Developing capital and a sense of belonging among newly arrived migrants and refugees in Australian schools: a review of literature (El desarrollo de capital y del sentido de pertenencia entre los migrantes y refugiados recién llegados en las escuelas australianas: una revisión de la literatura)

This article grew out of an extensive piece of grounded theory research that explored students’ experiences of democratic education. A small democratic school in the south of England is used as a case study. Students in this school experienced a strong sense of belonging—to the school itself, with teachers, and with peers. This appeared to make a significant contribution to school outcomes. Data indicated that students’ sense of belonging was in part influenced by the democratic nature of the school, including its style of leadership. This resonated with existing literature. This article outlines key features of the school alongside empirical data about belongingness. A brief review of literature is provided. It concludes with a series of recommendations for practitioners.

Resumen: Tal como refiere Le Corbusier, la arquitectura es la expresión de nuestro tiempo, pero adicionalmente es también el reflejo de lo que somos como sociedad por lo tanto esta debe responder de manera responsable ante el tiempo, el contexto y la sociedad. El presente estudio pretende invitar a tomar una postura crítica en la concepción de arquitectura latinoamericana, y generar en lo posible una actividad reflexiva y de racionalidad autocritica en los hacedores de arquitectura. La metodología del estudio es de tipo documental no experimental, basadaen la revisión de literatura concerniente a filosofía de la ciencia y arquitectura. La investigación finaliza con la postura de que la reflexión de la arquitectura nos lleva a profundizar en la conciencia de las implicaciones de nuestro que hacer, siempre contextualizado y basado en los patrones de acontecimientos que le pueden generar un sentido de pertenencia y una calidad de vida a los seres humanos que la habiten. ___Palabras clave: cultura, racionalidad, arquitectura reflexiva, patrones, globalización. ___Abstract: As Le Corbusier said, architecture is the expression of our time, but additionally it is also a reflection of who we are as a society.

The present study is a systematic review of literature, with the objective to map the typology of conceptual studies about professional identity, as well as the used conceptual fields and the evidence therefrom resulting. The research was made within the electronic databases ISI web of Knowledge, EBSCO (Academic Search Complete, ERIC and Sport Discus) and B-On, between 2002 and 2011. The research equation was "Professional Identity" AND "Review", in the fields ‘abstract’, ‘topic’ and ‘title’ having been integrated 22 articles. The content analysis was the technique used, with the following categories defined a priori: i) typology studies; (ii) conceptual framework around the professional identity; iii) indications for future researches about teacher's identity. The results showed a marked increase of publications in 2011, in large professional areas (teachers and nurses) and in two main stages of development (the learning and professional process), as well as a strong conceptual positioning of authors in the perspective of symbolic interactionism and in post-modernity. It was also clear that the concept of professional identity fits simultaneously in individual (personal and social) and collective dimensions. Indeed, it involves the individual, his/her relationship with the other in a given context and his/her sense of belonging to a group. Regarding the proposals for future investigations, the researches with a qualitative nature (ethnographic and longitudinal) in work places prevails, with emphasis on the observation of dynamics established in communities of practice and its speeches (public and private), in a combination of micro and macro analysis.

Although the general ultrastructure of Cyanidium caldarium, an acidophilic, thermophilic alga of questionable taxonomic rank, has been extensively studied (see review of literature in reference 1), some peculiar ultrastructural features of the chloroplast of this alga have not been noted by other investigators.Cells were collected and prepared for thin sections at the Yellowstone National Park and were also grown in laboratory cultures (45-52°C; pH 2-5). Fixation (glutaraldehyde-osmium), dehydration (ethanol), and embedding (Epon 812) were accomplished by standard methods. Replicas of frozenfracture d- etched cells were obtained in a Balzers apparatus. In addition, cells were examined after disruption in a French Press.
