Analysis of curriculum processes for the development of competencies in engineering education
This work presents the advances being made on a research project addressing curriculum processes for the development of competencies at the San Juan National University’s Faculty of Engineering (Argentina) in the framework of institutional policies that seek to make its programs of study appropriate for the second generation of accreditation standards. This is an exploratory, descriptive and interpretative study that is currently in the analytic phase, during which time we have carried out a characterization of the study plans currently in force for seven engineering programs in place at the university. In this sense, we describe both the institutional transformation related to the creation of accreditation standards and the perspectives of institutional actors as regards the curriculum design of the San Juan National University Faculty of Engineering’s programs, analyzing the institutional dynamic that emerges from said process.Received: 27 December 2019Accepted: 04 March 2020Published online: 19 May 2020

International bodies as a tool in the fight against poverty in Spain after the Great Recession (2008-2014)
Este trabajo analiza las conclusiones y recomendaciones de órganos de Naciones Unidas y del Consejo de Europa, derivadas de los últimos informes periódicos de España, sobre la situación de los derechos directamente conectados con la pobreza: el derecho a un nivel de vida adecuado y a la protección económica y social. La conclusión es que estos órganos han mostrado su preocupación por la persistencia de altos niveles de pobreza en los años de recuperación económica y se han pronunciado sobre asuntos como la vivienda o las prestaciones; en términos de Derecho y de Derechos Humanos. El objetivo es contribuir al enfoque de los derechos humanos de la pobreza en España, argumentando que la lucha contra ella y la mejora de cuestiones concretas como la protección económica, la vivienda pública o la redistribución no son solo asuntos de agenda política sino también de cumplimiento de obligaciones internacionales contraídas por nuestro país.Recibido: 11 marzo 2020Aceptado: 14 septiembre 2020Publicación en línea: Artículos en Prensa 23 octubre 2020This paper analyses the conclusions and recommendations offered by bodies of the United Nations and the Council of Europe, derived from Spain's latest periodic reports, on the situation of rights directly connected to poverty, such as the right to an adequate standard of living and to economic and social protection. The conclusion is that these bodies have shown their concern about the persistence of high levels of poverty in the years of economic recovery and have expressed their views on matters such as housing and social benefits, in terms of both Law and Human Rights. The aim of the article is to contribute to the human rights approach to poverty in Spain, arguing that the fight against it and the improvement of specific issues such as economic protection, public housing or redistribution, are not only matters on the political agenda, but should also comply with international obligations assumed by our country.Received: 11 March 2020Accepted: 14 September 2020Published online: Articles in Press 23 October 202
Análisis de riesgos y evaluación de impacto relativa a la protección de datos: su aplicación a las sociedades cooperativas
The GDPR requires all businesses to conduct a risk analysis of the processing of personal data. If this analysis shows that there is a high risk, it will be mandatory to perform a DPIA in order to foresee the impacts and risks this may pose to the privacy of the interested parties. On this basis, the GDPR requires the implementation of security and control measures to guarantee the rights and freedoms of individuals. This paper focuses, on the one hand, on analysing when a cooperative society must carry out a DPIA and, on the other hand, on studying the phases involved in conducting a DPIA correctly.Received: 25 July 2019Accepted: 21 February 2020Published online: 01 April 2020El RGPD impone a todas las empresas realizar un análisis de riesgo en los tratamientos de datos personales. Si este análisis indica que existe un alto riesgo será obligatorio realizar una EIPD, con el objeto de prever los impactos y riesgos que los mismos pueden suponer en la privacidad de los interesados. De ese modo, y sobre esa base, el RGPD exige que se implanten las medidas de seguridad y control para garantizar los derechos y libertades de las personas. Este trabajo se centra, por una parte, en analizar cuándo una sociedad cooperativa debe realizar una EIPD y, por otra, en estudiar cuales son las fases que debe comprender la realización de una correcta EIPD.Recibido: 25 julio 2019Aceptado: 21 febrero 2020Publicación en línea: 01 abril 202

Meta-profile and competencies for harmonisation of higher education in sector-specific technology areas: A case study of Renewable Energy in Southern Africa
The aim of this study was to develop the profile and competencies of a harmonised curriculum for a multi-country regional sector-specific higher education programme. The study, which was based on a case study of Renewable Energy involving six countries in Southern Africa, was based on established methodologies proposed by previous studies on harmonisation and profiling of higher education programmes. The study uses a general curriculum development approach leading to the definition of generic and specific competencies and feeding into a learning taxonomy to create alignment with specific learning outcomes at the intended qualification level. However, the approach extends the harmonisation concept to include industrialisation potential, which is crucial in the developing-country context. This allows for the exploitation of shared resources in sector-specific technology areas and supports the development of regional standards on technology and practice, as part of developing a sustainable regional economic sector. Twentytwo competencies, encompassing both generic and specific competencies, were defined. These competencies were grouped into six key competence areas, and later transformed into four clusters of competencies: core competencies, hard skills, soft skills and attitudes. These four clusters were then placed on a planetary system to represent the meta-profile for the qualification, which forms the framework for the future design of learning materials for the qualification.

The characteristics of PhD programs at Saint-Petersburg State University (SPSU): The transformation of generic competences of PhD students in Political Science
The aim of this article is to explore the characteristics of the new model of PhD programs (using the case of SPSU) and to test the following hypothesis: the new model of PhD programs in Saint-Petersburg State University (SPSU) is relevant and useful for innovative development and knowledge economy formation. The hypothesis was tested according to the following tasks: 1) Analysis of the cooperation of main actors or dialog between actors in the case of the Faculty of Political Science (SPSU); 2) Estimate of changes in completion rates in the case of the Faculty of Political Science at SPSU; and 3) Exploration of the motivations of PhD students in the case of the Faculty of Political Science at SPSU. The new model of PhD programs affects the structure of communication and coordination channels between all stakeholders. It also supports the necessity of such incorporation channels for the development of educational programs. Network analysis shows that SPSU is the main actor in the decision-making processes for the development of methodological and scientific programs. Other governmental bodies, NGOs, and institutes are also included in this process. Discourse analysis and a review of questionnaire data show the first perceptions of the new model of PhD program. The new model is changing the completion rates by introducing a new measurement: the Diploma “Researcher. Teacher-Researcher”. An overview of general competences at SPSU proved that core competences of this program correlate with soft skills and encourage the development of systematic and critical thinking, project management and cooperation skills. In addition they provide the possibility to build inter-cultural channels of self-development and to work with information.Received: 11 March 2019Accepted: 17 March 2020Published online: 19 May 202
Young people’s uncertainty about the future: Education system, training, and transition to employment in Spain
The general context of precariousness of employment affects youth in Spain. Delving deeper into the axes that traverse this uncertainty, we present part of a cross-sectional study on the perception of young people in the city of Toledo, in which an ad hoc questionnaire was used for data collection to compare the results at the Spanish and European level. The sample includes 505 people aged between 16 and 24 years. The main findings indicate a general dissatisfaction with the training received and a lack of adaptation of the transition system to the labor market, elements that repeat themselves in the perception of different agents regarding this context. Significant differences were found regarding the perception of problems considering the education level of the parents and aspects related to the autonomy of the young people, such as living independently or living off of their own income. This represents clear similarities with young Europeans and especially in the Spanish case but presents specific difficulties for young people in regions such as Castilla-La Mancha.Received: 09 October 2019Accepted: 23 March 2020Published online: 19 May 202
