Robotic transanal total mesorectal excision: Is the future now?

2021

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard surgical treatment for the curative radical resection of rectal cancers. Minimally invasive TME has been gaining ground favored by the continuous technological advancements. New procedures, such as transanal TME (TaTME), have been introduced to overcome some technical limitations, especially in low rectal tumors, obese patients, and/or narrow pelvis. The earliest TaTME reports showed promising results when compared with the conventional laparoscopic TME. However, recent publications raised concerns regarding the high rates of anastomotic leaks or local recurrences observed in national series. Robotic TaTME (R-TaTME) has been proposed as a nove…

Can Emotional Competence Be Taught in Higher Education? A Randomized Experimental Study of an Emotional Intelligence Training Program Using a Multime…

2018

Since the introduction of the Bologna Process, the goal of education has been not only to acquire technical skills but also to master other skills, such as teamwork, effective communication skills, time optimization, and the ability to manage one's emotions. The present work describes a program to develop emotional intelligence in higher education, the “Emotional Intelligence Training Program,” with a multimethodological approach that offers the opportunity for university students to develop their emotional intelligence. A total of 192 higher education students participated in this educational experience. Of the participants, 66% were women, and 34% were men; the average age of the sample w…

Expanding Capabilities for Epistemic Justice Through Social Innovation: The Case of Business and Management Courses in UNIMINUTO, Colombia

2020

The chapter addresses the consideration and development of students’ competencies for social innovation in higher education by generating spaces of engagement with local communities. We combine concepts from the capability approach and epistemic injustice to address this topic and ask these specific questions: which epistemic capabilities can be generated in students when engaging with local communities in fostering social innovation processes, and how? And, how are these processes contributing to challenging epistemic injustice? To address these questions, we propose an original framework connecting ideas from Sen and Fricker and address the specific case of six pilot courses in UNIMINUTO …

Fostering general and specific competences through online language learning materials

2011

This paper addresses how general and specific competences are dealt with and fostered through the Online First Certificate Course and Tester, designed by the CAMILLE Research Group in Spain. The debate and research on the role of competences is an ongoing issue within the field of higher education. Moreover, the new framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has made it more visible and has contributed towards designing and implementing new educational curricula based on a competence-based approach.

The Role of Curriculum Theory in Contemporary Higher Education Research and Practice

2017

In the light of recent debates on the possible issues in curriculum studies, formulated particularly in the field of sociology of education, this chapter discusses the role and the importance of curriculum theories in higher education. Focusing on the historical and the conceptual roots of curriculum theory approaches, the argument is that the dispute and the separation between normative and critical roles of curriculum theories are important to overcome in today’s competency-based and outcome-focused context of higher education. Basil Bernstein’s ideas on the vital role of knowledge are discussed in relation to the origins of the so-called crisis in curriculum theories. It is suggested tha…

Entrando in città dopo la distruzione: Ermocrate e i proasteia di Himera

2023

Prendendo spunto dal testo di Diodoro, che cita i proasteia di Himera, dove Ermocrate si accampò dopo la distruzione della città nel 409 a.C., si prende in esame il “quartiere portuale” al di là del fiume, analizzando le caratteristiche insediative e le funzioni degli edifici, come sono state delineate dagli scavatori alcuni anni fa. Si giunge alla conclusione che il “quartiere” sia interpretabile come un proasteion ateichiston, una vera e propria proiezione dell’abitato fuori le mura, con valenze più complesse di un semplice sobborgo commerciale. Il confronto con i proasteia di Siracusa permette di delineare la complessità delle motivazioni che giustificano la proiezione delle città oltre …

Anthropology as a natural science

1978

On the basis of materials collected by the research project System Analysis of Anthropology (SAA) the author discusses problems of the structure and relationships of biological anthropology. o (1) In the eastern, southeastern and southern European countries anthropology is strictly defined as natural science (source: conversation lexicons); also in Germany and some neighbouring countries other anthropologies, particularly the philosophical one, exist and have increased in recent years; a third group is represented by the Anglo-Saxon anthropology which comprises social and cultural as well as physical (Figure 1). The proportion of physical anthropological papers in anthropological periodical…

Representaciones y prácticas docentes en torno a la dictadura de Franco

2021

En este artículo llevamos a cabo un estudio de caso centrado en 5 docentes españoles en relación con el tratamiento educativo que llevan a cabo de la dictadura franquista. Se parte de una contextualización general acerca del periodo histórico de la dictadura de Franco (1936-39 y 1975-78), tema social y políticamente candente que tiene su correlato a nivel educativo al estar presente en el currículo de la educación secundaria y bachillerato. Esta investigación pone el foco en el profesorado, que traduce en el contexto del aula una serie de ideas y representaciones sobre la dictadura, algo que está condicionado por su nivel formativo, el contexto sociopolítico actual y la concreción curricula…
