Fortalezas y debilidades de la mediación escolar desde la perspectiva del alumnado de educación secundaria

2016

In this paper we present a study to know the valuation of school mediation as an educational strategy taking into account the views of students in five schools in secondary Valencia, where the formal mediation process has been active for at least two years. It also seeks to identify the strengths and weaknesses identified.To achieve the objectives it has collected information from 593 students through an ad hoc difference between issues that all students must answer questionnaire; questions addressed only the students who have gone to mediation service; and finally issues to respond only the students who have acted as mediators.Through descriptive exploratory study conducted, is highlighted…

Volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs: A multilevel analysis in 10 European countries

2020

Regular voluntary engagement is a basic resource for sports clubs that may also promote social cohesion and active citizenship. The satisfaction of volunteers is an imperative factor in this engagement, and the purpose of this article is to explore individual and organizational determinants of volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs. Theoretically, our study builds on the actor-theory concepts where volunteer satisfaction depends on subjective evaluations of expectations and experiences in a sports club (‘logic of situation’), so that positive evaluations lead to higher satisfaction and, hopefully, retention of volunteers. This research uses a sample of 8131 volunteers from 642 sports clubs…

National identity and Europeanization in post-communist Romania. The meaning of citizenship in Sibiu: European Capital of Culture 2007

2008

The structure of the requirements for citizenship in a Romanian city differs by and large from the structure of the same requirements in other European cities. The peculiarity lies in the lack of distinctiveness between the origin, the ethnic aspect and the civic aspect of citizenship and also in the emphasis on the language requirements for citizenship. The explanations could be traced back to the previous century and to the cultural and political project of state and nation-building. But the importance assigned to the national identity and national sovereignty issues in Romania may affect the European integration by hindering the feelings of European belonging and solidarity.

Real Humans?: <i>Affective imaginaries of the human and its Others in the Swedish TV series Äkta människor</i>

2019

According to the Swedish science fiction TV series Akta manniskor (Real Humans, SVT and Matador film 2012-2014), humanoid robots called “hubots” are replacing the human workforce in care work and assembly line industries. Against the backdrop of current debates about immigration and citizenship in the Nordic countries, this article does a close, contextual reading of the series, exploring how the hubots influence work and family life. We are particularly interested in how hubots tie in with the cultural circulation of affect in relation to Otherness and how responses towards the “not-quite” human or dehumanized Other are negotiated in present-day Nordic cultural imaginaries. What kinds of a…

Childhood: A Journal of Global Child Research

2016

Childhood: A Journal of Global Child Research is a major international peer-reviewed journal and a forum for research relating to children in global society that spans divisions between geographical regions, disciplines, and social and cultural contexts. Childhood publishes theoretical and empirical articles, reviews and scholarly comments on children's social relations and culture, with an emphasis on their rights and generational position in society. Keywords: childhood studies; children's rights; sociology of childhood

Citizen science for scientific literacy and the attainment of sustainable development goals in normal education

2020

Curricular integration of the formal teaching of citizen science can bring to the classroom aspects of scientific literacy that encourage the involvement of citizens. In particular, these include non-epistemic aspects related to the sociology of science (which are often not transferred to the classroom). Furthermore, this practice raises awareness among students, and encourages them to become participants in the attainment of the United Nations&rsquo

Untersuchung des Solvatationsgleichgewichts im ternären system Tetrachlormethan/Polymethylmethacrylat/Benzol durch kernmagnetische relaxation

1971

Im ternaren System CCl4/Polymethacrylate(PMMA)/Benzol tritt praferentielle Solvatation auf, Benzol ist in der Solvathulle des Polymeren angereichert. Es genugt eine Solvatationsgleichgewichtskonstante, um die praferentielle Solvatation bei variablen Konzentrationsverhaltnissen zu beschreiben. Gemessen wurde die Kernmagnetische Relaxationszeit T1 von Benzol in Abhangigkeit von der Polymerkonzentration. Der Vergleich mit analogen Messungen im System C6D6/PMMA/C6H6 ergibt fur die Solvatationsgleichgewichtskonstante K = (c32 · c10)/(c12 · c30) = 2,5 ± 0,5. Hierbei bedeuten: c10 die CCl4-Konzentrationen im „freien” Losungsmittel, c30 die Benzolkonzentrationen im „freien” Losungsmittel, c12 und c…

1977

The investigation of electron transfer and subsequent reactions of divinylidene compounds not capable of anionic homopolymerization was extended to 1,3-bis(1-phenylvinyl)benzene (2). A new method for the preparation of this compound is described. Its reaction with Li, Na, and K as electron transfer reagents in THF as solvent results in an increasing yield in polymeric combination products of the radical anions formed primarily with increasing reducing power of the alkali metal. The main product, however, in any case is the cyclic dimeric tetra-anion of 2, which upon protonation yields 1,4,11,14-tetraphenyl[4.4]metacyclophane (3).

NMR relaxation and solvation equilibrium in the ternary system CCl4-polymethylmethacrylate-benzene

2007

In the ternary system CCl4-PMMA-benzene, benzene is preferentially adsorbed in the solvation shell of the polymer. One solvation equilibrium constant allows a satisfactory description of the preferential solvation for a large range of solvent compositions. The nuclear magnetic relaxation time T1 of benzene protons was measured for different values of the polymer concentration. The measurements are compared with analogous measurements in the system C6D6-PMMA-C6H6 where no preferential solvation is to be expected. For the system CCl4-PMMA-benzene the resulting dimensionless solvation equilibrium constant is K = c32c10/c12c30 = 2.5 ± 0.5 where c10 is the CCl4 concentration in the “free” solven…

1H NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zur Strukturaufklärung von Oligo(hydroxy-5-nitro-1,3-phenylen)methylen Verbindungen

1976

Die 1H NMR-Spektren von 51 Oligo(hydroxy-5-nitro-1,3-phenylen)methylen Verbindungen (17 Zwei-, 18 Drei-, 14 Vier- und 2 Funfkernverbindungen) wurden in Pyridin als Losungsmittel aufgenommen. Bei Verbindungen mit ortho-Nitrophenolbausteinen zeigten die Signale fur die Protonen der Methyl- bzw. Methylengruppen in allen Fallen charakteristische chemische Verschiebungen δ, so das eine eindeutige Unterscheidung zwischen Methylgruppen in para- (δ=2,09−2,15 p.p.m.) und ortho-Stellung (δ=2,22−2,28 p.p.m.) zur phenolischen Hydroxyl-Gruppe, sowie zwischen para-para- (δ=3,77−3,97 p.p.m.), ortho-para- (δ=4,02−4,12 p.p.m.) und ortho-ortho-Methylenbrucken (δ=4,21−4,32 p.p.m.) moglich war. Bei Verbindunge…
