La tutoría es la acción de orientación presencial o virtual que el docente lleva a cabo sobre el alumnado y que consiste en una ayuda particular entendida como algo intrínseco al proceso educativo del estudiante que suscita su interés, estimula su comportamiento y propone metas significativas en su progreso académico. Así definida, la tutoría interesa como factor de calidad en las metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En este trabajo, desde un prisma cuantitativo, se analiza la eficacia de la acción tutorial vista desde el alumnado con el fin de contribuir a incrementar el aprovechamiento y mejora del trabajo docente. Para ello, la muestra correlaciona las siguientes variables: tres universidades (UBU, UCM y UNIR); dos presenciales y una on-line; dos públicas y una privada; tres titulaciones; dos áreas de conocimiento; dos casos donde prevalecen las tutorías face-to-face y un caso, con contacto digital no directo con el estudiante. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que, aunque las tutorías face-to-face son más valoradas todavía, la modalidad online es cada vez más valorada y útil.

Background: The passage through university is a complex experience that can heighten personal susceptibility to eating disorders. The objective of this research is to determine how gender, age, course, educational faculty, and body mass index (BMI) can influence the risk of eating disorders among university students. Method: A transversal and descriptive study is conducted with a sample of 516 Spanish students (57.2% female, 42.8% male; M_age = 21.7, SD_age = 4.1) following 26 university degrees. The Inventory Eating Disorder-Reference criterion (EDI-3-RF) was administered to the students. Contingency tables were used between categorical variables with the chi-squared statistic, at a significance level of p < 0.05. The Student t-test was used for two independent samples and a one-way ANOVA test with the post hoc Bonferroni test for more than two groups. Pearson’s correlation and a simple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the variables in its quantitative version. Results: It was found that the female students enrolled in the second year presented a greater obsession with thinness and body dissatisfaction (p = 0.029; d = 0.338); the male students practiced more physical exercise to control their weight (p = 0.003); and that students under the age of twenty (p < 0.010; d = 0.584) and students from both the Health (p = 0.0.13) and Law (p = 0.021) educational faculties showed greater bulimic behavior (d = 0.070). More females are underweight (z = 2.8), and more men are overweight (z = 2.4). Normal-weight students scored significantly higher in thinness obsession (p = 0.033). Overweight students scored significantly higher on thinness obsession (p < 0.001) and body dissatisfaction (p < 0.001). Obese students scored significantly higher on body dissatisfaction (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The data obtained in this study, reinforce the hypothesis that the female gender, at an age within the limits of early adolescence, in the first year of the degree courses, with specific university qualifications, and a high BMI constituted factors that could provoke an eating disorder. Consequently, it is necessary to implement preventive measures adapted to the circumstances of each university student.

Housing is the most regulated type of building. Standards significantly influence the design and construction quality, often making universal design more expensive and challenging to implement. This study aims to review current Spanish regulations on accessibility in the housing sector, to promote non-discriminatory and independent access, while ensuring the safety of each resident. The research is exploratory and qualitative, involving a systematic bibliographic review through an exhaustive search of regulations in force until December 2023. In Spain, there are three laws (from 1999, 1960 and 2022), three decrees (from 2006, 2013 and 2015) and a national plan from the regulatory framework. The main regulation, the Technical Building Code, outlines the accessibility, safety and habitability requirements that buildings must adhere to. The most recent is Law 6/2022 on Cognitive Accessibility. Spain has robust legislation with innovative approaches and ambitious goals. However, there is a lack of societal awareness that housing is a fundamental right and that the regulations must be upheld. Several proposals for improvement have been made. These suggested changes address the specific challenges of each region and promote more inclusive and adaptable projects for all people from the early stages of design.

Apenas existen iniciativas de investigación en el ámbito del envejecimiento activo y saludable de las personas con parálisis cerebral. Encontrar soluciones a este reto social requiere una red de excelencia en investigación que contribuya a vivir mejor a toda la sociedad. Se recopiló información sobre parálisis cerebral y envejecimiento concretamente sobre necesidades percibidas, calidad de vida y repercusión del envejecimiento en las personas con parálisis cerebral. Se revisaron los conceptos que constituyen el marco teórico para investigar. A continuación se analizó la literatura encontrada sobre el proceso de envejecimiento. Por último se recogieron atendiendo a los principios de igualdad de oportunidades, no discriminación y accesibilidad universal, líneas de actuación a tener en cuenta por los investigadores en el desarrollo de actividades innovadoras. Invertir en investigación e innovación es esencial para el futuro, es la manera de impulsar productos y servicios y así crear una sociedad mejor para todos los ciudadanos.
