LAS PELÍCULAS DE ANIMACIÓN INFANTIL EN LA ACTUALIDAD:
2019

 En las propuestas actuales de animación infantil se detecta cierto peso de los personajes masculinos en la formación de las protagonistas. La presente aportación se pregunta en qué medida ello se produce como modelo contrapuesto a los roles femeninos. Del análisis de la película de Disney Tiana y el sapo se concluye que la figura paterna se erige como ejemplar en contraposición a la de la madre, pero también a la del resto de personajes masculinos, cuyo modelo de conducta se rechaza explícitamente, en especial el príncipe Naveen. Ambos polos cumplen un papel fundamental en la conformación y confirmación de la personalidad de la protagonista, si bien llaman la atención los ejemplos an…
El derecho a morir dignamente: una oportunidad para el impulso ético del Trabajo Social
2021
La creciente importancia de las enfermedades crónicas como causa de muerte y la atención que actualmente se presta al final de la vida han creado interés en el papel de las disciplinas sociosanitarias en el momento y el modo de muerte. En la actualidad, pocos países han legalizado o despenalizado la eutanasia y el suicidio asistido. Este artículo realiza una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de conocer los aspectos éticos y jurídicos que envuelven el derecho a morir dignamente, el suicidio asistido y la eutanasia en los países donde se han regulado estas prácticas, así como su vinculación con los principios éticos inherentes al Trabajo Social. Los resultados muestran que estas prácticas de…

All factors are considered according to victim nationality, in this case Romanian and Nigerian, including the vulnerable factors created by the criminal groups. In this chapter, the difference of citizenship between Nigerian women, who are third-country nationals, and Romanian women, w…

Online social networks offer customers the possibility to bring attention to issues they believe need to be addresses by organisations. Added to this, e-reputation plays a pivotal role in determining a company's competitive advantage. This paper studies the role of e-communications in an organisation's strategy and how analytics and modelling techniques are used to take advantage of the digital media content. It discusses the historical reputational …
Norway-Russia disaster diplomacy for Svalbard
2020
Abstract The Arctic is frequently framed as a region of disaster and conflict, as well as of opportunity and cooperation. Disaster diplomacy is one approach for examining how dealing with disasters might or might not affect conflict and cooperation, yet little work on Arctic disaster diplomacy has been completed, especially regarding specific bilateral relations. This paper contributes to filling in this gap by focusing on the post-USSR era to provide the first examination of the prospects and relevance of Norway-Russia disaster-related interaction for the Svalbard archipelago. As a discussion paper focusing on one case study, Norway-Russia disaster diplomacy is analysed in the context of S…
RELEVANCE OF INDICATORS OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH IN DIFFERENT SAMPLES OF ADOLESCENCE
2021
The aim of this research was to determine whether there are statistically relevant differences in Michael J. Furlong's concept of socio-emotional health with meta construct Covitality (SEV factor) between teenage and youth selections, gender, and nationalities in different schools. The participants of the research were 593 respondents from Latvia, aged 11-19 years. Out of the total selection of participants (N=593) there were 318 teens (M=13.01, SD=.84), of them 151 boys and 167 girls; the other group of 274 young people (M=15.85, SD = 1.02), consisted of 132 males and 142 females. To measure the positive aspects of the mental health, A Socio-emotional Health Survey was used (Social Emotion…
Project Education and Adams’ Theory of Equity
2020
This work-in-progress paper in research category is concerned with students’ perceptions of justice in software engineering group projects. Taking a directed content analysis approach, the aim is to analyze the relevance of Adams’ theory of Equity for small-group project education. The analysis was applied to the data collected from a third-year project course in which students encounter an open-ended group assignment. The results indicate that the theory can serve as a useful framework that helps teachers to identify justice-related issues in project courses. On the other hand, it was concluded that special carefulness is advisable considering the simplicity of the theory. peerReviewed
Standardised functional assessment in long-term care for older people: perspective of Finnish care workers
2021
Objective measures and documentation are increasingly used in the care for older people to promote efficiency and productivity. A standardised assessment of functional capacity is one such measure. In this study, we examined the meanings given to standardised functional assessment by care workers who provide long-term care for older people. Gathered from eight Finnish long-term care facilities, the data consisted of one-on-one interviews with practical and registered nurses (n = 24). In the data analysis, we employed the discursive approach. We identified three discourses in the care workers’ talks that differed in the meaning given to standardised functional assessment in the process of ca…
The Relevance of Flow Cytometry for Biochemical Analysis
2001
Flow cytometry (FCM) allows the simultaneous measurement of multiple fluorescences and light scatter induced by illumination of single cells or microscopic particles in suspension, as they flow rapidly through a sensing area. In some systems, individual cells or particles may be sorted according to the properties exhibited. By using appropriate fluorescent markers, FCM is unique in that multiple structural and functional parameters can be quantified simultaneously on a single-particle basis, whereas up to thousands of biological particles per second may be examined. FCM is increasingly used for basic, clinical, biotechnological, and environmental studies of biochemical relevance. In this cr…
ECTRIMS/EAN guideline on the pharmacological treatment of people with multiple sclerosis.
2018
Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease of the central nervous system. As new drugs are becoming available, knowledge on diagnosis and treatment must continuously evolve. There is therefore a need for a reference tool compiling current data on benefit and safety, to aid professionals in treatment decisions and use of resources across Europe. The European Committee of Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) and the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) have joined forces to meet this need. The objective was to develop an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the pharmacological treatment of people with MS to guide healthcare professionals in…
