De l'égalité formelle aux usages réels : déterminants et effets du suivi des MOOC dans les trajectoires socio-professionnelles

2018

Education and vocational training are central institutions in today’s society. They play an important role in guaranteeing people’s social and professional integration. They are also considered strategic pillars of economic growth in “the knowledge society” (CE, 2000). However, despite their basis in democratic values and principles, there are still many inequalities in access and outcomes in both compulsory academic and vocational education. Moreover, because of the increasing flexibility and insecurity of work in the current labor market, a diploma is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for stable employment. In this context, the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) raises qu…

Análisis de la realidad sociolingüística del valenciano

2011

Se analiza la situación actual del uso y la percepción social del valenciano entre los habitantes del País Valenciano a partir de los estudios realizados por el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas. Para ello, se presta especial atención a variables sociodemográficas a partir de análisis estadístico multivariante con distribuciones de frecuencias bivariadas, análisis de segmentación y regresión logística. El estudio concluye que se produce un estancamiento en el porcentaje de hablantes del valenciano y que las personas de izquierdas y con mayor nivel de estudios son quienes se postulan más a favor de la unidad del valenciano con el catalán. Palabras clave: sociolingüística; diglosia; esta…

What keeps young adults in permanent poverty? A comparative analysis using ECHP

2009

Abstract Previous studies suggest that there are strong differences in the rates of youth poverty across European countries. Rather surprisingly, it is found to be high in Scandinavian countries, and relatively speaking, lower in Mediterranean and Anglo-Saxon countries. This somewhat unexpected finding prompts the question whether the incidence of poverty is an appropriate measure of youth disadvantage. Instead of considering poverty rates we consider the length of recorded poverty spells, taking into account explicitly the temporal sequencing of the episodes of poverty. Using the European Community Household Panel, individuals are classified into different groups of poverty permanence, eac…

Crisis, educación y precariedad-afluencia. El rol de la educación en las condiciones de vida de la población española

2016

El objeto de este artículo es estudiar la influencia del nivel educativo (capital cultural) en los procesos de precariedad-afluencia de la población española entre los años posteriores a la crisis de inicio de la década de 1990 y los años más duros de la crisis de 2007. A partir de los datos de las encuestas PHOGUE y ECV del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) se han construido cuatro indicadores para medir la precariedad laboral, de ingresos, de salud y de vivienda y su distribución según distintas variables demográficas. Se pretende contrastar la hipótesis de que más educación significa más protección frente a la precariedad, estudiando diferentes condiciones de las condiciones de vid…

Against cyber-utopianism. Utopian discourse "versus" sociological analysis of the transition to the digital paradigm of the cultural sphere

2015

La cultura ha dejado de ser la esfera social que iluminaba la modernidad. A pesar de su mayor centralidad social y económica propia de la sociedad postfordista, las transformaciones económicas y tecnológicas de los últimos años están cuestionando su propia existencia como esfera autónoma. En este contexto, el discurso ciberutopismo hace una lectura totalmente positiva de estas transformaciones como un empoderamiento del consumidor o del surgimientos de nuevas cadenas de cooperación creativa. Frente a este discurso ideológicamente cargado, es necesaria una ruptura epistemológica y una construcción de un programa de investigación desde la sociología de las artes y la cultura, que evalúe de fo…

Promoting neoliberal ideology in Finnish rural community development : the creation of new moral actors

2019

Today’s political ambitions are based on the neoliberal aspiration to diminish the state’s role and responsibilities, and to transfer those responsibilities to local communities and individuals in ways that idealise those communities, promising to ‘give power to the people’. Instead of highlighting individualism, neoliberalism now celebrates communities and participation. This article deals with the effects of this ideology with regard to Finnish rural policy objectives. Drawing on Finnish village action programmes as data, we argue that these ideological views aim to transform individuals and create new moral actors. Our research indicates that Finland’s rural policy objectives invoke acto…

Placing resilience in context: Investigating the changing experiences of Finnish organic farmers

2018

Understanding how farmers are resilient is critical for effective government and individual\ud management responses in an increasingly uncertain world. Through an inter-temporal focus on\ud Finnish organic farmers, we explore changing identities, attitudes and practices, and reflect on\ud ramifications for farming resilience. Despite the essentialising binaries perpetuated by discussions of\ud conventionalisation and bifurcation in the organic movement, organic production systems are, and\ud always have been, heterogeneous. This paper offers a nuanced analysis of the fluctuating and mixed\ud practices and identities that compose the sector. Considering the experiences of both ‘pioneer’ and\…

Two-year retrospective analysis of the international impact of Journal of Optometry: part II

2011

The Journal of Optometry – Peer-reviewed Journal of the Spanish General Council of Optometrists- was launched in March 2008 publishing the first issue by September 2008. It is now reaching 2.5 years of activity in spreading clinical and scientific knowledge in the field of Optometry and Visual Science and related areas. Despite this short path within the international scientific publication scenario, it is appropriate to stop and reflect about the challenges, achievements and the numbers that are making J Optom a reference in this competitive area. In this editorial we will discuss the steps followed to setup the journal and the actual international impact in terms of audience from the read…
