The digital transformation entails the inclusion and development of agile methodologies that allow adapting the way of working to the conditions of the project, achieving flexibility to the specific circumstances of the environment by working collaboratively. The extrapolation of Scrum to education pursues a purely practical and experiential learning, with the aim of achieving the full development of its autonomy, abilities and skills. Consequently, the objective pursued by this article is to highlight the different topics that are considered when working with Scrum and presenting one example of the application of agile methodologies in the classroom eduScrum.

Dado que la Administración de Justicia no ha gozado tradicionalmente de una imagen inmejorable, los distintos gobiernos que se vienen sucediendo desde hace años han tratado de superar sus diversas carencias. En estas páginas repasamos algunas de las iniciativas previas que han ido preparando el camino para lo que desde el Ministerio de Justicia en 2009 se ha propuesto como instrumento para mejorar su Administración. El Ministerio ha fijado varios bloques de actuaciones referidos a la modernización de la Justicia: en la búsqueda de una mejora en la calidad de prestación de este servicio público; en su realización de una manera más profesionalizada y cualificada; con la utilización de las tecnologías acordes al momento histórico; intentando que el ciudadano sea el protagonista de la Justicia; y que al tiempo se propicie el fortalecimiento de la dimensión internacional de la misma. Analizamos estas cuestiones y nos cuestionamos a su vez las posibilidades de su realización. Justizia Administrazioak ez duenez betitik ospe paregabea izan, urteak joan eta urteak etorri gobernuek beti egin izan dute ahalegina arlo horri falta zaiona osatzen. Orri hauetan, Administrazioa hobetzeko Justizia Ministerioak 2009. urtean proposatu duten erreminta sortu aurretik, sortzeko, egin izan diren ekimen eta ahaleginak errepasatuko ditugu. Ministerioak hainbat ekintzabloke finkatu ditu, Justizia modernizatu nahian: zerbitzu publiko hori ematean kalitatea hobetzeko lanak; zerbitzua modu profesional eta kualifikatuagoan ematea; unean-unean egunean dauden teknologiak erabiltzea; herritarra jartzea Justiziako kontuetan protagonista; eta, aldi berean, justiziaren alde internazionala sendotzea. Kontu horiek aztertuko ditugu, eta benetan gauzatzeko aukerarik benetan ba ote dagoen galdetuko diogu gure buruari. Since the Administration of Justice has not traditionally enjoyed an excellent image, the different succesive cabinets have tried to overcome its various deficiencies. In these pages, we review some of the previous initiatives which paved the way to what the Ministry of Justice proposed in 2009 as the instrument for improving its Administration. The Ministry has established several areas of action refered to the modernization of justice: the search for an improvement in the quality of this public service; a more professional and qualified performance; using technologies appropriate to the historic moment; trying to make citizens the major figures for the Justice; and at the same time that the strenghtening of the international dimension is gained. We analyze those questions and we ask ourselves at the same time the possibilities for its realization.

Prehistory covers the period of some four million years before the start of written history, when our earliest ancestors, the Australopithecines, existed in Africa. Prehistory: A Very Short Introduction invites us to think about who we are by considering who we have been. There have been many archaeological discoveries over the last ten years, with a new framework for prehistory emerging. Greater understanding of Chinese and central Asian prehistory shows Eurasian prehistory in a different light, changing the traditional view of human progress around the invention of agriculture and development of cities. This VSI explores the new landscape of our prehistory, considering the way the different geographical locations weave together.

Among the blithe adventurers of the eighteenth century, few sur-passed Macartney in the diversity and value of their public service, and none left a fairer name. Whether he was cajoling the Russian premier, or contending with republican patriots in the Irish Parliament, or defying a tenfold force of French in Grenada, or heartening Madras against Hyder Ali, or driving the Dutch from the coast of Coromandel, or facing the pistol of a soldier to whom as Governor of Bengal he had given the lie, or teaching the court of Pekin the merits of his country, or conspiring with Louis XVIII in Italy, or protecting our conquest at the Cape by threatening to blow up the mutinous Tremendous, he was always the same rare man, unflinching, versatile and incorruptible. When, as a gouty veteran of sixty-two, he turned his house at Chiswick into “the resort of every distinguished character,” the Latin verses in which he reviewed his wanderings contained no more mention of Russia than Europaeque plagas fere visimus omnes. Yet he lived to see the work that he had done there contribute, and that perhaps in no small degree, to the fate of Napoleon and of Europe. In 1806, when he died, the dependent empire had not yet made its most conspicuous effort to dispense with British commercial aid. Tilsit had yet to point the way to Borodino. But the fate of Paul I had already hinted at the attitude of the Russian gentry towards a Tsar who challenged the system which Macartney's treaty had confirmed. One great cause of the retreat from Moscow may be discovered in the Anglo-Russian commercial bargain of 1766.

Basque and Catalan demands for legitimising political accommodation, solely on the basis of the democratic will of their residents, poses a significant challenge to the Spanish constitutional system. The core of the debate in this kind of conflict revolves around the so-called “right to decide” which commonly finds its expression in the capacity to hold a referendum over sovereignty matters. The path opened by Quebec, Scotland and other minority nations are considered by some to constitute evidence of the democratic need to include this right as a new accommodation formula. Incorporating a “sovereigntist proceeding” into the legal system(s) may pave the way to a new framework aimed at solving the significant constitutional problems that exist in Spain and other countries. I suggest that such a procedure could be incorporated and regulated in the existing legal systems and provide some guidelines that could be adopted when drafting the aforementioned regulation.

Abstract This article presents and discusses the communicative behaviour in the continuity texts produced by public service television providers in Denmark in the digital era. Based on a case study of the two main channels, DR and TV 2, the article argues that, after previous trends towards convergence in the way the two providers communicate, the present developments exhibit a divergence. Three major differences are found in the efforts to (1) hold on to and ‘herd’ the viewers within the scope of products and platforms, (2) strengthen the provider–viewer relationship, and (3) stand out with a distinctive set of institutional values. The findings are interpreted as a consequence of the challenges and opportunities facing the providers in terms of funding and in terms of meeting public service obligations, in a situation of tension between a traditional linear model of broadcasting and an emerging non-linear model.

During recent years, the Danish public service television station (DR) has launched several documentary serials that focus on kinship and genealogy. Genealogy makes ‘good TV’ because it enables an immediate identification with the protagonist of the programme. Furthermore, the protagonist’s personal story can function as a vehicle for telling other stories. However, the way kinship is depicted in the serials presupposes that a person’s knowledge about her biological kin equals knowledge about her personal identity. The article analyses the serial <em>Find my Family</em> (Danish: <em>Sporløs</em>), discussing the naturalisation of biological kin and the possible consequences of the conceptualisation of kinship that is taken for granted in the serial.

Kathryn T. Boyer, the wife of Ernest L. Boyer (1928-1995), offers a window into the life she shared with her prominent husband and the constant balancing act they faced in relation to their faith, family, and public service. Often cited but seldom understood, Ernest L. Boyer (1928-1995) was one of the most influential voices in education in the latter-half of the twentieth century. The reports he wrote while heading the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of teaching influenced the way we view students from pre-school through college. This heart-warming memoir of the life offers an inside look into what truly defined him. Having moved approximately twenty times over the course of their lives together, Kathryn details with winsome yet honest prose the challenges and joys that came with the balancing act of faith, family, and public service. Those indebted to Ernest Boyer's legacy will find this work indispensable reading.
