Límites y posibilidades de las políticas institucionales inclusivas en las universidades del conurbano bonaerense. Explorando caminos nuevos
2019
Este trabajo se inscribe en una línea de investigación que explora las políticas institucionales que llevan a cabo las universidades argentinaspara favorecer el acceso, la permanencia y el rendimiento académico del estudiantado. Particularmente, se concentra en las universidadespúblicas del conurbano bonaerense (Provincia de Buenos Aires), que atienden a una población estudiantil proveniente de sectores de bajosingresos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar, describir y analizar algunas políticas institucionales en dos ámbitos: uno, centradoen aquellas políticas que están orientadas a contribuir al sostenimiento económico de las y los ingresantes ?a través de becas, y de libros y…
Historia de las madres en occidente: repensar la maternidad
2005
El objetivo del presente trabajo es profundizar sobre la historia de la concepción de la maternidad, enmarcándola como un proceso evolutivo y vital propio del desarrollo psicobiológico humano, pero con características diferentes en cada etapa histórica. Ser madre en la especie humana excede el hecho biológico y tiene un significado a nivel social, cultural, histórico y psicológico. Dos fenómenos han influído fuertemente a partir de la segunda mitad del Siglo XX - en la historia de la maternidad: los estados de bienestar,-especialmente en los países desarrollados- y el crecimiento de las ciencias biológicas en relación a la posibilidad a planificar los nacimientos. La maternidad recorre el c…
Competencias argumentativas en la alfabetización académica
2011
Este trabajo se enmarca en las numerosas investigaciones sobre escritura académica que vienen desarrollándose en diversos países. Dentro de ellas, buscamos articular líneas de investigación que se ocupan de la alfabetización académica, de los géneros académicos y del papel de la argumentación en los mismos. Para ello, implementamos desde 2005 un programa de alfabetización académica en una asignatura de Humanidades de una universidad argentina, cuyo tramo final es la elaboración y exposición de ponencias grupales, entendidas como construcciones argumentativas que ponen en consideración resultados de investigación. En relación con éstas, este trabajo presenta resultados, en torno a la relació…
Validación del Autoconcepto Forma 5 en Universitarios Peruanos: Una Herramienta para la Psicología Positiva
2015
ResumenEl autoconcepto, aunque central en la psicología tradicional, ha cobrado importancia recientemente en el contexto de la psicología positiva. El Autoconcepto Forma 5 (AF5) es una medida muy utilizada en el contexto hispanohablante. Sin embargo, no existen estudios sobre sus propiedades psicométricas más allá de la fiabilidad en población peruana. El objetivo es presentar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala multidimensional AF5 en universitarios peruanos. Se recogió una muestra de 527 estudiantes universitarios. La encuesta incluyó, además del AF5, medidas de esperanza disposicional y satisfacción con la vida. Se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial confirmatorio para evaluar la v…
Spin filtering by proximity effects at hybridized interfaces in spin-valves with 2D graphene barriers
2020
We report on spin transport in state-of-the-art epitaxial monolayer graphene based 2D-magnetic tunnel junctions (2D-MTJs). In our measurements, supported by ab-initio calculations, the strength of interaction between ferromagnetic electrodes and graphene monolayers is shown to fundamentally control the resulting spin signal. In particular, by switching the graphene/ferromagnet interaction, spin transport reveals magneto-resistance signal MR > 80% in junctions with low resistance × area products. Descriptions based only on a simple K-point filtering picture (i.e. MR increase with the number of layers) are not sufficient to predict the behavior of our devices. We emphasize that hybridization …
The influence of decision-making in tree ring-based climate reconstructions.
2021
Tree-ring chronologies underpin the majority of annually-resolved reconstructions of Common Era climate. However, they are derived using different datasets and techniques, the ramifications of which have hitherto been little explored. Here, we report the results of a double-blind experiment that yielded 15 Northern Hemisphere summer temperature reconstructions from a common network of regional tree-ring width datasets. Taken together as an ensemble, the Common Era reconstruction mean correlates with instrumental temperatures from 1794–2016 CE at 0.79 (p < 0.001), reveals summer cooling in the years following large volcanic eruptions, and exhibits strong warming since the 1980s. Differing in…
Cryo-EM structure of ssDNA bacteriophage ΦCjT23 provides insight into early virus evolution.
2022
AbstractThe origin of viruses remains an open question. While lack of detectable sequence similarity hampers the analysis of distantly related viruses, structural biology investigations of conserved capsid protein structures facilitate the study of distant evolutionary relationships. Here we characterize the lipid-containing ssDNA temperate bacteriophage ΦCjT23, which infects Flavobacterium sp. (Bacteroidetes). We report ΦCjT23-like sequences in the genome of strains belonging to several Flavobacterium species. The virion structure determined by cryogenic electron microscopy reveals similarities to members of the viral kingdom Bamfordvirae that currently consists solely of dsDNA viruses wit…
Association between cooking fuels and mild cognitive impairment among older adults from six low- and middle-income countries
2022
AbstractThere is a small body of evidence suggesting that unclean cooking fuel use may be associated with cognitive decline. However, to date, no study has investigated the association between unclean cooking fuel and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Thus, we investigated the association between cooking fuel type or ventilation type and MCI among adults aged ≥ 65 years using nationally representative datasets from six low- and middle-income countries. Cross-sectional, community-based data from the World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global Ageing and adult health (SAGE) were analyzed. MCI was defined using the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association criteria. Unclean cookin…
The Importance of Empowerment in Entrepreneurship
2017
Empowerment comes at a time when global competition and change require people to take initiative and be innovative. Based on the active, persistent, and change-oriented behaviors associated with psychological empowerment, the chapter states that empowerment can contribute to entrepreneurship. The dimensions of empowerment that suggest a theoretical and empirical link with entrepreneurial behavior are discussed. Several propositions regarding the interplay between empowerment and entrepreneurship are formulated. The chapter describes paths to promote empowerment and entrepreneurship in applied context and suggests future directions to advance research on empowerment in the field of entrepren…
Happy and proactive ?:The role of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in business owners’ personal initiative
2012
This two-year study with 122 business owners examined the link between affective well-being and task-oriented as well as relationship-oriented personal initiative (PI). We tested two complementary models explaining the link between well-being and PI: (1) broaden-and-build theory and (2) self-regulation as limited resource approach. In line with current research on well-being, we differentiated between hedonic and eudaimonic well-being using life satisfaction and vigor as indicators. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that only vigor predicted both forms of PI. Our results support the self-regulation approach and indicate that eudaimonic well-being is the relevant affective well-being d…
