  • Cyberbullying Analysis in Intercultural Educational Environments Using Binary Logistic Regressions
    future internet Article Cyberbullying Analysis in Intercultural Educational Environments Using Binary Logistic Regressions José Manuel Ortiz-Marcos 1 , María Tomé-Fernández 2,* and Christian Fernández-Leyva 1 1 Department of Research Methods and Diagnosis in Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain; [email protected] (J.M.O.-M.); [email protected] (C.F.-L.) 2 Department of Research Methods and Diagnosis in Education, Faculty of Education and Sports Sciences, University of Granada, 52071 Melilla, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The goal of this study is to analyze how religion, ethnic group, and race influence the likelihood of becoming either a cybervictim or cyberbully in intercultural educational environments. In the research, 755 students in secondary education were analyzed in the south of Spain through the Cyberbullying Scale for students with Cultural and Religious Diversity (CSCRD). The analyses were carried out using the Statistical Package SPSS and the STATA software. The results obtained from the Kruskal–Wallis H test showed significant differences according to these aspects, for both the cybervictim and cyberbully parameters. The results stemming from binary logistic regressions confirmed such differences and regarded those students who belong to the Muslim religion, the gypsy ethnic group and the Asian race as being more likely to become cybervictims. Furthermore, these analyses showed that Gypsy and Asian students were also more likely to be cyberbullies than other groups. The main conclusions state that minority groups are more likely to suffer cyberbullying in intercultural educational environments, and that students from these groups are also more likely to become cyberbullies.

  • Archaeological Finds in the Deepest Anthropogenic Stratum at 3 Concepción Street in the City of Huelva, Spain*
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.16.0.3214933 AWE 16 (2017) 1-61 ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS IN THE DEEPEST ANTHROPOGENIC STRATUM AT 3 CONCEPCIÓN STREET IN THE CITY OF HUELVA, SPAIN* F. G ONZÁLEZ DE CANALES, L. SERRANO PICHARDO (†), J. LLOMPART GÓMEZ, M. GARCÍA FERNÁNDEZ, J. RAMON TORRES, A.J. DOMÍNGUEZ MONEDERO AND A. MONTAÑO JUSTO** Abstract Finds from the occupation layer under the water table at 3 Concepción St, in the historic centre of the city of Huelva, Spain, confirm the early development of an important Phoeni- cian emporion, already revealed by pottery and craft and industrial activities in the nearby plot at 7–13 Méndez Núñez St/12 Las Monjas Sq. As well as vessels of Phoenician and local tradition, some Greek Geometric and a significant Sardinian representation have been docu- mented. Whereas the oldest Phoenician pottery in Méndez Núñez St/Las Monjas Sq. was broadly dated to ca. 900 BC, the characteristics of a Tyre jug type 9 (in Bikai’s classification) from 3 Concepción St point more strongly to the 10th century BC. Against the background of the finds in the deepest anthropogenic sub-phreatic stratum at 7–13 Méndez Núñez St/12 Las Monjas Sq. (hereinafter MN/PM) in the historic centre of Huelva,1 we are now presenting the new corresponding finds, just 43 m away, at 3 Concepción St (hereinafter C3) (Fig. 1). The archaeological inter- vention took place in two phases between May 2009 and September 2010. SOME GEOLOGICAL AND STRATIGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS The old Huelva habitat spread out from a higher elevation, configured by a cluster of hillocks (cabezos), towards a lower brackish marsh on the estuary of the Tinto and Odiel rivers.

  • The Heritage of AL-ANDALUS and the Formation of Spanish History and Identity
    International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) Volume 3, Issue 1, 2017, PP 63-76 ISSN 2454-7646 (Print) & ISSN 2454-7654 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7654.0301008 www.arcjournals.org The Heritage of AL-ANDALUS and the Formation of Spanish History and Identity Imam Ghazali Said Indonesia Abstract: This research deals with the Islamic cultural heritage in al-Andalus and its significance for Spanish history and identity. It attempts to answer the question relating to the significance of Islamic legacies for the construction of Spanish history and identity. This research is a historical analysis of historical sources or data regarding the problem related to the place and contribution of al-Andalus’ or Islamic cultural legacies in its various dimensions. Source-materials of this research are particularly written primary and secondary sources. The interpretation of data employs the perspective of continuity and change, and continuity and discontinuity, in addition to Foucault’s power/knowledge relation. This research reveals thatal-Andalus was not merely a geographical entity, but essentially a complex of literary, philosophical and architectural construction. The lagacies of al-Andalus are seen as having a great significance for the reconstruction of Spanish history and the formation of Spanish identity, despite intense debates taking place among different scholar/historians. From Foucauldian perspective, the break between those who advocate and those who challenge the idea of convivencia in social, religious, cultural and literary spheres is to a large extent determined by power/knowledge relation. The Castrian and Albornozan different interpretations of the Spanish history and identity reflect their relations to power and their attitude to contemporary political situation that determine the production of historical knowledge.

  • Spanish Autonomous Communities and EU Policies by Agustín Ruiz Robledo
    ISSN: 2036-5438 Spanish Autonomous Communities and EU policies by Agustín Ruiz Robledo Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 5, issue 2, 2013 Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E - 29 Abstract The European Union affects not only the competences of the Governments and Parliaments, but also of all public authorities, in particular the powers of sub-state entities of compound states, who saw how decisions that their governments could not adopt domestically nevertheless ended up being adopted in Europe. This affected the competences of these sub-state entities, which had no representation in Europe – or, to put it shortly, no voice and no vote. Or rather, in the expressive German phrase: the European Community had long practised Landesblindheit. This paper considers the evolving role of Spanish Autonomous Communities in shaping EU norms and policies. The presentation follows the classical model of distinguishing between the ascendant phase of European law and its descendant phase. Finally, it shall discuss the relationships that the Autonomous Communities have developed regarding the Union or any of its components and which can be grouped under the expressive name of “paradiplomacy” or inter-territorial cooperation. Key-words Spain, Autonomous Communities, regional parliaments, European affairs Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E - 30 1. Historical overview The political and legal developments of the institutions created by the Treaty of Rome in 1957 quickly demonstrated that the European Economic Community was not an international organization in the classic sense, a structure of states which agree in principle on topics far removed from the citizens’ everyday life, but instead it was something rather different, an organization with the capacity to adopt rules directly binding for all persons and public authorities of the Member States.

  • Islamic Civilization in Spain
    Psychiatria Danubina, 2017; Vol. 29, Suppl. 1, pp 64-72 Conference paper © Medicinska naklada - Zagreb, Croatia ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION IN SPAIN – A MAGNIFICIENT EXAMPLE OF INTERACTION AND UNITY OF RELIGION AND SCIENCE Safvet Halilović Faculty of Islamic Education of the University in Zenica, Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina SUMMARY Islam and its followers had created a civilization that played very important role on the world stage for more than a thousand years. One of the most important specific qualities of the Islamic civilization is that it is a well-balanced civilization that brought together science and faith, struck a balance between spirit and matter and did not separate this world from the Hereafter. This is what distinguishes the Islamic civilization from other civilizations which attach primary importance to the material aspect of life, physical needs and human instincts, and attach greater attention to this world by striving to instantly satisfy desires of the flesh, without finding a proper place for God and the Hereafter in their philosophies and education systems. The Islamic civilization drew humankind closer to God, connected the earth and heavens, subordinated this world to the Hereafter, connected spirit and matter, struck a balance between mind and heart, and created a link between science and faith by elevating the importance of moral development to the level of importance of material progress. It is owing to this that the Islamic civilization gave an immense contribution to the development of global civilization. Another specific characteristic of the Islamic civilization is that it spread the spirit of justice, impartiality and tolerance among people.

    La Alhambra in Granada, one of the most beautiful and admired monuments in the wold. An old legend says that the Alhambra was built by night, in the light of torches. Its reddish dawn did believe the people of Grenada that the color was like the strength of the blood. The Alhambra, a monument of Granada for Spain and the world. La Alhambra was so called because of its reddish walls (in Arabic, («qa'lat al-Hamra'» means Red Castle ). It is located on top of the hill al-Sabika, on the left bank of the river Darro, to the west of the city of Granada and in front of the neighbourhoods of the Albaicin and of the Alcazaba.

The Alhambra is located on a strategic point in Granada city, with a view over the whole city and the meadow ( la Vega ), and this fact leads to believe that other buildings were already on that site before the Muslims arrived.
