Job Satisfaction of Recent University Graduates in Economics Sciences: The Role of the Match Between Formal Education and Job Requirements

This paper aims to analyse the job satisfaction of recent graduates that finished their studies at the Facultad de Ciencias Economicas of the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba. Using a database specially designed for this project, we first look at the relationship between overall job satisfaction and its subdomains. Second, we inquiry on the relationships of overall job satisfaction and some of its subdomain with the degree of matching between the graduate’s education and skills with those required by his/her job, controlling by a set of variables related with individual characteristics, relationship statuses, personality traits, household context, human capital background, occupational context, institutional background, and job status. Finally, we look at the recent graduates’ job satisfaction by differentiating specific subgroups: by gender and matched/mismatched job statuses. The evidence shows that eight subdomains are positively associated with overall job satisfaction; they are satisfaction with pay, fringe benefits, general work environment, relationship with supervisors, intellectual challenge, job responsibilities, the possibility of professional development, and working hours. Additionally, the econometric analysis shows that overall job satisfaction and its subdomains are affected differently by individual characteristics, social and economic context, personality traits, occupational context, job status, among others. Importantly, a better match between formal education and job requirements impact positively on job satisfaction and its subdomains. These results give support to the approach of splitting overall job satisfaction into different dimensions to identify the sources of the values of job satisfaction differences.

En este artículo me propongo historizar la conformación de la colección folklórica de la Reserva Patrimonial del Museo de Antropología de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, y, particularmente, la sección de musicología: las políticas institucionales que encauzaron estas prácticas de recolección y conformación del acervo, los criterios teóricos y metodológicos implicados en la conformación de la sección musicológica y la trayectoria de esta sección como parte del proceso de puesta en valor de la misma. Partiendo del caso del Instituto de Antropología, Lingüística y Folklore (IALF), y su análisis, se busca aportar a la reflexión sobre la relación entre folklore y nación en el periodo comprendido entre 1941 y 1956.

Lo impactante y lo local: criterios de noticiabilidad y fuentes de información predominantes en la producción de noticias de delito en dos canales abiertos de Córdoba

espanolLos medios de comunicacion son uno de los actores protagonicos en dar forma a las maneras de vincularnos con la tematica del delito. Entre ellos, la television mantiene una vigencia central que la coloca como principal productora y distribuidora de este tipo de noticias. Desde un enfoque cualitativo, a partir de la revision de antecedentes sobre la tematica y el procesamiento de entrevistas realizadas en dos de los tres canales abiertos de la provincia de Cordoba (Canal 10, de la Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, y Canal 12, propiedad del Grupo Clarin), el articulo analiza aspectos relacionados con contenidos de delito e inseguridad y los modos de produccion de dicha informacion. Especificamente, se ocupa de los criterios a los que los periodistas recurren para identificar la noticiabilidad de los acontecimientos delictivos y las fuentes que priorizan en sus coberturas. Para ello, se plantea una perspectiva comparativa de ambas senales, donde los eventos locales marcan la pauta informativa, algo que distingue particularmente a los canales cordobeses respecto a otros del interior con cabecera en Buenos Aires. La indagacion muestra similitudes y diferencias en el tratamiento de las noticias sobre delito en dos medios con estructuras de propiedad tambien disimiles. EnglishCommunication media are key players in shaping how we relate to the topic of crime. Among them, television stands center stage, being the main producer and distributor of news on this theme. Our article adopts a qualitative approach, reviewing previous work on the subject as well as interviews carried out at two of the three free-to-air channels available in the province of Cordoba (Channel 10, from the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, and Channel 12, owned by Grupo Clarin). In doing so, it analyzes crime and public security contents and the modes of production behind them. Specifically, this article focuses on the criteria employed by journalists when identifying the newsworthiness of criminal incidents and the sources they prioritize in their reporting. To this end, it adopts a comparative view of both free-to-air channels, in which local events guide everyday coverage, something that distinguishes these Cordoba-based channels from other provincial channels headquartered in Buenos Aires. Our review shows similarities and differences in the treatment of crime stories in the surveyed Cordoba-based channels, which also have dissimilar ownership structures. portuguesA midia e um dos principais atores na definicao das formas de vinculacao com a tematica do crime.

Ambas investigaciones exploratorias han formado parte de una misma línea de trabajo, y proponemos unir las indagaciones para encontrar puntos de contacto entre ambas universidades. Los resultados a los que hemos llegado muestran que la educación superior requiere la construcción de espacios de pensamiento y acciones que garanticen la inclusión de la perspectiva de género.

ORAL CARCINOGENESIS BIOMARKERS IN ORAL CHRONIC MECHANICAL IRRITATION-ASSOCIATED LESIONS

Previous works have shown clinical data suggesting that chronic mechanical irritation (CMI) could be a risk factor for oral cancer (OC). However, there are no known patterns of biomarkers in CMI indicative of cellular malignancy. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify a biomarker pattern of differentiation (Ck19) and cell proliferation (Ki67) in CMI-associated lesions similar to those observed in OC. Study Design: A cross-sectional study with adult patients (n = 61) of both sexes with lesions associated with CMI and with oral cancer were included. CK19 and Ki67 immunohistochemistry were carried out in specimens of both types of lesions, and the patterns were described according to previous publications. The present study was approved by Ethics Committee of the College of Dentistry, Universidad Nacional de Cordoba. Results: Ki67 overexpression and a CK19 focal pattern with strong intensity in basal and parabasal cells were observed in CMI lesions, similar to that observed in OC. Conclusion:There is no scientific literature on biomarker patterns of oral CMI. Therefore, the described pattern, particularly Ck19, is novel and could be indicative of the relation between CMI and oral carcinogenesis.

Laboratorio de Hemoderivados de Córdoba: modelo de producción pública de medicamentos

El Laboratorio de Hemoderivados de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba es una empresa pública dependiente de una universidad nacional, que desde 1968 cumple una importante función social como proveedora de medicamentos de primera calidad y a bajo costo para el país y la región. Es un ejemplo de cómo una institución estatal sin fines de lucro, con objetivos sociales, puede alcanzar altos niveles de calidad, crecer, autofinanciarse y llegar a ser la mayor de Latinoamérica. Este artículo aborda entre otros aspectos las principales características de esta empresa y por contraposición deja al desnudo el carácter abusivo de las multinacionales farmacéuticas, que fijan precios exorbitantes para sus productos, o directamente no los fabrican si no les resultan rentables. Se señala también la necesidad de que la producción estatal de medicamentos sea encuadrada y promovida en forma global dentro de un programa nacional de salud pública a cargo del Estado.

A partir de dichas herramientas, aportadas por los estudios de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad, se analiza la creación e implementación reciente del Programa Institucional y Multidisciplinar en Temas Prioritarios de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina). El enfoque metodológico es cualitativo y la estrategia de investigación empleada consiste en estudio de caso, aplicando técnicas de revisión bibliográfica, análisis documental y entrevistas semiestructuradas.

¿La cuarta pared como lenguaje compositivo?

El presente trabajo corresponde a un recorte de la tesis de grado realizada por el autor para la Licenciatura en Arte Escénico de la Universidad Nacional de La Rioja, asesorado por la docente Daniela Martin (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) en el año 2017. Consiste en la presentación de un bagaje teórico reflexivo destinado a echar luz sobre los modus operandi y posibilidades compositivas de la cuarta pared. En una primera parte nos enfocamos en los aportes de Denis Diderot, Bertolt Brecht y Augusto Boal en cuanto a la distancia teatral. Luego, exploramos y buscamos desmantelar palabras pertinentes a la discusión sobre la cuarta pared tales como convención, código, ficción y acontecimiento. Nuestra investigación procede paulatinamente desde la revisión de los componentes del acontecimiento teatral visto desde Jorge Dubatti, hasta poner la lupa sobre la tensión entre las perspectivas de quien produce escena y quien la percibe. Esta tensión deriva en reflexiones aplicables en la escena contemporánea capitalizadas como estrategias distanciantes y complicidades.

QUALITY IN EDUCATION AND COLLEGE S TUDENTS: TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES

Ponte Academic JournalJan 2018, Volume 74, Issue 1 QUALITY IN EDUCATION AND COLLEGE S TUDENTS: TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVESAuthor(s): Oswaldo Mendez Ramirez ,Sindy Yaneth de la Torre PachecoJ. Ponte - Jan 2018 - Volume 74 - Issue 1 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2018.1.7 Abstract:. College students in Latin America and Europe consider higher education institutions as a desirable and necessary piece in their life trajectories. From a critical perspective, they expect education offered in such spaces to be of quality and free. The objective of this paper is to present how university students from four countries (Chile, Mexico, Argentina and Spain) define quality in education. Fieldwork for this qualitative study used natural semantic networks on a sample of 350 students (n = 350) in four countries (Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Spain). Seventy students were sampled in each Latin American country while 140 subjects participated in Spain. Research was carried out in Chile in April of 2012 (Universidad de Chile), in Mexico in May of 2014 (UADEC-Coahuila), Argentina in October of 2014 (Universidad Nacional de Cordoba) and in Spain in April of the 2015 (Universidad de Salamanca). Results show that for college students in these four countries quality in education: �Is public education, as a right that transmits knowledge through the teaching-learning process, in which the main actors are the teachers and students. The process is characterized by hard work, that produces (or should produce) equity, equality and inclusion�.

Semi-automatized segmentation method using image-based flow cytometry to study sperm physiology: the case of capacitation-induced tyrosine phosphorylation.

Is image-based flow cytometry a useful tool to study intracellular events in human sperm such as protein tyrosine phosphorylation or signaling processes? Image-based flow cytometry is a powerful tool to study intracellular events in a relevant number of sperm cells, which enables a robust statistical analysis providing spatial resolution in terms of the specific subcellular localization of the labeling. Sperm capacitation is required for fertilization. During this process, spermatozoa undergo numerous physiological changes, via activation of different signaling pathways, which are not completely understood. Classical approaches for studying sperm physiology include conventional microscopy, flow cytometry and Western blotting. These techniques present disadvantages for obtaining detailed subcellular information of signaling pathways in a relevant number of cells. This work describes a new semi-automatized analysis using image-based flow cytometry which enables the study, at the subcellular and population levels, of different sperm parameters associated with signaling. The increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation during capacitation is presented as an example. Sperm cells were isolated from seminal plasma by the swim-up technique. We evaluated the intensity and distribution of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in sperm incubated in non-capacitation and capacitation-supporting media for 1 and 18 h under different experimental conditions. We used an antibody against FER kinase and pharmacological inhibitors in an attempt to identify the kinases involved in protein tyrosine phosphorylation during human sperm capacitation. Semen samples from normospermic donors were obtained by masturbation after 2-3 days of sexual abstinence. We used the innovative technique image-based flow cytometry and image analysis tools to segment individual images of spermatozoa. We evaluated and quantified the regions of sperm where protein tyrosine phosphorylation takes place at the subcellular level in a large number of cells. We also used immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis. Independent experiments were performed with semen samples from seven different donors. Using image analysis tools, we developed a completely novel semi-automatic strategy useful for segmenting thousands of individual cell images obtained using image-based flow cytometry. Contrary to immunofluorescence which relies on the analysis of a limited sperm population and also on the observer, image-based flow cytometry allows for unbiased quantification and simultaneous localization of post-translational changes in an extended sperm population. Interestingly, important data can be independently analyzed by looking to the frame of interest. As an example, we evaluated the capacitation-associated increase in tyrosine phosphorylation in sperm incubated in non-capacitation and capacitation-supporting media for 1 and 18 h. As previously reported, protein tyrosine phosphorylation increases in a time-depending manner, but our method revealed that this increase occurs differentially among distinct sperm segments. FER kinase is reported to be the enzyme responsible for the increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation in mouse sperm. Our Western blot analysis revealed for the first time the presence of this enzyme in human sperm. Using our segmentation strategy, we aimed to quantify the effect of pharmacological inhibition of FER kinase and found a marked reduction of protein tyrosine phosphorylation only in the flagellum, which corresponded to the physical localization of FER in human sperm. Our method provides an alternative strategy to study signaling markers associated with capacitation, such as protein tyrosine phosphorylation, in a fast and quantitative manner. None. This is an in vitro study performed under controlled conditions. Chemical inhibitors are not completely specific for the intended target; the possibility of side effects cannot be discarded. Our results demonstrate that the use of image-based flow cytometry is a very powerful tool to study sperm physiology. A large number of cells can be easily analyzed and information at the subcellular level can be obtained. As the segmentation process works with bright-field images, it can be extended to study expression of other proteins of interest using different antibodies or it can be used in living sperm to study intracellular parameters that can be followed using fluorescent dyes sensitive to the parameter of interest (e.g. pH, Ca2+). Therefore, this a versatile method that can be exploited to study several aspects of sperm physiology. This work was supported DGAPA (IN203116 to C.

Sperm chemorepulsion, a supplementary mechanism to regulate fertilization.

Are human spermatozoa able of chemorepulsive behaviour? Capacitated human spermatozoa are able to be chemorepelled by synthetic Progesterone Receptor Ligands (sPRL, known as contraceptives) and zinc (a cation released by the oocyte upon fertilization). Moving cells can be oriented towards or against a molecular gradient, processes called chemoattraction and chemorepulsion, respectively, which have been described in unicellular organisms such as amoebas and bacteria, to organismic cells such macrophages and developmental cells. In the case of spermatozoa, chemoattraction may help the finding of an oocyte and has been widely studied in various invertebrate and mammalian species; however, chemorepulsion has not yet been verified in spermatozoa. This is an in vitro study involving human, rabbit and mouse spermatozoa which were used to perform 3-30 experiments per treatment. Human sperm samples were obtained by masturbation from healthy donors who gave written consent. Only those samples exhibiting normal semen parameters according to current WHO criteria were included in the study. Rabbit spermatozoa were obtained by artificial vagina whereas mice spermatozoa were obtained from epididymis. The sperm selection assay (SSA), originally designed to evaluate sperm chemoattraction towards progesterone (P), and a video-microscopy and computer motion analysis system were used to test sperm chemorepulsion. Additional kinetic parameters were also determined by video-microscopy and computer motion analysis. In some experiments, the level of induced acrosome-reacted spermatozoa was determined. Rabbit mating manipulation was achieved to perform the sperm-oocyte co-incubation assay. Sperm accumulation in the well containing 100 pg/ml of sPRL was lower than the culture medium negative control (P < 0.05). The percentage of sperm persistence against the well containing 100 pg/ml ulipristal acetate (UPA) (P = 0.001), and the percentage of sperm showing a repulsive pattern of movement (a linear trajectory followed by a transitional one after turning against the UPA), were higher than the culture medium negative control (P = 0.049). Sperm accumulation was diminished when spermatozoa where exposed to a homogeneous distribution of 100 pg/ml sPRL combined with a chemotactic gradient of progesterone (P), with respect to the culture medium negative control (P < 0.05). These results were reverted when non-capacitated spermatozoa were used to perform the same experimental settings. The accumulation of spermatozoa against 100 pg/ml sPRL was lower than the culture medium negative control also in rabbits and mice (P < 0.05). The relative number of rabbit spermatozoa arriving to the vicinity of the oocyte was diminished under the presence of 100 pg/ml UPA (P = 0.004). Sperm accumulation in the well containing zinc was decreased compared to the culture medium negative control (P < 0.05). A homogeneous distribution of zinc combined with a gradient of 10 pM P, was lower than the culture medium negative control (P = 0.016). The results were quite reproducible with two different methodologies (accumulation assay and video-microscopy combined with computer motion analysis), in three mammalian species. The experiments were performed in vitro. Even though a quite complete characterization of sperm chemorepulsion was provided, the molecular mechanism that governs sperm repulsion is currently under investigation. Since the chemorepelled spermatozoa are those physiologically ready to fertilize the oocyte, these findings may have both biological and clinical implications, preventing either polyspermy under natural conditions or fertilization under pharmacological treatment with sPRL. The study was financed by the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (Argentina). The authors declare that they do not have competing financial interests. N/A.

Trabajos finales de investigación de la Licenciatura en Fonoaudiología, Córdoba, Argentina

University students produce thesis for obtaining graduate degree. This production helps to visualize aspects of reality in which a profession is involved. The aim of thisstudy was to describe the production of thesis by year, the type of relationship between the director and the area of the topics approached in the career degree at the School of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (UNC), Argentina, from 1993 to 2014. Four hundred sixty-one theses were analyzed with a descriptive studyThe results showed a higher participation of external director’s professors than directors professors from the School of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences in the first eleven years, while in the following eleven years this distribution is reversed. In relation to topics area it was observed in both the first eleven years and the following eleven years, a predominance of audiology area. The level of association was statistically significant among the first eleven years and the following eleven years in the language and stomatognathic system areas. The results found in the School of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at UNC differ from other studies inArgentina and Latin America. The historical and scientific context could affect the observed changes in the thesis.Future research are necessary to analyze the balance between needs of knowledge and scientific production,as well as to identify areas and topics of the profession requiring priority in promoting research.

Remembering Sergio Dain

It is with profound sadness that we report on the sudden passing away of Professor Sergio Dain, an Associate Editor of the journal General Relativity and Gravitation. He succumbed to cancer on February 24th, 2016. Although only 46, he had already been an internationally recognized relativist for quite some time. Sergio received his Ph.D. from the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina in 1999 for his numerous contributions to asymptotically flat space-times and gravitational radiation. Part of his thesis work was carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute—AEI) in Golm, Germany, under the auspices of a Fellowship of the German Academic Exchange Service. In 2000

Prácticas científicas de académicos de licenciaturas en Nutrición de dos universidades públicas argentinas

En las universidades argentinas, las prácticas científicas de sus académicos poseen ciertos rasgos compartidos por todas las disciplinas, pero adquieren particularidades en cada una de ellas. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar y comparar las prácticas científicas de los académicos de las licenciaturas de Nutrición (LN) de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) y la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL), Argentina, con relación a formación de grado y dedicación académica. El estudio es descriptivo transversal. Se trabajó con docentes categorizados de las Licenciaturas en Nutrición de la UNC y UNL. La muestra fue accidental por conveniencia. Para recoger la información se aplicó un cuestionario autoadministrado. Entre los resultados destaca que las diferencias de las prácticas científicas de los académicos investigadores de las instituciones estudiadas radica principalmente en la influencia de la tradición y el estilo disciplinar (LN y Bioquímica) al momento de plantearse las acciones y decisiones a seguir con respecto a las actividades de investigación en la universidad.

Development and validation of an Argentine set of facial expressions of emotion

ABSTRACTPictures of facial expressions of emotion are used in a wide range of experiments. The last decade has seen an increase in the number of studies presenting local sets of emotion stimuli. However, only a few existing sets contain pictures of Latin Americans, despite the growing attention emotion research is receiving in this region. Here we present the development and validation of the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Expresiones de Emociones Faciales (UNCEEF), a Facial Action Coding System (FACS)-verified set of pictures of Argentineans expressing the six basic emotions, plus neutral expressions. FACS scores, recognition rates, Hu scores, and discrimination indices are reported. Evidence of convergent validity was obtained using the Pictures of Facial Affect in an Argentine sample. However, recognition accuracy was greater for UNCEEF. The importance of local sets of emotion pictures is discussed.

Desarrollo de una conciencia ambiental en una propuesta de intercomprensión en lenguas romances para estudiantes de nivel medio

El presente trabajo analiza el tratamiento de temas ambientales en una propuesta de Intercomprensión en Lenguas Romances (IC) que el equipo de InterRom, de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, ha elaborado para el desarrollo de las capacidades de lenguaje de estudiantes de los últimos años de la escuela secundaria desde la óptica de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de IC en torno a los géneros de textos. Esta propuesta integra los enfoques plurales de las lenguas con aportes del interaccionismo sociodiscursivo (BRONCKART, 2007), de la teoría sociocultural del desarrollo humano (BRUNER, 1994; NELSON, 1996; ROGOFF, 1993; VYGOTSKY, 1962, 1988) y de los estudios cognitivos sobre la comprensión y la producción de textos (BRITTON; GRAESSER, 1996; HAYES; FLOWERS, 1980, HAYES, 1996; SCARDAMALIA; BEREITER, 1992). En la convergencia de esas perspectivas teóricas, la propuesta promueve acciones de intercomprensión en francés, portugués, italiano y español, relacionadas, con la conservación del ambiente. Las actividades incluyen el trabajo con diferentes géneros textuales que abordan problemáticas ambientales. En relación con estos temas se propone la realización de actividades que promueven, al mismo tiempo, la reflexión sobre temas ambientales críticos y el desarrollo de estrategias de producción de textos escritos en español. En ese sentido, es posible sostener que la propuesta se funda en un enfoque social e intercultural.

Usos, prácticas y consumos culturales de nuevos medios en la Biblioteca Mayor de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Un estudio de caso

In this work the cultural consumption, uses and practices of new media were studied in the Biblioteca Mayor of the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba in 2012-2013. The impact and changes in librarianship projection services were weighted from its update to technological convergence and the subsequent incorporation of new media in the field of the library. This investigation was interdisciplinary with a dual quantitative and qualitative methodology that implied two moments: empirical and critical-hermeneutical. Fieldwork was conducted by applying various techniques within the ethnographic method of case study through: surveys, interviews, participant observation, triangulation of sources and recovery of institutional documents. It is concluded that due to the implementation of converging technologies at the Biblioteca Mayor, it appears to be practices and uses of cultural consumption of new media in need of clear policies on access, dissemination and socialization of information established from the library management and the promotion of a constant training and development of library staff to develop new services and new users interaction. This requires from the institution a constant weighting of the human capital in terms of cost-benefit in relation to the projection of the library services.
