En noviembre de 2018, los autores del artículo cumplirán veinte años de vinculación con la Universidad de Granada. Desde el principio, como profesores de la asignatura de Proyectos en la Escuela de Arquitectura, planteamos la necesidad de hacer un registro científico-proyectual de la arquitectura y los paisajes que construyen las diversas culturas de Marruecos. El programa genérico denominado Latitudes, sirve para posicionar al estudiante en el reconocimiento de lo diverso que emana del reconocimiento de las prácticas culturales ligadas al territorio ocupado por los grupos humanos que lo habitan y que en el país vecino se manifiesta de manera evidente. Lo que a continuación se presenta es una síntesis de algunos de esos trabajos realizados entre 2013 y 2018. Una síntesis que muestra de las diferentes vías e intereses perseguidos en las distintas situaciones abordadas. Trabajos cuyo valor reside en la reflexión atenta y desprejuiciada de lo que significa la intervención contemporánea sobre el patrimonio y la obligación de protegerlo, conservarlo y ponerlo en valor.In november 2018, the authors of the article will celebrate twenty years of collaboration with the University of Granada. From the beginning, as professors of Projects course in the School of Architecture, we raised the need to make a scientific-design record of the architecture and landscapes which build the diverse cultures of Morocco. The generic program called Latitudes, serves to face the students with the recognition of the diversity that comes from the recognition of cultural practices linked to the territory occupied by its inhabitants, which is obvious in this neighboring country. What follows is a synthesis of some of those works carried out between 2013 and 2018. A synthesis that shows the different ways and interests pursued in the different situations addressed. Works whose value lies in the careful and unprejudiced reflection of what contemporary intervention on heritage means and the obligation to protect it, preserve it and value it.

A demonstration vegetable garden was constructed for students in elementary, middle and high schools to expose them to agricultural science. On Charter Day, a University-wide celebration, students were invited to the garden on the University campus. The purpose of this project was twofold: (1) for participants to learn how to make a garden and (2) for visitors to see a variety of available crops and cultural techniques. Approximately 30 vegetable crops were grown. The garden also presented some cultural practices to improve plant development, which included weed control by solarization, mulching, a drip irrigation system, staking, shading and crop cover. Different types of compost bins were shown and various nitrogen-fixing legumes were displayed as useful hedge plants for the garden.

The UNESCO World Heritage city of Évora (Portugal) hosted the second Heritales – International Heritage Film Festival in September 2017. In this edition the festival focused on current and past sustainable communities, selecting works that explored and problematized the relationship and coexistence of modernity and sustainability when applied to human groups and societies. The films presented the everyday life, knowledge, crafts and know-how of ordinary people highlighting the changes and challenges that the expansion of consumer-based economies, globalization and world politics have brought. As organizers, by focusing on sustainability in heritage context, we wanted to go beyond current preservation strategies of the tangible and intangible heritage, to promote a reflection on the “culture of sustainability” itself, looking at how sustainable ways-of-existence have characterized various communities and cultural practices worldwide. Since its first edition, the festival has been a space for the promotion of a critical understanding of cultural heritage, aimed to the broader public. By using emblematic historical places as stage, Heritales has challenged the mainstream cultural heritage scientific communication. Its proposal is to approach heritage’s issues through multiple types of media and artistic work such as films and documentaries but also cultural heritage’s games, exhibitions, theatre and performance, with talks and several communication strategies to facilitate the encounter between the authors and the public. Although the festival has received many positive feedbacks and the support of various entities such as the UNESCO Chair of the University of Évora (Portugal) and the FCT (Science and Technology Foundation, Portugal) it is still at its early stage of action. In this paper we would like to present the results of our experiment and analyse its concept and results, so that more collaborative and sustainable methodologies can also become a part of our plan of actionfor the organization of future events.

El estudio de los perfiles motivacionales proporciona información detallada sobre los hábitos de los grupos de personas hacia la práctica de la actividad física, permitiendo poder fomentar una motivación más positiva y conseguir una mayor adherencia a la práctica. Así el objetivo de este estudio ha sido clarificar cuáles son las motivaciones frente a la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva de una muestra de jóvenes universitarios, incidiendo especialmente en las actividades náuticas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1011 estudiantes de la Universidad de Almería (España). El instrumento utilizado fue el cuestionario de hábitos físicos-deportivos y de práctica de deportes náuticos. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan que los principales motivos para desarrollar la práctica deportiva fueron la flexibilidad horaria y una adecuada a la disponibilidad de su tiempo libre, seguido de la cercanía a su domicilio de las instalaciones. Otros motivos son por diversión, o estar con su grupo de amigos. Respecto a las actividades náuticas, se decide practicar o no sólo porque les gustan, seguido del interés por estar en contacto con el medio natural y acuático. Las modalidades náuticas más practicadas son el piragüismo y la natación. En relación al abandono de la práctica deportiva, claramente se produce por la falta de tiempo por el estudio o el trabajo. Es evidente que la falta de tiempo por los estudios o por el trabajo, perjudica gravemente la adherencia a la actividad física, pero existen porcentajes muy altos de personas (62%) que admiten no practicar por pereza y desgana, por lo que se deben buscar nuevas estrategias de motivación para que aumente la adherencia a la actividad físico deportiva.Palabras clave: Motivación, práctica de actividad física y deportiva, actividades náuticas, hábitos físicos y deportivos, universitarios. Motivations of the University students in the physical and sports practice of free time. The nautical activitiesABSTRACTThe study of motivational profiles provides detailed information on the habits of groups of people to the practice of physical activity, allowing fostering a more positive motivation and achieving greater adherence to practice. So the aim of this study was to clarify the motivations are against the practice of physical and sporting a sample of university students, with special emphasis on water sports activity. The sample consisted of 1011 students from the University of Almeria (Spain). The instrument used was the questionnaire physical - sporting habits and water sports. The results indicate that the main reasons for developing sport and flexible hours were adequate to the availability of leisure, followed by proximity to your home facilities. Other reasons are for fun, or to be with his Universitarios y actividades náuticas © Psy, Soc, & Educ, 2016, Vol. 8(3) 230 friends. Concerning water activities, it was decided not to practice or just because they like them, followed by the wish to be in contact with the natural aquatic environment. The most practiced nautical activities are canoeing and swimming. In relation to the abandonment of the sport is clearly caused by the lack of time for study or work. Clearly the lack of time for study or work, seriously undermines adherence to physical activity, but there are very high percentages (62 %) who admit no laziness and unwillingness to practice, so you should seek new motivational strategies to increase adherence to physical activity sports.Keywords: Motivation; practice of physical and sports activity; nautical activities; Physical and sports habits; university student.

This chapter examines the emergence of the global artistic-entrepreneurial university, the increasing importance of interdisciplinary and innovative pedagogies, and how these new emphases are shaping institutional change. The first section analyzes the global university as an “assemblage,” a process that gathers ideas, materialities, digitized platforms, and human beings into a new form of higher education. Because of the impacts on higher education of the flows of capital, technology, people, and cultural practices in both the “East” and the “West,” this form of the university transcends regional and national boundaries as it builds networks of learning around the world. The second section of the chapter focuses on the increasing importance of interdisciplinarity and developing active and integrative pedagogies organized around fundamental skills and questions. In order to ground the discussion in particular sites, the authors use examples from the University of Hong Kong’s new Core Curriculum and from the University of Washington Bothell’s Discovery Core for first-year students. In the final section, the chapter addresses what the next steps might look like as institutions change themselves to fit a globalized context. This section returns to the idea of the global university as a “hub of an ecology of studio-labs” (Parks, 2005, p. 57) and suggest that the “managerial” university is transitioning into a more flexible model of the “artistic-entrepreneurial” university in order to prosper in an extremely competitive and generative global environment.

Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2003. xx + 413 pp. (Paper US$ 38.00)Ethnographic objects behave in curious ways. Although they clearly are “our constructions,” field sites and even topically circumscribed (rather than spatially delimited) ethnographic problems lead double lives: places and problems change not merely because they factually undergo historical changes, but because researchers come to them from historically no less changeable epistemic vantage points. One can imagine generational cohorts of ethnographers marching across the same geographically or thematically defined terrain and seeing different things – not just because of substantial changes that have factually occurred, but because they have come to ask different questions. The process obviously has its dialectical moments. The figures we inscribe in writing from fleeting observations (based on changing theoretical conceptions) are no less subject to history than the empirical grounds from which our discursive efforts call them forth. The result is a curious imbrication of partially autonomous, but also partly overlapping, historicities of lives and texts which, at times, are more difficult to keep apart than it would seem at first glance. At least in the study of Afro-Cuban religious culture, the two practical and discursive fields – one circumscribed by the practical, but perhaps misleading label “Afro-Cuban religion,”1 and the other designated by whatever term one might like to affix to the study of it – cannot be easily separated: much as in the Brazilian case (Braga 1995, Capone 1999, Matory 1999, 2001), practitioners of Afro-Cuban religions and their ethnographers have engaged each other in a dialogue since at least the second decade of the twentieth century. That it took us so long to understand this fact has much to do with the way both “Afro-Cuban religion” and “Afro-Cuban ethnography” originally (and lastingly) became discursively objectified: the former largely under the sign of a search for “authentically African” elements in New World cultural practices, the second as an instrument for “verifying” (and thereby authorizing) such “Africanisms” (Scott 1991).

Abstract The tadpole shrimp [Triops longicaudatus (Leconte)] has emerged as a significant pest of rice grown in California in recent decades. The change in T. longicaudatus’ pest status has coincided with changes in cultural management of residual rice straw postharvest. Policy changes have reduced the postharvest burning of fields from nearly 95% to less than 10%, promoting increased use of winter flooding as a means of accelerating straw decomposition. Field and laboratory trials were conducted from 2015 to 2017 at the Rice Experiment Station in Biggs, CA and in greenhouses at the University of California (UC) Davis to evaluate the effects of burning, flooding, and a fallow control on T. longicaudatus population dynamics. Experiments demonstrated that burning of rice straw failed to suppress densities of hatching T. longicaudatus and actually had the reverse effect, causing a 51% increase in numbers hatching, perhaps as a result of burning triggering termination of multiyear T. longicaudatus egg dormancy. Winter flooding had no measurable effect on T. longicaudatus hatch. Thus, these changes in winter cultural practices do not appear to be responsible for the emergence of T. longicaudatus as a major rice pest.

Organic production of vegetable and fruit crops in Kentucky is gaining ground. Acreage and grower numbers are increasing. Health concerns and certain economic advantages for the grower are the impetus for rise in organic production. There is a need to collate cultural practice information and present it in a usable form for Kentucky. Work is being done to consolidate information on cultural practices, current research, and marketing opportunities. To address these concerns, older extension horticultural publications are being amended and new bulletins are being written. To accomplish this, grower meetings, farm visits, scouting for problems in crops, conducting research, and sifting through literature are some of the steps being taken. The greater implementation of cultural practices such as rotations, cover crops, green manures, living mulches, and minimum tillage are helping to reduce dependence on chemical sprays, chemical fertilizers, and soil destroying practices. Through this liaison, we are bringing together a new group of agricultural producers with interdepartmental specialists within the university and new insights and partnerships are being forged.

Resumen: La evaluación en las Facultades de Formación del Profesorado supone la creencia de que la forma es el contenido, y que los que nos movemos en este tipo de entornos formativos disponemos de mayores y mejores recursos para afrontar la evaluación en la universidad. Sin embargo, la evaluación como objeto de estudio requiere, en esta o en cualquier otra institución educativa la recopilación de evidencias conforme da respuesta a una necesidad, y se adecua a un determinado contexto. En este trabajo se presenta el recorrido que ha realizado un grupo de innovación consolidado en evaluación formativa en la docencia universitaria de la Universidad de Barcelona, para llevar adelante sus sistemas de evaluación en diferentes grupos y asignaturas. Ciertamente, sus integrantes forman parte de estudios vinculados a la Formación de Maestros de Educación Primaria, pero no por ello se han formado o disponen de recursos que avalen una evaluación formativa, formadora, democrática y emancipadora como se requiere en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. En primer lugar se presentan unas breves pinceladas de lo que supone innovar en la docencia universitaria, y de la evaluación como objeto de innovación. A continuación se exponen las diferentes líneas de trabajo llevadas a cabo hasta el momento, y sobre todo, y lo más importante, a modo de conclusiones, se muestran las opiniones de los participantes en la experiencia, sobre el papel que juegan los grupos de innovación en el desarrollo profesional de los docentes. The formative assessment as innovation. Formative and shared assessment experiences in a Faculty of Teacher Training Abstract: For many people the assessment in Faculties of Teacher Training supposes the belief that form is content, and that those of us who move in this type of formative environments have more and better resources to deal with the assessment in faculty. However the assessment as object of study requires in this or in any other educational institution the gathering of evidences as a response to a need and as adaptation in a given context. In this paper we present the trajectory that has made a consolidated innovation group in formative assessment in university teaching at the University of Barcelona, in order to further their assessment systems in different groups and subjects. It is true that its members are part of studies related to Teacher Training in Primary Education, although it does not mean that they have been trained or they have the resources to endorse a formative, democratic and emancipatory assessment as required in the European Higher Education Area. First we present a brief summery of what is innovation in university teaching, and assessment as an object of innovation. Then we explain the different lines of work carried out so far. Above all and most importantly we expose, by means of conclusion, what the group members consider that happens to those who live with innovation throughout their teaching.

El universo construido por los pacientes politraumatizados a los que se le diagnostique estado de choque hemorrágico traumático clase II y III. Se incluyeron 64 pacientes de 15 a 60 años de edad. Ambos tratamientos se aplicaron de forma intravenosa, a dosis según requerimiento del paciente. Se aplicaron las Normas Nacionales e Internacionales de Buenas Prácticas Clínicas. Para determinar la eficacia se realizó la prueba unilateral de equivalencia de las proporciones a la variable principal del estudio: (respuesta clínica). La seguridad del   tratamiento fue evaluada a través del tipo e intensidad del evento adverso y su relación de causalidad con el tratamiento recibido. Los grupos resultaron ser homogéneos en cuanto a las características de base estudiadas, las que no mostraron influencia en la respuesta al tratamiento. El análisis con los pacientes que completaron el período de tratamiento con ClNa 7.5% Hemoest tuvieron una evolución satisfactoria y se concluyó que es más efectivo y seguro a las dosis según el esquema de administración aplicados en el estudio que el tratamiento utilizado en como control.

Denne artikel beskæftiger sig med social ulighed på lange videregående uddannelser i Danmark. Ved at betragte de interne forskelle i det danske universitetsfelt undersøges omfanget og karakteren af den sociale differentiering på de lange videregående uddannelser. For at forstå disse sociale differentieringsprocesser anlægges et henholdsvis makro- og mikrosociologisk perspektiv på betydningen af social klasse og kulturel praksis på uddannelserne, og der stilles det overordnede spørgsmål: Hvad er sammenhængen mellem unges valg af videregående uddannelse, deres sociale oprindelse og de kulturelle praktikker på de forskellige videregående uddannelser? Empirien udgøres af såvel registerdata som af feltarbejde på tre udvalgte universitetsuddannelser, og der bruges følgelig såvel kvantitative som kvalitative metoder. Analysen af universitetsfeltet viser at der er meget stor forskel på de forskellige uddannelsers sociale profil, at der er en tydelig klassestruktur i det danske universitetsfelt, at den kulturelle praksis der kendetegner udvalgte uddannelser kan forstås meningsfuldt i sammenhæng med denne klassestruktur, og endelig at det kræver bestemte forudsætninger at mestre kulturen på de forskellige uddannelser. Søgeord: Social differentiering, social klasse, videregående uddannelser, universitetsstuderende, uddannelseskultur, uddannelsesvalg. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Jens Peter Thomsen: Social Class and Culture in Danish Universities In this article I address the question of social inequality in higher education. By looking at the horizontal stratification in the Danish university field I examine the extent and nature of the processes of social differentiation within the different university programs. In order to understand the processes of differentiation, a macro- and micro-sociological perspective on the significance of social class and cultural practice in the university programs is applied. The main question is: What is the relationship between young people’s choice of university program, social class origin and the cultural practices in the different university programs? National register data as well as fieldwork carried out in three different university programs make up the empirical basis of the research, and both quantitative and qualitative methods are applied. The analysis of the university field shows that: A) The university field is highly structured by social class, B) there are great differences in the class characteristics of the student body in the different programs, C) the class structure in the university field is closely related to the cultural practices characterizing specific programs, and finally, D) that students from certain social backgrounds are better prepared than other students for the practical mastery of these cultural practices. Key words: Higher education, social class, horizontal stratification, university students, educational cultures, choice of higher education.
