Authors: Coapaza-Mamani Marina Yanet , Valero-Ancco Vidnay Noel , Lujano-Ortega Yolanda
Published: August 2024

Objective: Currently, researching the work engagement (EL) of principals is crucial, due to its direct impact on educational quality and institutional performance. Principals with high levels of engagement not only lead more effectively, but also inspire and motivate faculty and staff, promoting a positive and collaborative work environment. In addition, understanding the factors that influence the engagement of principals allows the development of strategies and policies that strengthen their well-being and performance, which is essential to face contemporary educational challenges and ensure the success and sustainability of educational institutions. In this framework, the objective of the research was to establish the relationship between sociodemographic factors and LE in directors of educational institutions of the Chucuito Juli Local Educational Management Unit – 2023.
 
Methods: The research adopted a quantitative, non-experimental approach, with a cross-sectional correlational design. The population was composed of 365 directors, from whom a sample of 187 directors was randomly and stratified selected. A sociodemographic file was used to evaluate sex, age, higher education, educational level, area, type of institution, employment status, and teacher scale; and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-17) questionnaire to measure the level of engagement with its strength, dedication and absorption dimensions.
 
Results: It is revealed that the level of LE of the principals is high since 51.3% of the investigated identify with this level, in the dimensions vigor, dedication and absorption, they also reflected a high level, which means that they are deeply committed to their role and responsibilities within the educational institution. This is reflected in their high motivation, dedication and enthusiasm towards work. A director with a high level of EL not only shows a strong emotional connection to the organization's goals and values, but also inspires and motivates his or her team to achieve common goals. It is also shown that the teacher scale factor is related to the EL, since adequate remuneration increases employee commitment by providing greater financial satisfaction and decreasing stress related to economic issues, when employees consider their compensation to be fair and competitive, they feel appreciated and motivated, which reinforces their emotional and mental bond with work.
 
Conclusion: The sociodemographic factors sex, age, higher education, educational level, geographical area, type of institution and employment status are not related to the EL of the directors of the educational institutions of the Chucuito Juli Local Educational Management Unit – 2023, since the p value obtained in the correlation of each factor was greater than 0.05,  The only factor that is related to the EL is the teacher scale, since the p-value obtained is lower than the proposed significance level (0.04<0.05).

Authors: Santos Renato Ciriaco Alves , Sucupira Grazielle Isabele Cristina Silva
Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to characterize the solidarity economy enterprises located in Vale do Mucuri/MG, also verifying whether there is a difference in the profile of the enterprises that have closed their activities and those that remain active.
 
Method: Secondary data from the Solidarity Economy mapping carried out by SENAES was used. A descriptive analysis of the characteristics of enterprises that are no longer in operation in the region was carried out, using graphs and tables, and the descriptive analysis, factor analysis and cluster analysis were renewed in relation to enterprises that started in operation.
 
Results and Discussion: In the case of enterprises that have ceased their activities, it is clear that the profile of most of the questions is repeated in comparison with active EES. In the factor analysis, it was observed the creation of 4 indexes, which can be useful in the classification and evaluation of enterprises: enterprise management index, index of challenges to overcome, index of efficiency in the use of financial credits and labor index not associated. The cluster analysis identified 4 clusters, however only one concentrated almost 90% of the active enterprises in the Mucuri Valley. This demonstrates the homogeneity of the characteristics of the EES, making it difficult to identify groups with different characteristics.
 
Research Implications: The data presented may point to different possibilities for intervention through specific support and promotion programs for enterprises based on knowledge of their characteristics.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by focusing on the characterization of the solidarity economy in the Mucuri Valley and the application of quantitative methods.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: To analyse the growth of African mahogany (Khaya senegalensis) seedlings, regarding their morphology and physiology, in soil fertilized with different doses of N, from the application of ammonium sulphate.
 
Theoretical framework: Based on scientific articles found on search engines and books in the area of ​​soil fertility and plant nutrition. To support the explanation of how the physiological characteristics of seedlings are related to the nutrition they receive from fertilization. Therefore, the application of different doses to the soil can provide different physiological responses, resulting in greater or lesser growth and dry mass production of plants.
 
Method: The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with five doses of N and five replications, using ammonium sulphate as the source. The doses tested were: T0 – without fertilization; T1 – 50 mg dm-3; T2 – 100 mg dm-3; T3 – 150 mg dm-3; T4 – 200 mg dm-3. The seedlings were produced and then transplanted to the definitive container, when it received nitrogen fertilization. These seedlings went through an adaptation process and, at the end of 90 days, the morphological characteristics were evaluated: height, diameter, leaf dry mass, stem dry mass, root dry mass and; physiological characteristics: net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, intercellular CO2 concentration, vapor pressure deficit and transpiration rate.
 
Results and conclusion: Nitrogen fertilization influenced the morphological and physiological characteristics of African mahogany seedlings. The greatest growth and production of dry mass was observed at doses of 100 and 150 mg dm-3 of N. These results were related to the increase in the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration and CO2 concentration. Recommending the most economical dose of 100 mg dm-3 of N.
 
Research implications: These results indicate that nitrogen fertilization is essential for the quality growth of African mahogany seedlings, and the dose to be applied is essential for this to happen, since values ​​lower than this dose may not allow the plant to perform at its maximum. growth potential. Meanwhile, higher doses do not guarantee greater growth and will result in unnecessary expenses and, probably, loss of growth due to toxicity.
 
Originality/value: Using nitrogen fertilizers, in the correct dose for the species, increases its growth potential and guarantees the production of quality seedlings within the nursery.

Authors: Yurtseven Çaglar
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study explores the potential of ecotourism as a sustainable alternative for Turkey's tourism industry. We aimed to assess the alignment between tourism facilities' self-reported sustainability efforts and their potential implementation..
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in ecotourism and sustainable tourism principles, emphasizing environmental responsibility, community well-being, and long-term tourism viability.
 
Method: Content analysis examined sustainability-related keywords and dedicated sustainability pages on the websites of 161 tourism facilities in Muğla.
 
Results and Discussion: While 104 facilities used sustainability keywords, only 4 possessed recognized sustainability certifications.  Limited details on dedicated sustainability pages suggest these keywords may be primarily for marketing. This highlights a potential gap between rhetoric and reality.
 
Research Implications: The study emphasizes the limitations of website analysis for assessing sustainability practices. Future research should incorporate on-site visits, stakeholder interviews, and a deeper marketing analysis.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes by demonstrating the limitations of website content analysis and highlighting the need for a more holistic approach to assessing ecotourism practices in Turkey. This knowledge can guide stakeholders towards promoting a more responsible and sustainable future for Turkish tourism.
