The local schools authorities represented by chief education officers perform pedagogical supervision and control. They also cooperate with local government units which are responsible for realization of most of the educational tasks. The latest reform of the educational system has considerably broadened the superintendents’ competences in many aspects, for example as regards evaluation of schools networks. Undoubtedly, the competences of the school superintendent limit the independence of local self-governments as far as their deciding about schools is concerned. In essence, the problem concerns the creation of legal solutions that allow universal access to education. One should strive to create a network of schools, which will remain unchanged for many years. The network must ensure a sense of security in the implementation of educational benefits to residents.

Resumen:Este artículo pretende informar sobre los resultados de una investigación acerca de la crisis identitaria de la educación básica y de cada una de sus etapas. Las hipótesis de la investigación eran: a) en el actual sistema educativo español coexisten dos paradigmas globales antagónicos de la educación básica – instruccionismo y holismo educativo – compuestos por sus respectivas series de paradigmas educativos y didácticos sectoriales antagónicos: éticos, teleológicos, curriculares, didácticos, instrumentales, organizativos, convivenciales, evaluadores y de autonomía y control; b) la crisis identitaria de la educación básica y de sus etapas, que dificulta la actividad de los educadores/as, consiste en el desplazamiento pendular hacia los paradigmas educativos y didácticos sectoriales, que se presentan como dilemas. La metodología utilizada consistió en una entrevista escrita estructurada mediante un cuestionario flexible y abierto previamente elaborado a 38 educadores/as. Los resultados muestran la aceptación de las hipótesis. Finalmente proponemos también una posible fusión entre ambos paradigmas.Abstract:This article aims to report on the findings of research on the identity crisis of basic education and each of its stages. The research hypothesis were: a) in our current educational system coexist two antagonistic global paradigms of basic education -instructionism and educational holism- -made up of their respective series of sectorial and educational conflicting and didactic paradigms: ethical, teleologic, curricular, didactic, instrumental, organizational, convivencials, evaluators with autonomy and control; b) the identity crisis of the basic education and its stages that hinders the activity of educators is a pendulum towards the paradigms educational and teaching sector, presenting as dilemmas. The methodology used consisted of a written structured interview through a flexible and open questionnaire previously made 38 educators. Results show the acceptance of proposed hypothesis. Finally we propose too a possible merger between both paradigms.

Building inclusive societies that reflect the needs of all categories of people within the social spectrum is critical to achieving sustainable development. This is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which among things seek to ‘by 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex. This places enormous tasks on all governments especially in developing countries like Ghana to ensure that the youth are not left behind in access and control over land as a building block for economic empowerment. This task is particularly critical in view of the sheer numbers of the youth and yet economically marginalized underpinned by high levels of unemployment and underemployment. This case study investigates the youth land rights within the context of household landholdings and allocations dynamics. The study took place in the Techiman area in Ghana. The study sampled 455 youth and 138 household heads. The study revealed that household lands are important building block for majority of the youth in the Techiman area. It gives them a sense of security in the usage. However, the youth’s ability to depend on this source to kick start independence economic life is beset with land scarcity, non-allocation and accumulation by the lineage heads who have prerogative over household lands. The study underscores the need for social welfare scheme for the aged farmers so that they can timely release land to the younger ones without fearing for what to sustain them. There is also the need for government to create land banks to support the willing youth to engage in agriculture.

This article presents a study whose purpose was to examine how the educational system functions following the assimilation of a technological environment and how the relationships between the subsystems are affected and affect each other following this change. The study took place over the course of three years in schools in the State of Israel using questionnaires, observations, case description, and focus groups. This study used the Systemic Control Model (SCM), which provides a system of feedback and control. Through application of the model significant data is received informing one about the progression of the change process while the execution of the stages and various processes are being carried out. The process of introducing the computer as an educational tool into the educational system necessitated the application of two control models: the in-depth control model and the time continuum control model. The in-depth control model examined the various factors that participated in the process and their mutual influence, and the time continuum model received feedback at various points in time. The major conclusion of the study is that the combined activation of both control models is a condition for the success of the assimilation process of any education system change.

Security concerns about immigration are on the rise. Many countries respond by fortifying their borders. Yet little is known about the influence of border security measures on perceived threat from immigration. Borders might facilitate group identities and spread fear of outsiders. In contrast, they might enhance citizens' sense of security and control over immigration. We test these claims using survey experiments run on a nationally representative sample of over 1,000 Americans. The findings show that allocating more government resources to border security increases desired levels of immigration. This effect is likely driven by a sense of control over immigration, induced by border security measures even when the number or characteristics of immigrants remain unchanged. Our findings suggest that border controls, which are widely considered as symbols of closure and isolation, can promote openness to immigration.

Abstract Background: Data on trends in hypertension prevalence and indicators of attainment at each step of the care cascade are required in Chile. Aim : To quantify trends (2003-2017) in prevalence and in the proportion of individuals with hypertension attaining each step of the care cascade (awareness, treatment and control) among adults aged ≥17 years, and to assess the impact of lowering the blood pressure (BP) threshold on these indicators. Methods: We used data from three Chilean national health surveys (ENS 2003; 2010; 2017). Mean systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) levels, hypertension prevalence (BP≥140/90 mmHg or use of antihypertensive treatment), and levels of awareness, treatment and control were assessed in each year. Logistic regression on pooled data was used to assess trends in hypertension prevalence and in its care cascade; linear regression was used to assess trends in SBP and DBP. We compared levels of hypertension prevalence using two sources to ascertain use of antihypertensive treatment (ATC codes from a detailed medicine inventory and self-reported use). The 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines were used to re-define hypertension using lower thresholds (BP≥130/80 mmHg or use of treatment). Results : Hypertension prevalence was 34.0%, 32.0% and 30.8% in 2003, 2010 and 2017, respectively. Mean SBP and DBP decreased over the 15-year period, except for SBP among females on treatment. Adopting the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines would increase hypertension prevalence by 17% and 55% in absolute and relative terms, respectively. Levels of treated- and controlled-hypertension were significantly higher in 2017 than in 2003 (65% vs 41% for treatment; 34% vs 14% for control), while levels of awareness were stable (66% vs 59%). Gender disparities were evident, with higher awareness, treatment and control levels among females in 2003, 2010 and 2017. Conclusions: The introduction of universal access to care for hypertension in Chile in 2005 accounted partly for the rise in levels of treated- and controlled-hypertension since 2003. Lowering the BP threshold would substantially increase the financial public health challenge of further improving levels of attainment at each step of the care cascade. Innovative and collaborative strategies are needed to improve the management of hypertension, especially among males.

In support of sustainable development, the United Nations (UN) launched its Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) with the aims of accelerating progress towards universal access to education, good quality learning and the fostering of global citizenship. This paper explores how and to what extent Stoic virtue ethics and critical Freirean ecopedagogies can advance the UN’s vision for progressive educational systems with transformative societal effects. We propose an integrated solution that provides ecopedagogical concepts a more robust philosophical foundation whilst also offering Stoicism additional tools to tackle 21st-century problems, such as climate change and environmental degradation. The result of the paper is the preliminary theoretical underpinnings of an educational framework that encompasses planetary-level concerns and offers a fuller expression of the terms “sustainable development” and “global citizen”.

Telenursing is a way of caring for and educating oncology patients to promote self-care management at home. The objective of the study was to analyze the scientific evidence on telenursing in the care of oncology patients. This was a systematic and descriptive review in Spanish, Portuguese and English which was available in 3 databases: BMC, Pubmed and Scielo. The articles were selected in English, Spanish and Portuguese with data from 2010-2020. It was found that tele-nursing, a new form of access to the care service provided by nursing professionals to patients with oncology treatment, including technological tools allow a direct and timely relationship to respond to the detection of adverse events after chemotherapy, promote self-care and control and monitor the patient's health status at home. Conclusions: There is a need to use tele-nursing as an opportunity to care for the patient at home through virtual means by providing relevant information to promote self-care and quality of life.
