Communicative methodology seeks to achieve social transformation while developing research. It starts from the premise that everyone has knowledge regardless of their academic level. Its main aim is to break with the methodological relevance gap and provide social justice while researching with and for the end users. In this case, this paper presents the contributions to feminism knowledge creation with the collaboration of nonacademic women and academic women. These nonacademic women participate in dialogic literary gatherings reading and discussing universal classic literature, gaining knowledge and sharing through egalitarian dialogue. At the same time, this paper highlights the figure and contributions of Jesus Gómez, "Pato," as the founder of the communicative methodology.
El movimiento migratorio que se dio a partir de los años cincuenta en las regiones españolas produjo un cambio en la configuración definitiva del panorama nacional. Aunque antes de la década de los cincuenta ya se habían producido algunos flujos de intercambio, hay un momento clave en este proceso para Andalucía. Se trata de los años sesenta, cuando la falta de recursos y la escasez de trabajo, hizo que centenares de andaluces buscaran nuevos horizontes fuera del territorio andaluz. El destino principal fue Cataluña, donde casi un millón de personas procedentes del sur se afincaron allí. A partir de este momento, el papel del ciudadano andaluz en la que algunos llaman «la novena» provincia, Cataluña, será determinante en la estructura social y política del territorio catalán. En este contexto, el Partido Socialista de Andalucía (PSA) decide emprender afincarse en Cataluña y participar activamente en el desarrollo político catalán en defensa de los intereses de los andaluces allí afincados. Se trata del primer partido de la historia de la democracia española que siendo de naturaleza propiamente andaluza consigue tener representación política (dos escaños) en el Parlament de Cataluña. Desde esta investigación lo que se pretende es analizar los verdaderos motivos que condujeron a los andalucistas a configurarse como entidad política en Cataluña. Las relaciones con los principales partidos del momento en Cataluña influirán notoriamente en el desarrollo del PSA en aquella tierra. No obstante, para entender los motivos que llevaron al PSA a emprender esta aventura política es necesario conocer el contexto sociopolítico que envolvía a la formación andalucista. De hecho, el declive del PSA hasta su disolución total en el 2015 se refleja en la breve trayectoria en el Parlament. En cuanto a lo social, son muchas las asociaciones y peñas que se organizan para la defensa del ciudadano «inmigrante». Fomentar la cultura andaluza en Cataluña será el motivo principal por el que nazca la FECAC, una federación que aunará las distintas asociaciones culturales repartidas por todo el territorio catalán. Por ello, esta tesis también tendrá como objeto analizar la integración de los andaluces migrantes en esta época de la historia de España. El principal objetivo que se persigue desde esta investigación es analizar las circunstancias que llevan al PSA a presentarse a las elecciones catalanas y si realmente eran necesarios para luchar por los derechos de los andaluces inmigrantes que residían allí, protegiendo también los valores y la cultura andaluza. Esta tesis doctoral pretende encontrar las variables clave que explicarían dicha decisión y cómo es entendida la integración de dos sociedades tan diferentes culturalmente, pero ambas movidas por un objetivo: la autonomía. ; The migratory movement that began in the fifties in the Spanish regions produced a change in the definitive configuration of the national panorama. Although there had already been some exchange flows before the 1950s, there is a key moment in this process for Andalusia. It was in the sixties, when the lack of resources and the scarcity of work led hundreds of Andalusians to seek new horizons outside Andalusian territory. The main destination was Catalonia, where almost a million people from the south settled. From this moment on, the role of the Andalusian citizen in what some call «the ninth» province, Catalonia, will be decisive in the social and political structure of the Catalan territory. In this context, the Socialist Party of Andalusia (PSA) decided to settle in Catalonia and participate actively in Catalan political development in defence of the interests of the Andalusians living there. It was the first party in the history of Spanish democracy that, being properly Andalusian in nature, managed to have political representation (two seats) in the Parliament of Catalonia. The aim of this research is to analyse the real reasons that led the Andalusians to become a political entity in Catalonia. Relations with the main parties of the time in Catalonia will notoriously influence the development of the PSA in that land. However, in order to understand the reasons that led the PSA to embark on this political adventure, it is necessary to understand the socio-political context surrounding the Andalusian formation. In fact, the decline of the PSA until its total dissolution in 2015 is reflected in the brief trajectory in Parlament. As for the social aspect, many associations and clubs organise themselves to defend the «immigrant» citizen. Fostering Andalusian culture in Catalonia will be the main reason for the birth of the FECAC, a federation that will bring together the different cultural associations spread throughout the Catalan territory. For this reason, this doctoral dissertation Will also have the aim of analysing the integration of Andalusian migrants at this time in the history of Spain. The main objective of this research is to analyse the circumstances that led the PSA to stand for election in Catalonia and whether they were really necessary to fight for the rights of the Andalusian immigrants who lived there, while also protecting Andalusian values and culture. This doctoral dissertation aims to find the key variables that would explain this decision and how the integration of two societies that are so culturally different, but both driven by one objective: the autonomy of their regions.
Framed in a context of questioning of the social sciences by European institutions, this article offers an example of a way of doing organic public sociology for and with civil society. The authors employ the Communicative Methodology, which goes beyond oppositions between descriptive and normative sociology. It does so by using the concept of 'successful actions,' which brings scientific knowledge into dialogue with the knowledge of people from the communities and institutions involved. Thanks to Communicative Methodology, the European Parliament approved the successful actions from a study of a Roma neighborhood in extreme poverty, leading to the creation of a successful cooperative with sustainable employment. In sum, this public sociology calls for a dialogic democracy accountable to all voices, in which the successful actions that researchers analyze then get recreated in collaboration with the publics, so that society can implement them to improve people's living conditions.
This case study describes Multi-user domains (MUDS) as a virtual learning environment for fostering the imaginative and symbolic aspects of transformative learning by relying primarily on the work of Boyd and Freire. MUDs are an increasingly popular but largely unexplored location for adult learning.
The scientific community has provided a wide range of evidence that family and community involvement in schools benefits not only students' learning but also their surrounding community. The INCLUD-ED project has conducted case studies of successful schools around Europe that have strong community participation. Some of them are engaged in the Learning Communities project, an international project of educational and social transfonnation aimed at overcoming school failure. Through these case studies, INCLUD-ED has gone beyond the state of the art in the field and has provided a classification of types of family and community participation and identified forms of involvement that improve students' academic achievement. This article presents the benefits of those fonns of participation and focuses on some forms of commooity involvement in the Learning Communities that have been found to improve students' school learning and other education-related aspects, such as living together. ; peer-reviewed
N° ISBN - 978-2-7380-1284-5 ; International audience ; The small-scale poultry production has a widespread distribution on the farms of family farming in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. This activity plays an important ecological and socio-economic role, and it is fundamental to social reproduction of rural communities. However, it has been a marginal issue in institutional agendas of both agencies of rural development and research and even in the instances of social representation of these actors. Its invisibility keeps also hidden the potentialities of agents like young people and women who are important protagonists in small scale of animal production. Recently, significant changes in local institutional action can be seen after the adoption of agroecological approaches and a bigger support by specific credit policies to family farms. These changes are showing new possibilities for rediscovering small scale poultry production and repositioning the relevance of this activity, including in providing greater social equity in the countryside.

The precedents of the MeToo University movement, both in USA and Spain, has been led since the 1990s both by people who have taken a stand against sexual harassment in universities. The present study reflects the history of the MeToo University in Spain with an emphasis in the start of organized movement in 2013, also simultaneously with the one organized in the USA. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with people who led this transformation since its beginnings, as well as with others who have joined recently, in order to learn about the historical scope of this movement from a qualitative approach. Those people have suffered from isolating gender violence for daring to break the silence, being a loudspeaker and putting a name to a problem still silenced in Spanish universities and in the world. The movement has achieved great advances in academic settings, such as the obligation of all universities to have protocols for action in case of sexual harassment or gender violence, the legislation of isolating gender violence, and an unstoppable number of people who come out to tell their cases. ; Los precedentes del movimiento MeToo Universidad, tanto en EE.UU. como en España, han sido liderados desde la década de los 90 por personas que se han posicionado contra el acoso sexual en las universidades. El presente estudio refleja la historia del MeToo Universidad en España con énfasis en el inicio del movimiento organizado en 2013, también simultáneamente con el organizado en EE.UU. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a personas que lideraron esta transformación desde sus inicios, así como a otras que se han incorporado recientemente, con el fin de conocer el alcance histórico de este movimiento desde un enfoque cualitativo. Esas personas han sufrido violencia de género aisladora por atreverse a romper el silencio, ser altavoz y poner nombre a un problema aún silenciado en las universidades españolas y en el mundo. El movimiento ha conseguido grandes avances en el ámbito académico, ...
When faced with situations of gender-based violence, one becomes exposed to risk in giving support to the victim (van Reemst, Fischer, & WC Zwirs, 2015, Hamby, Weber, Grych, & Banyard, 2016; Liebst, Heinskou & Ejbye-Ernst, 2018). This form of violence, second order of sexual harassment (SOSH), occurs when people who support victims of gender-based violence experience violence themselves because of this positioning (Vidu et al., 2017; Flecha, 2021). There is little research on the subject. Through a quantitative study carried out with 1541 Spaniards over 18 years of age, we provide, for the first time, quantitative evidence of the incidence of SOSH in the responses of people who have been aware of a situation of gender-based violence. Our results show that SOSH is an important obstacle; 40% of people who did not offer help in the case of gender-based violence did not do so for reasons that correspond to SOSH.We concluded that the fear of suffering SOSH can condition people's reactions in the environment, thereby limiting the possibility of female victims of violence receiving help.
Meaningful citizen participation throughout the development of research projects has increased the societal impact of science. Co-creation processes promote a more significant societal impact by aligning research with societal needs. In recent years, essential advances in citizen participation in science have been identified. However, there are still critical challenges that limit citizen interaction with scientific creations. This article provides some of the contributions made by the Net4Impact network in the face of these challenges. Specifically, we analyse co-creation processes developed by those projects that have demonstrated societal impact. This qualitative study is based on the analysis of Webinars, meetings with researchers from different scientific areas and Communicative Content Analysis. As a result, this work provides six examples of societal impact in three scientific areas: social sciences, humanities, and engineering. In addition, we analyse the characteristics and implications of the different co-creation processes developed by these successful projects.

Resultado clínico; Epitranscriptómica; Glioma ; Clinical outcome; Epitranscriptomics; Glioma ; Resultat clínic; Epitranscriptòmica; Glioma ; Tumors have aberrant proteomes that often do not match their corresponding transcriptome profiles. One possible cause of this discrepancy is the existence of aberrant RNA modification landscapes in the so-called epitranscriptome. Here, we report that human glioma cells undergo DNA methylation-associated epigenetic silencing of NSUN5, a candidate RNA methyltransferase for 5-methylcytosine. In this setting, NSUN5 exhibits tumor-suppressor characteristics in vivo glioma models. We also found that NSUN5 loss generates an unmethylated status at the C3782 position of 28S rRNA that drives an overall depletion of protein synthesis, and leads to the emergence of an adaptive translational program for survival under conditions of cellular stress. Interestingly, NSUN5 epigenetic inactivation also renders these gliomas sensitive to bioactivatable substrates of the stress-related enzyme NQO1. Most importantly, NSUN5 epigenetic inactivation is a hallmark of glioma patients with long-term survival for this otherwise devastating disease. ; This work was supported by a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant under the European Community's Seventh Framework Program (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC Grant Agreement No. 268626—EPINORC project (to M.
