Pedagogical Models

The objective of this article is to compare two antagonistic pedagogical models such as the beginnings of Escuela del Mar (1922), directed by Pere Vergés, and Escuela 26 de enero (1943) directed by Enric Gibert, in full francoism. The centers, in Barcelona, were in contact with nature.The first was located on the Barceloneta beach, and the second in the Guinardó neighborhood, where it is still located. From a methodology focused on the analysis of dimensions and study variables, differences, and similarities of the two centers in the initial moments of their creation are highlighted. For this, the treatment of primary documentary sources –periodic and non-periodic publications– has been used, together with the analysis of images of the time. Secondary sources contextualize all argumentative text. It is proved that both models promoted a way in principle hygienic-medical to see education, although in the case of Escuela del Mar there appeared a philosophy related to the students and the ideas of the New School and, instead, to Escuela 26 de enero, although there are also glimpses of pedagogical renewal activities, there is a Catholic and authoritarian model of submission of the child and, in short, of indoctrination, much more significant.

Military Perspective

As a Communist state bordering Vietnam, China actively supported Ho Chi Minh’s wars against France in 1950–1954 and then America in 1965–1970. This book uses new Communist sources to offer an unprecedented Chinese military perspective on the Vietnam War. By documenting the level of Chinese military assistance to Vietnam, it reveals the extent to which the Chinese support of Ho’s military and political objective in the wars was a crucial and indispensable factor in North Vietnam’s victory. The study offers an overview and the particulars of Chinese aid to Ho’s army, or PAVN, in terms of training, weaponry, logistics, advisors, and technology during its transformative years of 1950–1956 in depth and detail based on a foundation of multiple documentary sources, memoirs, interviews, and secondary sources both in China and in Vietnam. With Chinese assistance, the PAVN experienced three important transformative changes from a peasant, rebellion force to a regular, national army. In retrospect, international Communist support to North Vietnam proved to be the decisive edge that enabled the PAVN, or NVA, to survive the American Rolling Thunder bombing campaign and helped the NLF, also known as the Viet Cong, to prevail in the war of attrition and eventually defeat South Vietnam. An international perspective may help students and the public in the West to gain a better understanding of America’s long war.

Object Of Study

Given the global investment problem of the population pyramid, the increase in older adults can be considered as an alternative to generate new proposals for tourism activities aimed at this segment, regarding their needs, interests and desires. In Mexico, according to INEGI (2015), the aging rate is 38% with an average age of 27 years. This alternative will have a social and economic impact on the sector, making the necessary proposals regarding the adaptability of some elements of the tourism system of the municipalities involved that make up the High Mountain Region. To do this, depending on the research objective, the methodology that was applied is mixed, consisting of an exploratory research (where various documentary sources and secondary sources were used), which served to contextualize and point out the object of study, A descriptive study was also carried out, through the application of 384 surveys that served as a preliminary tool to generate statistics and graphs that concentrate the main indicators related to the study objective. The contribution of this study is the inclusion of older adults with a social and economic impact in the region.

Indirect Information

Droughts are probably the natural hazard with the highest socioeconomicimpact. Simultaneously, they are a very complex phenomenon; they are triggered by a diversity of physical factors and occur at a variety of time scales. Consequently, the instrumental record currently available is too short and the characterization of its multidecadal variability requires the use of natural proxies (tree rings, sedimentary records) or documentary sources. In this paper we analyse three documentary sources with potential to analyse the long-term variability of droughts: chapter acts, logbooks and chronicles. The chapter acts recorded discussions and decisions made during the assemblies of the local authorities and provide continuous and direct evidence on drought impacts. They are especially useful to study droughts between the 15th and the 19th centuries in Europe and the 17th to 18th in the former colonies. Logbooks recorded the meteorological conditions and the incidents occurred during navigation. They provide indirect information through the circulation indices that can be very helpful to understand the mechanisms and teleconnections associated to droughts. Finally, the chronicles are historiographical documents describing political and social events. They are secondary sources and the references to climatic events are discontinuous, thus their analysis must be extremely careful, but they are especially useful to study specific drought events especially prior to 15th century when no other sources are available.

Foucauldian Analysis

The Education Act 1971 is the main policy document under which schools in Nepal are operated. With the change in political regime, this policy has been amended as per the ideology of the incoming regime. Although private schools started to show their influence in Nepal in the late 1980s, excessive growth of private schools began with the neoliberal policy adopted by the incoming political parties soon after Nepal became a multiparty democratic country in the early 1990s. However, with the Maoists becoming a dominant political force in the country in the late 1990s, several challenges in the operation of private schools began. Issues such as closing down or monitoring of private schools are now common mass media headlines. This paper analyses such a situation in the operation of private schools in Nepal. It uses primary sources of data collected via semi-structured interviews with teachers, administrators and principals of two private schools located in the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. It also uses secondary sources that include mass media output and other documentary sources such as documents from private schools’ associations and government policy related to private schools. This study found that operation of private schools in Nepal is comparable to what Michel Foucault calls tolerated illegality.
