Les ròtiques constitueixen una classe de sons que presenta extensa al·lofonia en coda sil·làbica. El coneixement sobre l'ús de variants ròtiques és interessant per a l'ensenyament de l'espanyol per a brasilers, ja que les llengües espanyola i portuguesa difereixen quant a la correspondència grafema-fonema. La llengua espanyola presenta dos fonemes ròtiques tap / ɾ / i trill /r/ i com a al·lòfons en coda sil·làbica poden ocórrer taps, trills, fricatives, vibrants fricatives i aproximants. A coda sil·làbica també pot passar l'omissió de la ròtica. Com a fonaments teòrics d'aquesta investigació, recorrem a la Teoria Acústica de Producció de la Parla. Basada en aquesta teoria, amb suport en l'avaluació auditiva de les categories de ròtiques ia partir de la inspecció dels espectrogrames de banda ampla que permeten inferir les posicions dels articuladors, detallem les característiques fòniques dels sons ròtiques. Per corpus de recerca triem la lletra de cançó intitulada Pedro Navaja d'autoria de Rubén Blades. En una tasca de lectura el text va ser llegit tres vegades per set parlants femenins, nadius de l'espanyol, varietats S1 (colombiana), S2 (cubana), S3 I S7 (peruanes), S4 (espanyola), S5 (argentina) i S6 ( mexicana). L'anàlisi de les produccions de ròtiques em coda sil·làbica en les paraules va mostrar més producció de tap en tots els contextos analitzats i per tots els subjectes. En relació amb les paraules expressives revòlver, dona, sorpreses no hi va haver homogeneïtat entre les produccions dels subjectes. les dades obtingudes al qüestionari sociolingüístic coincideixen amb les anàlisis de les produccions de parla realitzades. Aquesta investigació, a més de contribuir a la construcció de coneixement sobre l'ús de les ròtiques en llengua espanyola, podrà oferir desdoblaments per a l'ensenyament d'espanyol per a brasilers i inspirar l'elaboració de materials didàctics que introdueixin, de manera qualificada, qüestions de pronunciació.

En aquest article, s’analitza un corpus d’espanyol de Gran Canària recopilat el 2016 amb la finalitat de proporcionar una anàlisi sociolingüística del processos de lenició identificats en el dialecte. Després d’una descripció detallada de la metodologia i de la preparació de la base de dades, l’autora presenta dos estudis de cas que mostren la utilitat d’aquests corpus. El primer estudi demostra els factors fonètics i socials que controlen la distribució de diferents variants superficials de la /s/ implosiva, i assenyala la variació generalitzada i, per tant, el fet que el debilitament no s’ha completat. El segon estudi proporciona una comparació de la parla espontània i de produccions enregistrades al laboratori per part d’uns mateixos 6 informants del corpus. En aquest cas, podem veure que la variació està subjecta a un altre factor important, l’entorn social, i que les opcions triades en cada moment són reflexos de dues etapes diferents de la mateixa trajectòria de lenició aplicades sistemàticament pels usuaris de la llengua, tot depenent del context.

En aquest article presentem el mètode Anàlisi Melòdica de la Parla, el qual permet fer descripcions completes i objectives de l’entonació d’una llengua, tant des del punt de vista fonètic (melòdic) com fonològic. Està basat en el mètode de base acusticoperceptiva de Cantero (2002), el qual ja s’ha utilitzat en investigacions sobre la prosòdia de diferents llengües. En aquest cas, presentem els resultats de la seva aplicació al castellà i al català.

Each activity that is carried out in daily life, requires in most cases, a reflection of the possible consequences that will have to be faced. Of course, when comparing these results with the phenomena that is observed on a day-to-day basis, it will be necessary to have a large amount of data to help us generate information, which will ultimately serve to make the best decisions. Making these interpretations requires being in permanent contact with world events: economic, social, and cultural. In addition, it will be necessary to know about the different technological elements (for example, software and hardware) that are freely available to the majority of our population; It is of vital importance that the National Autonomous University of Honduras assumes the leadership in terms of the management of statistics and all those technological elements that allow the visualization of data, especially at this time when the country, after the pandemic, needs to return to the path of development.

This study aims to analyze the effects of perceived discrimination on the mental health of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGTB+) population of the Central District (M.D.C.) of Honduras. Mental health dimensions include indicators of depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. This was done through a quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental approach. The study involved 437 people who identified themselves as members of the LGBT+ population living in the Central District of Honduras. The results indicate a high prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety among study participants. Perceived discrimination significantly increases symptoms of depression and anxiety while decreasing the life satisfaction and self-esteem of the surveyed population. People who openly express their sexual orientation and/or gender identity tend to report increased discrimination and anxiety. However, symptoms of depression, life satisfaction, and self-esteem show no significant variation between the two groups. On the other hand, according to self-reported social class, there are statistically significant differences in all mental health indicators. So, participants who consider themselves to be of low social class have the highest scores for discrimination, depression, and anxiety. At the same time, this group reports the lowest life satisfaction and self-esteem levels. It is concluded that discrimination significantly harms the mental health of the LGBT+ population.

The effects of economic restructuring policies, as a consequence of the current development model, oriented to the free market, have a greater impact on certain sectors of the population, so, the access and use of human capital, social capital, and physical assets, is related to demographic aspects of the population; therefore, there are limitations in managing external situations caused by the economic environment. This article aims to characterize the differences in the sociodemographic vulnerability condition for household heads in the Central Region of Mexico, 2015; it is intended to integrate into the analysis of the heterogeneities present in this condition demographic traits such as: female heads of household, adolescents and the elderly; through an Analysis of Latent Classes. After the selection of the model with the optimum of latent classes, three patterns of vulnerability present in the heads of households of the Central Region of Mexico, 2015 were generated; one associated with high vulnerability characterized by deficiencies in the dimensions of social and physical assets; another pattern related to medium vulnerability, which was distinguished by deficiencies in human assets; and one more, associated with non-vulnerability. In this way, it was possible to evidence the divergences present in this condition, through the differences in the probabilities of belonging to the vulnerability patterns of the household heads.

The field of literary research in our country there are certain approaches to travel books, it is of great interest to expand this line of work in order to increase knowledge about publications, authors, literary styles and linkage with the historical context. In this sense, Frank Vincent’s In and out of Central America and other sketches and studies of travel (1890) and Harry Franck’s Mexico and Central America A geographical reader (1927), offer a multitude of descriptions and narrations of his travels in Central America. Vincent and Franck were struck by the city of Tegucigalpa. This is one of the centers of the confluence of colonial history with the vicissitudes of a growing city by the end of the 19th century and throughout the 20th century, and of course it is still building its own legacy. The objective of this study is to highlight the main urban, social and cultural landscape features presented in these two traveling books in order to offer a physical and visual portrait of Tegucigalpa, as an invaluable contribution, are the photographs offered by their authors. The thematic development is based on the notes of Ana María Pellitero and Luis Albuquerque García. The use of Hermeneutics made it possible to analyze the text as a whole. The results found lead us to investigate the architecture inherited from the Spanish colony, the urban spaces that are part of the public and private life of the inhabitants of the city, added to the social and political outlines as part of the cultural landscape.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of El Salvador carried out its educational activities in virtual mode. This article aims to learn about the experience of fourth-year students of the Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, who during cycle II of the year 2021, studied the subject Diagnosis and Psychotherapy of Minor Psychological Alterations II, through a virtual modality. The methodology used was qualitative of an exploratory type with a phenomenological approach. The narrative technique was used. An open questionnaire was developed that explores the dimensions of the students’ experience, advantages and disadvantages related to the virtual, as well as professional goals. The data collection method was the online survey. For the analysis, the information was coded taking into consideration the dimensions of interest. The result obtained shows that in the experience of the subject positive aspects predominate in general, considering it in general as: satisfactory, good, excellent, extensive, interesting, enriching, gratifying, profitable, and enjoyable. Among the advantages that were identified, the following stands out: promotion of autonomy, responsibility, self-taught training together with saving money and time, development of new skills for managing platforms; as disadvantages are, failures in the internet connection, interference from family members, housework, lack of interest and isolation. Career goals are to graduate and earn a graduate degree.

Possibilities that arise with social change, are reproduced in an adjacent manner, with the necessity to find scena1rios that make life possible in a dignified way. Specially, in vulnerable communities; in situations of high risk and objective and subjective conditions, which are produced by adversities and contradictions in contexts. There are many academic efforts, to generalize and/or systematize the experiences, through theoretical and methodological frameworks, which emerge from the conceptions con2tained on the investigation paradigms, which are set on the purpose of understanding and comprehending reality. The objective of this article is to briefly expose the Theory of Change, as an alternative way of thinking, but at the same time as a praxis to establish transformations. The content of this proposal is developed from an analysis of the dimensions of social change, through transformation scenarios that led women of rural communities Langue, Valle, Honduras, to achieve autonomy and management. Achieving a better world is again an utopia, but it is also an assumption that, through social transformations, revolts reality so that a possible, inclusive world is born, with equi3ty and new social relationships; in a socio-historical mo4ment, where the current development model, is putting the sustainability of life at risk.
