Systems Thinking for T‐Shaped Sustainability Education
Sustainability represents a complex and evolving paradigm calling for competences necessary for a deep understanding of the interdependencies among human, environmental, economic, and cultural dimensions. Along with a review of the literature and an analysis of official guidelines from leading international institutions, this study assesses key references for the competences necessary for sustainability education. Findings show that systems think…
La capacitación, la enseñanza y la investigación para una política de reconstrucción nacional en el área de la salud
Este texto reproduce el discurso pronunciado por el Dr. Mario Testa, el 28 de junio de 1973, en el aula magna de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Las líneas introductorias que lo anteceden, escritas por el propio autor, contextualizan no solo el momento histórico de aquella universidad, a pocos días de la asunción de Rodolfo Puiggrós como rector interventor, sino el sentido del proyecto de renovación pedagógica que propo…

Propensity Score Matching of Children in Kinship and Nonkinship Foster Care
This study compares the permanency outcomes of children in kinship foster care with a matched sample of children in nonkinship foster care in Illinois. It addresses the issue of selection bias by using propensity score matching (PSM) to balance mean differences in the characteristics of children in kinship and nonkinship foster homes. The data come from the March 1998 to September 2007 six-month files submitted by the state of Illinois to the fed…
Salud reproductiva e interculturalidad
This opinion piece by several authors is based on a text that describes the conflict between the Mapuche community and a physician from the health-care system of the province of Neuquén when the Mapuche women entered the sexual and reproductive health program. Opinions are expressed in two different ways: first, with specific reference to the text and then, as a subjective elaboration. Among the issues analyzed in more depth are the regulations g…
Integrating Substance Abuse Treatment and Child Welfare Services
Alcohol and other drug abuse is a major problem for children and families involved with public child welfare. Substance abuse compromises appropriate parenting practices and increases the risk of child maltreatment. A substantial proportion of substantiated child abuse and neglect reports involve parental substance abuse. Once in the system, children of substance-abusing families experience significantly longer stays in foster care and significan…
Vida
The paper is a gaze upon life, in its multiple expressions and from different points of view, pointing at the contradictions generated under such approach.The notions "intra", "inter" and "trans", taken from Piaget, in comparison with the "moments of thinking" taken from Hegel, are used to emphasize the dialectical process of living, both in the biological and social sense, jointly with the marxists concepts of "in itself" and "for itself". Meani…
Subsidized guardianship
This article presents third-year findings from the Illinois Subsidized Guardianship Waiver Demonstration. The study blends an experimental design to test the efficacy of the intervention with an observational component to assess the generalizability of the experimental findings. Three inferences were drawn from the study: (1) subsidized guardianship significantly boosted permanence under conditions of controlled experimentation; (2) the selection…
