Drivers and Social Implications of Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Healthcare during the COVID-19 Pandemic
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact people worldwide–steadily depleting scarce resources in healthcare. Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises a much-needed relief but only if the technology gets adopted at scale. The present research investigates people’s intention to adopt medical AI as well as the drivers of this adoption in a representative study of two European countries (Denmark and France,N= 1068) during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results reveal AI aversion; only 1 of 10 individuals choose medical AI over human physicians in a hypothetical triage-phase of COVID-19 pre-hospital entrance. Key predictors of medical AI adoption are people’s trust in medical …
Belonging and Home
2021
AbstractIn this chapter, the authors discuss artifacts in which children explore belonging and home. The chapter defines the sense of belonging as a core feature of humanity and living together. The feeling of having a home and being at home is both an intimate and a socially shared aspect of belonging. The children expressed belonging to a wide range of spaces in their artifacts. This spatial span extends from macro to micro scale and indicates belonging based on spaces, social relations, and materiality. Even very young children can see and depict their belonging as multiple and including spatial and social dimensions. The analyzed artifacts reveal both concrete and symbolic approaches to…

The international crime of sexual slavery and the practice of «forced marriages»
2015
The crime of sexual slavery is the international crime of sexual nature that, both as a crime against humanity and as a war crime, most difficulties is causing for its determination by international tribunals. This paper is devoted to the study of the international jurisprudence established by the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the International Criminal Court on the crime of sexual slavery and, in particular, on the practice of the so-called «forced marriages».
Progreso, complejidad y evolución
2020
Ensayos en honor de Eloy Rada. [ES]: El progreso biológico es un tema ampliamente debatido en biología evolutiva que tiene partidarios y detractores. Sin embargo, no es una cuestión, a pesar de su importancia, de la que podamos afirmar que está resuelta desde el punto de vista científico. En este trabajo presento un análisis del concepto basado en la teoría de la evolución por selección natural, sus paralelismos con el también debatido concepto de “progreso” en la historia de la humanidad y, finalmente, se intenta orientarlo hacia formas accesibles a la investigación científica. Para ello, en lugar del concepto de progreso, recurro al de “complejidad biológica”. Si tenemos formas de medirla…
¿Un transhumanismo nietzscheano? Sobre la parcialidad del alegato
2020
espanolEl articulo analiza desde una perspectiva critica las tentativas de interpretar a Nietzsche como un precursor del transhumanismo. Tras una breve contextualizacion del fecundo debate en torno a Nietzsche y el transhumanismo, se evalua el caracter fraccional o parcial del alegato de Stefan Sorgner en favor de un “transhumanismo nietzscheano”. Despues, se investiga la tension entre humanidad, la superacion del ser humano y su cria en los escritos de Nietzsche. Una vez ejecutado este analisis, y sin animo de caer en el anacronismo, se sostiene que Nietzsche anticipa ciertamente un germen de la idea de post-humanidad, en su critica de la cultura humanista y en su invitacion a transformar …
The visual principle and the correlation between teaching of the Catholic religion and art education in Polish school
2017
Contemporary culture – as already noted – is becoming more and more visual. Contemporary catechesis, referring to its rich, centuries-long experience, should also use different types of images. The first part of this article presents the visual principle as one of basic educating principles, and the second part presents the correlation between the teaching of Catholic religion, and art education in Polish schools. One specific example of using religious painting are in textbooks. Masterpieces of painting, created during centuries and expressing particular desires of their creators, still remain an important inspiration, among others, to the religious search. Faith, though strongly anchored …
STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF TEACHER COMPETENCIES

By analysing theoretical literature, the articl…
Retrato de la Justicia desde el pensamiento dialógico feminista. ¿Por fin ruptura del petrificado discurso androcéntrico? (Portrait of Justice from a…
2019
Spanish Abstract: La Historia nos ha venido mostrando la construccion de unas sociedades, diversas, evolutivas, institucionalizadas, con mayor o menor rigor, pero con un orden establecido por hombres. Un orden disenado, reelaborado, destruido y posteriormente conquistado, por quienes se han venido beneficiando de el; un orden pensado por y para hombres. Esa realidad es indubitada. Como innegable es tambien que las grandes ideas, los grandes logros de la sociedad, especialmente en la Modernidad, fueron desarrolladas y desarrollados sin las mujeres, y en ocasiones a su costa. La familia, el bienestar, el desarrollo economico, la religion, la justicia y la democracia, y otros muchos mojones qu…
El enclave de la educación desde el enfoque de la hermenéutica crítica
2018
En este trabajo adoptamos una postura crítica, en primer lugar, ante un planteamiento que desde la investigación empírica pretende explicar los fines propios de la educación. Frente a éste proponemos la metodología hermenéutico-crítica para desentrañar cuáles son los fines últimos de la educación. Descubrimos que desde la metodología hermenéutico-crítica es posible enfocar adecuadamente el fin de la educación así como aportar una justificación ética solvente. Profundizando en la dimensión crítica de la hermenéutica, pero sin desvincularla de su quicio experiencial, reparamos en que no basta con interpretar los valores establecidos por la sociedad, sino que es necesario ahondar en el radical…
