Los contratos temporales y a tiempo parcial como formas de trabajo atípicas. Especial referencia a su régimen de seguridad social. (Spanish) Hasta el inicio de los años ochenta, elmercado de trabajo español se caracterizó por relaciones laborales rígidas, así como por las elevadas tasas de paro, concentradas particularmente entremujeres y jóvenes, que no permitían hacer frente a los cambios del mercado empresarial. A partir de 1984, se inició una tendencia flexibilizadora con la adopción de un paquete legal que supuso entre otras ventajas: la implantación de medidas para facilitar la entrada y salida del empleo, estimular la incorporación al mercado de trabajo de jóvenes, mujeres y parados de larga duración, la liberalización de los contratos temporales de trabajo a través de la ruptura del nexo causal, y la implantación de tres tipos de contrataciones atípicas: el contrato temporal de fomento del empleo, el contrato para la formación y el contrato en prácticas. No obstante, la búsqueda de flexibilidad industrial llevo a la precariedad delmercado de trabajo, además, el excesivo recurso a la contratación temporal desincentiva la inversión empresarial en formación de los trabajadores, pudiendo acarrear falta de motivación y estancamiento o empeoramiento de la productividad y competitividad empresarial. Se concluye, que de todas las formas de trabajo atípicas, lasmás recurridas, las que agrupan a unmayor porcentaje de trabajadores, son: los contratos temporales y los contratos a tiempo parcial, siendo este último el que más especialidades de seguridad social reviste, fundamentalmente enmateria de cotización, protección por desempleo y jubilación. Asimismo, si bien a simple vista parece que la contratación temporal y a tiempo parcial sólo conlleva ventajas para la actividad empresarial, esto no es del todo cierto, estas formas de contratación posibilitan el ingreso al mercado laboral de personas que por tener otro tipo de prioridades, como la atención de la vida familiar o la formación, anteriormente se veían en la necesidad de abandonarlo o de incorporarse más tardíamente.

Eficacia comparada de los antidepresivos actuales: el papel de bupropión. (Spanish) El hallazgo fortuito de los precursores de dos de las familias más importantes de sustancias antidepresivas a finales de la década de 1950, iproniazida (inhibidores de la monoaminooxidasa, IMAO) e imipramina (antidepresivos tricíclicos, ATC), sirvieron como base al desarrollo de numerosos fármacos antidepresivos. Durante décadas, las diferencias conocidas entre los distintos agentes se han limitado, por lo general, a aspectos de seguridad y tolerabilidad. Este hecho se ha debido en gran medida a que la mayoría de los estudios comparativos sobre eficacia con antidepresivos estaban diseñados para detectar diferencias comparativamente grandes, de manera que las diferencias más sutiles que existen entre las diferentes clases de fármacos empleados habitualmente como fármacos de primera elección en el tratamiento de la depresión, como los inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina (ISRS), inhibidores de la

recaptación de noradrenalina y serotonina (IRNS) y el inhibidor de la recaptación de dopamina y noradrenalina (IRDN) bupropión, no se exploraban de forma adecuada. Teóricamente esta limitación puede superarse a través de la utilización simultánea de datos procedentes de diferentes ensayos mediante técnicas de análisis combinado y metaanálisis. De hecho, la acumulación de datos procedentes de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, doble ciego, comparando la eficacia de distintas sustancias antidepresivas en el tratamiento del trastorno depresivo mayor (TDM) ha hecho posible la búsqueda de diferencias entre fármacos. En la revisión que presentamos a continuación se efectuará una descripción de los estudios combinados y de metaanálisis con antidepresivos en el TDM más recientes, junto con una valoración más detallada de los estudios que evalúan la eficacia comparativa de bupropión, un IRDN recientemente introducido en España, frente a otros fármacos antidepresivos para el tratamiento de la depresión mayor.

3 This article features an activity long since commonly quoted by professors and students alike at the beginning of courses in the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM, for its acronym in Spanish), the Previous Knowledge Profile Test. Among many aspects such action has had, the importance granted to interdisciplinary holds outstanding grounds. This remarkable meta-cognitive variable, in urgent need of studies and research as well as high solvency and qualification, undoubtedly provides the best contributions to the quantityquality intricacy of knowledge. The solution of the most important pedagogical work problems for the coming years greatly depends on its impact and development, being the objective to obtain a more human, useful and responsible knowledge at the university.

4 The psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Sport Climate Questionnaire (S-SCQ) (SDT, Sport Climate Questionnaire, n.d.) were determined from a sample of 301 Spanish high-level competitive athletes (171 men and 130 women) from the Community of Valencia. The S-SCQ assesses athletes perceptions of coach-provided autonomy support. The assumed unidimensional structure of both the long and short versions of the instrument was supported. Both versions also exhibited high reliability (internal consistency). Support for the convergent validity of the scale(s) was also obtained as the measure of coach autonomy support significantly related to the different types of motivation regulations (as assessed via the Sport Motivation Scale; Pelletier et al., 1995), in accordance with theoretical predictions.() “. 5 Error affect inoculation for a complex decision-making task. Psicothema Individuals bring knowledge, implicit theories, and goal orientations to group meetings. Group decisions arise out of the exchange of these orientations. This research explores how

a trainee's exploratory and deliberate process (an incremental theory and learning goal orientation) impacts the effectiveness of individual and group decision-making processes. The effectiveness of this training program is compared with another program that included error affect inoculation (EAI). Subjects were 40 Spanish Policemen in a training course. They were distributed in two training conditions for an individual and group decision-making task. In one condition, individuals received the Self-Guided Exploration plus Deliberation Process instructions, which emphasised exploring the options and testing hypotheses. In the other condition, individuals also received instructions based on Error Affect Inoculation (EAI), which emphasised positive affective reactions to errors and mistakes when making decisions. Results show that the quality of decisions increases when the groups share their reasoning. The AlE intervention promotes sharing information, flexibilizing initial viewpoints, and improving the quality of group decisions. Implications and future directions are discussed.(tabernero may 2009) 6

Evaluación y calidad: análisis de un modelo. This paper analyses a systemic model for education from the perspective of evaluation as related to criteria of value and merit integrated in a specific concept of quality defined in an operative way. Based on this model, the setting of criteria of educational quality are justified and legitimized in their basic dimensions (functionality, effectiveness and efficiency) proceeding from rules and relevant and useful indicators for evaluation in education. After offering clarification about the concept of evaluation and its critical function as an instrument to optimize artificial social systems, the logical model of quality education is presented, as a systemic model and conditions are considered for the derivation of indicators.()”.

7 Some critics have commented that online courses may discourage teacher–student interaction, which is considered by teachers and researchers as an important element in language learning. A total of 60 associate degree students who attended an online English course in Hong Kong responded to a questionnaire asking them about their effort and interest in learning English, their anxiety about computer applications, their self‐monitoring capability, their interactions with the teacher and their peers and their competence in English. Analysis of variance results showed that those students who perceived themselves as more competent had more favorable perceptions of their interaction with the teacher than did those who were less competent, but for all other variables the two groups did not differ. The findings imply that online language learning does not necessarily diminish interaction. Instead, the level of interaction may depend on the learners’ sense of competence in the target language.()

8 La contribución del humor, de la comedia de situación a la identidad cultural catalana. “

In this article, we intend to set out the results of a study on how humor is received in a locally produced situation comedy. Through this work, we have been trying to understand what social and cultural representations would be recognized by the audience in the show

as accurate reflections of themselves and their cultural and social context, as well as which they would reject. In order to carry out this analysis we have used qualitative methodology, intending, through discussion groups, to understand the consumption of humors in a sitcom produced by a television station serving the autonomous region of Catalonia. This article revalidates the idea that humors is determined socially and culturally, knowledge which allows us to identify the philias and phobias which the subjects expressed with regards to humors in sitcoms. We outline the fundamental role that humors plays as a device that generates, invigorates, reinforces and/or discards elements associated with identity. Humor is used to create social connections as well as social divisions, becoming a kind of cultural mediator that generates suggestions for meaning. Our final aim is to encourage further research, within the communications area, which would have as its object the consumption, use and appropriation of the humors present in media content.()”.

9 Búsqueda de ayuda en ambientes virtuales Relaciones con la Orientación hacia el Aprendizaje y la Autoeficacia percibida. Apertura: Revista de Innovación The article is framed in the interest to study the "seeking for help" behaviors in web based learning. Although such behaviors have been studied in traditional courses, recently is appraised an incipient interest by their analysis in virtual environments because probably the environment characteristics and conditions may affect the help seeking process. The paper intention is to analyze the relationship between intrinsic goal orientation, selfefficiency and their incidence on help seeking behaviors. 67 college students participated in the study who attended a subject with traditional and virtual instances. The data were collected by means of a self report questionnaire, especially taking into account the scales referred to intrinsic goals orientation, self-efficiency and seeking help. The results are in the sense of those found in previous studies on the subject, showing a greater disposition to seeking help the students with a more marked intrinsic direction and self-efficacy perceptions.()”.

10 Longevity and psychological well-being. Perspectivas en Psicología Because the process of the "aging of the aged", the level of dependency of the elderly raising significantly.. This is due in part, to the fact that they suffer everyday more from physical and psychological problems that require the taking care and attention of others. Although it is good for the mental and physical health of the elderly individuals to live in their own home, even with some help from outside, there are older persons that because of their high level of functional dependency have to live in a geriatric home. The cause of it is because they suffer from some type of decency of the elderly people and sometimes because of the lack of economical resources and support. This paper is the description of the results of a research on the level of stress of the family member who takes care of the aged person and also the conclusions of another work related to the life quality in the geriatric institutions.
