En trance con las transversales.

El proyecto se centra en la elaboración de materiales que incluyen los temas transversales como elementos generadores del aprendizaje en el currículo de la educación de personas adultas (nivel de neolectores), para fomentar la reflexión y el estudio de temas de actualidad. Los objetivos son: capacitar a las personas para que participen activamente en la transformación de su entorno social y natural; potenciar la autoestima, mediante el desarrollo de sus capacidades; construir y respetar las normas de convivencia; favorecer el interés por la lectura; y crear la necesidad de un proceso de formación permanente. La experiencia consiste en la creación de equipos de trabajo que se encargan del diseño de los módulos que son posteriormente evaluados y debatidos para la elaboración de una propuesta didáctica definitiva que se aplicará en el aula. Cada módulo integra y relaciona el desarrollo de las áreas transversales (Educación Moral y Cívica, Ambiental, para la Paz, para la Salud, para el Consumidor, etc.) con los contenidos específicos del nivel de neolectores (escuela, autobiografía, consumo, pacifismo, constitución y vida política, medios de comunicación, mujer, mundo laboral y salud). Utiliza una metodología que parte de la experiencia y situación real del alumnado. La valoración de la experiencia se considera positiva al mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se realiza también una autoevaluación por parte del alumnado.

Estamos en trance de una nueva ordenación de la Universidad : discurso del Ministro de Educación Nacional, Prof. Lora Tamayo, en la Asamblea de Catedráticos de las Facultades de Filosofía y Letras, en Granada.

Transcripción del discurso pronunciado por el Ministro de Educación Nacional, Manuela Lora Tamayo, en la Asamblea de Catedráticos de Facultades de Filosofía y Letras, el 16 de marzo de 1963, sobre la ordenación del profesorado universitario, la investigación en la universidad, el desarrollo de los planes de estudio.

La Universidad Española está en trance de renovación : el programa de nuevas creaciones y construcciones se está llevando a cabo dentro del Plan de Desarrollo.

Se reproduce el discurso del Profesor Lora Tamayo, Ministro de Educación Nacional, con motivo de la clausura en la Universidad de Oviedo, del Simposio sobre el Padre Feijoo y la inauguración del curso académico 1964-1965.

Panaméricas Utópicas: entranced and transient nations in 'I Am Cuba' and 'Land in Trance'

This Chapter looks at two political films, Land in Trance (Glauber Rocha, 1967) and I Am Cuba (Mikhail Kalatozov, 1964), which address the subject of the nation through the enactment of trance. Rejecting all forms of naturalistic account, both films adopt a series of anti-realist devices, such as poetic language, synecdoche, personification, parable and allegory, as a means of expanding the concept of the nation beyond territorial borders and conveying the meaning of revolution through the film form rather than its content.

Neuroimaging during Trance State: A Contribution to the Study of Dissociation

Despite increasing interest in pathological and non-pathological dissociation, few researchers have focused on the spiritual experiences involving dissociative states such as mediumship, in which an individual (the medium) claims to be in communication with, or under the control of, the mind of a deceased person. Our preliminary study investigated psychography - in which allegedly "the spirit writes through the medium's hand" - for potential associations with specific alterations in cerebral activity. We examined ten healthy psychographers - five less expert mediums and five with substantial experience, ranging from 15 to 47 years of automatic writing and 2 to 18 psychographies per month - using single photon emission computed tomography to scan activity as subjects were writing, in both dissociative trance and non-trance states. The complexity of the original written content they produced was analyzed for each individual and for the sample as a whole. The experienced psychographers showed lower levels of activity in the left culmen, left hippocampus, left inferior occipital gyrus, left anterior cingulate, right superior temporal gyrus and right precentral gyrus during psychography compared to their normal (non-trance) writing. The average complexity scores for psychographed content were higher than those for control writing, for both the whole sample and for experienced mediums. The fact that subjects produced complex content in a trance dissociative state suggests they were not merely relaxed, and relaxation seems an unlikely explanation for the underactivation of brain areas specifically related to the cognitive processing being carried out. This finding deserves further investigation both in terms of replication and explanatory hypotheses.

Diverse roles of the tumor necrosis factor family member TRANCE in skeletal physiology revealed by TRANCE deficiency and partial rescue by a lymphocyte-expressed TRANCE transgene

Tumor necrosis factor-related, activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), a tumor necrosis factor family member, mediates survival of dendritic cells in the immune system and is required for osteoclast differentiation and activation in the skeleton. We report the skeletal phenotype of TRANCE-deficient mice and its rescue by the TRANCE transgene specifically expressed in lymphocytes. TRANCE-deficient mice showed severe osteopetrosis, with no osteoclasts, marrow spaces, or tooth eruption, and exhibited profound growth retardation at several skeletal sites, including the limbs, skull, and vertebrae. These mice had marked chondrodysplasia, with thick, irregular growth plates and a relative increase in hypertrophic chondrocytes. Transgenic overexpression of TRANCE in lymphocytes of TRANCE-deficient mice rescued osteoclast development in two locations in growing long bones: excavation of marrow cavities permitting hematopoiesis in the marrow spaces, and remodeling of osteopetrotic woven bone in the shafts of long bones into histologically normal lamellar bone. However, osteoclasts in these mice failed to appear at the chondroosseous junction and the metaphyseal periosteum of long bones, nor were they present in tooth eruption pathways. These defects resulted in sclerotic metaphyses with persistence of club-shaped long bones and unerupted teeth, and the growth plate defects were largely unimproved by the TRANCE transgene. Thus, TRANCE-mediated regulation of the skeleton is complex, and impacts chondrocyte differentiation and osteoclast formation in a manner that likely requires local delivery of TRANCE.
