Critical educational praxis in university ecosystems: enablers and constraints
2018
Universities serve several important functions in society today through research, education, and community engagement, not least helping people to live meaningfully in society, and helping to create a world worth living in. A kind of practice that seems particularly important in fulfilling such responsibilities is critical educational praxis, a social-justice oriented, educational practice/praxis, with a focus on asking critical questions and creating conditions for positive change. Yet, the contemporary university is not exactly a niche for critical educational praxis. There are many practices and arrangements within higher education that make the enactment of critical educational praxis v…
: Looking through the gaps of the digital divide in Higher education
2007
A partir de una muestra de 719 estudiantes de la Universidad de Chile en 2004, este artículo analiza las diferencias existentes respecto de capitales culturales materiales e incorporados relacionados con el acceso y uso de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación (NTICs). Bajo diferentes métodos de análisis cuantitativo se pone de manifiesto la existencia de niveles de brecha digital para tales herramientas, brecha que estaría relacionada especialmente al género pero también a la condición socioeconómica. Esta última variable, aunque presente, muestra efectos más bien indirectos no pareciendo influir en las actitudes y disposiciones de los estudiantes respecto al uso de las N…
The culture in the era of clutural capitlaism: Trends and Controversies
2014
[EN] This article offers a reflection on the way in which the evolution of capitalism towards a cultural capitalism phase is propitiating the emergence of a new regime of production and reception of cultural products. To approach this task it is examined one of the most clearly observable trends in the evolution that western societies have experienced in the past decades, that is, the transformation of the market in the general pattern of the social activities and the entrance of capitalist patterns in the cultural sphere. The article finishes with a critical analysis of the most frequently consequences attributed to the evolution of capitalism in the cultural domain: the degradation of the…
EL PATRIMONIO CULTURAL Y EL PAISAJE DE LA PROVINCIA DE VALENCIA COMO CAPITAL TERRITORIAL / / / \ \ \ THE CULTURAL HERITAGE AND LANDSCAPE OF THE PROVI…
2020
Resumen. La provincia de Valencia como sistema territorial cuenta con diversos componentes de tipo ambiental y cultural que se articulan, dándole estructura, y que influyen en las alternativas de progreso. Dichas piezas del sistema territorial configuran el paisaje provincial y muchas de ellas, además, son consideradas como patrimonio cultural. Patrimonio y paisaje intervienen en la creación de identidades colectivas, así como en los procesos de desarrollo territorial, cuestión sobre la que nos centramos en este artículo.
 
 Palabras clave: capital territorial, recurso, patrimonio cultural, paisaje, desarrollo local, provincia de Valencia.

PASSING IDENTITY AND ETHNIC CULTURE IN LATVIAN EMIGRANT FAMILIES
2021
The paper discusses the problem of preserving native Latvian language and the transfer of cultural identity in Latvian diaspora. One of the central tasks for Latvia’s diaspora policy is to support preservation of Latvian language and culture in diaspora with the aim of strengthening the Latvian identity and the sense of belonging to Latvia. Support is provided to diaspora schools for preserving Latvian language, culture and identity outside of Latvia. However, for children not to lose their Latvian language skills it is important that the language is used also in the family.This paper uses a combination of a quantitative survey and in-depth interviews with the parents of children in diaspor…
Discourses of Europeanness in the reception of the European Capital of Culture events: The case of Pécs 2010
2012
Europeanness has been determined in various ways in academic, political and everyday discussions. The concept has become profoundly current in European Union (EU) policy during the past few decades: the EU is paying more and more interest in creating cultural coherence in Europe. The EU has various cultural instruments, such as the European Capital of Culture programme (ECOC), which aim to produce and strengthen Europeanness and cultural identification with Europe among its citizens. The ECOC programme creates an ideological frame for an urban cultural event: the frame directs the reception and experiences of the festivals, exhibitions and performances in the ECOC. Pécs – a city in souther…

Propagation of three thymus species by stem cuttings
2006
Many herbs native to the Mediterranean region are grown for ornamental purposes and represent an important segment of the bedding plant industry. Although the majority of Thymus species are used as officinal plants, some of them are also used as ornamental bedding plants to provide aesthetic enhancement of public and private garden beds, porches, patios, balconies. The aim of this research was to study the vegetative propagation of T. capitatus, T. serpyllum and T. vulgaris. To verify the rooting response to exogenous application of auxin, softwood cuttings were either treated with a 500 ppm 1H-indol-3-butyric acid (IBA) solution, or not treated (control). Propagation was performed in an un…
Cyclodextrins in capillary electrophoresis: Recent developments and new trends
2014
Despite the fact that extensive research in the field of separations by capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been carried out and many reviews have been published in the last years, a specific review on the use and future potential of cyclodextrins (CDs) in CE is not available. This review focuses the attention in the CD-CE topic over the January 2013-February 2014 period (not covered by previous more general CE-reviews). Recent contributions (reviews and research articles) including practical uses (e.g. solute-CD binding constant estimation and further potentials; 19% of publications), developments and applications (mainly chiral and achiral analysis; 38 and 24% of publications, respectively…
Fast-multivariate optimization of chiral separations in capillary electrophoresis: Anticipative strategies
2014
Abstract The design of experiments (DOE) is a good option for rationally limiting the number of experiments required to achieve the enantioresolution (Rs) of a chiral compound in capillary electrophoresis. In some cases, the modeled Rs after DOE analysis can be unsatisfactory, maybe because the range of the explored factors (DOE domain) was not the adequate. In these cases, anticipative strategies can be an alternative to the repetition of the process (e.g. a new DOE), to save time and money. In this work, multiple linear regression (MLR)-steepest ascent and a new anticipative strategy based on a multiple response-partial least squares model (called PLS2-prediction) are examined as post-DOE…
