The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was designed to articulate values, guide behavior and protect the basic rights that are inherent to all human beings. The aim of this research is to identify ways that the international social work community explicitly reflects the ideals of human rights in its codes of ethics. The social work codes of ethics from 20 nations were examined for explicit reference to "human rights." Fifteen (75%) codes explicitly referred to human rights. Five codes of ethics did not refer explicitly to "human rights" anywhere in the document. Language is a powerful tool in social activism. The authors discuss recommendations for future action.
BiSKY Team is an aerospace-focused student group from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU, Bilbao, Spain) where it is a recognized teaching project. It was born in 2018 and its main activities deal with the development of the technologies involved in the design, manufacture and launch of suborbital rockets. This team is currently the only Spanish university team involved in the research and construction of hybrid engine rockets. The primary objective of the team is to enable young science and engineering students to acquire expertise in the aerospace field, and several transversal skills as well, by designing and constructing space vehicles. Further purposes include promoting science and engineering among high school students and children and to also reduce the existing disparity between male and female involvement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Besides, the project will make interesting contributions to space science by providing researchers with the means to test their experiments in zero gravity and high-altitude vacuum.BiSKY Team is divided into several specialized groups: i) Aerodynamics and Recovery, ii) Propulsion, iii) Avionics, iv) Flight Control and Simulation, v) Business and Management and vi) Structure. This interdisciplinary project makes the collaboration among all groups crucial. In this regard, the team stands for respectful cooperation between all its students. BiSKY Team is an example of a multidisciplinary student project that implements innovative technologies allowing not only its members, but also members of other student research groups and training centres, to enter the competitive sector of aerospace engineering and space science research. Even if this is a university studentdeveloped and managed project, vocational training schools' involvement is also considered. Close contacts with research and technological institutions as well as industrial companies are pursued looking for technical advice and financial support.Within the operations of the team, several phases are being undertaken in order to acquire the expertise necessary to design, manufacture and launch a hybrid engine rocket that reaches an altitude of 100 kilometres, also acknowledged as the Karman Line. The phases include the development of two engine test stands, a flight simulator and the complete avionics for the rockets and test stands. The expertise gained through the implementation of the mentioned technology is being applied in the hybrid engine rockets of the so-called Cosmox family, whose primary mission is to reach space and allow the research experiments to be carried out. The design of the Cosmox and future families of rockets is iterative, giving continuity to the project by allowing next generations students to get involved.
Los parques y los jardines suponen lugares especiales dentro del entorno urbano. En ellos los ciudadanos realizan actividades de esparcimiento y ocio, además de ser lugares adecuados para las relaciones sociales y para las actividades culturales. Estos espacios deben ofrecer a todos sus usuarios, incluidas las personas en situación de discapacidad la comodidad y seguridad adecuada. El turismo para todos debe responder fundamentalmente a unos principios claros de compromiso en la búsqueda de la equidad y la igualdad desde la perspectiva de un turismo inclusivo. La accesibilidad debe entenderse de manera global ya que afecta a toda la cadena del turismo. Es necesario cuidar todos estos eslabones por separado, pero es imprescindible que se garantice la relación de accesibilidad entre unos y otros. El objetivo general de este estudio ha sido conocer el grado de accesibilidad universal y adaptación a personas en situación de discapacidad de los parques y jardines de la ciudad de Marrakech, en concreto se han estudiado, los parques públicos (Parque Cibernético Arsat Moulay Abdeslam y Parque El Harti), y los jardines privados (Jardín Secreto y Jardín Majorelle). Se ha confeccionado para ello, una serie de indicadores de Accesibilidad Universal siguiendo las especificaciones del Diseño para Todos, basadas en las requerimientos de la norma internacional ISO 21542:2011 Building construction. Accessibility and usability of the bult environement, adoptada por la norma marroquí NMISO 21542:2018 Construction inmobilière. Accessibilité et facilité d´utilisation de l´environement bâti. Llegando a la conclusión de que ninguno de los parques y jardines estudiados, son universalmente accesibles, aunque hay que reconocer que se han realizado actuaciones públicas importantes en esta materia, pero también es cierto que aún nos encontramos muy lejos de que la accesibilidad sea una característica común en los parques y jardines de Marrakech.
La importancia del turismo cultural dentro de la industria turística europea y el protagonismo de la visita a los museos como una de las actividades más populares, ha impulsado el estudio sobre la accesibilidad universal de los museos. En este trabajo y estudio de caso, se ha realizado un trabajo de campo basado en la evaluación del grado de accesibilidad de los museos de Caen y sus exposiciones museográficas. Los resultados muestran que los museos Le Mémorial, Musée de Normandie y el Musée de Beaux Arts de Caen (Francia), no son plenamente accesibles universalmente a todas y para todas las personas con discapacidad.
