfaces, Particle-size Distribution (PSD) of the catalyst inks, and in-situ testing of the monometallic Ni NPs show that the best and most active catalytic layer is obtained using 15 wt% ionomer. AEMWE performance and short-term durability are evaluated in different concentrations of potassium hydroxide (KOH), where the Ni90Fe10 is the best performing Ni-based electrode showing 1.72 V at 0.8 A cm−2 in 1 M KOH after IR-correction, and a degradation rate of 3.3 mV h−1. The addition of ceria to the Ni-based catalysts shows more consistent mass transfer over time likely due to more efficient water transport and bubble release.acceptedVersio

The Language of Ethics and Double Standards in the Affective and Sexual Socialization of Youth. Communicative Acts in the Family Environment as Protective or Risk Factors of Intimate Partner Violence

One of the explanatory factors for the perpetuation of intimate partner violence (IPV) is the socialization process. There is broad literature on the role of family in socializing gender roles and the influence on reproducing IPV. However, less research has been developed on the effects of communicative acts in the family environment as a protective or risk factor in front of IPV. This article presents sound evidence confirming the presence of language of ethics that is reproducing stereotyped models of attraction in heterosexual relationships, which empties good people of attractiveness and indirectly contributes to maintain the link between desire and aggressiveness. The language of ethics is characterized by integrating speech acts that exclusively include ethics and exclude desire when talking about egalitarian boys or men. To analyze this reality, a qualitative study has been conducted framed in the communicative methodology. This methodology has been recommended by the European Commission to conduct research on vulnerable groups and social inequalities, which has the aim to advance knowledge on social transformation. Drawing on this approach, three different data-collection techniques have been implemented: in-depth interviews, daily-life stories and focus groups. The fieldwork includes a sample of 52 young men and women between the ages of 18 and 23 from a vocational training high school, and 4 fathers and 4 mothers of some of these young people. The findings confirm the existence of a model of socialization that replicates family relations based on the maintenance of the double standards. Thus, mothers used to employ the language of ethics with their daughters fostering a controversial effect, that is, the latter prefer to start affective and sexual relationships with boys who are aggressive and not egalitarian. On the other hand, fathers used to employ language of desire with their sons stimulating the performance of chauvinist behaviors that denigrate women and girls

Morphology alteration of nickel microstructures for glycerol electrooxidation

Shape-controlled microstructures (triangles and urchin-like) of Ni were synthesized using polyol synthesis in the presence/absence of capping agent (polyvinilpyrrolidone, PVP). Direct visualization of crystal structure and morphology before/after electrochemical tests in KOH were characterized using electron microscopy techniques. Electrochemical characterizations illustrated that urchin-Ni-PVP has highest catalytic activity among all investigated electrocatalysts for glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GEOR). Improved activity was attributed to the surface area and the highly porous structure as identified by electron tomography analysis. All Ni shapes showed similar selectivity. DFT calculations on low-index β-NiOOH and β-Ni(OH) planes were performed as possible surfaces present during electrochemical processes. The (0 0 1) surface is the most thermodynamically stable in both systems and has different possible terminations. For O, Ni and mixed Ni-O atoms terminations the β-NiOOH(0 0 1) present metallic behavior. DFT results show that either Ni or Ni-O exposed β-NiOOH(0 0 1) surfaces are possible scenarios for glycerol adsorption on different catalytic charged surface sites.This paper was partially supported by grants of CONICET (Argentina National Research Council), Universidad Nacional del Sur (UNS) and by ANPCyT through PICT 4085, and PIP-CONICET Nos. 11220130100436 research grant, as well as by SGCyT- UNS., E.

Differentiation syndrome in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with all- trans retinoic acid and anthracycline chemotherapy: Characteristics, outcome, and prognostic factors

Differentiation syndrome (DS) can be a life-threatening complication in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) undergoing induction therapy with all- trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Detailed knowl- edge about DS has remained limited. We present an analysis of the incidence, char- acteristics, prognostic factors, and out- come of 739 APL patients treated with ATRA plus idarubicin in 2 consecutive trials (Programa Espanol de Tratamientos en Hematologíc [PETHEMA] LPA96 and LPA99). Overall, 183 patients (24.8%) ex- perienced DS, 93 with a severe form (12.6%) and 90 with a moderate form (12.2%). Severe but not moderate DS was associated with an increase in mortality. A bimodal incidence of DS was observed, with peaks occurring in the first and third weeks after the start of ATRA therapy. A multivariate analysis indicated that a WBC count greater than 5 x 109/L and an abnor- mal serum creatinine level correlated with an increased risk of developing severe DS. Patients receiving systematic pred- nisone prophylaxis (LPA99 trial) in con- trast to those receiving selective prophy- laxis with dexamethasone (LPA96 trial) had a lower incidence of severe DS. Pa- tients developing severe DS showed a reduced 7-year relapse-free survival in the LPA96 trial (60% vs 85%, P = .003), but this difference was not apparent in the LPA99 trial

Desactivant prejudicis: formació dels futurs i futures professionals per a l'atenció a la diversitat social i cultural.

La proposta presentada tenia com a objectiu afavorir que l'alumnat dels graus d'educació assoleixi competències transversals prioritzades per la Universitat de Barcelona (UB). Concretament, promoure el desenvolupament d'aptituds, coneixements i valors que contribuirien a l'adquisició d'un aprenentatge professionalitzador lliure de prejudicis i estereotips cap als grups vulnerables. Per tal de donar resposta a aquests objectius es posaren en pràctica estratègies, metodologies i actuacions docents innovadores en 8 assignatures de tres graus de la Facultat d'Educació de la UB (Mestre en Educació Infantil, Mestre en Educació Primària i Grau d'Educació Social). El disseny i implementació del projecte ha comptat amb la col∙laboració directa de persones que pertanyen a grups vulnerables. Les actuacions realitzades s'han inclòs activitats que han permès a l'alumnat realitzar processos de reflexió de la teoria a la pràctica i de la pràctica a la teoria. Entre les activitats planificades s'han inclòs: estudis de cas, xerrades impartides per persones de col∙lectius vulnerables i per professionals que han desenvolupat actuacions exitoses amb aquesta població i seminaris de lectura crítica d'articles científics relacionats amb la temàtica, entre d'altres. Les evidències sobre l'impacte del projecte, s'han obtingut mitjançant una avaluació orientada a identificar els canvis en les aptituds, coneixements i valors de l'alumnat participant en la iniciativa
