Sustainable development is a desirable, global challenge that is as complex as it is necessary. While individual actions are positive, effective progress must start from a collective commitment. In line with this, recent research points to an urgent need for an increased effort to make sustainability education a key element in the basic literacy of all people. This study takes on this challenge of environmental education and changing attitudes in order to reach sustainable community development while relying on the principles of the value-belief-norm model (VBN). A quasi-experimental research design was used to analyze the impact of learning service projects on the activation of personal norms of university students. The results show that although no statistically significant differences appear between pre-test and post-test measurements, there is a clear trend towards improvement of personal norms about sustainable development, which encourages further research in this area.

ICWAR 2014Disability does not have nor had the same perception in all civilizations. Its treatment and considerations have been very complex\ud and diverse within its regions and have generated multiple discriminatory behaviors. Today, we live in a new social paradigm\ud developed with human rights in mind that people with disabilities enjoy. This new model, more human, has been adopted in most\ud countries of the world. These rights are consistent with equality in opportunities thanks to the support in new policies and new\ud action programs in favor of education, health, and work rights to help them enjoy their full potential.\ud The rights for people with disabilities has been reinforced with the support and legislative recommendations made from the\ud European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom of 1953, from the Program of World Action\ud for Disabilities (Decade of United Nations for People with Disabilities between 1983-1992), from the European Action Plan for\ud People with Disabilities 2003 - 2010, Strategies about Disabilities 2010-2020 in the European Union. In Spain, with the law of\ud April 7th of 1982: Law of Social Integration for the Handicapped (LISMI) and also, with the law of 51/2003, of December 2nd, of\ud Equal Opportunities, no Discrimination and Universal Accessibility for People with Disabilities (LIONDAU).\ud Society has come a long way which has allowed us to change from humiliating conceptualizations like: crazy, demential, disable,\ud handicapped, deficient, etc., to the new concept of people with disabilities. Regardless of this improvements, reality shows the\ud precariousness situation that this people live, especially, women and girls with disabilities. They have difficulties even to be able\ud to read and write. They are excluded from the education system, work training and some basic health services that ignore them and\ud deny their right to reproduce and deny their sexuality. Therefore, they suffer a greater social exclusion and are more vulnerable to\ud violence situations for multiple discriminations: to be a woman and to have a disability. They face a social image that is invisible\ud and anonymous in our society

The proposal of the research is to review and analyse the role of the media as constructors of social imaginaries, and to do so, we will analyse the power of the audiovisual industry to create and re-create stereotypes about lesbians, and as generators of a social imaginary, we will also analyse lesbian plots and characters, through which direct messages are sent to society in general, but also to lesbians.Finally, after conducting discussion groups and focus groups with lesbians who have participated in the research, we present some conclusions.

The impact and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in healthcare settings has been increasing since 2019. This is greatly due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. But beyond accommodating an extraordinary and complex situation in terms of healthcare services, or beyond replacing personalised care delivered by healthcare professionals (HCPs), has there been a process of information and consultation for communities and HCPs? Do we have the basic requirements needed to make such use commonplace in health care? What will the impact be on communities and their governance? Have we arrived here by consensus or by imposition? Our purpose has been to conduct a transnational analysis by approaching communities, social actors, and healthcare professionals in three territories in a pilot study following a qualitative methodology. The aim being to discover the potential impact of such measures beyond the right to health and if such measures are compatible with the purpose of population settling in rural areas. Furthermore, to identify if this entails a conflict of value and priorities or if we need new ethical reviews both for communities and healthcare professionals.

Introducción. La violencia vicaria ha permanecido mayoritariamente invisibilizada como tipo de violencia de género antes y durante el recorrido de la Ley de Violencia de Género en nuestro país. Objetivo. Este artículo tiene por objetivo visibilizar este tipo de violencia de género revelando las características conceptuales y contextuales que lo enmarcan. Por tanto, la finalidad de este trabajo es dar voz a esas protagonistas, conocer la opinión de profesionales que, desde una atención interdisciplinar, han intervenido diariamente con mujeres que han denunciado situaciones de maltrato: policías, juezas, psicólogas, trabajadoras sociales y abogadas. Metodología. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, se ha optado por desarrollar una metodología cualitativa consistente en la realización de 12 entrevistas semiestructuradas y 2 grupos de discusión con profesionales que intervienen en este tipo de violencia. Resultados y Conclusiones. A partir del testimonio de todas ellas se construye un diálogo que nos permite visibilizar su labor diaria, su opinión sobre este tipo de violencia de género, las principales motivaciones que llevan a los victimarios a ejercerla, las consecuencias que tiene sobre sus víctimas; no sólo las mujeres, sino también los niños y niñas, parejas actuales, allegados, mascotas… que habitan en un hogar en el que se ejerce violencia de género. También se destacan algunas estrategias de prevención consideradas significativas para implementar en el futuro con el fin de poder erradicarla.
