E-Sports y brecha de género: la percepción de las profesionales españolas

2019

The present paper aims to identify the causes of under-representation of women in E-sports. According to a genre perspective, interest in videogames at the amateur level is quite similar. However, in its professional level, female participation becomes very limited. The fact that physical effort is irrelevant (a requirement for ?traditional sports?) could be considered a variable that would negatively affect greater to equality in the conditions of access and participation of women in electronic sports. Against any predictions, the data on the presence of women are elocuent: few women, with much lower wages than men to remunerate same skills, and a general complaint by the female profession…

The (im)possible success of disadvantaged students. Reflections on education, migration and social change

2019

The paper focuses on the ?unexpected pathways? of successful students with an immigrant background: these biographical routes, that seems socially impossible, raise theoretical issues around the individual-society, actor-structure relationship. Disadvantaged students who succeed represent a sociological challenge in the attempt to understand atypical situations and to identify the institutional processes and the structural opportunities that facilitate them, reducing ethnic inequalities in education. This framework is the starting point of the Su.Per. project (Success in educational pathways of students with immigrant background), based on the collection of written autobiographies of 65 imm…

Tālākizglītības potenciāla izmantošanas un pilnveides iespējas darbā ar trešo valstu valstspiederīgajiem

2014

Anotācija Mūsdienu pasaulē cilvēku mobilitāte pieņemas nepieredzētos plašumos, kas rada jaunus izaicinājumus izglītības sistēmai daudzās valstīs, tai skaitā arī Latvijā. Viena no aktuālām problēmām visā pasaulē ir sabiedrības, tostarp skolotāju, neiecietība pret trešo valstu valstspiederīgajiem. Promocijas darbā Ērika Pičukāne ir raksturojusi un analizējusi situāciju par Latvijas skolotāju iecietību vai neiecietību pret trešo valstu valstspiederīgajiem. Pētījumā tika konstatēts, ka galvenais neiecietību sekmējošs faktors ir vietējo mediju saturs. Izmantojot teorētisko un empīrisko analīzi, darba autore piedāvā Burdjē teorijā pamatotas tālākizglītības pilnveides iespējas, kas veicina skolotā…

"There Are No Women and They All Play Mercy" : Understanding and Explaining (the Lack of) Women’s Presence in Esports and Competitive Gaming

2018

In this paper, we explore women’s participation in esports and competitive gaming. We will analyze two different types of research material: online questionnaire responses by women explaining their reluctance to participate in esports, and online forum discussions regarding women’s participation in competitive Overwatch. We will examine the ways in which women’s participation – its conditions, limits and possibilities – are constructed in the discussions concerning women gamers, how women are negotiating their participation in their own words, and in what ways gender may affect these processes. Our findings support those made in previous studies concerning esports and competitive gaming as …

Optimisation through offshore – between reality and legality

2021

The study highlights the complete image of the characteristics regarding offshore areas, by taking into account the perspective to deploy new measures of fiscal transparency. The importance of such areas stems from the fact that world economies lose important sums of money, every year by default of taxes. This happens as a consequence of corporative international abuse of fiscal evasion and the relocation of the profit made by big companies. The sums resulted from erosion of national taxation bases, from fiscal evasion and fraud and other infringements connected with fiscal evasion (are often being transferred to offshore companies so that their illegal characteristics gets lost and after t…

Ceļu satiksmes automatizācijas efektivitāte Rīgas infrastruktūrā

2021

Darba mērķis ir atrast efektīvu algoritmu automātiskai luksoforu pārslēgšanas ciklu pārvaldībai Rīgas krustojumos. Mērķa sasniegšanai izmanto reālu statistiku par transportlīdzekļu un gājēju skaitu konkrētos pilsētas krustojumos. Uz šīs statistikas pamata paredzēts veikt simulācijas, kuru rezultātā iespējama konkrētu risinājumu efektivitātes izvērtēšana.

Active commuting to school among 36,781 Spanish children and adolescents: A temporal trend study.

2021

This study examines trends in the rates of active commuting to school (ACS) in Spanish children (n = 18 343; 8.93 ± 1.68) and adolescents (n = 18 438; 14.11 ± 1.58) aged 6‐18 years from 2010 to 2017. Given the study period included the economic crisis in Spain (2008‐2013), the second aim of this study was to compare ACS rates during and after the economic crisis. Data were obtained from 28 studies conducted across Spain. The overall trends in ACS were evaluated using multilevel logistic regression analysis. Among Spanish children and adolescents, the rates of ACS to school ranged around 60% between 2010 and 2017. The rates of ACS in Spanish youth did not change significantly during the 2010…
