Actualmente, el concepto de seguridad ha logrado expandirse hacia la inclusión de amenazas no tradicionales. En este contexto, el fenómeno de la migración internacional empieza a hacer parte de la agenda de algunos gobiernos, entendiéndose como un asunto que amenaza la seguridad del Estado. El interés de esta monografía gira en torno a examinar el discurso securitizador del Reino Unido sobre la inmigración rumana entre 2007-2014, con el fin de determinar la incidencia que este ha tenido en la percepción de la migración internacional como un asunto de seguridad en la UE. Al entender el discurso del Reino Unido a la luz de la teoría de securitización e incluir el análisis de la opinión pública europea, se observa que, si bien el discurso ha influido en el contexto doméstico, éste ha tenido una baja incidencia en la percepción de la migración internacional como un asunto de seguridad en la UE.

Obtener información sobre la relación entre la formación que reciben los futuros maestros en Ecuador, sus conocimientos sobre discapacidades, necesidades educativas especiales y su actitud hacia las personas con discapacidad, particularmente hacia la integración educativa. Está constituida por un total de 145 alumnos pertenecientes al primer y al tercer nivel de las instituciones que forman docentes primarios. La duración de los estudios es de 3 años. Se parte de la hipótesis de que los futuros maestros acaban sus estudios con una actitud negativa hacia las personas con discapacidad y hacia la integración educativa. La investigación tiene dos partes fundamentales: una revisión bibliográfica sobre el temas de las discapacidades y las formas de atención a estas personas, especialmente desde el punto de vista educativo que necesariamente atraviesa por los principios de normalización e integración; lo que son las actitudes, su formación, evaluación y modificación; los aspectos generales y particulares de atención a la discapacidad en el Ecuador especialmente y finalmente la formación de los profesores de Educación Primaria en Ecuador. En una segunda parte se analiza a través de la aplicación de una serie de pruebas las actitudes de los futuros docentes de primaria hacia la discapacidad y la integración. El instrumento fue elaborado con la estructura de una escala de actitudes tomando como base las escalas de Verdugo, M.A; Arias, B.; y Jenaro, C (1992). Se utilizan: la escala de actitudes hacia la integración escolar de Larrive y Cook (1979); la escala de opinión de los profesores hacia la integración del grupo ISIS de la Universidad de Sevilla y el cuestionario sobre integración escolar de Ortiz González, María del Carmen. Las escalas señaladas se adaptaron al medio donde se iban a aplicar. El tratamiento estadístico se realiza con S.P.S.S. (Stadistical Package Social Science). Se obtienen tabulaciones y frecuencias en relación con todas las variables y los datos estadísticos de correlación. Los alumnos del tercer nivel en su mayoría tienen una actitud más positiva hacia la integración. Contrariamente a lo esperado, la mayoría de quienes tienen contacto permanente con discapacitados tienen una actitud positiva mínima y mediana hacia la integración. La mayoría de los investigadores (88 por ciento) no tienen conocimiento sobre discapacidades, no saben distinguir entre deficiencia, discapacidad y minusvalía; es decir, no han recibido información sobre el tema de la discapacidad y la integración pero sin embargo muestran una actitud positiva mediana hacia la integración. Las actitudes hacia la discapacidad de los futuros maestros son mayoritariamente positivas (algo no esperado) y se explican por la presencia de variables que tienen que ver con el grado y tipo de conocimientos, que son elementos para la atención de estas personas. Las actitudes negativas se explican por la presencia de perjuicios, desventajas para los otros en la integración educativa, la influencia de un contexto negativo, etc. A partir de lo que se observa, se sugiere una reforma de planes y programas de formación para incorporar la concepción de la educación en base al respeto a la diferencia.

This study explored the ethnic identity among 331 emerging adults (144 mestizos and 187 indigenous) from the Intercultural University of Chiapas (México). Scholars suggest that ethnicity is much more salient for ethnic minority adolescents than for adolescents who are members of the ethnic majority. Our aim was to compare the results of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) between the majority ethnic group and the minority group studied. Specifically, the following hypothesis was examined: adolescents who are members of the ethnic minority group (indigenous) will score significantly higher on ethnic identity than adolescents who are members of the ethnic majority group (mestizos). The results supported these hypothesis. We suggest that the effect of an intercultural educative model could explain these results

This plea for changes in the way epidemiology is practiced presumes a progressive spirit among many readers, sharing a desire and in a position to serve humanity. The criteria used to begin this study of our role in the development of epidemiology is not simply a matter of technocratic formulae, but is based, rather on a committed point of view about the human dimension in the development of epidemiology. The aim is to generate propositions that will eliminate processes that destroy and threaten human life, promoting, instead, supportive measures and processes to protect society, the family and the individual.

There is a lack of knowledge base in relation to experiences gained and lessons learnt from previously executed National Health Service (NHS) infrastructure projects in the UK. This is in part a feature of one-off construction projects, which typify healthcare infrastructure, and in part due to the absence of a suitable method for conveying such information. The complexity of infrastructure delivery process in the NHS makes the construction of healthcare buildings a formidable task. This is particularly the case for the NHS trusts who have little or no experience of construction projects. To facilitate understanding a most important aspect of the delivery process, which is the preparation of a capital investment proposal; steps taken in developing the business case for an NHS healthcare facility are examined. The context for such examination is provided by the planning process of a healthcare project, studied retrospectively. The process is analysed using a social science based method called ‘building stories’, developed at the University of California-Berkeley. By applying this method, stories or narratives are constructed around the data captured on the case study. The findings indicate that the business case process may be used to justify, rather than identify, trusts’ requirements. The study is useful for UK public sector clients as well as consultants and professionals who aim to participate in the delivery of healthcare infrastructure projects in the UK.

Discussions on banking reforms to reduce financial exclusion have referred little to possible attitudinal constraints, on the part of staff at both branch and institutional levels, inhibiting the provision of financial services to the poor. The research project, funded by the ESCOR (now Social Science Research) Small Grants Committee, has focused on this aspect of financial exclusion. The research commenced in May 2001 and was completed in April 2002. Profiles of the rural bank branch managers, including personal background, professional background and workplace, are presented. Attitudes of managers toward aspects of their work environment and the rural poor are examined, using results from both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Finally, the emerging policy implications are discussed. These include bank reforms to address human resource management, the work environment, intermediate bank management and organization, and the client interface.

The VERA (Virtual Environment for Research in Archaeology) project is based on a research excavation of part of the large Roman town at Silchester, which aims to trace the site's development from its origins before the Roman conquest to its abandonment in the fifth century A.D. [1]. The VERA project aims to investigate how archaeologists use Information Technology (IT) in the context of a field excavation, and also for post-excavation analysis. VERA is a two-year project funded by the JISC VRE 2 programme that involves researchers from the University of Reading, University College London, and York Archaeological Trust. The overall aim of the project is to assess and introduce new tools and technologies that can aid the archaeological processes of gathering, recording and later analysis of data on the finds and artefacts discovered. The researchers involved in the project have a mix of skills, ranging from those related to archaeology, and computer science, though to ones involving usability and user assessment. This paper reports on the status of the research and development work undertaken in the project so far; this includes addressing various programming hurdles, on-site experiments and experiences, and the outcomes of usability and assessment studies.

It is sometimes argued that experimental economists do not have to worry about external validity so long as the design sticks closely to a theoretical model. This position mistakes the model for the theory. As a result, applied economics designs often study phenomena distinct from their stated objects of inquiry. Because the implemented models are abstract, they may provide improbable analogues to their stated subject matter. This problem is exacerbated by the relational character of the social world, which also sets epistemic limits for the social science laboratory more generally.
