The Pedagogical Problem: Vygotsky’s Encounter with Marx’s Phenomenal Forms
2016
As advanced at the end of the previous chapter, the present one underscores the need to reassess Karl Marx’s contribution from the standpoint of pedagogy, in order for this field to come to terms with his sophisticated theory of the Erscheinungsformen or phenomenal forms. This analysis seems particularly pertinent in relation to the work of the early-Soviet scholar Lev Vygotsky, who allegedly deployed this concept in his own account of cognitive development in human beings. Indeed, despite the many educational fields that Marx’s work has impacted on—most obviously sociology of education, but also educational psychology, particularly thanks to the theoretical developments made by the author …
Worsening of pre-existing psychiatric conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic
2020
This study anonymously examined 2,734 psychiatric patients worldwide for worsening of their pre-existing psychiatric condition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Valid responses mainly from 12 featured countries indicated self-reported worsening of psychiatric conditions in 2/3rd of the patients assessed that was validated through their significantly higher scores on scales for general psychological disturbance, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Female gender, feeling no control of the situation and reporting dissatisfaction with the response of the state during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reduced interaction with family and friends increased the worsening of pre-existing psychiatri…
Mental Health Impact of COVID-19: A global study of risk and resilience factors
2020
AbstractThis study anonymously screened 13,332 individuals worldwide for psychological symptoms related to Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from March 29th to April 14th, 2020. A total of n=12,817 responses were considered valid with responses from 12 featured countries and five WHO regions. Female gender, pre-existing psychiatric condition, and prior exposure to trauma were identified as notable risk factors, whereas optimism, ability to share concerns with family and friends like usual, positive prediction about COVID-19, and daily exercise predicted fewer psychological symptoms. These results could aid in dynamic optimization of mental health services during and following CO…
Quality Analysis of YouTube Videos Presenting Pelvic Floor Exercises after Prostatectomy Surgery
2021
Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is a major cause of disease and mortality among men. Surgical treatment involving the removal of the prostate may result in temporary or permanent erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence (UI), with considerable impact on quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is one of the recommended techniques for the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of postoperative complications. The aim of this observational study was to assess the quality of YouTube videos—accessible to any patient—related to exercises after prostatectomy surgery. Methods: A systematic search was performed on YouTube on 24 September 2020. One hundred and fifty videos w…
The adult spinal cord harbors a population of GFAP-positive progenitors with limited self-renewal potential
2013
Adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) of the forebrain are GFAP-expressing cells that are intercalated within ependymal cells of the subventricular zone (SVZ). Cells showing NSCs characteristics in vitro can also be isolated from the periaqueductal region in the adult spinal cord (SC), but contradicting results exist concerning their glial versus ependymal identity. We used an induci- ble transgenic mouse line (hGFAP-CreERT2) to conditionally label GFAP-expressing cells in the adult SVZ and SC periaque- duct, and directly and systematically compared their self-renewal and multipotential properties in vitro. We demonstrate that a population of GFAP1 cells that share the morphology and the antigeni…
Panorámica de la desigualdad digital en España: operacionalización y dimensionamiento de las brechas digitales de accesibilidad, habilidades y formas…
2019
En este artículo, se realiza un análisis estadístico de la desigualdad digital en España a partir de una operacionalización de las tres brechas digitales más relevantes: (1) accesibilidad a los dispositivos TIC; (2) competencias y habilidades digitales; y (3) prácticas digitales y formas diferenciales de uso. La metodología es cuantitativa, basada en la última oleada (2018) de la encuesta sobre equipamientos tecnológicos en el hogar del INE (TIC-H), a partir de la cual se ha desarrollado un análisis comparativo por género, edad, nivel de estudios, situación laboral y tipo de hábitat residencial. Los resultados muestran cómo la desigualdad de acceso tiene actualmente más que ver con las moda…
Las formas cotidianas de la felicidad y sus mandatos: Pedagogías del pensamiento positivo, trabajo docente y subjetividad en el neoliberalismo contem…
2020
Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…
El Pacte Valencià contra la Violència de Gènere i Masclista com a model de participació social en les polítiques públiques
2020
En aquest article es presenta un exemple de bona pràctica en el disseny de les polítiques públiques a través de la participació ciutadana i dels agents socials, duta a terme per la Vicepresidència i Conselleria d’Igualtat i Polítiques Inclusives de la Generalitat Valenciana amb l’elaboració del Pacte Valencià contra la Violència de Gènere i Masclista de la Comunitat Valenciana (2017). Per descriure’n l’elaboració, primerament es presenta un marc teòric per abordar els nous models de governança conjuntament amb el paper del treball social en l’elaboració de polítiques públiques. Seguidament, es fa una anàlisi estadística sobre el punt de partida del País Valencià en matèria de violència de g…

L'inévitable aliénation? La division du travail en Grande-Bretagne à l'aube de la révolution industrielle
2002
Adam Smith, dans ses Recherches sur la nature et les causes de la richesse des nations, attire l'attention sur le caractère inévitable de la division du travail et ses aspects positifs pour l'économie. Il reconnaît aussi les aspects négatifs de cette division du travail pour l'individu forcé de s'y conformer. Après un rappel de la position de Smith, nous verrons en seconde partie comment les médecins, en particulier William Buchan, ont perçu les inconvénients physiques de la grande industrie qui se met en place en Grande-Bretagne dans le dernier tiers du dix-huitième siècle. Enfin, nous étudierons le combat mené par William Godwin, auteur radical et pré-anarchiste, contre cette division ali…
