The rationale for policy interest in career development services, and the way in which this rationale is being strengthened by the current transformations in work and career, are discussed. The potential roles of public policy in relation to career development services are explored, along with ways in which such services can influence the policy-making process. A range of policy issues related to making career development services available to all throughout life are identified: these include the nature of such services, where they are to be located, and who is to pay for them. It is argued that there is a need for stronger structures and processes to bring together career development practitioners with policy- makers and other stakeholder interests in order to address tasks of common concern, at both national and international levels.

La Orientación Vocacional en Dinamarca está bien organizada y es altamente profesional. Esto refleja una política orientadora centrada en el papel que la orientación juega como instrumento en el ejercicio de un leve control social. Con este telón de fondo, el dilema de la Orientación en Dinamarca reside en el delicado equilibrio existente entre la orientación considerada como una herramienta para el desarrollo personal, y como un instrumento de control social.

The international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop-ment (OECD), like many national and international organizations concerned with economic development believes that career guidance has an important role in promoting the development of a country's human resources. (Mapping the future: Young People and career guidance OECD, 1996). Generally the economic development agencies always recommend that career guidance services should be strengthened. Too frequently, however, they do not recognize the difficulties facing counselor in the schools and do not give clear and specific recommendations, yet they appear to believe that the education or other au thorities who are responsible to guidance will quickly agree and provide more resources for guidance. In addition to economic development agencies, social and educational development agencies also make important recommendations concerning the provision of guidance services. UNESCO, for example, has published two re- cent reports (Policies and Guidelines for Educational and Vocational Guidelines for Equal Access and Opportunity for Girls and Women in Technical and Vocational Education.) It is interesting to compare the OECD and UNESCO rec- ommendations and note that the relative strengths of each set of recommenda- tions, and to imagine how they might be combined in advocating changes in policies and programs.

We utilize Thailand's the financial crisis in 1997 as a natural experiment which exogenously shifts labor demand. Convincing evidence from the Thailand Labor Force Survey support the hypothesis that both employment opportunities and wages shrunk for new entrants after the crisis. We find that workers who entered before the crisis experienced job losses and wage losses. But these losses were smaller than those of new entrants after the crisis. We also find that new entrants after the crisis experienced a 10% reduction in the overtime wages compared to new entrants before the crisis.

From its creation, Spanish Young Generation in Nuclear (Jóvenes Nucleares, JJNN), a non-profit organization that depends on the Spanish Nuclear Society (SNE), has as an important scope to help spread knowledge about nuclear energy, not only pointing out its advantages and its role in our society, but also trying to correct some of the ideas that are due to the biased information and to the lack of knowledge. To try to have success in that goal, some high school lectures were taught and it has been organized regularly a Basic Course on Nuclear Science and Technology

The main objective of this course, conducted by Jóvenes Nucleares (Spanish Young Generation in Nuclear, JJNN), a non-profit organization that depends on the Spanish Nuclear Society (SNE) is to pass on basic knowledge about Science and Nuclear Technology to the general public, mostly students and introduce them to its most relevant points. The purposes of this course are to provide general information, to answer the most common questions about Nuclear Energy and to motivate the young students to start a career in nuclear. Therefore, it is directed mainly to high school and university students, but also to general people that wants to learn about the key issues of such an important matter in our society. Anybody could attend the course, as no specific scientific education is required. The course is done at least once a year, during the Annual Meeting of the Spanish Nuclear Society, which takes place in a different Spanish city each time. The course is done also to whichever university or institution that asks for it to JJNN, with the only limit of the presenter´s availability. The course is divided into the following chapters: Physical nuclear and radiation principles, Nuclear power plants, Nuclear safety, Nuclear fuel, Radioactive waste, Decommission of nuclear facilities, Future nuclear power plants, Other uses of nuclear technology, Nuclear energy, climate change and sustainable development. The course is divided into 15 minutes lessons on the above topics, imparted by young professionals, experts in the field that belongs either to the Spanish Young Generation in Nuclear, either to companies and institutions related with nuclear energy. At the end of the course, a 200 pages book with the contents of the course is handed to every member of the audience. This book is also distributed in other course editions at high schools and universities in order to promote the scientific dissemination of the Nuclear Technology. As an extra motivation, JJNN delivers a course certificate to the assistants. At the end of the last edition course, in Santiago de Compostela, the assistants were asked to provide a feedback about it. Some really interesting lessons were learned, that will be very useful to improve next editions of the course. As a general conclusion of the courses it can be said that many of the students that have assisted to the course have increased their motivation in the nuclear field, and hopefully it will help the young talents to choose the nuclear field to develop their careers

El Proyecto Final de Carrera(PFC)Implementación de Ingeniería Virtual con Joomla! tiene como objetivo la creación de una plataforma web. Para desarrollar un proyecto de ingeniería multidisciplinar, basado en el trabajo en red, grupos de trabajo y el trabajo flexible. El trabajo en red es desempeñar el trabajo por medio de las Tecnología de la Información y la comunicación (TIC). Los grupos de trabajo están compuestos por personas multidisciplinares, multirraciales, de diferentes religiones, situados en husos horarios distintos y multiculturales donde la colaboración, flexibilidad y la compartición de recursos están a la orden del día. La flexible es la capacidad de adaptación de los propios trabajadores a la demanda de la productividad, los responsables depositan sobre ellos su confianza, recibiendo el trabajo terminado en forma y fecha. Estos trabajadores no necesitan una supervisión constante ni un sitio fijo donde realizar su trabajo. Todo lo que necesitan esta en la red, la información que necesitan como las herramientas. Convirtiéndose este tipo de trabajador en teletrabajadores. Estos trabajadores utilizan de forma intensiva sus conocimientos, no se puede permitir quedarse obsoletos en su conocimientos, sería su gran desgracia. Por está razón, necesitan estar formándose continuamente, aprendiendo y conociendo las nuevas tecnologías que aparecen. Con el objetivo de conseguir nuevas líneas de negocio, con el fin de lograr nuevos ingresos. Los trabajadores que hacen un uso intensivo en la tecnología de la información y comunicación, se caracterizan por la continua innovación y cambio tecnológico. Estos trabajadores necesitan una red profesional, social amplia con enlaces fuertes y poderosos. Las redes son importantes, para estar actualizado con las innovaciones que se realizan en las empresas, optar a nuevos puesto de trabajo, curso en nuevas tecnologías… Gracias a los servicios actuales en Internet facilitan mantener vivos una gran cantidad de enlaces (contactos), en comparación con otras épocas. La plataforma propuesta en este proyecto final de carrera esta compuesta de todas las herramientas necesarias para que estos trabajadores puedan desarrollar su actividad y mantenimiento de sus redes profesionales. Abstract: The aim of this Final Project of Career, Implementation of Virtual Engineering with Joomla!, is to create a web software application where a multidisciplinary engineering project bases on the networking, working groups and the flexible working can be implemented. The networking is the job through the Information Technology and Communication (ITC) where working groups compounded of multidisciplinary and multiracial professions, different religions and located in different time zones are created. The multicultural environment, collaboration, flexibility and to share resources are the order of the day on this kind of groups. The flexibility is the ability to adaptability of workers to the productivity demand, with the trust which is placed on them by supervisor people who wait to receive the work completed in a specific form and date. These workers do not need either constant supervision or a fixed site where to do the job. Everything the workers need is on the network, as the information as the tools, that is why they become teleworkers. These workers demand a high use of their knowledge, so it can not be allowed to become obsolete. This would be a great misfortune. That is why they need to continue learning and knowing the new technologies emerging with the aim of getting new revenues. Workers do an intensive use of the information technology and communication, characterized by continuous innovation and technological change. These workers need a broad social and professional network with great power. This network is important to keep updated with innovations taking place at the companies, to apply for a new job, a new technology course etc.. Thanks to Internet services a bigger number of contacts are provided compared to earlier times. The software application of this project is compounded with enough tools with the aim of the workers can carry out their activity and maintenance of the links on their professional nets.

The dynamic characteristics of reflex eye movements were measured in two strains of chronically prepared mice by using an infrared television camera system. The horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (HVOR) and horizontal optokinetic response (HOKR) were induced by sinusoidal oscillations of a turntable, in darkness, by 10° (peak to peak) at 0.11–0.50 Hz and of a checked-pattern screen, in light, by 5–20°at 0.11–0.17 Hz, respectively. The gains and phases of the HVOR and HOKR of the C57BL/6 mice were nearly equivalent to those of rabbits and rats, whereas the 129/Sv mice exhibited very low gains in the HVOR and moderate phase lags in the HOKR, suggesting an inherent sensory-motor anomaly. Adaptability of the HOKR was examined in C57BL/6 mice by sustained screen oscillation. When the screen was oscillated by 10° at 0.17 Hz, which induced sufficient retinal slips, the gain of the HOKR increased by 0.08 in 1 h on average, whereas the stimuli that induced relatively small or no retinal slips affected the gain very little. Lesions of the flocculi induced by local applications of 0.1% ibotenic acid and lesions of the inferior olivary nuclei induced by i.p. injection of 3-acetylpyridine in C57BL/6 mice little affected the dynamic characteristics of the HVOR and HOKR, but abolished the adaptation of the HOKR. These results indicate that the olivo-floccular system plays an essential role in the adaptive control of the ocular reflex in mice, as suggested in other animal species. The data presented provide the basis for analyzing the reflex eye movements of genetically engineered mice.
