In the last years, the transformations and the configuration of the territories lead to a constant analysis of the processes and the impacts on the structures and the use of the territories, especially in the communities that seek alternatives for their development. In this context, community development is presented in different ways, an alternative for development is rural tourism that can lead the local population to a territorial appropriation. Therefore, the available literature was reviewed to know and understand the studies of rural tourism linked to territorial appropriation. To do this, a compilation of information was made, to summarize and analyze research on rural tourism as an activity that has led to territorial appropriation. An advanced search for keywords in web search engines was carried out to build a database with 52 references from the period 2000 to 2019. According to the results, Mexico registers the largest number of studies regarding rural tourism and territorial appropriation with 13 documents, followed by Colombia with 10 documents, the type of published research focused on articles by 73%, the methodology most used was the qualitative approach with 88%, the year 2016 had the highest number of publications with eight articles and the positive social impact records the highest amount with 42%. Likewise, 36 investigations are delimited in case studies, 82% of the studies have local geographic scope. Finally, 20 documents stand out with social studies, this according to area of study.

This research addresses the evaluation of the satisfaction and loyalty of tourists from the perspective of the attributes that a tourist destination has. The results found that emotional attributes are the predictors with the greatest effects on tourist satisfaction, above the functional attributes of a destination. It is an empirical, ex-post-facto study, based on the analysis of exit surveys, applied to national and international tourists at the airports of four destinations in the Mexican Pacific Coast. The model designed for the study was based on the Satisfaction Theory of Oliver, R. L. (1997). Regarding the evaluation of the impacts on satisfaction and loyalty, the statistical tool of Structural Equation Models was used. The conclusions showed that the experiential component of a tourist destination is the one that has the greatest impact on the satisfaction and loyalty of tourists.

Introduction:  The increase and concern that cyberbullying arouses in the educational community shows the need for evidence-based programs to prevent and intervene in this type of violence. The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the Prev@cib 2.0 program to reduce cyberbullying and promote helpful behaviors and perception of help from the teacher.   Method: A pre-post-test design of repeated measures was used with a control group and intervention group, that received the Prev@cib 2.0 program for 4 months. 580 adolescents between 12 and 17 years (M =13.52, SD =1.27) participated in the study.   Results: The results showed a significant decrease in cybervictimization and cyberaggression, and an increase in helping behaviors and perception of teacher help in the intervention group after the program, compared to the control group.   Discussion or Conclusion: These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the Prev@cib 2.0 to prevent cyberbullying in the adolescence. Furthermore, this study shows the importance of the involvement of the entire educational community to prevent this problem.

Creativity is a capacity related to divergent thinking, fundamental in the changing society of the 21st century, to train competent students to function in society. There are various psychometric tests to measure creativity, among which the Creative Intelligence Test (CREA) stands out, widely used in various age groups. Thus, a systematic review of the use of the CREA Test in education has been carried out, examining in depth 37 articles, particularly focused on the analysis of the relationship between creativity and three variables such as academic performance, age and gender. On the other hand, how to enhance creativity in students has also been analyzed. It is concluded that creativity is developed in educational environments where active student-centered methodologies are applied, in which both flexibility and fluency as well as originality are promoted.

Introduction.  The social context can influence the biological maturation process, favoring or damaging the functioning of the nervous system. The impact of the environment on the frontal lobe is of great relevance since the so-called Executive Functions (EF) are developed there. EFs are in charge of planning, anticipating, executing behavior and emotional regulation. Developing of intervention strategies that favor prosocial behaviors in children by promoting listening, dialogue, decision, and transcendence could generate changes in behavior and benefits processes related to executive functions. The Education by Experience (ExE) Model focuses on addressing issues related to respect, commitment, coexistence in harmony, gender equality, human rights, care for nature, health, and well-being, taking into account the school as an agent of change through the participation of students, teachers and parents.   Method. The objective of this study was to know the effect of the ExE intervention program on the EFs of childhood and adolescence in the Mexican state of Hidalgo. A total of 316 boys, girls, and adolescents aged 8 to 15 (142 men and 174 women), 4th, 5th, and 6th grade of primary school and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade of secondary school, both from public schools, participated. Participants were selected by simple random sampling and assigned to one of the two experimental groups or to the control group. A pre-post pre-experimental type design was used with three groups (Experimental Group A, Experimental Group B, and Control Group). The recommendations and guidelines of the Code of Ethics of the Psychologist were followed. The evaluation consisted of applying a battery of neuropsychological instruments suitable for the Mexican child and adolescent population, known as BANFE-2, for its acronym in Spanish. The experimental and replica group received training in 10 of the components of the EXE model. Subsequently, the data were analyzed.    Results. The measurements of the neuropsychological tasks of the EFs carried out before and after participating with the ExE Model allowed to identify that the children of the primary and middle school presented improvements in EFs mainly related to the orbitomedial region and in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The most obvious changes were observed in the primary school participants, where there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post-evaluation of the experimental groups, which were not observed in the control group. These improvements are linked in primary school participants to the identification and regulation of emotions, while in middle school adolescents, the changes are related to the ability to plan, organize and solve problems. In both primary and middle schools, it is observed that the effect size index ranges from low to moderate.   Discussion and Conclusion.  The students who participated in the ExE program showed an increase in the scores in executive functions tasks, specifically in those obtained in the orbitomedial and dorsolateral subscales, which are related to the identification and regulation of emotions. This study allows us to recognize the impact of the ExE educational model as a preventive strategy and facilitator of personal and social resources with positive results in the tasks of executive functions. Finally, the role of teachers as facilitating agents of change and the advantages of implementing a model based on values as a strategy for the promotion of well-being in educational settings is discussed.

Nomophobia is the feeling of discomfort, anxiety or irrational fear that results from not having a mobile phone. In order to achieve the objective of revealing and analysing the feelings of university students, we have used a qualitative methodology based on the analysis, interpretation, and organisation of information provided by a forum that was part of a fourth-year subject in a primary education degree. Results have been drawn from the opinions of participants regarding diverse judgments of nomophobia linked to professional or personal issues. For this reason, thematic blocks have been established according to various meanings that form part of the discourse. In conclusion, agreement was reached that the participants do not see themselves as addicts, but rather as individuals who are attracted to mobile phones, yet they are concerned about this circumstance and believe they will have to manage the situation in their role as future educational professionals.

The purpose of this article is to explore the artist profiling by Argentine author Leila Guerriero, an outstanding member of the Latin American movement that calls itself the New Chroniclers of the Indies. In these texts, Guerriero captures these Hispanic American creators’ voice, contradictions, and obsessions through her personal gaze, in which the author’s subjectivity emerges. Perspective is a key piece in Guerriero’s narrative dexterity, one that allows her to produce these biographical discourses. Using a hermeneutical approach, in her interaction with her interviewees, as well as in her interpretation of their accounts and actions, the chronicler seeks –and finds– “plots,” in Paul Ricoeur’s terms. With them, and resorting to tools from a wide array of genres, she designs these profiles, or possible versions of a life, that often challenge the official ones.

A crucial element in the search for new media business models has emerged in recent years in the shape of branded content departments. A search for renewed sources of funding has become necessary as a result of digitisation and changes in media consumption. The new way of engaging brands through quality content requires professionals who can cope with this hybridisation between the editorial and advertising worlds. Through interviews with executives from the main Spanish media, this qualitative research defines the organisational and functional structure of these departments, as well as the working methods they use and their relationship with the newsroom and other departments. The conclusions show the diverse range of profiles and professional skills are involved, as branded content department managers prioritise the search for talent. The contribution of this study is to represent, for the first time, the typical organisational chart and workflows of these departments. The aim is that others should be able to use these models in their own practice, as the interviewees say that they do not know how other media are resolving the dilemmas inherent in the recent formation of these structures.

I propose an analysis of the production of La Celestina in Spain by the Canadian director Robert Lepage, from the dramaturgical perspective of the stage plastic. The study of the staging’s visual signs links to the representativeness elements in the text which are enhanced in different measure in the version. The goal is to highlight the fidelity to the aurean literary-dramatic text through aesthetic and stagecraft means of representation of the contemporary stage, which hybridize in the theatre other narrative languages taken from other arts.
