Este manuscrito explora las definiciones que tienen los estudiantes de la Universidad de Chile con respecto a los conceptos: “neoliberalismo” y “equidad”. Es un estudio cualitativo que permitió acceder a las construcciones conceptuales y procesos de definición de los individuos, utilizando la técnica de redes semánticas naturales. La muestra estuvo conformada por un total de 70 estudiantes. Se concluye que para ellos el neoliberalismo es un sistema económico que, basado en el capitalismo, está caracterizado por la desigualdad, la competencia, la injusticia y el individualismo y sus efectos se hacen evidentes con la pobreza. Mientras que la equidad es un derecho basado en la distribución, caracterizado por la igualdad, las oportunidades y la justicia, enfocado en la sociedad y que se hace evidente con el desarrollo.
The analysis of pellets belonging to a barn owl (Tyto alba) provided a good idea of the diversity and abundance of vertebrates which had been consumed in a southernmost Peruvian coast locality. It appears that the raptor feeds on at least two species of rodents, one of bird and two of lizards. The ingestion by the owl of at least 1848 g of small vertebrate biomass leaded to the formation and regurgitation of 10 pellets. The results indicate that (in terms of biomass) rodents represent the main food item (72.95 %) among the collection of pellets analysed. The presence of lizard remains suggests the hypothesis that the predatory behaviour of the barn owl is not only nocturnal but also diurnal .
This qualitative study explores the representations that undergraduate students at the University of Chile have with regards to the concepts: "equity" and "quality in education". These conceptual constructs were studied in a sample of 70 students enrolled in the majors of history, psychology and educational psychology using natural semantic networks. The main results suggest that for students from the sample, equity and quality in education are both a right and a need that promote equality, which (may) give them opportunities. Students perceive that equity and quality in education should offset inequality and could be made evident by sustainable development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
