Whenever I like the idea of \u200b\u200ba friend on the need to raise the age for entry to university. As a school teacher, assured me that was nonsense to claim a compulsory education to 18 but at the same time it seemed a waste to sit at that age students in a lecture hall. The problem is that children grow fast, but adolescence has been extended until at least age 20 or older. So his proposal is to extend to fourteen primary and melt between 14 and 20 high school, high school and vocational training with a title (mixed) every two years. University education could take between 20 and 26, with three levels or cycles, each also with its own degree.

I know. A superior proposal. Perhaps as valid as any other, with the disadvantage of approval for Europe. But think of some advantages:

-A current major concern is the employability, job training. With this scheme and would be a first level of training aimed at working something together with some general knowledge at age 16. At 18, even more focused. At 20 would be perfectly prepared to work in almost all of the first jobs that can provide the labor market or have two years of maturity and practice to enroll in a degree.

-Teens make contact long before the skills, the skills, with "reality" and would face a race with much more discretion than to specialize both his professional future to simply grow as human beings. Nobody could get to the University without knowing a trade and no one should leave it without the maturity that you understand the essential concepts and profound of his profession or society.

Surely the idea I like for my own personal career and my current job as professor of communication. In my case, if I could design my own studies, I would have followed a mixed school with a FP that had to do with communication in general. Not that hard: enough to take the current Bachelor of Arts (that almost nobody has), perhaps with a pinch of technology, and a cycle through picture or graphic arts. Next, an upper-Image, Communication, Manufacturing or Production. With 20 years I would to study Journalism, Advertising or Communication Studies. And every two years would reach a new academic level: graduate, master's and doctoral degrees. At 26, begin to do the thesis if my career was directed towards the University.

The new FP, which is published in the Official Gazette of the 12th of March, includes the recognition of university credits and access to new levels. Leave a wide margin at the universities: between 30 and 120 credits (in fact, between 60 and 120). Not bad. The bad thing is that PF will lose graduate credit for the source materials, introductory theories, etc and they will meet again with more practical content, which they are supposed to dominate more. In short, the system must be improved. But do not go astray.

However, we can fall into the usual pendulum English: higher vocational education is the same as the first two years of college? Well certainly not, nor is it now penalize those who have chosen high school. In fact, the great sin is division between vocational and high school as well try to convert the University into a Technical College. Make

systems of first and second division is stupid. Life takes care to place each one in its place.

FP and other proposals do not we get into politics

Franco's phrase "do as I do not get into politics" has served to illustrate the aversion we have in this country to exercise, defend and hold political views as well as political office. In reality, position and ideas seem incompatible concepts. Look for Zapatero, boasting leftist banners Booty finished and applauded by workers leaving the poorest, least socially protected and the electric bill through the roof (just an example).

We do not want get involved in politics and ideas. Apparently some only accept the offer job opportunity or enrichment but not because they intend to do things as they believe should be done. Even for them as most people think as long as they vote. That kind of marketing misunderstanding which has become survival of the parties. And is that companies themselves should be geared to demand, that is the key to marketing. But ideas do not, except that become commodities, products consumption.

I wonder if we are a free society and ideas, not ideologies. Just feet of those who limp. The other day I was going to invite a radio talk but the head of information I gave a "first I'm going to find out which leg limp, did not seem a question about my ideological positions but on my mangers. You know, I said, I have the freedom of the gypsy in me control my hunger. I have no editorial imposed. I have no advertisers to not piss. I have no interest shameful. But I have ideas, ways of looking at life in general and specific issues. And I would hate to betray.

As I am realistic and more, I know the possibilism is to some extent inevitable. Although presented as a champion of white to finish in the black seems so unworthy do not understand how to Zapatero has not dropped their heads in shame. I know, for that we must be ashamed.

iPad Readers: some peculiarities

Faculty In my few months investigating how we read the newspapers in the tablets. Worldwide brought to light the results of the early work, mostly focused on the ad.

One of them, prepared by Alex Wang, University of Connecticut, comparing the same notice published in the printed and Wired iPad. Wang concludes that interactive ads tend to generate greater commitment, understanding the message and intent to purchase ads in the print publication. Another

study, that conducted by Time Inc., Interpublic, Universal McCann and EmSense (the now famous neuromarketing company), was quick to point out that the best ads for IPAD should be clean and emotional, without much complexity. Affinity

, the audience control company, developed other similar research to confirm that the advertisements in the print edition of Sports Illustrated were recalled 21% and caused a 34% more positive reactions (clicks on the web, better views, etc). The percentage of readers who visited the company's Web site after seeing the announcement in a iPad almost twice as many readers of the print ad. Meanwhile, GfK MRI, another research firm hearings, working in similar directions.

But without doubt, one of the most striking is the studies developed by Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP + B) in cooperation with Bonnier. According to the paper, the behavior of users of tablets is evolving very rapidly (and will do so in the next months, sure, to the extent that we become more familiar with the device), but for now the first peculiarity is that respondents did not consider that they were not reading, or surfing, or playing, but simply using the iPad. Even one of the focus group suggested the need for a new term: "iPadding (iPad"?).


The study identifies a new process in making decision iPad read a magazine about it on paper. Is no longer read for a moment of relaxation or seeking specific information, but first you take the IPAD and only then deciding what to do with it. Personally I am sure this process is temporary, but while it lasts, the editors should think in terms of attraction of the apps in the store as one thinks in terms of covers to attract the eye at the newsstand. Weird

Other findings of the study are, for example, that people feel proud of their selection and collection of applications in the iPad, we teach them to users, we identify in some way and are also taking some private sense. And is that the tablets are gaining a high personal component, like cell phones: do not like to share (I know families where there are fights in the classroom). The study raises it as an opportunity: how can we create experiences that enhance user identity that feeling? Can incorporate ways to allow users to customize their own experiences?

More findings: tablet users still read paper magazines, do not eliminate impulse purchases at the newsstand and the paper has more calmly to the beach or gym. A recent survey by Popular Science showed that 32.9% of people had downloaded the application also bought at the kiosk.

People appreciate the aesthetic and ads when relevant to the topic of the magazine thus accept them as a positive part of the experience of the reader. Of course, confusion often arises between editorial content and advertising. Also, magazines often open the door to exploring the web and like least when the door opens to a dead end. They do, of course, pop-ups or interruptions in reading but they appreciate the extra content online that allows them to delve into issues that interested them. Undoubtedly one of the most attractive to us, that we focus more on news content than advertisers.

Bonnier R & D and CP + B and their work will move forward in research prototypes ad. We make prototypes of newspapers and eyetracker. And the first test are not saying still affects us too the device. Let's wait few more months, maybe a few years because we're only beginning to detect peculiarities.

The nuclear electric pendulum

We move like pendulums. Nuclear power is on the cusp, tic, electricity is very expensive, tac. Now sounding sensible arguments that two days ago were almost against the system. The same happened with the financial crisis, with the housing bubble. The discourse of sustainability, sustainability is not genuine business case for selling hybrids or bulbs, part of a fall in consumption. Are we ready?, Say advocates of "progress" (is that the world is upside down ").

In the U.S., the automotive industry is concerned about a growing trend among young people: no longer yearn to buy a car as they take the registration certificate. While driving you can not use the time with social networks. Passed from father to public transport driver to stay connected. It is still an emerging trend, but could mean a "new paradigm" (another).

Children aware sometimes a tambourine ecology, grow, and may consider redirecting their consumerism. Do not want to go back to the caves, and threaten those who do not want to hear or talk of "rollback" Can evolve in directions that do not require much energy, so wasteful?.

To those who love the outdoors, it puts us slightly tense to live all year round at 22 degrees. It's okay to have some cold or heat when appropriate. Nor is it necessary that the nights are so bright.

consume too much. We believe it is essential and it is not true. There is progress, is the waste, is unconsciousness. And the bad thing is that here there is no pendulum. Whenever we want more.

University we have and we want

A English newspapers have taken to talking about the University. Several rector elections almost simultaneous with the morbillo, it seems inevitable, the partisan color, the first complaints of Bologna system, buzz association titles excess few students, problems funding for running costs, decrees disappointing as the statute PhD student or , obscurantism and suspicion in calls "agency quality" deciding on her future employment of teachers, territorial disputes with called "campus of excellence" , discounted items of research ... the problems are piling up. No one is happy.

I will not go too deeply into the whys, but surely the university is the university we have. And this is the feeling of teachers, researchers, students, parents, businesses ... and the media.

media relations with the University have always been peculiar, especially since the existence of journalism studies. The "spoons" despise graduates, graduates despise their training, managers want to make pasta riding their own masters and despise the other, the audience despise journalists unprepared ... and he is ready answers to the inspiration of the gods, self-formal education and despises but would like to give and occasionally gives a pease master class and worthy of more traditional theoretical professors. We, the excess contempt. Also unknown.

and ignorance extends to information about the University itself but is played to produce rankings of quality, competitiveness, efficiency even asking the university themselves. Without going any further, I received yesterday from a diary apparently a questionnaire sent to 3,000 teachers. I never answer because not only get angry when reading the questions but I understand that response helped the confusion. But in my personal blog allows me to tantrum, so fill in public journalistic questions for those who may be interested. Here are: 1 .-


Could you point, by the order and his understanding about the five universities where the degree is taught better than you are a teacher, excluding yours? Please let us indicate the reason for your answers and a prominent feature of every site mentioned .

Answer: No, I could not point to any. The reasons are many: do not know, no two the same curriculum and at least would have to attend classes at five universities. I can throw me into the pool and talk the talk, even by brand (you know, Harvard is Harvard, say, right?) I'm sorry to inform you that in fact I can not even speak well either of my own qualifications, assuming that imparts only one (I have come to teach in four simultaneously and I am not a rare case), I will not classes of my colleagues, or their classroom practices, or your tuition. Although if you want I can also speak from hearsay.

2 .- If I could choose the university where teaching assignment, which would you choose?

A: Actually this is a possibility so remote that it is hard to respond seriously. Furthermore no wage differences, and opportunities for improvement in the professional career center. I gather that the question refers only to the center (faculty or school) to the University, so we can head to the region is looking better than the Polytechnic or the reverse. But it happens almost the same. Interestingly, the differences lie in geographical or administrative issues. In Spain I would choose a university based in an autonomous community which pays more for its own sake, because the work is identical. In Europe, I would choose almost any other country other than Spain for the same reasons. In Germany, for example, would charge nearly triple and have a third of the students.
3 .-
Research is one of the factors that determines the quality of a university. Could you tell us the points of research that highlights the center and the recognition that they have both nationally and internationally?

A: The research centers are not only in charge of teaching and administration. They are the departments or institutes who theoretically could "highlight." In fact they are the teams of people who do, often belonging even several universities. Some teams are relatively stable, but others are constantly changing around a particular "boss."

4 .- Do you think your students complete their college degree with adequate preparation to effectively respond to the demands of the labor market?

A: Seeing the unemployment rate, it appears that the demands of the labor market are scarce. If we talk about efficient response as well .... should be assumed that the University can adapt to the crisis of each company every year, changing curriculum, programs and even teachers as if they were the workshops of INEM. In any case, I think it's vocational training to respond to that demand. Some careers are more professionalism that others. Of course we can always close all races Philosophy, for example, because the labor market does not need philosophers. What weary of this issue, indeed.

5 .- Finally, what are three features stand out from the university in which you are providing your degree?

A: This is the question that I like. "I can say in the government team that occupies the rectory, on the regional university system to which it belongs and even English university? Yes, I know they want our opinion on the "mark" of the University, with the illness of their territorial or commercial name and the ranking order. The fact is that essentially all English universities are equal, can not be distinguished too by legal definition, may appear but a mirage. The career of academics depends more on the areas of knowledge, evaluation committees and so-called quality agencies of universities. For not working there is no conscience, no sense of staff, or belong to the same "company" or "organization." The English system is based on the "hood" nothing to do with the Anglo-Saxon copy this type of reporting and reporting. And that is the ranking to be published, that of "chapels." Although please do not be based on articles or papers that nobody reads, or that no matter conferences, or research projects that serve only to write more or more papers at conferences. The report will

. University X is a number of positions at the University Y. And the English university is in the post zillion thousand world rankings. But we will not say what school we want and we can have. Even in the media. Contempt. And ignorance.

Construction of indicators of social reintegration of juvenile offenders in criminal law

This report corresponds to the final delivery of the study, "Construction of indicators of social reintegration of young offenders from the criminal law", awarded by Fundacion Paz Ciudadana in public bidding conducted by the Ministry of Justice.

The study consists of two core analysis: prospective and retrospective. The prospective analysis refers to the estimation of recidivism of people sentenced under the law of Adolescent Criminal Responsibility in the first year of enactment. Recidivism rates are assessed for a follow-up period of one year. All data are used nationally. Rates are estimated for different categories of stratification variables (sex, age, region, type of intervention, crime, institution name, project name, antecedents, present interim). All stages of construction of SPSS file from which are the tests is documented in a replicable to construction. Also deep analysis was made for the same purpose. Estimated recidivism rates and discussed throughout this report refer to the results of the prospective analysis.

Reason For Hole In Heart

Y you, whose are?

A rainy Sunday. As for reflection. Last week, should be at the carnival and for that flowered wildlife management and human resources so much talk now of happiness was occupied by long conversations and "conceptual." Come on, it asked me to down a ladder! what my concept of human being . Barely 24 hours later, another person asked me what I believe . And the next day, my vision global policy and, in the rough.

are not regular conversations. There is usually no time or desire to think, much less heard, not being to tell you your life, etc, etc. But I'm reading Antonio Damasio , listening to "coaches" media as Mario Alonso Puig , that monster pop happiness is Santiago Vázquez , and even my friend Ramon Gil (which was what put me on the track of the joy of Spinoza, rather than happiness). They are pragmatic intellectuals. With science, the daily management or technology to fill their agendas. But using concepts of weight almost daily too. And then you are more likely to fall into those topics.

I do not know if I see around me in difficulty (always am) or those in crisis are asking me and want to find solutions in my responses. Do not mess me more. 'm To the point.

all started with the Eyetracker we use in the School to investigate the eye movements when watching a film, an advertisement, a website or a newspaper. That led us to neuromarketing and unfailingly to the neuroscience ( stating that the links to wikipedia are for spreading). Suddenly

discussion arose as to whether, like the emotions, beliefs and even spirituality reside somewhere in the brain. Where else? In the ass?, Asked me (sorry, but when I put it ...) In the soul, someone answered me. And me, who, to finely I lack the gift of faith and I question not only the dogma dogmatic intelligence but gave me a laugh. The irreverent laughter. Sorry again.

But, of course, reading Damasio, if they ask for your beliefs, knowing that whatever you say they're going to go through I do not remember what part of the lobe corresponding, ie, a few neurons with connections sometimes very hot those in the buff, fan, Christian, patriotic, fundamentalist, etc, etc ... then better shut up or make a joke for happiness or joy.

Or you're with me or against me. With Eyetracker we found as people, before you tessitura of "And you, who you are", rate reaches up to the look: Zapatero-Rajoy, Coke, Pepsi, football basketball, men and women, car-bike, Rolling-Beatles. Come on, your eyes betray you for a moment, but then direct them to vote, not going to be that if I am man, for example, a package that looks more tits.

And this reflection is the famous selective distortion, squirm everything to understand what we understand. What is my concept of human being? Well, sometimes I think that is a fuzzy concept, halfway between the brain and ass. Others call it a soul and is pissed off at me for using words they see as a lack of respect that of course I agree. Be a problem communication. Or that people get nervous if not always "with theirs." How boring.

Snowboarding Compared To Skiing

President, I thought that ...

I ignorant. Do not know why if I exceed the speed limit of 30 miles per hour 100 euros fine with me, and if as pipes in the street or walk with the dog on the beach fine with me and even 300 1,125. Both news were a year ago, but I think there has been no "revolution" legislation that has transformed the landscape. Today started the speed limit on highways and expressways to 110 km / h. When people less skilled is given power over other things happen how are you. Actually much more serious, but apparently these are better understood.

I do not know whether to give ideas, but I am ignorant of the most appropriate to take serious decisions affecting others, so, Mr. President, listen to what has occurred to me:

could be put limits on power consumption , plus it can be scary in two ways: fining who exceed the arbitrary barrier that occurs to the Minister or by directly cutting the light of the offender (he prefers the former, imp, I know, you then have to charge a of advice .)

Something similar could be done with the water consumption, sometimes walk more scarce than oil and it could continue to delay maintenance work on the network.

As times, which limit unless data traffic. Anyone who goes too fast for the network, upload or download too many gigs, should be subject to fine "Sinde" or police intervention. In addition, certain that something worn cables and even the air if the connection is wireless.

At air traffic controllers will be encouraged (that's what we do as anyone) to declare an indefinite wildcat strike, which saved on kerosene aircraft on the ground it is an outrage.

Speaking of oil, a limit is imposed on all products (yes, the president, if one day read the Wikipedia, they rub their hands). As when the ties of the minister. It was not air conditioning but for the whole quantity of tissues derived from petroleum that one day he read an article. Okay, I will pass, that line of text that did not (shame on the Internet, which has reduced the attention). But the plastic itself, man. Imagine, the president, all we can get into the lives of citizens if we limits on the use of plastics (not manufacturing, of course, that no, that to see if we are going to happen, we did not find employment). Who says oil

says gas. heating, hot water ... And kitchens! Any penalty must be introduced in homes, do not go to these voters believe they can do what they want by simply being at home. Eat more cold things, which eat too many fried or cooked, in addition to cholesterol, have the government breathing on his neck. You have to be responsible, that the crisis requires all of us.

can follow. Just a matter of taking a run. Furthermore, if the president, you will not resubmit. It is a great opportunity to change this country. The time to make serious reforms even if they are unpopular.

And this is well ordered. Character, bucking. Because we are leaders and command. Much thought and study both packages , man. Indeed, it occurred to me also ....
