<p><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>La educación universitaria, el acceso al campo laboral y la formación en feminismo y género se han considerado como condiciones fundamentales que han dado lugar a la emancipación femenina. Por ello, la presente investigación tuvo como objeto analizar la experiencia de las mujeres académicas- feministas de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid por medio de cinco entrevistas con docentes investigadoras que laboran en dicha institución. Se encontró que aún persisten las problemáticas de las desigualdades de género; y aunque actualmente han encontrado mecanismos para invisibilizarse; las principales complicaciones continúan recayendo en la falta de apoyo institucional para sobrellevar la doble jornada de trabajo, la inequitativa repartición de los puestos directivos y el acoso laboral con base en la condición de género.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>University education, access to the labor field and training in feminism and gender have been considered as fundamental conditions that have led to female emancipation. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to analyze the experience of academic-feminists women of the Complutense University of Madrid throughout five interviews with professors-researchers who work in this institution. We have found that problems of gender inequalities persist; and although currently they have found mechanisms to make themselves invisible; the main complications still fall in the lack of institutional support to cope with the double shift, the unequal distribution of managerial positions and harassment based on gender.</p>

Dhofar region in southern Oman possesses a wealth of livestock. This wealth is managed traditionally by different Dhofari groups in a distinct landscape and ecological conditions. By the seventies, development addressed all aspects of live in the Sultanate. Education turned out to be a prime objective in development plans. In Dhofar, young generations of pastoralists found their way into education. It is known that the route of education starts directly from primary school level to the university level. Consequently, theoretical university education detach and disengage young Dhofaris from their forefathers’ traditional profession and most of all their wealth. Dhofar’s livestock is unequivocally a national wealth that needs to be invested and developed by young Dhofari generations, trained in modern scientific management in order to investment in Dhofar’s livestock . Therefore, it is a call for a focused education and training to address the potential of the region and its wealth. The paper attempts to draw attention to a situation which is taking place in Dhofar region and proposes certain recommendations.

Object Of Study

Care work encompasses a series of tasks of distinct social and economic importance; however, it has not been a traditional object of study in Economics. The main objective of this article is to analyze the factors that intervene in informal care work in Spain. To approach this, an econometric analysis will be conducted using the National Health Survey (ENS as its Spanish acronym) carried out by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) of Spain. The results show that, in Spain, dependent adults do not receive the institutional support they need to perform basic daily activities. In fact, practically all of the care they receive is informal. This article will demonstrate that, within the household, women are responsible for informal care work whenever a family member is in need of such services. Our research shows that this is a consistent pattern regardless of the carer’s personal characteristics and level of education as well as the characteristics of the dependent adult living in the household. These findings reveal the necessity of reorienting public policies in order to help reduce gender inequalities caused by this socio-economic reality.

Women participation and empowerment are fundamental women's rights to enabling women to have control over their lives and put forth influence in society. Women often face discrimination and gender inequalities, with some women experiencing multiple discrimination and exclusion because of factors such as background or caste. This paper is dealth skills development through vocational training along with various measures such as Pradahan Mantri Kausal Vikas Yojna, National Skills Development Corporation, National Skills Development Mission. Ministry of Labor and Employment has taken a number of initiatives in the field of skill development and employment. For instance, training of trainers, Vocational Training for girls is being conducted by Advanced Training Institutes and Regional Vocational Training Institutes run by the Ministry. Vocational Education and training are essential mechanism of any strategy to improve farm and nonfarm productivity that improves rural incomes. Skill is the bridge between job and workforce. Women often have different training needs than men, since they are more likely to work as contributing family workers, subsistence farmers, home-based micro entrepreneurs, or low-paid seasonal laborers, in addition to handling their domestic work and care responsibilities. Skills development is a key to improving household productivity, employability and income-earning opportunities for women and also for enhancing sustainable rural development and livelihoods.

We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. The authors understand that university education should embrace the keys to this scenario and do so immediately. Considering this fact, new university teaching should be supported by technological immersion, but also by a culture of proactivity and training in values. The third of these pillars achieves an unimaginable relevance in regards to this emerging industrial revolution, which aims to become the revolution of values. Within this context, the university must move into the practice of ethical values and offer training based on soft skills. Moreover, there is a path that links ethics with soft skills based on the synergy between the two. From this idea, the central objectives of this work are to propose a university model for educational innovation based on values that also includes the tools for its implementation. The chapter ends with a practical case for implementing the model at the fablab that the University of Extremadura has available for its students majoring in Information Technology Engineering.

AbstractDespite the academy’s commitment to the idea of meritocratic and fair principles in recruitments, promotions, student admissions and progress, gender segregation and gender inequalities continue to trouble universities worldwide. Through case-studies of two education programs at a Swedish university, we investigate how processes of formal merit, both formal (required for admission such as high grades) and what we identify as informal merit (needing to act in particular ways once admitted) work to obviate or reproduce gender-segregation. We analyze how everyday gendering processes in the classroom play a central role in what gets constructed as merit. Changing notions of merit during the period of study can hamper possibilities for ending gender segregation in HE or open up for ways to circumvent it. We show that a complex and ongoing construction of informal merit can restrain students from minority groups (in relation to gender, but also ethnic background, socioeconomic position, or sexuality) to enter, and importantly, remain in the program. At the same time, new ways of addressing the subject itself provides potential openings. We argue that in order to achieve gender balance at universities, it is urgent to understand how informal and formal merit interplay once students have joined the university and importantly also when they have made the leap and broken with gender segregated education choices.

Progresivamente el emprendimiento ha adquirido cada vez mayor relevancia como estrategia para la superación de la pobreza de las mujeres. No obstante, en términos comparativos, las experiencias de emprendimiento de las mujeres se caracterizan por desigualdades de género respecto de las experiencias de emprendimiento de los hombres, las cuales se relacionan con la desigual distribución del trabajo de cuidados entre ellos/as. En virtud de la relevancia que las emprendedoras brindan al trabajo de cuidados, la presente investigación, realizada en el marco del proceso de titulación de un magíster de género (2018-2019), tiene por finalidad indagar en dichas experiencias, y su relación con sus emprendimientos, a través de la perspectiva de la economía feminista. Para ello, se utiliza un enfoque metodológico cualitativo y como técnica de recolección de datos entrevistas semi-estructuradas a emprendedoras participantes de un programa de gobierno, ejecutado por una ONG de la ciudad de Valparaíso (Chile). Entre los principales resultados del estudio cabe destacar el énfasis en la sostenibilidad de vida por parte de las emprendedoras, fisurando con ello el mandato del empresario de sí. -- Entrepreneurship has progressively acquired greater relevance as a strategy for overcoming women's poverty. However, in comparative terms, women's entrepreneurial experiences are characterized by gender inequalities with respect to men's entrepreneurial experiences, which are related to the unequal distribution of care work among them. In view of the relevance that women entrepreneurs give to care work, this research aims to investigate these experiences, in relation to their entrepreneurship, through the perspective of the feminist economy. To this end, a qualitative methodological approach is used, as well as semi-structured interviews with women entrepreneurs participating in a government program, executed by an NGO in the city of Valparaiso (Chile), as a data collection technique. Among the main results of the study is the emphasis on life sustainability by the entrepreneurs, thus cracking the mandate of the entrepreneur himself.

New virtual learning environments for educational innovation at the university of the present-future--EVAINU--is a research project financed by the Autonomous University of Barcelona as part of its support for emerging research groups. The project came about as a result of the growing presence of the ICTs in the higher education system and has focused on identifying typical cases, which use these media at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) involving some form of curricular innovation or improvement in accordance with the European convergence processes, which the Spanish university system is currently undergoing. As a result, three case studies of different qualifications were carried out in order to investigate their potential for improving university education. One of these cases--Virtual Veterinary Science--is described in this study. Among the preliminary results of this research so far, of particular interest is the fact that while the ICTs are clearly an important opportunity to make a qualitative leap and to go beyond teaching outlooks based on exposition, passive reception, and memorising, more institutional support is necessary in terms of working strategies, which promote new ways of organising teaching, the development of ICT skills among teaching staff and students, and the creation of incentives for teacher training, among other initiatives.

A longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the effects of education and training and early role socialisation upon police recruit attitudes. Attitude dimensions of conservatism were assessed during a preservice university semester, at the end of police academy training and following nine and 24 months police service. Multiple regression and analyses of variance revealed that the university education program had a minor effect on attitudes but subsequent exposure to the police academy and the job of policing has a more substantial and deliberalising effect. In particular, attitudes towards gays, the treatment of sex offenders and attitudes towards youth discipline and punishment became more conservative as a result of socialisation at the police academy and on the job. Results indicate a general move towards moreconservative attitudes as a result of socialisation.
