Early ecofeminist debates of the seventies and eighties in Barcelona: Translations and reception
No full textIn 1974, the French libertarian thinker Françoise d'Eaubonne (1920-2005) coined the term "ecofeminism" in Le feminisme ou la mort. She argues that, once a woman owns her own body, a new non-consumer, environmentalist and feminist path will begin. Despite not thriving in France, Eaubonne's theses aroused the interest of radical American feminism in the 1970s, which questioned the medicalization of women's health. In Catalonia, after the publication of Betty Friedan and Simone de Beauvoir in the sixties, other influential voices from abroad would follow, including those of radical stamp, which, within the framework of the Consciousness-Raising (CR) groups, introduced the first ecofeminist debates. After contextualizing the origin of ecofeminism and its relationship with the American radical feminist movement, as well as introducing post-Franco feminist intellectual spaces, this paper focuses on the reception of various works related to a new philosophy of women's bodies, as opposed to the National-Catholic conception under Francoism: from translations such as the anthology Hablan las Women's Lib (movimiento de liberación de la mujer) (1972), edited by Maria Josep Ragué, and the manual of alternative gynecology, translated into more than thirty languages, Nuestros cuerpos, nuestras vidas.

Hypermasculinity and racist discourses in the Spanish media: the spectacularisation of radio sport programming
No full textOver the last few decades, while the media industry went through deep structural changes,
the sporting spectacle has grown in importance as media content. At the same time,
journalistic practices have been transformed by the increasing spectacularisation of sport.
In the case of Spain, the use of emotional and epic language, and the exaltation of one
team against the other, appear as dominant practices of the sporting media. The
polarisation between two teams (FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF) mirrors political
tensions and it is embraced by all media. However, such a trend also creates an
environment which favours and engenders racist, xenophobic, and sexist discourses. This
chapter focuses on radio sport programming in light of the growing intersection of
different media in responding to the demand of sport-related content. It points to the risk
of journalism of losing credibility and to the role of mass media in disseminating hatespeech

No full textCurs 2023-2024El objetivo de este Trabajo de Final de Máster es identificar y describir las barreras y elementos facilitadores que interfieren en la vida escolar de una persona con familia migrada en Cataluña, así mismo pretende analizar y valorar el impacto de dichas barreras y elementos facilitadores a lo largo de su tapa educativa y describir las formas de intersección de dichas barreras mediante el método biográfico-narrativo a través de una historia de vida.
El trabajo está estructurado en dos partes principales. La primera parte proporciona una fundamentación teórica sobre la educación inclusiva, el proceso migratorio y las opresiones, aspectos clave para el desarrollo y comprensión del estudio. La segunda parte detalla la metodología cualitativa biográfico-narrativa utilizada, describiendo desde los preparativos previos a la investigación hasta la elaboración de la historia de vida. Se incluye la información sobre las fuentes de datos, el diseño y la implementación de los instrumentos de recolección de datos, así como su análisis.
Finalmente, se presenta un análisis que contrasta los hallazgos con el marco teórico y los objetivos establecidos, seguido de conclusiones, sugerencias de mejora y posibles líneas de investigación futuras.
Un aspecto crucial del enfoque de esta investigación es su naturaleza crítica. Por un lado, busca divulgar y documentar la experiencia vivida durante la educación obligatoria por parte de una mujer catalana con padres migrantes; por otro lado, tiene como objetivo empoderar a esta persona a través de la reflexión sobre su propia vida.
Palabras clave: Educación inclusiva, Método biográfico-narrativo, Historias de vida, Migraciones, Interseccionalidad, Racismo, Clasismo, SexismoThe objective of this Master's Thesis is to identify and describe the barriers and facilitating elements that interfere with the school life of an individual with migrant family background in Catalonia. Additionally, it aims to analyse and assess the impact of these barriers and facilitating elements throughout their educational journey, and describe how these barriers intersect using the biographical-narrative method through a life story.
The thesis is structured into two main parts. The first part provides a theoretical foundation on inclusive education, the migration process, and oppressions, which are crucial aspects for the development and understanding of the study. The second part details the qualitative biographical-narrative methodology used, describing from the initial research preparations to the crafting of the life story. It includes information on data sources, the design and implementation of data collection instruments, as well as their analysis.
Finally, an analysis is presented that compares the findings with the theoretical framework and established objectives, followed by conclusions, suggestions for improvement, and potential future research directions.
A critical aspect of this research approach is its critical nature. On one hand, it aims to disseminate and document the lived experience during compulsory education of a Catalan woman with migrant parents; on the other hand, it aims to empower this individual through reflection on their own life.

No full textLiderazgo y negociación entre culturas y el papel de la competencia intercultural. Un estudio de caso centrado en el sector de la educación internacional en España
No full textPrograma de Doctorat: Traducció, Gènere i Estudis culturalsLa presente tesis doctoral estudia el efecto del componente cultural en el desarrollo de acuerdos, negociaciones y cooperaciones en los que participan personas culturalmente diversas. En concreto, examina el papel de la comunicación intercultural en relación con el liderazgo y la negociación en contextos empresariales interculturales y establece las bases preliminares para el diseño de propuestas formativas conducentes al desarrollo de la competencia intercultural en este contexto. Mediante el uso de diversas técnicas de recogida de datos, tales como un cuestionario cumplimentado por profesionales de distintas empresas españolas del sector de la educación internacional, o la realización de entrevistas y grupos focales llevados a cabo en la empresa objeto de estudio, se han obtenido datos que parecen evidenciar la existencia de una relación de correlatividad entre el éxito o el fracaso en las relaciones empresariales interculturales y el grado de competencia intercultural de los profesionales que trabajan en estos contextos.Our research explores the effect of the cultural component in the development of agreements, negotiations and cooperations involving culturally diverse people. In particular, it examines the role of intercultural communication in relation to leadership and negotiation in intercultural business contexts and establishes the preliminary bases for the design of training proposals conducive to the development of intercultural competence in this setting. Considering the data collected, by means of a questionnaire completed by professionals from different companies in the industry, or in depth-interviews and focus groups carried out in the enterprise object of study, it seems that there is a correlation between success or failure in intercultural business relationships and the degree of intercultural competence of the professionals working in these contexts
Effectiveness of the Grief Care Program of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) in patients at risk of complicated grief
No full textCurs 2023-2024Anna Casellas GrauResum.
Objectiu: En el present estudi es tenia per objectiu avaluar l’efectivitat del Programa d’Atenció
al Dol en pacients amb risc de dol complicat a l’Institut Català d’Oncologia (ICO).
Mètode: Es va emprar un estudi quasi-experimental pre-post longitudinal amb un sol grup de
familiars en situació de dol. Es va avaluar, a partir de diferents instruments de mesura, el
malestar dels familiars de pacients oncològics èxitus abans de la seva inclusió al grup de dol (T0),
a l’inici del grup (T1), passades 10 sessions (T2), i al final del grup passades 20 sessions (T3). De
la mostra inicial formada per 46 subjectes, només 16 van completar les 20 sessions grupals.
Resultats: Es va observar que el 87,5% dels participants eren dones, i que el 100% de la mostra
tenia una relació de parella amb el difunt. A l’inici del programa la mostra presentava alts nivells
de malestar emocional i de risc de dol complicat, però no va mostrar nivells significatius de
resiliència. Tot i que no es van observar diferències significatives al llarg de l’avaluació, els
qüestionaris van mostrar una tendència a la reducció de la simptomatologia en els participants
del programa.
Conclusions: Malgrat no obtenir resultats significatius, l’estudi va presentar evidència de
l’eficàcia del Programa d’Atenció al Dol de l’ICO. Es recomana l’ús d’instruments amb més
validesa i fiabilitat en futurs estudis.
Paraules clau: dol oncològic, risc de dol complicat, programa d’atenció al dol, teràpia de grup.Abstract. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Grief Care
Program (GCP) in patients at risk of complicated grief at the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO).
Method: A quasi-experimental pre-post longitudinal study was used with a single group of
bereaved family members. We assessed, using different measurement instruments, the distress
of the relatives of dead oncology patients before their inclusion in the grief group (T0), at the
beginning of the group (T1), after 10 sessions (T2), and at the end of the group after 20 sessions
(T3). Of the initial sample of 46 subjects, only 16 completed the 20 group sessions.
Results: It was observed that 87.5% of the participants were women, and that 100% of the
sample had a partner relationship with the deceased. At the beginning of the program the
sample presented high levels of emotional distress and risk of complicated grief, but did not
show significant levels of resilience. Although no significant differences were observed
throughout the evaluation, the questionnaires showed a trend towards a reduction of
symptomatology in the program participants.
Conclusions: Despite not obtaining significant results, the study presented evidence of the
efficacy of the ICO’s Grief Care Program. The use of instruments with more validity and reliability
in future studies is recommended.

Tissue-specific response of transposable elements to temperature stress in the Antarctic fish Trematomus bernacchii
No full textCurs 2023-2024Genome architecture is deeply influenced by Transposable elements (TEs) activity.
Through their ability to migrate from one location to another, TEs are one of the main
drivers of genomic plasticity. This distinctive feature contributes to biological evolution
and adaptation to environmental changes. Climate changes affect the whole world, as in
Antarctica, where the suborder Notothenioidei dominate the fish fauna in terms of number
of species and biomass. Trematomus, due to its peculiar characteristics, is one of the most
studied genera belonging to Notothenioidei, and it is a good model to investigate the
effects that the increase in temperature can cause in transposable elements. We analyzed
the available RNA-Seq data obtained from specimens of Trematomus bernacchii exposed
at two different temperatures, -0.9 °C and 0.6 °C for three different periods of exposition
(six hours, seven days, and twenty days). The aim was to investigate the transcriptional
activity of TEs and that of genes encoding for proteins involved in their silencing
mechanisms in two different tissues (gill and brain). Our findings highlighted a variation
in TE transcriptional activity in the two analysed tissues as a consequence of the
temperature stress. A remarkable upregulation of TEs in the six hours and seven days
periods was observed. On the contrary, a stabilization of the TE transcriptional values
was observed for the twenty days of exposition. Moreover, the transcriptional analysis of
genes encoding proteins involved in TE silencing such as those responsible for
heterochromatin formation, of the NuRD complex, and the argonaute family highlighted
their activity in both tissues with a prompter response in the brain than in the gill. Overall,
our findings suggested that T. bernacchii can adapt to temperature changes in less than
twenty days corroborating the idea that TEs might represent a promising molecular tool
for species adaptation
