La valoració del coneixement de la llengua pròpia i del dret propi de Catalunya en la provisió de places del personal al servei de l’administració de justícia

La recerca proposa l’estudi del contingut i abast de les principals disposicions normatives que ordenen la valoració del coneixement de la llengua i el dret propis de Catalunya en la provisió de les places judicials. L’anàlisi de la tramitació parlamentària de les disposicions ha permès posar en context decisions del legislador, oferint instruments d’hermenèutica útils per resoldre debats interpretatius que avui es plantegen en seu doctrinal. La recerca inclou l’estudi dels efectes d’aquests textos normatius, en tant que permeten mesurar-ne la seva eficàcia i s’han de tenir en compte en el debat de les reformes que, eventualment, puguin desplegar-se. Des de la perspectiva d’anàlisi de les polítiques públiques, la recerca descriu les principals mesures formulades i implementades per les diferents Administracions Públiques, i molt especialment per la Generalitat de Catalunya, amb l’objectiu de corregir disfuncions que presenta aquest marc legal i reglamentari. La recerca ha posat en evidència que el règim jurídic que ordena l’aptitud lingüística i el coneixement del dret propi de Catalunya per part del personal judicial es caracteritza per la seva complexitat i falta de coherència. La valoració del coneixement de la llengua i el dret propis de la Comunitat Autònoma s’ha regulat molt tardament. Com a regla general, es valora com un mèrit en la provisió de la plaça, sotmès a més a intenses controvèrsies pel que fa a la determinació dels barems de puntuació concedits. En certs casos, com és el cos de Fiscals substituts, la valoració de la llengua i el dret propis de la Comunitat Autònoma ni tan sols es valora com un mèrit. Simplement no es té en compte. Pel que fa referència als secretaris judicials, la darrera reforma de la L.O. 6/1985 d’1 de juliol, del Poder Judicial, aprovada per L.O. 19/2003 de 23 de desembre, ha introduït el requisit de la capacitació lingüística per cobrir determinades places, per bé que el criteri general és el de la meritació puntuable. Altrament, en el cas del personal judicial depenent de la Generalitat s’ha garantit el requisit d’aptitud lingüística. D’aquesta manera, s’ha optat per assegurar un coneixement adequat i suficient de les dues llengües oficials, tant en l’expressió oral com en l’escrita, per a desenvolupar eficaçment les funcions pròpies del seu lloc de treball.

Conocimiento de la ley y preparación del personal sanitario sobre el proceso asistencial de la muerte.

The aims of this study were to ascertain the perception that health professionals (doctors, nurses and nursing assistants) have about their preparation for the care of terminally ill patients and to determine their knowledge about palliative care legislation. This cross sectional study was performed at a hospital in Granada (Spain); we administered an ad hoc questionnaire. The results indicated that although most of the staff had worked with terminally ill patients, only half believed that they have been trained to care for them. A significant proportion stated that they did not know about the current palliative care legislation. Most professionals would question the withdrawal of therapies for the maintenance of life; most of them are also unaware of the mechanism for reporting on the completion of a Living Will, as well as a Plan for Palliative Care in Andalusia (Spain).

Adaptación y validación al español del cuestionario 4CornerSAT para la medida de la satisfacción profesional del personal médico de atención especializada.

BACKGROUND Satisfaction of physicians is a concern in the healthcare sector, and it requires a multi-dimensional questionnaire in Spanish which studies their high-order needs. The objectives of this study are to adapt the 4CornerSAT Questionnaire to measure career satisfaction of physicians and to evaluate its validity in our context. METHOD The 4CornerSAT Questionnaire was adapted into Spanish, validating it among physicians of hospitals in Andalusia, Spain. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to corroborate the a priori model, and it was evaluated the internal consistency and the construct validity through the Cronbach's alpha and the correlation between the scale and the global item, respectively. RESULTS The adapted questionnaire was administrated to 121 specialist physicians. The CFA corroborated the four dimensions of the questionnaire (χ2=114.64, df=94, p<0.07; χ2/df=1.22; RMSEA=0.04). The internal consistency obtained an α=0.92 and the correlation between the summed scale and the global item verified the construct validity (r=0.77; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The 4CornerSAT questionnaire was adapted to Spanish, identifying an adequate construct validity and internal consistency.

The combination of social and personal contexts affects dominance hierarchy development in shore crabs, Carcinus maenas

Many animals that live in groups maintain competitive relationships, yet avoid continual fighting, by forming dominance hierarchies. We compare predictions of stochastic, individual-based models with empirical experimental evidence using shore crabs to test competing hypotheses regarding hierarchy development. The models test (1) what information individuals use when deciding to fight or retreat, (2) how past experience affects current resource-holding potential, and (3) how individuals deal with changes to the social environment. First, we conclude that crabs assess only their own state and not their opponent's when deciding to fight or retreat. Second, willingness to enter, and performance in, aggressive contests are influenced by previous contest outcomes. Winning increases the likelihood of both fighting and winning future interactions, while losing has the opposite effect. Third, when groups with established dominance hierarchies dissolve and new groups form, individuals reassess their ranks, showing no memory of previous rank or group affiliation. With every change in group composition, individuals fight for their new ranks. This iterative process carries over as groups dissolve and form, which has important implications for the relationship between ability and hierarchy rank. We conclude that dominance hierarchies emerge through an interaction of individual and social factors, and discuss these findings in terms of an underlying mechanism. Overall, our results are consistent with crabs using a cumulative assessment strategy iterated across changes in group composition, in which aggression is constrained by an absolute threshold in energy spent and damage received while fighting.

Serial QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube assay and tuberculin skin test to diagnose latent tuberculosis in household Mexican contacts: conversion and reversion rates and associated factors using conventional and borderline zone definitions

A cohort of 123 adult contacts was followed for 18‐24 months (86 completed the follow-up) to compare conversion and reversion rates based on two serial measures of QuantiFERON (QFT) and tuberculin skin test (TST) (PPD from TUBERSOL, Aventis Pasteur, Canada) for diagnosing latent tuberculosis (TB) in household contacts of TB patients using conventional (C) and borderline zone (BZ) definitions. Questionnaires were used to obtain information regarding TB exposure, TB risk factors and socio-demographic data. QFT (IU/mL) conversion was defined as <0.35 to ≥0.35 (C) or <0.35 to >0.70 (BZ) and reversion was defined as ≥0.35 to <0.35 (C) or ≥0.35 to <0.20 (BZ); TST (mm) conversion was defined as <5 to ≥5 (C) or <5 to >10 (BZ) and reversion was defined as ≥5 to <5 (C). The QFT conversion and reversion rates were 10.5% and 7% with C and 8.1% and 4.7% with the BZ definitions, respectively. The TST rates were higher compared with QFT, especially with the C definitions (conversion 23.3%, reversion 9.3%). The QFT conversion and reversion rates were higher for TST ≥5; for TST, both rates were lower for QFT <0.35. No risk factors were associated with the probability of converting or reverting. The inconsistency and apparent randomness of serial testing is confusing and adds to the limitations of these tests and definitions to follow-up close TB contacts.

Validity of the "Drift without pronation" sign in conversion disorder.

BACKGROUND: Conversion disorder (CD) is a psychiatric disorder, yet the diagnosis cannot be established without the expertise of a neurologist, as distinguishing a functional from an organic symptom relies on careful bedside examination. Joseph Babinski considered the absence of pronator drift as a 'positive sign' for hysterical paresis but the validity of this sign has never been evaluated. The aim of this study was to examine the sensitivity and specificity of the "drift without pronation" sign. METHODS: Twenty-six patients with unilateral functional upper limb paresis diagnosed with CD (DSM-IV) and a control group of 28 patients with an organic neurological condition were consecutively included. The arm stabilisation test was performed with arms stretched out in full supination, fingers adducted, eyes closed for 10 seconds. A positive "drift without pronation" sign was defined by the presence of a downward drift without pronation. RESULTS: All CD subjects (100%) displayed a positive sign when only 7.1% of organic subjects did (Fisher's p < 0.001). The sign yielded a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI:84%-100%) and a specificity of 93% (95% CI:76%-98%). CONCLUSION: The observation of a "drift without pronation" sign is specific for Conversion Disorder and can be of help in making a quick distinction between organic and functional paresis at the bedside.

Transforming personal experience and emotions through education to cultural diversity: an interplay between unicity and genericity

When subjects studied at school are close to societal discourses and to the students' social identities, when they have high emotional resonance, is it possible to enable the students to distance themselves from their emotions and personal experience, and to conceptualise them? Examining the relation between emotion and learning through the lens of socio-cultural psychology, the aim of our study was to shed light on "secondarisation" processes, that is, processes that transform personal experience and emotions into conceptualised forms of thinking. We analysed 85 video-recorded lessons in education for cultural diversity involving 12 teachers (of primary and secondary schools). Having identified episodes in which emotions were put into words or personal experience was reported, we analysed the use of pronouns (taken as indicators of secondarisation processes) and found a recurrent pattern: "the unicity-genericity routine". We illustrate the functioning of this routine with various excerpts taken from lessons in education for diversity taught in the classes of two teachers in primary school. The results show that the interplay between unicity and genericity works as a discursive resource for the development of secondarisation processes.
