Published: September 2024

In a time marked by technological advances and increasing consumer knowledge, the skin care industry is also experiencing significant changes. This research focuses specifically on customers of The Originote products in Batam City who have interacted with the brand through the TikTok Shop. This study focuses on a specific age group, namely 16-30 years and examines four important factors: product quality, trust, e-WOM (Electronic Word of Mouth), and purchasing decisions. Analysis was carried out on 100 participants who met certain research criteria, using a quantitative research approach. Questionnaires were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using SPSS version 25. The research began by conducting validity and reliability tests to verify the quality of the data. Next, a classical assumption test was carried out which included normality, multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity tests to improve the quality of the data before hypothesis testing. Hypothesis analysis uses multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination test, as well as the t test and F test. The conclusion of this research is that the purchasing decision variable (X1) has a positive influence on the decision to purchase The Originote products at the TikTok Shop. Trust as a variable has a positive influence on purchasing decisions for The Originote products at the TikTok Shop (X2). The electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) factor has a beneficial impact on purchasing choices made for The Originote products on the TikTok Shop. The variables product quality (X1), trust (X2), and e-WOM (X3) have quite a large influence on purchasing decisions when considered together.

This research uses explanatory with survey method. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis. This study examines the role of perceived enjoyment as a mediating influence of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on online shopping intention (Survey of prospective buyers through E-commerce Shopee in DIY). The population in this study are all prospective buyers who have the intention of buying products online through Shopee e-commerce in the Yogyakarta area. The sample in this study used non-probability purposive sampling. The number of samples used in this study were 140 respondents. This study shows the results that directly perceived usefulness has no effect on online shopping intention; perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment have a significant and positive effect on online shopping intention; perceived usefulness and ease of use have a significant and positive effect on perceived enjoyment. Indirectly perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a significant and positive effect on online shopping intention. The limitations of this study are that the object of research focuses on respondents in the Yogyakarta area and it is possible that the results will be different in other research areas. In addition, the limitations of this study only focus on online purchase intention and do not compare with offline purchase intention.

Published: September 2024

The development of information technology has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including in the world of education and business. In the context of higher education, the use of accounting software such as Accurate has become an integral part of the modern accounting curriculum. This is in line with the demands of the world of work which increasingly relies on technology in daily accounting practices. According to a survey conducted by the Indonesian Accountants Association (IAI) in 2020, more than 80% of companies in Indonesia have adopted accounting software in their operations, with Accurate being one of the main choices of the Bali State Polytechnic, as one of the leading vocational education institutions in Indonesia, has integrated the use of Accurate in the Business Administration Department curriculum. This step was taken in response to industry needs and an effort to increase graduate competency in facing the digital era. However, although the use of Accurate has been implemented, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of its effectiveness in improving students' accounting understanding and skills.This research aims to measure the extent to which the use of Accurate contributes to increasing conceptual understanding, practical skills, and work readiness of students majoring in Business Administration. By involving 162 respondents and using quantitative methods, the collected questionnaire data was then processed using SPSS version 26 software. The results of this research indicate that theoretically, this research strengthens the argument about the importance of technology integration in accounting education while emphasizing the role of contextual factors such as teaching methods and infrastructure. This supports a holistic approach in accounting curriculum development that focuses not only on content but also on delivery methods and learning environments.

Post- positivism Research Paradigm and Philosophical Assumption of Sport Tourism
Authors: Tripathi Krishna Prasad , Giri Surendra , Tripathi Narayan
Published: September 2024

A paradigm represents an all-encompassing set of beliefs, perspectives, or structures that direct research and practical applications within a particular field. Different paradigms have different ontological, epistemological, axiological, and methodological descriptions. Every paradigm has differing assumptions of reality and knowledge in which the researcher underpins his or her research approach; this is reflected in their methodology and methods. Post-positivism believes in multiple realities and perceptions by multiple persons in multi social structures in multi-level. Ontology is the researcher's perception, belief, experience, and value of the topic. The ontology of sports tourism asserts a single, real impact of sports events on tourism, though this impact is understood as probabilistic and imperfectly known. Epistemology establishes a philosophical foundation for determining feasible knowledge types and serves as the method by which the researchers perceive sufficient and valid knowledge. It is deep rooted and socially constructed multiple reality in nature. The epistemological knowledge in sports tourism is seen as approximative and tentative, derived through objective, though inherently partial, data collection and analysis. Researchers strive for objectivity while acknowledging and transparently reporting the influence of their values and biases in sports tourism from axiological perspectives. Observation and focused group discussion can be used for qualitative information. Methodology in sports tourism employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to approximate reality.

“It’s happening!” – memes as vehicle for online extremism based on an example of narratives from 4chan’s /pol/ (politically incorrect) board in the wake of Christchurch terrorist attack
Authors: Wojciechowski Patryk
Published: September 2024

Online spaces, discussion boards, social media or open forums provide currently active generations of netizens with places to openly discuss ways in which they perceive the world, from their views on entertainment to political sympathies. Memes play an important role in that process as symbolic representations of emotions, humour and supported or opposed values. However, they may also present often inappropriate content in accessible way, hidden under the guise of irony or innocent fun. This article presents a discourse analysis conducted on a sample of 40 discussion threads posted on 4chan’s /pol/ board after the Christchurch terrorist attack. It aims to look into how through the use of memes and ironic posting such acts might be used to desensitize users to violence and extremist ideologies, while briefly covering core characteristics of memes and describing the notion of chan culture. It also touches on the matter whether such discourses, grounded in board users’ linguistic practices and the socio-cultural environment of /pol/, could be (re)producing (symbolic) violence.
Fanfiction, coping mechanisms, and shifting the realities
Authors: Rokicka Kaja
Published: September 2024

The development and popularization of social media have increased social anomie, as exemplified by dissemination of fake news, stereotypes, hate, ostracism, social isolation, and ubiquitous fear of missing out. As a result, members of society are more exposed to witnessing and reading of tragedies than previously. The youth of today try to find some methods to “drown out” the reality, even if the methods they use were to be effective only temporarily. That is how, in some cases, people become addicted to and dependent on any form of mass media: social media and fiction (such as video games, books, TV shows, movies or cartoons, etc.). The present article attempts to answer the question of why the young people seek closure aided by fiction, and to provide examples to illustrate it.
Go woke, go broke? On black elves, anthropological perspective, and critical approach to “culture wars”
Authors: Raczkowski Tomasz
Published: September 2024

The text reflects on the issues of wokeness and culture wars in regard to mainstream cinema and its reception. Building on the author’s own ethnographical fieldwork within film industry, it addresses the question of desired anthropological approach to the discourse about representation in popular culture. The case of backlash against certain elements of popular fantasy live action series The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power and The Witcher is used by the author to argue for intersectional analysis rooted in economic perspective that exceeds identity-oriented, binary discursive setup, in search of more nuanced social knowledge, which is something that should constitute anthropological presence in public debate.
Buen Vivir: New Wine in Old Wineskins?
Authors: Beling Adrian , Vanhulst Julien
Published: September 2024

What is Buen vivir, why is it interesting, and what makes it relevant beyond its birth-land in the Andean-Amazonian region of the Americas? Is it aything new at all, or is it just a rehashed and overrated discourse? What prospects are there for Buen vivir as the organizing principle of a cultural model for global sustainability? In the limited space of the article that follows, we intend to explore these and similar questions around an idea that has unexpectedly popped-up in global academic and political debates in recent years.
Minorities or Nations? Discourses and Policies of Recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights
Authors: Merino Roger
Published: September 2024

The definition of Indigenous peoples as either “minorities” or as “nations” has a profound impact on public policies. Indigenous people are seen as ethnic minorities and, despite enjoying special juridical protection, they cannot expect to be treated in a different way, for example as the Right to Previous Consultation suggests. In summary, the perspectives presented here put forward the idea that if special rights are granted to Indigenous peoples it is to integrate them into Peruvian society - not to grant them different treatment, which would affect the formal equality that the law grants to every citizen. These discourses stem from understanding Indigenous rights as ethnic minority rights, to ensure their inclusion within the political and economic framework of the state, 'tolerating' their cultural diversity. The problem with the above comments is the understanding of Indigenous peoples as minorities and not as peoples.
"Churcar" Alternatives to Development
Authors: Gudynas Eduardo , Carballo Ana Estefanía , Vanhulst Julien
Published: September 2024

As ideas about development are so deeply rooted, attempts to seek alternatives are almost like swimming against the prevailing cultural current. To effectively pursue these alternatives, radical changes are necessary from the source. Instead of quoting Marx or Lenin, I consider more appropriate to draw inspiration from an old word of the Tacanas in Bolivia: “Churcar”.
Notes on René Zavaleta: 'Abigarramiento' as Condition of Constitutive Power
Authors: Freeland Anne
Published: September 2024

One of the major tasks of the Latin American left, since the early twentieth century but especially over the past couple of decades, has been the negotiation or articulation of a political and intellectual tradition with Marxist roots and one of indigenous resistance. This post looks at the history and afterlife of a key term that has served to bridge this gap in the Bolivian context, René Zavaleta Mercado’s concept of abigarramiento or sociedad abigarrada, “motley society.” My interest in the concept is primarily as an antidote to the much-discussed slippage into a multiculturalism that is typically identified as (neo)liberal and that co-opts and neutralizes plurinational projects founded on a promise of indigenous autonomy but that can also serve a plurinationalism (and to my knowledge this connection has not received the same level of critical analysis) that operates as a discursive strategy of populist legitimation of the state.
Human Rights Indicators as “Development 2.0”?
Authors: Waldmüller Johannes M.
Published: September 2024

Are there currently more alternative projects of and to development ongoing in the Latin American region? Others than, for example, Buen Vivir (Ecuador)/Vivir Bien (Bolivia), self-governance, participatory budgeting and a general political rupture through the appearance of, what de la Cadena has called, “Earth-beings” (2010)? In this article, I trace another legal-technical, yet humanist, approach to improve people lives in the region; one that has been termed as 'Development 2.0'. This label points at the fusion of two overlapping, yet partly contradicting businesses and movements: social and econ sciences-related development, on the one hand, and legal and technical human rights, on the other (de Béco, 2014). While for a long time both were promoted somehow separately – by different actors and through different institutions (what de Béco has characterized as rather strictly ‘norm-related’ in the case of human rights and more flexible ‘change-related’ in the case of development) – recent advances and ongoing debates regards post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDG) have spurred initiatives toward mutually more integral approaches (e.g. Raza and Baxewanos, 2013).
Environmental Rationality: The Social Re- Appropriation of Nature
Authors: Leff Enrique , Beling Adrián , Estevez Marina
Published: September 2024

The environmental crisis emerges like a civilizational crisis: a crisis of Western culture; of modern rationality; of the globalized world-economy. It is neither an ecological catastrophe, nor a simple imbalance in the economy. It is the dislocation of the world which results from the reification of being and the overexploitation of nature; it is the loss of existential meaning that comes from rationalistic thought in its negation of otherness.
‘Underdeveloped Economists’: The Study of Economic Development in Latin America in the 1950s
Authors: Krepp Stella
Published: September 2024

The 1950s were a decade full of aspirations and struggles all over the globe and in a specific way for Latin America. Excluded from the vision of the West and Western infrastructure, such as NATO, while also not part of the socialist bloc, the so-called second world, Latin America was trying to come to grips with its place in the world. This paper will trace the shift in political economic thought in the 1950s, explaining how cepalismo played a central role in defining underdevelopment, at a time when the idea of a Third World was still in its infancy.
Strategic Ethnicity, Nation, and (Neo)colonialism in Latin America
Authors: Rivera Cusicanqui Silvia , Freeland Anne
Published: September 2024

The changes that have taken place in Bolivia since the year 2000, marked by massive and radical indigenous and popular mobilization, brought an indigenous cocalero president to power in the 2005 elections and unleashed a wave of hope and expectations within the antisystemic movements of the world. However, the articulation of ethnic demands and nationalist discourses, as well as the adoption of developmentalist models and the reinforcing of statist centralism, have put the depth of these changes into question. The paradigmatic case of new forms of “accumulation by dispossession” (Harvey) is the highway project between San Ignacio (Beni) and Villa Tunari (Cochabamba), which threatened environmental degradation and ethnocide of the Moxeño, Yuracaré, and Tsimane communities in the Indigenous Territory of the Isiboro-Sécure Park (TIPNIS). The intent of this article is to analyze the struggle in defense of the TIPNIS as a concrete instance of what Argentine sociologist Maristella Svampa calls “the eco-territorial turn in social struggles” (2011: 5). The aim is to understand the political dynamic of ethnicity as a “strategic” project (Baud et al. 1996) and as a field of struggle between the state and indigenous peoples, in this case in the Bolivian lowlands.
Climate change and colonialism in the Green Economy
Authors: Kratzer Sebastian
Published: September 2024

Magdalena Heuwieser’s Green Colonialism in Honduras: Land Grabbing in the name of climate protection and the defence of the commons looks closely into one of the countries most affected by climate change. Through the lens of a decolonial theory developed in Latin America, this German-language book provides a profound and often shocking analysis of how supposedly ‘green’ projects are hijacked by more powerful political and economic interests. But it goes beyond an account of a few failed or mismanaged climate change initiatives to show how the ‘Green Economy’ fails to solve the multiple environmental, financial and food crises Honduras, and the world, face today. It is this political ecology analysis of climate change action and development that may be the most valuable contribution of this book. Heuwieser (re)defines them as part of a struggle over territory, resources and power and provides an alternative mini manifesto for the defence of the commons. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in the region, let alone those planning climate change or development projects there.
Post-Growth and Post-Extractivism: Two Sides of the Same Cultural Transformation
Authors: Costa Alberto , Breblac Dana , Lupberger Sarah
Published: September 2024

Mainstream thinking – embedded within capitalist globalisation – leads us to accept the impossibility to imagine an economy that does not promote growth, as much as a world without oil, mining and agribusiness is impossible. Within this mainstream thinking, we can find people from every political stance, from neoliberals to socialists. Reality, however, is that we must overcome such views, that is the great task of this moment. On the one hand, we must rethink the question of economic growth, and free ourselves from its shackles before we enter into a global socio-environmental debacle with unforeseeable consequences. On the other, it is increasingly urgent to move from an extractivist perspective focused on the demands of capital, towards a view that prioritises a dignified life to its fullest extent and enables the construction of structurally democratic societies.
The End of the Progressive Narrative in Latin America
Authors: Schavelzon Salvador , Muñoz Gerardo
Published: September 2024

Are we witnessing the end of the progressive governments’ cycle in Latin America? This question seems to come up after every electoral defeat or disappear whenever there is a victory. After more than a decade of continuous political successes in Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, as well as other Central Americas countries, 2015 was the year that signaled adverse results and a drop in electoral support began. Without diminishing the importance of elections, whence the progressive governments derived their legitimacy, it is the time to evaluate the vitality of the political projects away from the narratives that constituted them in their peak moment. Beyond the polls, there looms an undetermined time of change. Due exhaustion of the model and to the internal transformation of the progressive, plurinational or Bolivarian political narrative (electoral defeats), we find a political language that was able to inscribe a new political time in Latin America, which comes to an halt with leaders involved in charges of corruption and as well as accompanied by the lowest indexes of popular support.
The Democratic Horizon of Emancipation: Interview with Maristella Svampa on the Crisis of the Progressive Cycle in Latin America
Authors: Muñoz Gerardo
Published: September 2024

Maristella Svampa is a sociologist and researcher at CONICET (National Technical and Scientific Research Council) at the University of La Plata. She is the author of a dozen books that have had a significant impact on the academic and public discussion of regional politics, social movements, and the function of the state in Latin America. Among her most recent books are Fifteen Myths and Realities of Transnational Mining in Argentina (Colectivo Ediciones Herramientas, 2011), Maldevelopment: Extractivism and Plunder in Argentina (co-written with Enrique Viale, Katz, 2014), and Latin American Debates: Indianism, Development, Dependency, and Populism (Edhasa, 2016). Over the course of the decade, Svampa’s critical work has constituted a sustained effort to understand the progressive actors of the region, as well as an inquiry into the geopolitical configuration at the intersection of state form and transnational capital.

Small-scale Gold Mining, Mercury Exposure and the Struggle for the Right to Water in the Peruvian Amazon
Authors: Delmotte Céline
Published: September 2024

Mining, right, to water, struggle, Amazon, Peru Since the 2008 financial crisis, increase in global demand and the price of gold have led to an expansion of industrial and artisanal gold mining (Swenson et al., 2011; World Gold Council, 2010). Worldwide, Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) is carried out by an estimated number of 15 million miners in more than 70 countries (UNEP, 2015; Diringer et al., 2014) and accounts for 15 percent of the world gold production (Telmer, 2011). In Peru – which is currently the sixth largest gold producer in the world and the first in Latin America (Mujica, 2014) –, 70 percent of national artisanal gold production is mined in the department of Madre de Dios, located in the southwestern Amazon basin (Brooks et al., 2007). Since the 2000s commodities boom, Madre de Dios, considered one of the most biological places on the planet, has indeed experienced a rapid development of ASGM operations which have transformed large expanses of rainforests into denuded and mercury-poisoned wastelands (Asner et al., 2013; Elmes et al., 2014; Román et al., 2015). It is estimated that as many as 30.000 miners are working in this region (Fraser, 2009) and are using mercury to recover gold from the river sediments or solids extracted. Numerous studies show that mercury levels found in fishes and inhabitants of Madre de Dios are above the maximum levels recommended by the WHO (Damonte et al., 2015; Diringer et al., 2014; Ashe, 2012), therefore due to ASGM, artisanal miners as well as local population are exposed to dangerous levels of mercury contamination.
The imperial rationality within BioTrade: A contribution to the neoextractivist debate
Authors: Köppel Jonas
Published: September 2024

This article addresses a recent debate on neoextractivism in Latin America by presenting ethnographic research on BioTrade in Peru. While biodiversity conservation is usually not associated with extractivist projects, such as open-pit mining or industrial monocultures, the case study on Sacha Inchi presented here reveals the same basic patterns of resource extraction: a logic that places the requirements of global markets over local realities; that chooses the needs of exporting firms over the concerns of the rural populations; and that favors the perspective of the capital over that of its hinterland. The findings lead the author to interpret BioTrade, in this case, as a form of neoextractivism. It claims to pursue goals of social equity and environmental sustainability, while in practice adopting the same imperial rationality as the century-old extractivist project, characteristic for Latin America. Thus, this article contributes to the debate by reminding of the social, or “cultural”, preconditions for (neo)extractivism, namely the “coloniality of power” (Quijano, 1992), and thus the construction, subordination, and exploitation of the Other. In a post-structural reading it suggests that, in the contemporary arena of sustainable development, the neoliberal rationality constitutes a mechanism that reproduces colonial lines of social differentiation by creating difference along the lines of the ability to live up to its emblematic figure of the entrepreneur.
The Trinity of Buen Vivir in Ecuador | La trinidad del buen vivir en Ecuador
Authors: Hidalgo-Capitan Antonio Luis , Cubillo-Guevara Ana Patricia
Published: September 2024

Buen Vivir, as an alternative concept to development (Acosta 2012, Cubillo-Guevara & Hidalgo-Capitán 2015a), emerged in Ecuador at the beginning of the 1990s, with the contribution of some Amazonian Kichwa intellectuals, under the name of sumak kawsay (Viteri et al. 1992, Viteri 1993, Viteri 2000, Cubillo-Guevara & Hidalgo-Capitán 2015b); however, it did not gain relevance until the 2008 Ecuadorian Constitutions included it as a principle (Vanhulst and Beling 2016). This concept has been defined as a way of life in harmony with oneself (identity), with society (equity) and with nature (sustainability) (Cubillo-Guevara, Hidalgo-Capitán & García-Álvarez 2016). This definition was commonly accepted by the majority of intellectuals and politicians who used the term since the drafting of the 2008 Constitution; but here the consensus ended, since this way of living in harmony took on very different meanings according to the ideological position of each intellectual and politician who used the concept. Thus, there have been at least three ways of understanding Buen Vivir in Ecuador: one indigenist, another socialist and another ecologist / post-developmentalist (Le-Quang & Vercoutère 2013, Cubillo-Guevara, Hidalgo-Capitán & Domínguez-Gómez 2014, Vanhulst 2015).
Ensuring That no Child is Left Behind
Authors: Harper Erica , Colliou Yann
Published: September 2024

This paper evaluates how customary justice systems align with juvenile justice standards as set out in the Beijing Rules. It considers a dataset of 3,894 interviews conducted by the Terre des hommes foundation with 259 customary actors in Afghanistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Burkina Faso, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It is argued that reforming customary systems to better resemble access to justice mechanisms — at least from a child welfare perspective — may be wrongheaded. Instead, customary justice systems might be conceptualised as a potential juvenile justice tool. From an efficiency and scalability perspective, such an approach has intuitive appeal. As well as handling a majority of dispute resolution, these systems naturally divert children away from formal legal processes, shield them from detention, facilitate rehabilitation and promote reintegration. The question should hence be how current policies and programming might be reconceptualized to capitalize on customary justice systems as a response to the deficits in juvenile justice in the developing world.
Veridiana Victória Rossetti um tom a mais: a sabedoria de uma mulher que transbordou seu universo do conhecimento com as doenças dos citros
Authors: Vitiello Nayte , Rebouçcas Márcia Maria
Published: September 2024

Victoria Rossetti estava predestinada a ser engenheira agrônoma. Seu pai, italiano e ligado à atividade rural em seu país de origem, conheceu Edmundo Navarro de Andrade em um curso de especialização em Minerbio, perto de Turim. Tornaram-se amigos e o engenheiro agrônomo Navarro de Andrade convenceu o jovem Tomazzo Rossetti a migrar para o Brasil, onde faltavam profissionais da área. Aqui chegando, foi trabalhar na fazenda de café Santa Veridiana, em Santa Cruz das Palmeiras, propriedade de Veridiana Prado, de tradicional família de produtores rurais paulistas e exportadores de café. Lá nasceram Victória e os 3 irmãos mais velhos, Sergio, Paulo e Sophia. Os dois primeiros seguiram a vocação paterna e se formaram na Escola Superior de Agricultura “Luiz de Queiroz”, a ESALQ, da USP, localizada em Piracicaba. A irmã se casou com outro engenheiro agrônomo esalqueano, Antonio José Rodrigues Filho, de modo que Victoria, nascida em 15 de outubro de 1917, e cujo primeiro nome era Veridiana (em homenagem a fazendeira) não teria outra alternativa que não fosse estudar na ESALQ. E foi a primeira mulher a se formar na consagrada Faculdade. Mas bem antes disso, a família sofreu uma tragédia: a mãe, Adelina Pozzo Rossetti, que era irmã de Victorio Pozzo, que foi o técnico da seleção italiana de futebol bicampeã mundial em 1934 e 38, contraiu tuberculose, e Tomazzo decidiu voltar à Itália para buscar a cura da esposa. Os filhos então estudaram lá, e Victória cursou o Colégio San Vincenzo di Paula, em Alássio, na Riviera de Gênova. Adelina não resistiu à enfermidade e faleceu na Itália. De volta ao Brasil, Tomazzo comprou uma pequena fazenda – a Paramirim no município de Limeira.
Perspective (predictive) analysis in the operational management of the hop-growing business: world and Russian experience

In operational management, one of the important tools is to determine the critical (threshold) value of an indicator, which most often is either the price or the volume of products produced/sold. The work calculates the threshold value of the selling price of hops for different break-even levels: the first determines the possibility of compensation for variable costs, the second – total cash costs, the third – total cash costs and depreciation, the fourth – all expenses incurred by the farm. To calculate break-even levels, the work examined various approaches to determining fixed and variable costs. Based on the division of costs into two main groups, scientists from different countries are developing mathematical models for calculating the cost and efficiency of growing hops. The work analyzes four of them, namely: models of the Slovenian Institute for Hops and Brewing Research, Pennsylvania State University (USA), Washington State University (USA) and the Universities of Michigan and Vermont (USA). The models implement an idea of the operational management of hop growers in the USA and the European Union, which makes it possible to set threshold values for world hop sales prices. The most expensive break-even price is for small US farms (with hop planting areas of 2-8 hectares), the cheapest is provided that medium-sized farms (90 hectares) rent specialized equipment. Threshold values for farms in Russia and the European Union correlate with each other. The cultivation conditions here are also similar: for example, it is planned to grow hop fields for up to 15 years. In the USA, crop rotation occurs every 5 years.

Penggunaan smartphone yang belum optimal pemanfaatannya untuk pembelajaran di kalangan pelajar menimbulkan beberapa dampak negative seperti mengurangi interaksi sosial dan konsentrasi belajar. Persepsi siswa dalam penggunaan teknologi sebagai sumber belajar berperan penting dalam mengoptimalkan penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran. Persepsi akan penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran dapat ditingkatkan dengan memberikan kegiatan pengenalan dan pelatihan secara berkelanjutan. Sehingga, kegiatan pengabdian kali ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan dan mengukur persepsi siswa mengenai penggunaan aplikasi identifikasi tumbuhan (PlantNet dan Google Lens) dalam pembelajaran biologi. Pelatihan ini penting dilakukan sebagai langkah awal optimalisasi penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran biologi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SMAN 103 Jakarta, melihatkan 24 siswa. Metode pelatihan tutorial digunakan dalam kegiatan ini, diikuti dengan pemberian pretest dan posttest untuk mengukur persepsi siswa terhadap penggunaan aplikasi. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner mengenai persepsi siswa sebanyak 10 butir pernyataan menggunakan 4 skala penilaian. Berdasarkan hasil analisis deskriptif dari data yang diperoleh, persepsi siswa terhadap penggunaan aplikasi PlantNet dan Google Lens mengalami peningkatan sebesar 7,9 poin (kategori sedang). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa sosialisasi, pengenalan dan penggunaan secara langsung teknologi dalam pembelajaran di kelas dapat meningkatkan persepsi siswa terhadap teknologi tersebut. Menurut siswa, aplikasi PlantNet lebih mudah dan efektif digunakan dalam praktik mengidentifikasi tumbuhan jika dibandingkan dengan Google Lens.

Authors: Sartini Ilaria
Published: September 2024

Introducción: A nivel mundial, las trabajadoras en el sector pesquero (captura) no alcanzan al 20% de participación. En el contexto mexicano, los datos reflejan un panorama de infrarrepresentación de las mujeres en la pesca con una fuerte informalidad en el sector. En España, el empleo femenino en el sector pesquero alcanza solo un 3,55% con una mayor representación en los puestos contables. Esta investigación pretende identificar y analizar cuáles son los obstáculos de las mujeres que trabajan en el sector de la pesca artesanal en México y España y cuáles son sus estrategias. Se toma en consideración dos estudios de caso: una cooperativa en Oaxaca, México, y una asociación en Andalucía, España.  Metodología: Se ha utilizado metodología cualitativa, identificando dos estudios de caso, una cooperativa en México y una asociación en España. Se condujeron entrevistas historia de vida y semiestructuradas, un grupo focal por estudio de caso y observación participante en el campo. Resultados: Los obstáculos identificados para las socias corresponden a dinámicas de discriminación de género. Conclusiones: Las estrategias puestas en marcha reflejan necesidades de acceso, permanencia y representación dentro del sector pesquero, tanto en México como en España.

Published: September 2024

Introducción: En el dinámico panorama de las organizaciones modernas, el liderazgo es una competencia vital. Sin embargo, los enfoques tradicionales uniformes a menudo no abordan los desafíos diversos que presentan los entornos contemporáneos. Las transformaciones sociales, educativas y tecnológicas, incluyendo el auge de la inteligencia artificial (IA), requieren un cambio hacia estilos de liderazgo más adaptativos. Metodología: Este estudio explora el liderazgo situacional en la educación superior, centrándose en su capacidad de respuesta a la gestión de recursos impulsada por IA y su papel en el fomento del éxito profesional. Utilizando análisis bayesiano, el estudio evalúa la efectividad del aprendizaje basado en proyectos (PBL) en el desarrollo de cualidades de liderazgo. Se analizaron datos de 404 educadores de 28 instituciones, abarcando diez variables relacionadas con el liderazgo y PBL. Resultados: Los resultados ofrecen ideas sobre el desarrollo curricular y estrategias educativas para dotar a los estudiantes de habilidades esenciales para el éxito profesional. Discusión: El liderazgo situacional, desarrollado por Hersey y Blanchard, enfatiza la adaptación de los estilos de liderazgo a la madurez de los seguidores y situaciones específicas, destacando la necesidad de flexibilidad en entornos dinámicos. Conclusiones: El enfoque en la madurez de los seguidores distingue este modelo de los modelos de liderazgo estáticos, subrayando su relevancia duradera.
