This article presents a review of generic competences in sustainability in Higher Education, and provides a compilation of these sustainability competences, as an instrument to facilitate their assessment in the university studies and degrees. The adaptation context to assess through competences that has been proposed by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), along with the global crisis in which we find ourselves, challenges us to provide undergraduates with a competence-based sustainability awareness so that they are able to solve the numerous challenges they will encouner in their professional fields. This important task of assessing generic competences in sustainability is not easy because it involves two new paradigms for college teaching: on the one hand, the adaptation to the new educational model that follows a competence-based assessment; and on the other hand, the development of a sustainable awareness that leads us to create a better world to future generations. This study is a review of skills in sustainability of the academic literature and we propose a compilation of generic competences in sustainability in order to facilitate their assessment. Drawing on the contributions of experts, we present a compilation of competencies and sub-competencies or indicators, in order to offer a specific tool that allows us to assess sustainability in any university degree.
Los actuales avances en tecnología biomédica han alcanzado resultados hasta ahora inimaginables, tanto en la terapia de enfermedades como en el perfeccionamiento de la especie humana. Es necesario plantearse si el deseo de perfección posee límites precisos, y si es necesario aplicar un principio limitador que garantice el respeto de la naturaleza humana e impida la asunción de riesgos que puedan afectar a generaciones futuras. El principio de precaución se presenta como elemento racionalizador frente a cualquier intento de un progreso ciego o despótico. Pero dicho principio puede derivar hacia concepciones confusas cuando se desliga de su componente constitutivo: la virtud de la prudencia.
RESUMEN: Desde la Transición Demográfica y Epidemiológica, marco conceptual de nuestra investigación, planteamos qué ocurrió en la provincia de Tarragona entre 1900 y 1935 (antes de la Guerra Civil española). A principios de siglo dicho territorio ostentó la esperanza de vida más alta de todas las provincias españolas y ésta aumentó año por año durante ese período. Se analiza la evolución de la mortalidad general, la mortalidad infantil y las causas de muerte en la provincia de Tarragona comparándola con Cataluña y España. Los datos consultados provienen de defunciones por causa de muerte del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y del Institut d'Estadistica de Catalunya. El estudio epidemiológico se ha realizado mediante una agrupación de grandes causas de muerte; y la metodología usada es la estandarización indirecta. Los resultados muestran que entre 1900 y 1935, la esperanza de vida aumenta unos 20 años, con un mayor crecimiento a favor de las mujeres. Esta esperanza de vida a favor de Tarragona se debe a la menor incidencia de muertes provocadas por enfermedades infecciosas, la promoción de la calidad de vida a través de las pioneras acciones de los higienistas (principalmente de Reus entre 1910-20), la educación, un alto nivel de alfabetización de los padres, una buena alimentación en nutrientes y un buen clima. Palabras Clave: Esperanza de vida, mortalidad infantil, enfermedades infecciosas, transición epidemiológica, calidad de vida, España. ABSTRACT: From the Demographic and Epidemiological Transition, conceptual framework of our research, we propose what happened in the province of Tarragona between 1900 and 1935 (before the Spanish Civil War). Early in the XX century, this territory holds the highest life expectancy of all the Spanish provinces, which increased year per year as the century progressed. The evolution of general mortality, infant mortality, and causes of death in the province of Tarragona are analyzed in comparison with Catalonia and Spain. The data used was derived from statistics on deaths classified according to cause of death from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística and the Institut d'Estadistica de Catalunya. This epidemiological study has been performed by grouping major causes of death; and the methodology used is that of indirect standardization. The results show: that between 1900 and 1935, life expectancy increased about 20 years; and that women's life expectancy grew more than that of men. Life expectancy improvement for Tarragona is due to the lower incidence of diseases caused by infectious diseases, promoting quality of life through the pioneering efforts of hygienists (mainly between 1910-1920 Reus), education, high levels of parental literacy, good diet in nutrients, and good weather. -mortalidad infantil-eran Baleares y Tarragona y la más alta Cáceres, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Jaén, Albacete, Badajoz y Almería".
