Se realizó un estudio para validar  las Escalas de Afrontamiento del Aburrimiento y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de Argentina  (BCS-AR).  La BCS-AR, adaptada al español, se aplicó a una muestra de estudiantes en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba  y la Universidad Tecnológica Nacional  (N = 250).  La consistencia interna se estimó mediante el alfa de Cronbach  (?).  Se obtuvo evidencia de la estructura interna al evaluar  y  comparar  tres  modelos  de  medición  de  estrategias  de afrontamiento  del  aburrimiento.  Se aportó  evidencia  de validez criterio mediante correlaciones bivariadas con valor de la tarea, atención, aburrimiento y disfrute académico.  Las escalas  demostraron  valores  aceptables  de  consistencia  interna   (?  =  .69  hasta  ?  =  .92).  El  modelo  de  cuatro  factores relacionados demostró un ajuste aceptable  (?2/df = 1.65, CFI = .95, GFI = .91, RMSEA = 0.051). La evidencia  test criterio se correspondió parcialmente con los resultados esperados. Se discuten los resultados en el marco de la teoría control -valor de las emociones de logro y del afrontamiento del aburrimiento.

Causes Of Poverty

From information supplied by 1,092 university students from countries with different levels of development, in this work we developed an up-to-date instrument to allow the causes of poverty in developing countries to be studied. Taking the Causes of Third World Poverty Questionnaire (CTWPQ; Harper, 2002), the most widely used instrument for this purpose as the starting point, and taking into account contributions made by other authors, The Causes of Poverty in Developing Countries Questionnaire (CPDCQ) was developed. It is an instrument of 20 items organized into 5 factors: “Blame causes within developing countries”, “Blame causes external to developing countries”, “Blame attributed to developing countries' populations”, “Blame attributed to developing countries' services”, and “Blame attributed to the poor distribution of land in developing countries”.

In this article,we classify the most common morphosyntactic mistakes that Spanish-speaking university students of French as a foreign language at level A2-B1 make when writing. We will focus solely onthe area of morphosyntaxas it is always where the most mistakes are made. Furthermore, we will discuss in more detail the issue of the agreement, as it is the most common error within our corpus. We conclude that the mispronunciation of the learners as well as bad reading habits couldbe the origin of a certain numberof morphological errors. Finally, we suggest some corrective practices aiming to reduce, or even eradicate, the detected errors: autocorrection, collective correction, and rereading En este artículo presentamos la clasificación de los errores morfosintácticos más frecuentes cometidos por los estudiantes universitarios hispanohablantes de francés lengua extranjera en sus producciones escritas. Solo consideramos el área morfosintáctica por ser esta la que reúne siempre más cantidad de errores. Asimismo, abordamos con más detenimiento la cuestión de la ausencia de concordancia, que es el error más común en nuestro corpus. Llegamos a la conclusión de que la pronunciación defectuosa de los alumnos, así como malos hábitos de lectura podrían ser una posible fuente de estos errores morfológicos. Finalmente, proponemos algunas prácticas correctivas con el fin de reducir, e incluso eliminar, los errores detectados: autocorrección, corrección colectiva y relectura.

As the Spanish-speaking population in the United States continues to grow, there is increasing need for culturally competent and linguistically appropriate treatment across the field of speech-language pathology. This paper reviews information relevant to the evaluation and treatment of Spanish-speaking and Spanish-English bilingual children with a history of cleft palate. The phonetics and phonology of Spanish are reviewed and contrasted with English, with a focus on oral pressure consonants. Cultural factors and bilingualism are discussed briefly. Finally, practical strategies for evaluation and treatment are presented. Information is presented for monolingual and bilingual speech-language pathologists, both in the community and on cleft palate teams.

This chapter looks at how José Antonio Echeverría, president of the Federación de Estudiantes Universitarios (Federation of University Students, FEU), prepared the public to back the violent overthrow of the regime that he and his FEU allies were secretly plotting by appealing to Cubans with the claim that an armed challenge to Batista's power could only renew and refresh the national collective union. Castro and his supporters took this argument several steps further, couching their own movement's already proven commitment to violence in discursive histrionics of “making love, not war” in defense of la patria. In adopting the prose and pose of reluctant revolutionaries who loved rather than hated, Echeverría, Castro, and their respective movements attempted to undercut the very claims Batista had made all along, since the very day of his coup.

ABSTRACTCreative strategies benefit the students in order to guide them to the achievement of a meaningful learning, because they help to a greater concentration by presenting the content of the class, understanding then the nature, reach and sequence of the information provided. The present field practice was carried out with a group of university students of the third semester of the Faculty of Languages at the Autonomous University of Baja California. Starting with the theme of motivation, five educational strategies are implemented to later know the perspective of the students through a survey.RESUMENLas estrategias creativas benefician a los alumnos para poder orientarlos al logro de un aprendizaje significativo, pues ayudan a una concentración mayor al presentar el contenido de la clase, comprendiendo entonces su naturaleza, alcance y secuencia de la información proporcionada. La presente práctica de campo fue realizada con un grupo de jóvenes universitarios de tercer semestre de la Facultad de Idiomas en la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. Partiendo con el tema de motivación, se implementaron cinco estrategias educativas para posteriormente conocer la perspectiva de los alumnos mediante una encuesta.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), is a rare disorder during childhood, and it can trigger serious consequences in the future if not treated promptly. The existing diagnostic methods for this disorder are found in the English language only, which leads to difficulties in finding valid and agreed diagnostic methods by speech therapists to apply to the Spanish-speaking population. Hence, this study aims to provide the translation of an evaluation tool which is suitable for Spanishspeaking countries and that facilitates phonoaudiological work in the diagnosis. The method that will be used is that of translation-retranslation, to which the analysis of an expert opinion will be incorporated to give validity to the instrument. The results expose a wide acceptance of the instrument (94% of positive results) with substantial agreement among experts (IRR inter rater reliability), presented as agreement probability for the entire instrument of 0.57 (57%). In conclusion, this study provides a research pattern for AHI, to facilitate the early phonoaudiological evaluation of children, allowing the patients to access reliable care regarding to diagnosis.
