En esta investigación el objectivo es observar la situación de la Educación Física (EF) como disciplina mediante una indagación basada en la experiencia y los conocimientos de los profesionales en activo. Se aplica un cuestionario ad hoc a 36 profesionales en activo (maestros especialistas en EF) que participan en el prácticum de la mención del alumnado de 4º curso del grado de maestro/a de Primaria para que manifiesten los problemas reales de enseñanza, así como la importancia y el impacto social que tiene la EF como materia educativa. Se pretende también compartir diferentes puntos de vista de los profesionales para hacer propuestas para mejorar la formación de los profesionales de EF. Como conclusiones del estudio, se observa que la mayoría optan por la motivación como factor y condición que promueve el éxito de la EF como materia curricular y creen que se debería potenciar el trabajo cooperativo. Las características más valoradas de los profesores y profesoras de EF son: saber trabajar en equipo EF y la utilización de proyectos de innovación educativa, flexibles y adaptados al contexto, lo que supone un aprendizaje significativo. Los profesionales consideran que se debe potenciar la motricidad aplicando metodologías activas, dinámicas y reflexivas y dan mucha importancia al aprendizaje continuo. Por tanto, se proponen cursos de formación y la realización de intercambios de experiencias.Abstract. The present study holds the objective to observe the current state of Physical Education (PE) as a discipline through research based on the experience and the knowledge of active professionals. An ad-hoc questionnaire was completed by 36 active professionals (specialist teachers in PE) who participate in the practicum of majors of PE in the 4th year of Primary Education Bachelor. The instrument intends to bring to light the real problems of teaching, as well as the importance and the social impact that PE has as an educational subject. It also aims to share different points of view of active professionals and make proposals to improve the training of PE professionals. As conclusions of the study, most consider motivation as a factor and condition to promote the success of PE as a curricular subject and believe that cooperative work should be encouraged. The most valued characteristics of PE teachers are: knowing how to work as a PE team and the use of educational innovation projects that are flexible and adapt to the context, resulting in significant learning. Professionals consider that motor skills should be enhanced by applying active, dynamic and reflective methodologies and give great importance to ongoing learning. Therefore, proposals include training courses and exchanges of experiences.

Severe Respiratory Illness

Chapter 6 explores the narratives of people who, due to vulnerabilities associated with their health status, including severe respiratory illness and HIV-positive serostatus, and because of coincident pregnancy, had to respond to the pandemic to protect themselves and unborn children. This chapter, therefore, addresses the importance of biography for understanding the social impact of pandemics. It shows how pandemics as historical events intersect with biographies and, from the point of view of individuals, cannot be meaningfully separated. This temporal intersectionality of pandemics and lived experiences is particularly well illuminated by a narrative approach. A feature of this chapter, too, is a focus on invisibility, that is, the ways in which being at risk was invisible to the “healthy” majority.

La danza como manifestación rítmico-expresiva presenta amplias posibilidades para la formación del alumnado desde un punto de vista integrador (plano físico, intelectual y emocional). Sin embargo, la utilización de este contenido en el contexto de la educación física actual sigue siendo escaso y puntual. El desconocimiento de las aportaciones de la danza al desarrollo integral de la persona, la consideración eminentemente femenina de esta actividad y/o la falta de formación del profesorado, son algunas de las razones que podrían justificar el desaprovechamiento de la danza como agente educativo de la expresión corporal. Con respecto a la falta de formación del profesorado, este trabajo tiene el propósito de responder a una serie de interrogantes relacionados con el cómo enseñar danzas: ¿qué métodos pedagógicos son los más adecuados? ¿cualquier tipo de danza es idónea para trabajar en el aula? ¿cómo utilizar correctamente los elementos básicos del ritmo en las diferentes propuestas danzadas?.Palabra clave: Educación Física. Expresión Corporal. Danza.Abstract: Dance as a rhythmic-expressive content presents ample opportunities for the training of students from an inclusive point of view (level of physical, intellectual and emotional). However, the use of this content or treatment in the context of physical education is limited or ad hoc. The ignorance of the contributions of dance to develop the whole person, considering this activity mainly women and/or lack of teacher training are some of the reasons that might justify the waste of dance as an educational agent of body expression. With regard to the lack of teacher training, the work presented below is intended to answer a series of questions related to how to teach dance: what methodology is appropriate?, any kind of dance is suitable to work in the classroom?, how to properly use the basic elements of rhythm in the proposals danced?.Key words: Physical Education.

Actualmente, vivimos en una sociedad cada vez más digital, donde las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) están provocando un impacto en todos los niveles, también en el educativo. La escuela debe asumir el reto de integrar eficazmente las TIC, promoviendo situaciones enriquecidas con tecnologías en las que la metodología constituya el factor clave de los procesos de innovación educativa. La escuela rural debe hacer frente para ello a las desigualdades existentes, con el firme propósito de superarlas. Desde esta perspectiva, el artículo presenta un estudio descriptivo del uso que en las escuelas rurales de la Región de Murcia se hace de las TIC. La metodología escogida es la mixta, y la recogida de información se ha realizado a través de un cuestionario ad hoc construido para la investigación. Con los resultados obtenidos, hemos podido conocer las necesidades en la disponibilidad de recursos, y el uso didáctico que hacen de las TIC los docentes de los colegios rurales agrupados (CRA) en la Región de Murcia, constatando que aún les cuesta dejar atrás metodologías tradicionales para dar paso a la innovación educativa, a través de tecnologías emergentes. Today, we live in an increasingly digital society, where Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are causing an impact at all ranges, in the educative even. The school must take on the challenge of effectively integrating ICT, promoting situations enriched with technologies in which methodology was the key factor in educational innovation processes. Rural schools must take up this challenge, assuming existing inequalities, but with the firm intention of overcoming them. From this perspective, the article presents a descriptive study of the use of ICT in rural schools in the Region of Murcia. The methodology chosen is mixed, and the collection of information has been carried out through an ad hoc questionnaire constructed for research. From the analysis of data, we have been able to know the needs in the availability of resources, and the didactic use that the teachers of the rural schools grouped together in the Region of Murcia make of the ICT, confirming that it is still difficult for them to leave behind traditional methodologies to give way to the educational innovation, through emerging technologies.

Summary This paper analyses the current position of physical culture in the society. It points out the social changes that have substantially suppressed the term physical education and replaced it with the phrase, physical education and sport. In the light of need to reinstate this term into the professional discourse, there was a reminder of the importance and the social scientific contribution to creation of the Theory of physical culture by Milivoje Matić. The critical analysis of the current state of physical education was also conducted. In order to improve physical education classes, a new paradigm of physical education, that will be based on installation of the functional system of physical education and curriculum reform, has to be created. New physical education paradigm signalizes the return to the physical culture - following in professor Matić’s footsteps.

Political Groups

In many ways the study of political groups from a theoretical point of view can be said not to have progressed much beyond the conceptions of Arthur F. Bentley. There have been countless studies of political groups, to be sure, but it seems most have been little more than the collection and presentation of ad hoc facts obtained from the testing of ad hoc hypotheses, the concepts of “group” and of “group behavior” having been little altered in the process.Much of the difficulty no doubt stems from Bentley's strict empiricism and the interpretation given his position by most social scientists who have aspired to translate him. When Bentley said that we know nothing of ideas and feelings but only of activity, he was merely reminding the social scientist to remain close to the operations of the phenomena he was studying. Activity, or behavior, can be worked with and studied directly, but it is questionable whether or not the same can be said of ideas and feelings. Scientific progress, Bentley would say, can be made only if one deals with what is visible and replicable. Critics as well as followers of Bentley, however, have interpreted him to mean that such matters as subjectivity are outside the pale of science, since subjectivity is presumed to be private, idiosyncratic, and nonreplicable.

Who became protestant in sixteenth-century France? This question has long exercised historians. A contemporary, La Popelinière, himself a huguenot, pointed to the varied attractions of the reformation for the politically ambitious and for the socially and economically underprivileged. Moving on to the beginning of this century, Henri Hauser postulated a protestantism dominated by artisans and the lower urban classes, although he later emphasised the appeal of the new religion to all social groups, a point of view endorsed by Lucien Romier and E. G. Léonard. Despite the political and military significance of the adherence of both some high court nobles and lesser rural hobereaux, it is nevertheless clear that Calvinism was predominantly and intentionally an urban phenomenon; Genevan missionaries were directed primarily to the cities and towns, though there were some notable exceptions such as the Cévennes area in southern France. It is, however, possible to advance from these rather cautious generalizations and to ask whether the social and economic profile of those who converted to Calvinism reflects that of the French people as a whole or whether there is some special relationship between status and religion, and whether there is any regional differentiation. Some of the answers, which in the current state of research must remain tentative, may be drawn from lists of huguenots drawn up by judicial and municipal authorities in the course of the civil wars. These lists provide, as Jean Delumeau has recently pointed out, a marvellous introduction to the sociology of French protestantism and indeed, one of the few ways of approaching the issue. Very few registers of the état-civil of protestant churches survive from the sixteenth century and those that do often fail to note occupational status. Lists of refugees in Geneva and elsewhere offer some evidence from a protestant point of view, but are distorted by a number of factors and may be unreliable in respect of geographical distribution and occupations.

I-CARE is a hand-held activation system that allows professional and informal caregivers to cognitively and socially activate people with dementia in joint activation sessions without special training or expertise. I-CARE consists of an easy-to-use tablet application that presents activation content and a server-based backend system that securely manages the contents and events of activation sessions. It tracks various sources of explicit and implicit feedback from user interactions and different sensors to estimate which content is successful in activating individual users. Over the course of use, I-CARE’s recommendation system learns about the individual needs and resources of its users and automatically personalizes the activation content. In addition, information about past sessions can be retrieved such that activations seamlessly build on previous sessions while eligible stakeholders are informed about the current state of care and daily form of their protegees. In addition, caregivers can connect with supervisors and professionals through the I-CARE remote calling feature, to get activation sessions tracked in real time via audio and video support. In this way, I-CARE provides technical support for a decentralized and spontaneous formation of ad hoc activation groups and fosters tight engagement of the social network and caring community. By these means, I-CARE promotes new care infrastructures in the community and the neighborhood as well as relieves professional and informal caregivers.

Body Expression

Hace más de 350.000 años, el ser humano comenzó a expresar ideas, sentimientos y emociones a través de las posibilidades motrices de su cuerpo; por aquel entonces centradas en gestos, danzas y rituales religiosos. Si bien la expresión corporal comprende un abanico mucho más amplio de prácticas y modalidades, en los últimos años el ser humano ha adoptado nuevas formas de expresión vehiculadas a través de internet, popularizando y extendiendo, entre otros, los denominados retos virales por todo el mundo. La asignatura de Educación Física, que en las últimas décadas ha experimentado una revolución en términos didácticos y de otros bloques de contenido, debe mantenerse también actualizada en las distintas posibilidades de trabajo de la expresividad humana. Por lo tanto, el propósito de este trabajo es hacer una revisión de los recursos emergentes que internet aporta así como las posibilidades que subyacen en las redes sociales para abordar de forma novedosa algunos elementos de la expresión corporal en los centros educativos. Estas propuestas tecnológicas son populares, significativas y auténticas. Sin embargo, se apuntan sugerencias metodológicas al objeto de implementar estos recursos expresivos en el aula desde un punto de vista educativo.Abstract: Human beings began expressing ideas, feelings, and emotions through their bodies’ motor abilities more than 350.000 years ago. In the beginning, they did it through gestures, dances and religious rituals. Nowadays there is a much wider range of practices, and in the last years people have started expressing themselves through internet with challenges and viral trends. Physical education, which has experienced important didactic and content changes, must be updated with the different strategies to work on human expressiveness. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to review new resources taken from the internet and potential approaches within the social medias to address expressiveness in schools in an innovative way. These emerging proposals are popular, meaningful, and authentic. Nevertheless, methodological suggestions are included in order to implement these expressive resources in the classroom from an educational point of view.

Debates on whether or not depleted uranium (DU) causes cancer and other diseases is a hot topic in the public discourse and quite controversial in the scholarly research literature. The issue has grown in importance in the Republic of Serbia after increased rates of morbidity and mortality from malignancies since the 1999 NATO aggression and its use of DU ammunition. At the same time, the fact that the peacekeeping contingents of foreign military personnel involved in clearing the contaminated areas subsequently developed malignant diseases led to what has become known as the Balkan Syndrome. Beside health implications, the social and economic burden of cancer is significant in all countries, especially in transitioning economies, because of health care spending as well as lost productivity due to morbidity and premature death. Therefore, the main aims of this article are to summarize and discuss the current state of knowledge about the negative impact of DU on human health and social impact of cancer, specifically in Serbia, and to encourage rigorous and objective examination of health impacts of DU ammunition and, ultimately, to spotlight the inextricable connection between public health and security, and the indispensable consideration of health from the perspective of national security.
