Búsqueda, regreso y agencia para una escritura quichua santiagueña: Mario Tebes (1927-2009)
No full textMario Tebes (1927-2009) is a bilingual Quichua-Spanish writer born in the northern extreme of Figueroa department, Santiago del Estero (Argentina). Towards the end of his life, he published his memoir Castañumanta Yuyayniy (My memory of El Castaño, 2009), the first prose “author” work in Quichua language. In Santiago del Estero’s Mesopotamia and in Buenos Aires conurbation there are portions of population that remain bilingual, with a complex socio-historical process of asymmetries within the order of uses and meanings concerning Quichua and Spanish. Our hypothesis is that Castañumanta does not deal with a folklore-related rescue of the Quichua, but with the fact that those experiences are the reconstruction of evidences of a social framework that supports that language. Tebes’s discursive strategies and his singular trajectory imply an ought-to-be (how to write in) Quichua, with implicit assumptions on other bilingual (other “quichuistas”) writers. This analysis enables the realization about evidence of an intense identity position.Mario Tebes (1927-2009) é um escritor quichua-espanhol bilingue nascido no extremo norte do departamento de Figueroa, Santiago del Estero (Argentina). No final de sua vida, ele publicou seus memórias Castañumanta Yuyayniy (Minha memória de El Castaño, 2009), o primeiro trabalho de “autoria” em língua quichua. Na Mesopotâmia de Santiago del Estero e na conurbação de Buenos Aires há porções de população que permanecem bilíngües, com um processo sócio-histórico complexo de assimetrias dentro da ordem de usos e significados relativos Quichua e Espanhol. Nossa hipótese é que Castañumanta não lida com um resgate do Quichua relacionado ao folklore, mas com o fato de que essas experiências são a reconstrução de evidências de uma trama social que suporte essa linguagem. As estratégias discursivas de Tebes e a sua trajetória singular implicam um dever-ser (como escrever) quichua, com pressupostos implícitos em outros escritores bilíngües (outros “quichuistas”). Esta análise permite ver evidências de uma posição de identidade intensa.Mario Tebes (1927-2009) fue un escritor bilingüe quichua-castellano nacido en el extremo norte del departamento de Figueroa, Santiago del Estero, Argentina.

Does personalized mean popular? A content analysis of suicide prevention smartphone applications
No full textSmartphone applications (apps) have wide reach and can help users in real-time; however, it is unclear if suicide prevention apps include content and features that are likely to improve users’ experiences, such as personalization and interactivity. It is also unknown if app characteristics that contribute to popularity are also related to user-rated quality. This content analysis evaluated the content, functions, popularity (i.e., downloads), and user-rated quality (i.e., star ratings) of publicly available suicide prevention apps. Apps were downloaded from May–July 2022 and independently rated by two researchers. Discrepancies were resolved via discussion or a third rater. The Mobile Application Rating Scale assessed app quality. The 74 included apps were collectively downloaded roughly 2,349,710 times. Approximately 22% had dynamic, personalizable, and actionable safety plans (e.g., called supports during crisis). Of variables that were significant in univariate models, larger apps, with secure access, and with risk reduction information were downloaded more frequently. Apps that provided developer’s contact information and were rated more favorably by the researchers were given more stars by users. Identifying alcohol as a suicide risk factor was significant in both univariate models, but neither multivariate model. No other variables related to downloads were also related to star ratings. Suicide prevention apps vary in tailoring and dynamic features, but unexpectedly such features are unrelated to user-rated quality and popularity. The features that attract users to download apps, like having secure access and harm reduction, do not also contribute to positive ratings.This manuscript was supported by grants awarded by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism: K99AA029154; R00AA029154 (PI Kelly).

¿Qué investigan las y los estudiantes avanzados de la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional del Sur (UNS)? Un recorrido por los procesos de elección del tema y la delimitación del problema de investigación
No full textLa presente investigación se enfocó en comprender los procesos de elección y delimitación de temas de investigación, desde la perspectiva de estudiantes de la licenciatura en Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional del Sur en Bahía Blanca. Mediante un enfoque cualitativo y un diseño de estudio de caso instrumental, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semi-estructuradas a ocho estudiantes. El objetivo principal fue identificar y sistematizar los temas de investigación seleccionados; explorar el proceso de elección considerando acuerdos grupales en la definición de la problemática; y comprender las percepciones estudiantiles sobre el papel del acompañamiento docente en su formación para la investigación. En el análisis de las entrevistas realizadas, se observó que la elección y delimitación de los temas de investigación se asoció a tres factores clave: emociones, condiciones de cursado y contexto de descubrimiento. Algunas categorías que emergieron de esta investigación, se encontraban relacionadas con el acompañamiento docente y la interacción entre pares, con un énfasis en los aspectos mencionados anteriormente. Respecto al acompañamiento docente, las y los estudiantes se refirieron a las estrategias de clase presentadas, mediante preguntas que les sirvieron para orientar y delimitar el tema; a su vez manifestaron que desde la cátedra fomentaban la continuidad del proceso que venía desarrollando las y los entrevistadas/os, al guiar, marcar y definir el camino por donde debían seguir. La construcción de una nueva categoría, el "acompañamiento entre pares", surge como un elemento adicional de apoyo, tanto desde una dimensión académica como emocional, en este proceso. En síntesis, se observó una diferencia notable entre el trabajo grupal y la elaboración individual de proyectos de tesina, diversificando experiencias en la selección de temas. A pesar de estas diferencias, las/os entrevistadas/os coincidieron en la importancia de la formación para la investigación y el acompañamiento docente y entre pares
Michal, contradicting values : understanding the moral dilemma faced by Saul's daughter
No full textValue conflicts due to cultural differences are an increasingly pressing issue in many societies. Because Old Testament texts hail from a very different milieu to our own they may provide new perspectives upon contemporary conflicts and, in this context, the present dissertation investigates one particular value clash in 1 Samuel.
Studies of Old Testament ethics have attended to narrative only relatively recently. Although social-scientific interpretation has a longer pedigree, there are important debates about how to employ the fruits of anthropology in biblical studies. The first part of this thesis, therefore, attends to methodological issues, advancing four main propositions. First, attention should be paid to the moral goods that feature in the text. Second, the family, a central feature of Old Testament morality, should be understood as a set of practices rather than an institution. Third, 'models' of social action that purport to comprehend the social world of the Bible should be used only cautiously. Finally, a modified version of Bakhtin's theory of heteroglossic voices can help readers appreciate how authors present a moral vision by approving some characters' actions whilst undermining others.
The second part of the thesis employs this methodology to examine 1 Samuel 19.10-18a. The discussion of the moral dilemma facing Michal adduces anthropological theories and ethnographic data concerning violence, lying, and the relationship between fathers and daughters. Given that the conflicts of moral goods are 'resolved' by characters choosing to act in a certain way, the dissertation enquires after the author's assessment of each character's moral choices, and hence their theological import. The dissertation argues that Michal's loyalty to David and deception of Saul was counter-cultural, and by approving of her choice the author affirms the importance of loyalty to the Davidic dynasty
