Reseña del libro "Resiliencia en Procesos de Duelo"

Although not everyone is aware of it, data available on the Internet are very useful and have a great potential to help our society. The digital platform Twitter is a social network where people sometimes express their feelings and emotions. And this paper arises from the idea of doing an analysis of these data through a Machine Learning tool, to find a psychiatric picture of depression, and if it is possible, the associated suicidal tendency. Twitter data extraction tool has been Tweepy, and with the profile data users, it has been made, an excel database that collects the information. Next, with the Machine Learning tool called UMAP, an unsupervised analysis of the database has been carried out, thanks to which it has been possible to differentiate three groups, with a very low inter cluster distance, which suggest that each observation looks a lot like its neighbors. From these three groups, we find one which behavior or use of the platform would be associated with a normal or standard way. The two other two group of meet part of the characteristics associated with depression.  

The reinvention of hope as an ethical horizon of politicization at the service of social justice requires the emergence of subjects with a sentient-thinking capacity for collective action to situatedly de-hegemonize the modes of social organization beyond the systems of capitalist, colonial, patriarchal oppression. By placing the analysis in the present time, a continuum is identified between the postmodern deanthropologization movement in the field of social sciences and the factual political minimalization of the subject in the dynamics of the neoliberal world, in whose center the absence of a concept is affirmed. and practice of a subject politically capable of facing the complexity of the current crisis of civilization. It is a theoretical-practical problem of an epistemic-political nature that opens the way to reflect on the role of Latin American social sciences in the construction of answers to the question formulated by Zivechi about how to change the world from the zone of non-being? ?. This confronts this question through three moments. Initially, it starts from an ontological detour to interrogate the anthropological conceptions in the social sciences and with it, in the second moment, to map the theoretical-practical fading of the modern subject and its political powers in the context of neoliberal capitalism, in the face of which , in the third moment, guidelines of inspiration are outlined for the formation of political subjectivities as an in-arise from alterity.

The objective of this article is to analyze the individual-collective motivations for the formation of a women's committee and how it becomes a social network to generate mechanisms of community participation in a neighborhood in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. From a qualitative approach and through the phenomenological method, the experience of seven women who make up the community committee was recovered, to whom a semi-structured interview was applied.

Different disciplines address the issue of care, among them, Social Work as a profession that cares socially for the subjects. This work describes the importance of the intervention of Social Work in the training of caregivers for people who require care, especially care for the elderly. The participation of the Social Work professional with this group demands an ethical-political position based on human rights and gender equality that promotes more democratic care actions and social justice. The results of two socio educational intervention actions with elderly caregivers and/or disabled people, showed that not only it gave them theoretical-practical elements to reduce the difficulties they face daily when providing care, but also opened the discussion about the economic, political, cultural components and structural inequalities that contribute to the lack of social responsibility in care.
