R-chaosoptimiser: an optimiser for unconstrained global nonlinear optimisation written in R language for statistical computing
Authors: Velásquez H. Juan David
Published: February 2023

This paper discusses using R-chaosoptimiser, an R language package for nonlinear optimisation based on gradient techniques and chaos optimisation algorithms. Its implementation was based on three building blocks which could be executed alone or in combination: the first carrier wave algorithm, the chaos-based cyclical coordinate search method and the second wave carrier algorithm. Using chaos optimisation algorithms allows the tool to break away from local optimal points and converge towards an overall optimum inside a predefined search domain. Within the previous components, a user would be specifying the BFGS algorithm for refining the current best solution. Using the BFGS algorithm is not mandatory, so that its implementation was able to optimise problems having objective function discontinuities. However, the BFGS algorithm is a powerful local search method, meaning that it is used to exploit current knowledge about an objective function for improving a current solution; an explanatory example is presented.

Designing and simulating a nitinol-based micro ejector
Authors: Mora Sierra Yesid , Ávila Bernal Alba
Published: February 2023

This paper describes pico-droplet ejector design and simulation. The actuation system was based on two interconnected nitinol membranes' shape memory effect. Ejected volume was 12pL and it operated at 30°C to 64°C. Ejecting excitation voltage was 12V and the ejecting energy required by actuator operation was 26µJ per drop. These pico-liter ejectors could have applications in making, lubricating and cooling integrated circuits.
hydraulic behaviour indicators and simplified flow models
Authors: Patiño Paola , Cruz Camilo , Torres Patricia , Laín Santiago
Published: February 2023

Hydrodynamic phenomena take place within water treatment plants associated with physical, operational and environmental factors which can affect the water quality. This study evaluated a hydraulic clarifier's hydrodynamic pattern using sludge recirculation through continuous tracer test leading to determining hydraulic behaviour indicators and simplified flow models. The clarifier had dual flow with a predominantly complete mixture during the hours in which higher temperatures were reported for affluent water compared to those reported inside the reactor, causing the formation of density currents promoting mixing in the reactor and increased turbidity in the effluent. The hydraulic indicators and the Wolf-Resnick model had higher sensitivity to the influence of temperature on reactor hydrodynamics.

Authors: Mago Ramos María Gabriela , Valles Defendine Luis , Olaya Florez Jhon Jairo
Published: February 2023

A methodology was developed for analysing faults in distribution transformers using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS); it consisted of organising and creating of database regarding failed equipment, incorporating such data into the processing programme and converting all the information into numerical variables to be processed, thereby obtaining descriptive statistics and enabling factor and discriminant analysis. The research was based on information provided by companies in areas served by Corpoelec (Valencia, Venezuela) and Codensa (Bogotá, Colombia).
A virtual sensor for monitoring excited thermal turbogenerator rotors
Authors: Gómez Sarduy Julio R. , Monteagudo Yanes José Pedro
Published: February 2023

The working temperature of an electric generator's parts is important for its proper operation. The turbogenerator rotor's temperature is of particular interest regarding its protection and maintenance. Because of the difficulty of measuring the temperature of dynamic parts with real and implicitly robust artificial neural network (ANN) sensors it was decided to use a virtual sensor (VS) by which average rotor winding temperature is estimated. Because ANN are characterised by learning through training rather than formal descriptions, this has made them the preferred choice for modelling processes involving complex interrelated variables; some are found in the field of instrumentation, as in this research. This paper presents the development of an ANN-based VS applied to an electricity generating company's 4 MW turbogenerator.
Neyman-Scott-based water distribution network modelling
Authors: Alcocer Yamanaka Víctor Hugo , Tzatchkov Velitchko G.
Published: February 2023

Residential water demand is one of the most difficult parameters to determine when modelling drinking water distribution networks. It has been proven to be a stochastic process which can be characterised as a series of rectangular pulses having set intensity, duration and frequency. Such parameters can be determined using stochastic models such as the Neyman-Scott rectangular pulse model (NSRPM). NSRPM is based on resolving a non-linear optimisation problem involving theoretical moments of the synthetic demand series (equiprobable) and of the observed moments (field measurements) statistically establishing the measured demand series. NSRPM has been applied to generating local residential demand. However, this model has not been validated for a real distribution network with residential demand aggregation, or compared to traditional methods (which is dealt with here). This paper compares the results of synthetic stochastic demand series (calculated using NSRPM applied to determining pressure and flow rate) to results obtained using traditional simulation methods using the curve of hourly variation in demand and to actual pressure and flow rate measurements. The Humaya sector of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, was used as study area.
Design in the natural stone transformation sector: evaluating a new concept
Authors: Paixão-Barradas Susana , Hernandis Ortuño Bernabé , Agudo Vicente Begoña , Dickie Isadora , Maciel Pacheco Karla Mazarelo
Published: February 2023

The European natural stone sector is declining; sales and imports are decreasing, owing to growing competition from Asiatic countries concerning the diversity of low-cost materials and European cultural and historical traditions demanding a commitment to invest in the best equipment and technology available. Design plays an important role in a company regarding the development, innovation and creation of competitive products. The present research involved a questionnaire being given to Portuguese and Spanish companies working in the natural stone sector to ascertain the companies' characteristics, identifying those working with internal departments specialising in innovation for developing new products and studying the feasibility of working with a new concept by studying the relationship between these companies and the importance they attach to the sensation of well-being which a natural stone product offers. The results showed that companies recognised most feelings presented here as being 'important', mainly those referring to social factors. It could be concluded that a company working with an internal design department for product development appreciates such concepts and adds more value to them.
A review of conceptual transparency in US and Colombian seismic design building codes
Authors: Carrillo Julian , Blandón Valencia John , Rubiano Astrid
Published: February 2023

The goal of re-examinination of seismic design codes is aimed at making their provisions as transparent as possible for users so that the design would be clear and enriching for structural engineers. This paper presents a transparency evaluation of the codes currently being used in the USA and Colombia for seismic design of buildings. It is demonstrated that the procedures used in most codes do not offer a clear view of buildings' seismic response assessment. The Colombian code should become as conceptually transparent as possible when defining strength modification factors and assessing maximum lateral displacement. In addition, at least two limit states (service and life safety) should be clearly defined, along with allowable story drift thereby better reflect expected structural performance. Otherwise, using current procedures could lead not only to interpretation errors but also inadequate estimation of seismic strength and deformation demands.
Towards a framework for deriving platform-independent model-driven software product lines
Authors: Paz Andrés , Arboleda Hugo
Published: February 2023

Model-driven software product lines (MD-SPLs) are created from domain models which are transformed, merged and composed with reusable core assets, until software products are produced. Model transformation chains (MTCs) must be specified to generate such MD-SPLs. This paper presents a framework for creating platform-independent MD-SPLs; such framework includes a domain specific language (DSL) for platform-independent MTC specification and facilities platform-specific MTC generation of several of the most used model transformation frameworks. The DSL also allows product line architects to compose generation taking the need for model transformation strategy and technology interoperability into account and specifying several types of variability involved in such generation.

It is apt to note that the central impediment to sustainable peace and security is the constant and continued proliferation of small and light weapons (SALW). The escalation of these arms contributed/became a threat to peace and tranquillity in Nigeria and precipitated inter-ethnic conflicts leading to an insurgency on a light scale. The paper aims to examine the continued proliferation of small and light arms and the challenges to national security with particular reference to Nigeria and the sources. The study employed descriptive as its methodology anchored on the frustration framework within the secondary data source. The study unveils that arms proliferation is centred on the porosity of the Nigerian borders. This development contributes in no small measures precipitated security challenges. The paper concludes as part of its recommendations that governments should strengthen the security activities at the Nigerian border and train personnel on border-related issues. The paper concludes as a matter of urgency government should embark on the gainful employment of youths to subdue the activities of insurgents and terrorist attacks in the six (6) geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
Prywatna korespondencja unickich hierarchów metropolii kijowskiej w XVIII wieku jako źródło badań dziejów Cerkwi unickiej w Rzeczypospolitej
Authors: Wereda Dorota
Published: February 2023

Private correspondence of the hierarchs from the metropolis of Kiev in the 18th century as a source for study the history of the Unite Church in the Republic of Poland An important source for researching the history of the Uniate Church in the second half of the 18th century is correspondence exchanged among its hierarchs (Piotr Bielański, Stefan Lewiński, Jason Smogorzewski). Letters were both a form of distance communication and a means of dealing with particular matters. The subject matter most decidedly dealt with was appointment of bishopric hierarchs, both in terms of candidates as well as circumstances. The analysis of these letters shows that the selection of the staffing of bishoprics was perceived as a result of efforts within the circles of the royal court. A lack of qualifications was not an obstacle in assuming the position of a Uniate bishop in the Republic of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The correspondence shows that the party rigorously standing up for adhering to legal norms in filling the posts was the Holy See, decidedly rejecting solutions not justified by the law and having a temporary nature.The contents of the letters illustrates the Uniate Church hierarchs’ confusion, lost between tradition and modernity. An example being the Lewiński’s reference to a custom not used for a long time, practised in the Uniate Church, of summoning Uniate hierarchs to an election meeting in order to elect the Metropolitan Bishop. The contents of the correspondence between Uniate hierarchs expresses numerous doubts related to legal background of activities carried out by the Uniate Church and a lack of clear guidelines. These letters illustrate transformations of bishops’ attitudes in the face of a choice between their own tradition, whose knowledge was sometimes unsatisfactory, and adopting solutions related to changes caused by the spread of new ideas of the Renaissance and adapting to current changes in the social and political life, e.g. changes in the calendar leading to a decreased number of holidays and unification of the Liturgy calendar with the Gregorian calendar. The bishops’ correspondence reflects anxieties of a social nature in Wołyń and Podole during the Great Sejm, in the 19th-century historical writings as ‘the Wołyń fear’. The analysis of the correspondence carried out by the Episcopate of the Kiev Uniate Metropolis shows a huge interest in social and family life by selected representatives of social elites. The ideas which we learn from the correspondence are evidence of the feeling of separateness and own identity of faithful and clergy and hierarchs of the Uniate Church.
Kościół katolicki i religia w prasie Księstwa Warszawskiego 1807–1812 („Gazeta Korespondenta Warszawskiego i Zagranicznego” i „Gazeta Warszawska”)
Authors: Ziółek Ewa M.
Published: February 2023

The article discusses the content of two Polish newspapers from the period the Duchy of Warsaw in terms of the presentation of the Catholic church and Catholicism. The press in the Napoleonic system fulfilled a propaganda function and its chief aim was not to inform, but to form the public opinion in accordance with the government’s expectations. Thus, the information about the Church was carefully controlled. The news which presented the authorities of the Duchy and Napoleon I in a positive light was highlighted, while the news which failed to do so was deemphasized or omitted. In the case of an entirely dependent duchy, but one that gave rise to the Polish state after the partitions, there was an additional factor involved: the effort to organize the Polish society around the idea of independence. For this reason, it was important to show both the patriotic attitude of the clergy as well as the godliness of the governors. This was aimed at convincing the society that the Duchy carried on the heritage of the pre-partition Commonwealth. As sources of historical data, both newspapers provide rich material illustrating numerous forms of patriotic engagement on the part of the Polish clergy in the restitution of the Polish state, as well as in social and political activity. Therefore, they are a valuable complement to the contemporary historical sources concerning the Napoleonic period in the Polish lands.
Obraz chrześcijańskiego świata w traktacie De recuperatione Terrae Sanctae Pierre’a Dubois
Authors: Satora Magdalena
Published: February 2023

Pierre Dubois was French lawyer and publicist of the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. In his writings he raised the most important issues absorbing French court during the reign of Philip the Fair (1285–1314). The best known of his texts is De recuperatione Terrae Sanctae written between the years 1305–1307. The treaty is a project of crusade which would permit the Christians to recover lands lost in the Holy Land. Because Dubois was persuaded that maintaining of peace among Christians was essential to organize crusade, he presented a plan of creation of European organization which would guarantee it. He proposed also many solutions concerning, among others, creation of homogeneous educational system and reforming the way of life of the clergy. His work has attracted the interest of historians who have analysed it most often from the point of view of 14th century crusading projects as well as political and law concepts. The purpose of this article is to examine Dubois’ treaty as reflections of his vision of reality and to answer the question, what was the Christian world in his opinion. This will allow to outline some of the most important elements of the world view of an educated and wealthy member of the 14th century French elites.
Antyczne prywatne uroczystości kommemoratywne a święta ku czci męczenników w okresie wczesnobizantyńskim
Authors: Milewski Ireneusz
Published: February 2023

The aim of the article is to point out the similarities between the ancient cult of the dead and the feasts of the Christian martyrs in Late Antiquity. The Author discusses a few source relations on one element of the ceremony, that is, a commemorative banquet, which was an essential element of the ancient cult of the dead. We read about the same habit in relations referring to the feasts of martyrs. They show that on the eve of their feasts, some Christians gathered at the chapel of the martyr, arranging and joining the banquet in the belief that the martyr also participated in it. Of course, the custom did not stem from the need to satisfy hunger. It was the religious act of pagan provenance derived from the conviction that the deceased in the afterlife was plagued by hunger and thirst.
Nascita e morte delle rappresentanze pontificie e dei loro archivi nell’Europa centro-orientale. Dalla “grande guerra” alla “guerra fredda” (1918–1952)
Authors: Carboni Luca
Published: February 2023

Birth and death of pontifical representatives and their archives in Central Eastern Europe. From the “great war” to the “cold war” At the end of World War I in the Central Eastern Europe new national states replaced the multinational empires. The international policy of the Holy See aimed at the recognition of the new nation-states, which had numerous non-native minorities on its territory. The Holy See, despite the difference in approaching to the Eastern issues between Benedict XV and his successor Pius XI, opened new apostolic nunciatures (and where it was not possible new apostolic delegations) whose main purpose was to sign concordats to define the generality of relations between State and Church, mainly by ensuring the freedom of ecclesiastical appointments (against the ancient rights of patronage) and dissolving the conflict between local hierarchy and the Holy See in favor of the latter, thanks to the new role assigned to the papal nuncios. The article traces the vicissitudes that had to face during the interwar period the pontifical representatives in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, often in situations where national identity was identified with the religious one. With the outbreak of World War II and the advent of the new pope Pius XII, the Holy See had to face the sad period of the war, trying to maintain a benevolent neutrality towards someone and a critical one towards others. At the end of the conflict, with the birth of the “Iron Curtain”, the strong action against the danger of an “impassive omnipotence of a materialistic state, without a celestial ideal, no religion and no God” assumed, in the eyes of the pope, the perspective of an apocalyptic struggle between good and evil, which led in a few years to close all the pontifical representatives.
Filozofia kultury w ujęciu ks. Janusza Stanisława Pasierba
Authors: Koprowski Piotr
Published: February 2023

The article presents an outline of priest Janusz Stanisław Pasierb’s philosophy of culture. The basis of this philosophy is a very specific look at a human being. The thinker noticed that the essence of humanity lies in the spiritual sphere which is anchored in God. This fact determines, in his opinion, the meaning of creation and the status of a creator. Culture takes part in a salutary calling of a human being. It influences significantly on a shape of our mind, it changes and purifies it. Communing with works of culture helps to understand God and prepares for a meeting with Him. Culture is a form of a ration of human being to nature. The shape and specific of nature is a consequence of God’s acting, whereas culture is work of a human being. A human creates culture, but culture shapes a human. For this reason culture cannot be treated in an instrumental way. We cannot walk away from culture or give it up.

Rejestr katolików gdańskich pierwszej połowy XVII wieku. Problem przydatności i wiarygodności ksiąg metrykalnych w badaniach nad stosunkami międzywyznaniowymi w dużym protestanckim ośrodku
Authors: Kościelak Sławomir
Published: February 2023

This article is an announcement of edition of source material, entitled Register of Gdansk’s Catholics in First Half of 17th Century. Register now includes the period from year 1608 to 1640 and ca. 2550 names of people, who received sacraments (baptism, matrimony) or who were buried in the parish of St. Bridget in Gdansk (Old Town). These data were influenced by Jesuits because they initiated the implementation of the register books in this church and led official and unofficial ministry in it until forties of 17th Century. Unfortunately data from other Gdansk’s churches didn’t preserve to our time. We can only additionally use the single data from some suburban parishes. It should be noted, that the collected source material includes 89% (2265) people, who appeared only once in these register books as parents, children, godfathers (mothers), witnesses, brides, grooms, etc. This proves, that they rather temporarily lived in Gdansk and the Catholic minority in this city was rather unstable. The rest of the Catholic population (11%) included people who repeatedly were in the role of parents, godfathers (mothers), witnesses. They were representatives of the wealthier Catholic families in Gdansk and were the germ of new municipal quasi-elite of Catholics inside the large protestant city. In conclusion, Register of Gdansk’s Catholics is a very good auxiliary source material, which can be used to the demography, socio-topography, prosopography and genealogy research. It can be especially used to the research on religious identity of communities, which represented different religious face.
Obraz kapłana w Kazaniach jubileuszowych Josepha Ratzingera – między literackością a historycznością
Authors: Martynowicz Dariusz
Published: February 2023

The aim of the article is to analyze the picture of the priest emerging from the Joseph Ratzinger’s occasional homilies. New methodological approach has been proposed – elements of the linguistic, poetical and rhetorical analysis of the homiletic work were added to the historical analysis. The analysis is deeply rooted in the context of history, which, according to Joseph Ratzinger, not only determines the picture of the priest, but also changes the realities of his ministry, influences its goals and nature. The examined work, Joseph Ratzinger’s Opera omnia, Vol. 12 – Preachers of the Word and the servants of your joy, consists of three main parts. The first shows the theology of the sacrament of Holy Orders, presents the nature of priesthood, the second contains meditations on priestly spirituality. The last is the collection of Joseph Ratzinger’s homilies on priesthood: about Holy Orders, the first mass and anniversaries. Chosen elements of the third part were analyzed in the context of cultural image of the priest. Considerations are complemented by the reflections on the homily as a historical source.

I segretari dei papi
Authors: Jacov Marko
Published: February 2023

In order to understand the activity of Holy See in a proper way, it is necessary to analyse the role of the Secretary of the State of His Holiness; if one wants to come to know mission of some pope better, it is also necessary to get to know the person of his Personal Assistant.Father Sczaniecki claimed that both roles did not exclude each other, but they rather complement one another. He said important words referring to cardinal Dziwisz, the secretary of St. John Paul II, in a particular way: “If you wonder how great some Pope is, look who stands at his side as the secretary. Our Dziwisz is somebody”. The convergence of these two roles was also confirmed by John Paul II. He entrusted his Personal Assistant all high-ranking tasks inside the Secretariat of the State, permitted him to take part in many essential papal decisions, he also gave him the possibility of an active participation in all events connected with his pontificate.

Diplomacy of the Holy See is the diplomacy which kept its continuity for the longest period of time, and at the same it was considered to be the best one in the world. During its secular activity the diplomacy collected a huge quantity of files. They are mainly stored in the Vatican Archive, in the papal Secretariat of the State, and the Archive of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. All papal diplomats were usually very well prepared to perform their functions, and at the same time, they were both educated very well and had wide intellectual horizons.The reports are not only a priceless source, but sometimes the only source, giving information about many events. They also complement the knowledge gained from other sources concerning people, events, and times they come from in a superb way. For these reasons after opening the Vatican Archive in 1881 many scientific institutions troubled themselves to publish the files.

Published: February 2023

While analysing activities of Bishop, Archbishop and Cardinal Karol Wojtyła that were supposed to neutralize communists’ plans concerning liquidation, or at least reducing church scientific community in Cracow, one can clearly see how the actions were taken simultaneously. On one hand, as Auxiliary Bishop, the administrator and Cracow Bishop Karol Wojtyła endeavoured to strengthen Cracow theological community. On the other hand, as the chairman of the Committee of the Learning of the Episcopate of Poland he tried to solve the issue of higher education of clergymen in Poland comprehensively. He tried to convince bishops of the importance of the problem. At the same time he was playing a specific game with the authorities as he wanted departments to gain civilian recognition. He also wanted clergymen seminars to be given the status of colleges.The actions are amazing because of a few reasons; the problems presented were justified and clear, the far-reaching plans were realized with the method of small steps.He tried to do everything he could in every single case. He initiated work, confronted his own ideas and projects with trusted co-workers. He looked for allies, he controlled if undertaken tasks were carried out. He admonished those who either lingered, in his opinion, or worked too slowly.He searched for new ways of realizing plans when he came across unforeseeable obstacle or resistance which was difficult to overcome at that time. He never surrendered to pressure of impossibility and discouragement.In 1962–1978, as the Great Chancellor of Divinity which worked outside the structure of higher education system acknowledged by the country, Karol Wojtyła led to set in order legal bases of functioning of the faculty by Holy See; all academic authorizations were obtained (the ones which were used). He inspired and accepted the reform of studies in a conciliar spirit. He led to enlargement of a number of lecturers. He kept reminding about the duty of the publication and scientific exchange both with domestic and foreign scientific centres. All the actions opened a way to create a college consisting of a few departments. The college which originated from one department. Before he was chosen the Pope the college was given a permission to open Department of Philosophy. At the same time work to create an independent institute of history of the Church started.

Spór o postawę religijną międzywojennej inteligencji na polskim Górnym Śląsku. Casus Tadeusza Starka
Authors: Krzyżanowski Lech
Published: February 2023

During the interwar period the Catholic Church on Polish Upper Silesia tried to encourage the intelligence which came there to be politically active in the religious area. The Church was aware that natives of Upper Silesia would modify their own posture by imitating customs, manner, and even putting on clothes which were worn by the intellectual elite. The aim was to use external signs to manifest attachment to religious values. In the meantime, those who were required to be committed to religious values, defended themselves from this kind of commitment and stood for more liberal rules very often. One of few who was ready to take the burden and realize the conception of the Church was the president of Katowice appeal court – Tadeusz Stark. He worked closely with the authorities of the Silesian diocese; he was a marshal of the III Silesian Catholic congress. He also directed Catholic League, and was active on the parish level. His example was often mentioned in public disputes with these who presented the intelligence on Upper Silesia as the camp which wanted to fight with the Church in the area of Upper Silesia.
Giustizia educativa e misericordia. La democrazia del merito
Authors: Tognon Giuseppe
Published: February 2023

For the first time, many decades after World War II or at least after the fall of the Berlin wall, the matter of democracy received traits of an anthropological and bringing up matter. It is conductive to carry out a full-scale and sincere analysis concerning its aims. The upbringing of the human kind which was a great theme of the seventeenth-century education, becomes a challenge which concerns the foundation of the humanity and asks consciences. The use of education as the factor of the social discrimination made a stand to all revolutions of modern times, and even became a decisive element in the process of secularizing of a society. Beginning from the XVII century rulers and countries, took the place of the Church. In reality, the Churched had the monopoly over education till that time, and in a special way of the high intellectual formation.It is not accidental that the Catholic Church is calling for new humanism today. The humanism which would be able to free man from increase of false humanistic ideology. The Catholic Church is able to face, using also scientific knowledge, the problem of human existence and defence creation. Today Christians should testify, individually and together, that the Church has reached new consciousness when it comes to the value of democracy in the areas which concern creating of people and their critical spirit, and also their abilities to cling to Gospel always in a new way, and with relation to cultures and values which are often opposed to each other. “Meritocracy” as a social temptation is radically different from the democracy of the merit which aims is to build the idea of life. The idea is worth living for because it is democratic.

El presente artículo propone el modelo de vinculación Universidad-Empresa-Estado, conocido al interior del ITESO bajo el nombre de PAP Internacional y cuyo objetivo es apoyar la internacionalización de las Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas mexicanas. En el caso de México, estas empresas representan el 99.8% del sector empresarial del país. La internacionalización de esta clase de empresas es un asunto prioritario para el desarrollo del país y de su competitividad. El Proyecto de Aplicación Profesional Internacional, tiene su sustento teórico en el modelo conocido como la Triple Hélice, el cual busca la generación de conocimiento e innovación a partir de la interacción de tres actores principales: universidad, empresa y estado. Se consideran así mismo otras aportaciones teóricas que igualmente fundamentan la importancia de esta interacción para el impulso de la internacionalización de las empresas. Este modelo tiene como objetivo la internacionalización de la Pequeña y Mediana Empresa mexicana a través del conocimiento gestado en las universidades. Con la desaparición de PROMEXICO y otros organismos estatales como JALTRADE en Jalisco, los recursos del Estado no son suficientes para tan ardua tarea. Entre los resultados obtenidos por este modelo, se encuentran: catorce años de operación en el ITESO, apoyo a 225 empresas y la participación de 900 alumnos de distintos programas educativos. Acompañando este modelo, se presenta el caso de la empresa INATEQ. Esta empresa actualmente exporta a Europa y es cien por ciento exportadora.
Qhapaq Ñan. El camino inca en el tramo nororiental del departamento de Nariño, Colombia
Authors: Pereira-Solarte Silvio
Published: February 2023

El Camino del Inca (Inca Ñan), comprende aproximadamente 5.200 km de longitud” (González, 2020,p. 10) a lo largo de la Cordillera de los Andes, uniendo a seis países andinos, entre los que se encuentran: Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador y Perú. En Colombia, El Camino del Inca se localiza entre Ipiales (Rumichaca) y Pasto, correspondiendo al primer tramo de la ruta vial Andina. “Declarado patrimonio mundial por la UNESCO” (Colombia .Ministerio de Cultura, 2013, p.1).El Qhapaq Ñan, en el tramo nororiental del departamento de Nariño, Colombia corresponde a una investigación preliminar sobre el segundo tramo de la ruta vial andina en Nariño, Colombia, el cual se localiza entre la ciudad de Pasto, hasta el rio Juanambu (Guambuyaco,municipio de Taminango). Atraviesa los municipios de Pasto, Nariño, La Florida, El Tambo, El Peñol, Taminango. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en demostrar preliminarmente la existencia de la continuidad de la red longitudinal andina de El Qhapaq Ñan, en 15 km más hacia el nororiente del Departamento de Nariño, sur de Colombia. Durante el proyecto de investigación se descubrió accidentalmente la ruta transversal al Amazonas y la ruta transversal a la costa la cual conducía hacia la provincia minera de las Barbacoas y está a su vez al mar del Pacifico, por medio del río Patía. Este trabajo se basa en la bibliografía de los cronistas primitivos de la Indias del siglo XVI, como además otras herramientas de investigación entre las que se encuentran: el estudio a campo abierto y de laboratorio etnolingüístico por medio de registros de archivos parroquiales, estudios cartográficos, entrevistas a habitantes preferiblemente longevos de la zona en estudio. Esta investigación fue realizada por mi persona y mi padre Onésimo Pereira Vallejo (Q.E.P.D). Por ser un trabajo inédito no existen al momento estudios arqueológicos de la zona. Es por ello que en esta investigación preliminar se omitieron dichos trabajos, siendo necesario, a futuro, realizar estudios de exploración y excavación arqueológica. Las fuentes aportadas en esta investigación constituyen una prueba inicial sobre la continuación del trayecto andino longitudinal y el transversal de El QhapaqÑan en el nororiente del departamento de Nariño, Colombia.
Configuraciones subjetivas e ideales
Authors: Sánchez-Antillón Antonio
Published: February 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las narrativas de miembros de colectivos para comprender cómo las prácticas del saber dependen de ideales que reconfiguran sus formas del ser. Se problematiza: configuración subjetiva e ideales. El método de análisis es la teoría del relato. Los resultados destacan tres momentos narrativos: el antes biográfico de vivencias de abandono y abuso; el después, que implica el ingreso a la universidad y con ello la adquisición de nuevos ideales y prácticas actuales reivindicativas. Se muestra en las secuencias: aprendizajes de resistencia, revelación y transformación de sí mismo. Se discute cómo los ideales y la configuración subjetiva del antes está implicado en la praxis actual en procesos de reparacióndel sí mismo perdido en la imagen masculina.

Published: February 2023

En la actualidad la tendencia de la formación del psicólogo se orienta bajo el enfoque de competencias, por lo tanto, los profesores de estos programas académicos deben acreditar competencias docentes que permitan una formación pertinente y de calidad. El objetivo fue analizar la teoría existente sobre competencias, docencia y competencias docentes transversales y específicas del profesor de programas de psicología. El método se llevó a cabo mediante el proceso de investigación bibliográfica con enfoque hermenéutico, se revisaron 65 documentos sobre el tema, correspondientes a artículos, libros y capítulos de libro resultado de investigación de los 14 últimos años; fundamentalmente la consulta se realizó en las bases de datos como Scielo, ProQuest Social Science Journals, Publindex y ISOC-psicología. Como resultados y conclusiones, la revisión bibliográfica con enfoque hermenéutico, muestra la importancia y la necesidad que en la última década tiene la implementación de la formación de profesionales bajo el enfoque de competencias, hecho que demanda nuevas funciones de los profesores universitarios que requiere acreditar en su perfil profesional competencias docentes, que les permitan orientar adecuadamente la formación del estudiante. Sin embargo, es evidente que la literatura es muy escasa cuando se indaga en el tema particular de competencias docentes transversales y específicas del profesor de programas de psicología; evidenciando la necesidad de investigación para aportar teóricamente sobre este tema.
Interacciones que caracterizan la práctica de docentes en diferentes modelos flexibles de educación
Authors: Quijano Hernández María Helena
Published: February 2023

La investigación, descriptiva – exploratoria, se realiza con el objetivo de analizar las interacciones de una muestra de docentes de educación básica, beneficiarios del programa de becas para la excelencia MEN – Universidad Industrial de Santander, Colombia. Los profesionales laboran en instituciones educativas oficiales del área rural y urbana, con modelos flexibles de educación, tradicional, escuela nueva y multigrado. Se realizan observaciones de aula en jornadas de clase; los registros se efectúan según los dominios: apoyo emocional, organización del aula y apoyo pedagógico y las diez dimensiones que caracterizan el instrumento Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), creado por Pianta y colaboradores. El análisis de datos se ajusta a la valoración cuantitativa, que determina el instrumento en niveles de interacción, alto, medio y bajo. Los resultados, señalan un nivel medio de interacción de los docentes observados en los tres dominios, lo cual significa que, dada la valoración en un rango de tres a cinco, los resultados en promedio marcan diferencias cuantitativas, más no de nivel.  Según la escala de medición, los mayores datos cuantitativos se sitúan en los dominios, apoyo emocional y organización del aula, evidenciados en los docentes del modelo flexible de educación tradicional y del área urbana. La investigación devela una necesidad de fortalecer el dominio del apoyo pedagógico, desde una perspectiva teórico-práctica, que le apueste a la enseñanza reflexiva.
Entornos digitales. Descripción de hábitos y tendencias de uso de las herramientas tecnológicas
Authors: Medina Orozco Luis Antonio
Published: February 2023

El presente trabajo de reflexión se enfoca en el estudio de los escenarios que abarcan las tecnologías informáticas y de comunicación, con el objetivo de describir los entornos digitales, los hábitos y tendencias predominantes en su uso, destacando los factores que pueden afectar la dinámica de las actividades más comunes que desarrollan los usuarios en estos ambientes virtuales. La investigación se desarrolló en el marco de una metodología cualitativa, con carácter descriptivo, mediante el método del fichaje, lo que permitió la organización y el análisis de documentos (artículos, libros, publicaciones y tesis doctorales) dedicados a investigar los entornos digitales, los dispositivos empleados, así como los hábitos y tendencias de uso dentro de estos ambientes, tanto en el desarrollo de actividades virtuales, como en los espacios físicos predilectos por los cibernautas para conectarse. Los documentos fueron consultados en bases de datos como Google Académico, Scielo, Redalyc, Dialnet, UMECIT, eLibro, UNESCO y OCDE, en un rango de tiempo desde 2006 hasta 2022. Los principales hallazgos muestran una tendencia creciente en el uso de dispositivos digitales como teléfonos móviles, computadores, tabletas y equipos de audio en lugares como el hogar, trabajo, escuela y espacios familiares, implicando una mayor exposición a la pantalla, especialmente en los niños y jóvenes, que ansiosos por educarse, llamar la atención o entretenerse, realizan actividades de ocio, chats, tareas escolares y modificaciones del lenguaje, pero también practican acciones riesgosas como acoso y exposición a contenidos sensibles.
