RESUMEN: Este artículo comprende un estudio minucioso sobre el concepto de realimentación. Se describe su desarrollo histórico, su presencia en diversas disciplinas científicas —en particular en las CC. Sociales—, analizando su influencia en el orden de las ideas y los métodos, lo que le ha llevado a convertirse en una de las principales metáforas científicas de la actualidad. Su incorporación al lenguaje pedagógico, por vía de las corrientes sistémicas y cibernéticas, merece un estudio crítico, en el que se describan los niveles a los que opera, su relación con otros conceptos y procesos, y su posición central en las modernas teorías de la educación; con especial hincapié en las aportaciones del Dr. Sanvisens.SUMMARY: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concept feedback. From Watt «Governor» (1790) and the initial theoretical work developed by J. Maxwell (1868), including the cybernetics concepts developed in the fifties, in this paper we revise the conceptual influences and the methodological and thecnological applications in different disciplines, with special attention to the Social Sciences field. The feedback concept is related with other concepts such as: The Systems Dynamic's, the Biofeedback thecnics, the sociological systemic models, the family therapy... Thorough discussion is deserved to the application of this concept in the Educational Theory field. Specifically we analyze the contributions made by the humanistic cybernetic proposed by A. Sanvisens.

Ściupider-Młodkowska Mirosława, Miłość, wierność i odpowiedzialność w przestrzeniach spotkań młodzieży studiującej [Love, Loyalty and Responsibility in Meeting Spaces of University Students]. Studia Edukacyjne nr 56, 2020, Poznań 2020, pp. 235-251. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 1233-6688. DOI: 10.14746/se.2020.56.13Intimate partner relations have been an important research topic for years in the social sciences that address the order and survival of families and future generations. It is worth considering the contemporary code and the model of love and intimacy, which is just as natural in the process of socialization as the binding partnership for a lifetime. The purpose of the article is not to answer the question about the norm and the pathology in partner relations. In the assumption of the questions taken up, several issues have been raised in the field of constructivism and the phenomenon of partnership transformations and models of love, fidelity and responsibility in environments such as the family and parallel contemporary environments, such as virtual media in the form of the Internet and other determinants of popular culture. The discourse on emotional capitalism in partner relations raises numerous questions, constituting the theoretical basis of the questions addressed in this article: Do modern shortterm relationships determine the feeling of love and loyalty as a currency in the era of the Self? How far does the contemporary individualization of life change being together? Does pedagogical and psychological expertise provide real help in finding genuine values? Are they a response to loneliness, fear and contemporary consumerism in love relationships?

Objetivos: Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender las relaciones entre el progreso de la cobertura de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia en los nueve estados del noreste y las tasas de detección de sífilis en mujeres embarazadas y congénitas entre 2008 y 2017.Métodos: Se trata de un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal en el que se correlacionaron las tasas de detección de sífilis de gestación y sífilis congénita en los estados nororientales y en esta región en su conjunto con la respectiva cobertura media anual de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia. Para ello, se realizó la prueba del coeficiente de correlación de Pearson para estas dos variables utilizando el software del Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25. Resultados: El análisis estadístico de los datos de los estados permitió identificar que, al igual que en los datos agrupados de la región, a medida que aumentó la cobertura de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia, la tasa de detección de casos de sífilis en mujeres embarazadas y congénitas también aumentó significativamente en la mayoría de los estados, y en la región nordeste en su conjunto. Conclusiones: El Sistema Único de Salud a través de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia ha dado lugar a importantes avances relacionados con el seguimiento del embarazo, el puerperio y el desarrollo infantil, así como en el diagnóstico temprano de infecciones como la sífilis. Sin embargo, además del diagnóstico, se necesitan mejoras significativas en el tratamiento y la prevención de estas enfermedades en la región noreste. Objectives: This study aims to verify the relationships between the advancing of coverage of the Family Health Strategy in the nine northeastern states and the rates of detection of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital between the years 2008 and 2017. Methods: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, in which the detection rates for gestational syphilis and congenital in the nine states of the Northeast and this region as a whole were correlated with the respective annual averages Family Health Strategy coverage. For that, Pearson's correlation coefficient test was performed for these two variables, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25 software. Results: The statistical analysis of the state data made it possible to identify that, as well as in the grouped data of the region, as the Family Health Strategy coverage increased, the detection rate of syphilis cases in pregnant women and congenital also increased significantly in most states, and in the Northeast region entirely. Conclusions: The Unified Health System through the Family Health Strategy has made great advances related to the monitoring of pregnancy, puerperium and child development as in the early diagnosis of infections like syphilis. However, in addition to the diagnosis, significant improvements are needed in the treatment and prevention of these diseases in the Northeast region.

Cristante and Robusto (1999) introduced a model devised for the parameterization of small groups in the social sciences (RDSM – response dependence of subjects model). The model belongs to the family of Rasch models ( Andrich, 1982 , 1985 ). In this contribution a validation study is conducted in order to verify the empirical applicability of the model. The RDSM is applied to a set of data in market research; the participants are 200 mobile telephone consumers. The main results are as follows: (a) Twenty four small subgroups of participants are obtained, where each one is well defined by means of a unit parameter and a location parameter on a latent trait. In this way the RDSM allows an appropriate grouping of the sample considered. (b) Low familiarity of consumers with mobile telephone technology correlates with a stereotyped representation of the attributes of telephone devices. (c) From a quantitative point of view, the results confirm the applicability of the RDSM within the data considered.

This work examines the claim of objects as explanatory protagonists of historical analysis against the perspective set forth in the book L´Histoire en miettes: des Annales à la «nouvelle histoire», by François Dosse (1987). This article aims to study the theoretical and epistemological turn regarding the historiographical approach. With this objective, we start from the family as an object of study, so that we place it between history and social sciences. It is precisely in the creation of the object, in the new analytical categories and in the renewal of the methods, where the true synthesis occurs as a contribution and creation of knowledge regarding the social organization and its operating processes.The system of social relations and the integration of individuals in the community provide families with the lead role in social change or resistance. Thus, factors such as hierarchy, intergenerational genealogies, domination, inequality and dependency are determined. La reivindicación de los objetos como protagonistas explicativos del análisis histórico frente a la consideración de fragmentos tras el clásico, pero acertado para su contexto y momento histórico: L´Histoire en miettes: des Annales à la «nouvelle histoire», de François Dosse (1987), pretende ofrecer un giro teórico y epistemológico respecto al enfoque historiográfico. Para ello partimos del objeto Familia y lo situamos entre historia y ciencias sociales. Es, precisamente, en la creación del objeto, en las nuevas categorías analíticas y en la renovación de los métodos, donde se produce la verdadera síntesis en tanto que aportación y creación de conocimiento respecto a la organización social y sus procesos de funcionamiento.El sistema de relaciones sociales y la integración de los individuos en la comunidad, le otorga a las familias el protagonismo en el cambio social o en las resistencias. Se determinan así factores como jerarquía, genealogías intergeneracionales, dominación, desigualdad y dependencia.

Opening ParagraphIt has long been a cliché in the social sciences to talk about the insulation of disciplines and sub-disciplines from each other. We all know what it is like tostudy a phenomenon – poverty, crime, the family – from within one academic paradigm and then come across a quite different view of the ‘same’ phenomenon. The result is usually self-pity: ‘If only I had known what they were up to’ or ‘If only they knew what I was up to’.
