Biomecanica, 2018

Introducción La biomecánica es una disciplina que estudia el movimiento del cuerpo en sus diferentes circunstancias es decir, esta ciencia trata de analizar la actividad del ser humano y la respuesta que tiene nuestro organismo ante esto. Se creara un prototipo de articulación con el propósito de enseñar a personas con la discapacidad de escribir las vocales. Objetivos General: • Diseñar un prototipo biomecánico que tenga la función de simular la articulación del sistema humano. Específicos: • Fomentar la disciplina de la escritura básica (Vocales) por medio de un circuito biomecánico. • Crear un circuito que facilite la realización del aprendizaje en personas con distintas discapacidades.

This article explores the tension between ratio and voluntas in modern law. It primarily relies on a literature analysis to critically engage with two interrelated issues: (i) the notion of “authoritarian constitutionalism” and (ii) the ambivalences observed in the conceptual articulation and institutional structuring of the judiciary. The paper then presents the Chilean legal order as a case study, examining how certain practices and decisions of its Constitutional Tribunal during specific periods reflect the aforementioned interplay. Subsequently, it incorporates reviews of recent experiences of “democratic backsliding” in selected Central and Eastern European countries to provide a broader comparative perspective. Despite occurring in distinct economic and historical-political contexts, the cases discussed support the presence of an antagonistic duality in modern law that oscillates between liberation and repression. The study suggests that this tension is universally observable, albeit manifested contingently within different legal and constitutional orders.

Desde hace aproximadamente dos siglos y medio se ha dado un auge en el uso de industrias como fuente primaria de producción y economía en prácticamente todo el mundo. El resultado de este crecimiento fue no solamente la evolución de la tecnología actual, sino también del inicio de emisiones de gases que, a pesar de estar ya presentes en la tierra desde hace millones de años su nivel fue gradualmente aumentando tanto que dio origen al fenómeno actualmente conocido como el calentamiento global.

The study focused on the concept and impact of empathic communication in the context of an organization across individualist and Collectivist cultures. The literature on the history, concept and communication of empathy is reviewed. The use of empathy beyond the fields of psychology, healthcare, counselling and other caring fields is investigated. A specific attention is given to the effects of empathic communication in superior-subordinate interpersonal relationships seeing how it affects relational satisfaction, workplace performance and job stress levels in subordinates. The identifying features of empathic communication in the context of organizations are highlighted and the role of culture in the communication of empathy is examined. Culture is operationalized through self-identification with either being more of a Collectivist than an Individualist and vice versa. Results reveal that empathic communication has a significant effect on how satisfied a subordinate is with his/her superior, workplace performance, and job stress. Additional results revealed that participants who identified more with the Collectivist culture had no preference for either of the two forms (verbal or nonverbal) of communicating empathy. On the other hand, participants who identified more as Individualists preferred empathic listening over other forms of communicating empathy. Keywords: Empathic communication, Superior, Subordinate , Collectivist, Individualist

Background Despite the fact that an educational programme for parents of youth tennis players has been launched recently, there is a need to empower parents of athletes in sustaining the combination of education and sport careers (i.e., dual career) of their talented and elite athletes across sports. The aim of this study was to explore the parents’ view of their role as dual career supporters and their need for educational support in this area. Methods In total, 115 parents (F = 49, M = 66) of athletes (14–23 yrs) engaged in full time academic education (high school/university) and competitive (e.g., National, International) sports (individual = 12, team = 9) in five European Member States (e.g., France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia) took part in national workshops. The workshops involved discussing five themes and agreeing statements relevant to assist parents supporting their children as dual career athletes: 1) the athletes’ needs; 2) the sports environment; 3) the academi...

The Historical Review/La Revue Historique

The National Schism that erupted in Greece during World War I has already been thoroughly analysed in the bibliography as a crisis of national unification, defined by geographical, political and socio economic criteria. The aim of this article is to move a step forward, to support that the National Schism might also be considered as an act in the broader and much older Greek ideological drama, that of the tantalising and incomplete “return” to the East via the European West. It is argued that the Schism, far from being a bipolar confrontation between supporters and opponents of Europe, did select from the East–West debate whatever arguments were necessary to invest military and political choices with a “deeper” meaning. Our approach focuses mostly on the rhetoric produced by the two opposing camps, the Venizelists and the anti-Venizelist block, from 1914 to 1922. It is, however, complemented by a retrospective presentation of the nineteenth-century debateover the Enlightenment and l...
