Transportation as an important element in human life, plays a role in facilitating daily activities and supporting the economy. But because of the heavy traffic caused by so many motorized vehicles, people are looking for alternate options, including taking the KRL commuter line. This study attempts to determine how customer loyalty is affected by the cost and level of service provided on the KRL Commuter Line Solo-Jogja route. The findings, which emphasize providing excellent service and living up to customer expectations, demonstrate that service quality has a favorable and substantial impact on customer loyalty. However, pricing has little effect on consumer loyalty. This is mostly because workers use the KRL Commuter Line a lot when they are commuting, which may make prices inaccessible to some groups. Customer loyalty is influenced by both price and service quality, according to simultaneous study, which implies that raising prices and enhancing customer service quality can boost customer loyalty. However, this study adds to our understanding of the variables influencing consumer loyalty in the context of public transportation in particular and is significant in relation to the Solo-Jogja route of the KRL Commuter Line.

Authors: Florence Nunes Cíntia
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo analisa a Agenda Nacional de Trabalho Decente para a Juventude (ANTDJ), lançada no Brasil em 2011. Desse modo, identifica-se o avanço na elaboração da Agenda num contexto de ausência de políticas públicas para as juventudes. Todavia, problematiza-se criticamente alguns elementos constitutivos do conceito de Trabalho Decente formulado pela OIT, bem como, sua efetividade diante de um mundo do trabalho cada vez mais flexível, com o aprofundamento da precariedade das relações e condições de trabalho. Este estudo prioriza a abordagem qualitativa e é orientado pelo Materialismo Histórico-Dialético. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, a qual busca uma aproximação e aprofundamento sobre o tema, a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se que o Trabalho Decente para a juventude se apresenta como uma promessa civilizatória que não pode ser cumprida nos marcos do capital, ao ignorar o traço da superexploração da força de trabalho nas economias dependentes.

Authors: Kreutz Ineiva Terezinha , Fagundes Helenara Silveira
Published: January 2024

Este artigo analisa os sentidos ressignificados que consubstanciam a relação entre as migrações internacionais, suas confluências e tensões no campo dos direitos. Utiliza-se da revisão bibliográfica e se vale de incursões históricas com o objetivo de problematizar as racionalidades elaboradas que silenciam as estruturas de discriminação presentes na lexicografia classificatória e no caráter paradoxal da linguagem ideopolítica presente nas legislações migratórias organizados pelos Estados nacionais, com díspares repercussões no campo dos direitos. Concluiu-se que a ausência da análise e compreensão relativa à significação e ao sentido sócio-histórico e político atribuídos às migrações internacionais e o modo como são categorizados ou diferenciados os/as migrantes têm impacto na vida e nos destinos da população migrante e, revelam o caráter paradoxal de sentidos presentes, tanto no universo e na materialidade das práticas discursivas, quanto nos dispositivos jurídico-normativos e regulamentações correlatas que orientam as ações de governos e políticas de Estados.
Theoretical and methodological foundations for studying the problems of developing social resources of territorial communities
Authors: Sokolova N. O.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the development of theoretical and methodological foundations for studying the problems of developing social resources of territorial communities. The relevance of the research is due to the social order formed in modern society for the effective and optimal use of the social resources available in the territory as the basis for development. The purpose of the research is to determine theoretical and methodological foundations for studying the problems of developing social resources of territorial communities. Theoretical substantiation and research methods were laid by the works of domestic and foreign sociologists who substantiated the importance of the resource approach for the development of socio-economic systems. The application of system analysis made it possible to reveal the interdependence of the development of social resources and the territory. The totality of the components of the social resources of an individual, proposed by V.A. Yadov, most meaningfully reflects the targets of this research. In this regard, it has been proposed to use this material for the formation of sociological tools for obtaining primary information (questionnaires). The use of statistical data makes it possible to obtain an objective idea of the state of the environment and the main trends in territorial development. The systematization of factual and evaluative data has significant potential, which will be realized as part of the construction of a research construct. Summarizing, it can be said that the complexity and diversity of the concept of «social resources» is projected onto the process of forming the methodological foundations of the research. A systematic approach allows us to turn to the analysis of subjective and objective data and compare the received materials. Relying on the resource approach, it is possible to formulate measures to improve the development efficiency of both the territorial community as a whole and individual component of social resources.

Authors:   Tyumen Institute of Advanced Training of Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Kaigorodova Olga S.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the trends in the development of modern society, the transformation of which is going deeper into the digital sphere. The absolute convenience of the available electronic resources designed to solve most of the pressing problems of mankind — from paying for goods, services to solving issues related to the realization of human and civil rights and freedoms, raises, among other things, the issue related to the security of storing data on electronic media, protecting them from compromise or attacks. The decision on the protection of information, including information presented in digital form, is possible only at the state level by adopting a sufficient regulatory framework. The article analyzes individual regulations regulating cybersecurity issues, which are divided into two groups by the author: regulatory legal acts defining the types of information subject to state protection; regulatory legal acts regulating the basic terms, definitions, procedure and mechanism for ensuring the security of information, including information contained on electronic media. The study of this question prompted the author to raise the question of how we are still protected in cyberspace and give an answer to it.

Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the main categories and measures to combat corruption in the Russian Federation. The object of the study was public relations violated by crimes of corruption. The subject of the study was the basic concepts of anti-corruption legislation, their relationship, measures and methods of combating corruption, which can ensure the safety of society from corruption crimes. The theoretical basis of the study was the conceptual provisions and views of criminologists. During the research process, both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, description, systematization, induction, comparison and dialectical method) and specific scientific methods (formal legal and systemic) were used. The purpose of the study was the features and trends of corruption crime, the correlation of the main categories used in anti-corruption legislation, and the identification of criminological measures to combat corruption-related crime. To achieve the purpose of the study, the following tasks were solved: the current legislation in terms of combating corruption was analyzed; the current measures to minimize corruption offenses were studied. Such categories of anti-corruption legislation as “prevention of corruption”, “prevention of corruption”, “suppression of corruption crimes”, “systemic corruption” were subjected to critical analysis. The study of the issue of corruption led to the conclusion that the terms used by the legislator require improvement. The study of the main categories associated with corruption crime helped to identify characteristics characteristic of this phenomenon. The result of the work was the identification of comprehensive preventive measures for corruption based on its characteristic features.
How might Low Carb and Ketogenic Diets affect the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease?
Authors: Chou Josephine , Frassetto Lynda
Published: January 2024

Background:  Obesity, an ever-increasing cause for deaths in the American population, often leads to complications such as Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Both obesity and diabetes predispose to renal disease, which can be ameliorated by treatment of both disorders. Ketogenic and Low Carb diets (KD/LCD) can lower blood sugar of T2DM patients and accelerate weight loss. Diet is a potential factor in slowing the rate of decline in kidney function. Yet, high diet acid loads, as from keto acid, may promote renal damage.  Here, we evaluate existing studies on the benefits or harms of KD/LCD on factors associated with renal disease progression. 

Methods: Reviews and analysis of existing studies on chronic kidney disease and Ketogenic diets. We analyzed eGFR, the measure of the rate of change in decline of renal function to infer the effects of Ketogenic and Low Carb diets.

Results: Nine of the 22 papers reviewed were analyzed.  Studies included from 18 to 1797 participants and included healthy subjects, those with diabetes and /or obesity, and those with normal renal function or moderate kidney failure (eGRF ranged from 94 ± 12 mL/min/ to 40 ml/min/1.73m2).  Study duration ranged from 5 weeks to 6 years. Several studies demonstrated improvements, including decreases in serum creatinine, urinary albumin, weight loss, and eGFR.

Conclusions: Renal function improved in shorter studies of diabetics who demonstrated weight loss.  Longer studies or those in nondiabetics demonstrated no change in renal function.
Creating an Immune System Forever

Published: January 2024

People have been researching how to live longer in our world, as the only thing we cannot escape is death itself. They looked at animals and everything, but recent studies have shown that our immune system is the secret to living longer. By keeping our immune systems in top condition, we can maximize our time to live in this world. Firstly, adopting a healthy lifestyle can make our immune system far healthier.

Doing exercise always enhances immunity by promoting circulation and reducing chronic inflammation. A diet of plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins provides essential nutrients and antioxidants for immune cell function. Sufficient sleep allows for optimal immune system recovery and regulation. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells, which provide protection against pathogens. Routine immunizations, such as influenza and pneumonia vaccines, are essential for older adults at higher risk of severe complications from these infections. Finally, not using drugs or Alcohol keeps our body in the best condition possible, allowing us to produce many immune cells and overall making our body more robust. In specific,

                        Additionally, emerging fields like personalized medicine and immune rejuvenation therapies to individual immune profiles and rejuvenating immune function. In these aspects, this research paper will dive deep into why our immune system declines and how we can prevent that from happening by applying these methods. Methods such as these will be present throughout this research paper. This immune system research paper is attached below.
Quality Assessment of Anesthesia Videos available on YouTube
Authors: Anderson Zoe , McGrale Cody , Bourne Eric , Hagen Molly
Published: January 2024

Previous research indicates patients have limited knowledge regarding anesthesia and the role of medical anesthetists [5]. Research also suggests a majority of patients experience perioperative fear, along with a fear of anesthesia [6]. Achieving patient and public recognition of anesthesia can help lessen fear and anxiety, improving surgical outcomes [5]. Our aim is to determine the quality of YouTube videos related to anesthesia information for patients. YouTube videos were searched utilizing the phrase “How does anesthesia work?” and sorted based on “Relevance” as determined by YouTube. Two medical student graders scored the top 50 videos using a modified DISCERN [8,9]  (“mDISCERN”) and a Global Quality Scale (GQS) [8] as quality measurement instruments. The students reached Agreed Upon Total (“AUT”) scores for each video. The mean AUT mDISCERN score was 4.2 with a standard deviation of s=0.9035079. The mean AUT GQS was 3.88 with a standard deviation of s=1.171777. Tests were ran to compare videos in which healthcare providers/facilities were involved in the production (“credentialed”) versus those in which either professionals were not involved, or their involvement was not disclosed (“not credentialed”). Utilizing mDISCERN, there is a higher video quality for “credentialed” videos. However, there was not a statistically significant difference for GQS scores. The scored videos were generally of good quality and did provide useful information to potential patients. Higher quality videos tended to describe the basic science and physiology behind anesthesia and also clearly explained the process of undergoing anesthesia.
Exposure Assessment of Infectious Virus Particles in a Classroom Setting Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Model
Authors: Lee Eliot , Lee Isaac
Published: January 2024

Indoor air quality in classrooms directly affects comfort, focus, and academic performance. This research leveraged Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze the dispersion of infectious virus particles in classrooms. While Negative Pressure Systems (NPS) are often used at medical centers to inhibit virus particles’ dispersion, those are seldom applied in educational settings. The study aimed to pinpoint optimal ventilation and heating/AC flow rates to prevent virus particle spread. Results showed that prioritizing a higher flow rate at the ventilation unit over the heating/AC unit creates a negative pressure differential, decreasing virus dispersion by up to 93%. To establish negative pressure, the minimum flow rate ratio of ventilation to heating/AC should be 1.0. But for maximal virus particle reduction, a ratio of 2.8 is optimal. This research underscores CFD's value in understanding NPS dynamics and simulating virus behavior in classrooms. The findings suggest that NPS implementation in schools could significantly curb virus particle spread.
Orbital Mechanics & Subsystem Configurations of a Black Hole Analysing Spacecraft
Authors: Ompragash Shathria , Awasthi Manuj , Hengst Shane
Published: January 2024

Although invisible in the optical frequency, black holes possess an immense gravitational power capable of holding trillions of stellar objects together by acting as galactic nuclei. Scientists are currently only able to conduct indirect studies by analysing the heat-sourced X-ray emissions generated by the acceleration of surrounding matter towards the black hole singularity. Direct means of experimentation and analysis cannot be accomplished due to humankind’s limited technology; moreover, the distance of separation between Earth and black holes also serves as a hindrance to the advancement of space expedition. This paper aims to provide the scientific community with foundational information to materialise a deep space satellite that will have the ability to investigate the cosmic implications initiated by the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. The orbital mechanics and system configurations of deep space satellites such as the Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, along with the Voyager probes were critically studied. This allowed for the conceptualisation of a hypothetical deep space satellite with the potential to analyse the gravitational patterns and conduct investigations based on the theory of special relativity whilst orbiting a supermassive black hole. Features such as orbital manoeuvres and launch vehicle specifications were explored. Furthermore, an extensive study on the satellite’s subsystem configuration and payload design were also conducted.
Does Air Travel Adversely Affect Team Performance in Major League Baseball?
Authors: Diaz Ciro , Hannan Luke , Pedroza Jesus , Sanchez Kenneth , Sommers Paul Martin
Published: January 2024

Previous studies of the effects of air travel on team performance in baseball focused on jet lag, namely, teams that traveled across at least two time zones between games.  But baseball teams that travel extensively up and down either the West or East Coast do not cross one (let alone two) time zones.  For the years between 2019 and 2022 (including the COVID-19 pandemic-shortened 2020 season), the authors relate the difference between a team’s season-long winning percentage at home less its winning percentage on the road to the total regular season-long number of miles traveled for the 15 teams in each league.  Save for a pair of teams in the American League in 2020, the authors find that there is no statistically discernible relationship between the number of miles traveled per season and the difference between home and away team win percentages.
Understanding the origin and role of driver mutations in the case of Acute Myeloid Leukemia using a simulation study
Authors: Kaur Achint , Lefrancq Noemie
Published: January 2024

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with millions of new cases diagnosed each year. Understanding how those cancers arise within individuals is a major challenge. Here we focus on Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) a type of blood cancer in the bone marrow that involves the formation of abnormal myeloid cells in an individual. Each year, 190,000 cases are diagnosed worldwide, of which 147,000 die.  (Acute Myeloid Leukemia, n.d.)

In this paper, we aim to better understand the origin of AML and the role of driver mutations at the individual level.

We build a Birth-Death model to explore the role of mutation along with cell birth rate, cell death rate, and tissue size. Each simulation is individual-specific, which allows us to consider stochasticity across individuals.

We show that initial cell birth rate and cell death rate only play a minor role in cancer progression, even if there is a large inter-individual variance. On the contrary, we show that driver mutation rates play a more critical role in causing Acute Myeloid Leukemia. All in all, our paper highlights large variability in cancer progression across individuals and the major role of driver mutations in causing AML. This simulation model could be used to study other types of cancers.

“Media’s Influence on Enhancing Water Use Efficiency and Climate Control: Community Capacity Building in Kenya”
Authors: Monyenye Sheila Kirotwa
Published: January 2024

In recent years, the global community has witnessed the increasing impacts of climate change, resulting in various environmental challenges, including water scarcity (Stringer et al., 2021). Developing countries like Kenya are particularly vulnerable to these changes due to their heavy reliance on agriculture and limited access to water resources (Maingey et al., 2022). Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach involving not only scientific and technological solutions but also community engagement and capacity building. One vital aspect of this approach is the role of media in disseminating information and fostering awareness among communities. Media platforms, including television, radio, print, and digital media, possess the unique ability to reach a broad audience and convey messages that can drive positive behavior change (Bara et al., 2021). In Kenya, where access to information is growing but remains uneven, the media can be a powerful tool to educate and empower communities regarding water use efficiency and climate control (Wutich et al., 2023). This study seeks to explore the significant role that media plays in facilitating community capacity building for enhancing water use efficiency and promoting climate control in Kenya. By examining how media channels communicate information, influence public perception, and stimulate local engagement, this research aims to uncover the various strategies employed by media to drive positive changes in water management practices and climate-conscious behaviors. Through an in-depth analysis of media campaigns, coverage, and communication strategies, this study will contribute to a better understanding of how media can effectively shape perceptions, attitudes, and actions related to water conservation and climate resilience (Ali et al., 2023). The insights gained from this research could inform policy recommendations and practical interventions that leverage the power of media for sustainable community development in Kenya and potentially serve as a model for other regions facing similar challenges.

Authors: Khudair Kazem AL-KINANI Nihad , Sabah Abd Al-Ridha AL-TAMIMI Rfid , Muhammad Abdul-Hussein AL-BADIRI Helen
Published: January 2024

The issue of renewable energy, an alternative to energy resulting from fossil fuels, is one of the most important topics that researchers have been interested in in recent years, due to its importance in reducing the effects of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution they cause, as well as being one of the important methods that reduce the depletion of large quantities of oil and gas in generating electrical energy from it. The generation of alternative electric energy depends on a number of natural e lements that are naturally available, permanent, and renewable, such as solar radiation energy, wind energy, as well as water energy and bioenergy resulting from the use of animal remains and the remains of various human uses. We will focus here in this re search on wind energy as one of the most important energies used in the generation of clean, environmentally friendly electric power because of its characteristic of not leaving any environmental pollutants during its generation, as well as its other advantages. The generation of electric power from the wind needs to choose the optimal areas for generating it in a way that guarantees its continuity, and generating it in economic quantities that contribute to meeting the increasing needs of electricity in various human activities. Therefore, the study of winds and knowledge of their characteristics, speed and directions are among the most important things concerned by those interested in climate affairs to ensure the continuity of their generation, whose speed should not be less than 3.6 m3 / second during the months of the year. And when choosing any area to generate electric power from wind and installing wind turbines in it, several important criteria must be available that must be available in the chosen area to ensure the success of the project of the stations built on it and ensure its continuity and in economic quantities, so we will focus in our research on those environmental and spatial criteria that must be available in choosing Areas of installation of electric power plants from wind, and we will take the western plateau region in Najaf province as a model for this study.. Key words: The Renewable Energy, Fossil Fuels, Solar Radiation Energy

Doctoral researchers are often assumed to be the academic actors with the least agency due to rigid academic hierarchies. In doctoral education scholarship, it has not been extensively discussed how doctoral researchers deploy their agency beyond their own research projects or how they might even play a pivotal role in shaping their institutions. By drawing on the concept of a tempered radical, in these Notes from the field, I provide a reflexive account of actions I took as a doctoral researcher to create change within doctoral education: searching for allies, focusing on positive deviance, and accepting slow, incremental change. With this analysis and by offering some considerations for practice, I argue that doctoral researchers should be encouraged to see themselves as agentive and take opportunities—even risks—to affect the settings they work in and academia in general.

Young coconut mesocarp (YCM) contains considerable phenolic compounds that provide high antioxidant activity. However, the YCM is identified as an underutilized by-product in food industries. A novel functional food derived from YCM, viz., cookies, was proposed through this study to take advantage of the containing antioxidants. The cookies were prepared using regular flour (CR) or substituted with YCM powder at 8 (C8) or 16 % (C16). The macro components (carbohydrate, protein, fat and ash), in vitro antioxidant activities, and the level of individual phenolic compounds in the cookies were measured. The addition of YCM powder increased the crude fiber by up to 5 % and moisture content by about 2 - 3 %. Conversely, the fat level was lowered by 1 %. The in vitro antioxidant activities of cookies C8 and C16 were noticeably increased compared to the CR. The increase was attributable to the presence of phenolic compounds such as catechin and 3 caffeic acid derivatives, which were retained after the baking process. The addition of YCM changed the visual appearance by darkening the color of cookies which was indicated by lightness at 45.33 and 23.87; a* value was 17.30 and 18.97; b* value was 29.47 and 19.83; and chroma at 34.15 and 27.49, for C8 and C16, respectively. The addition of YCM also reduced the hardness due to the presence of moisture content in the incorporated cookies. Additionally, the addition of YCM was effective in prolonging shelf-life by increasing the oxidative stability of YCM-based cookies, indicated by the lower peroxide value (0.1 mEq O2·kg–1) after 4 months of storage compared to the regular cookies. YCM powder can be an alternative source of antioxidants, and it may be possible to include YCM powder in cookies and other pastries to increase their nutritional value and antioxidant activity to produce functional food.
HIGHLIGHTS

Young coconut mesocarp (YCM) was used as an ingredient to produce functional cookies and produce a higher fiber and ash but lower lipid and protein content compared to regular cookies
The incorporation of YCM into the cookies increased the antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds in the cookies
The addition of YCM prolongs the shelf-life of cookies compared to the reference cookies by lowering the fat content due to the high fiber and inhibiting the oxidation process due to the presence of catechin, chlorogenic and 3 caffeic acid derivatives

Corticosteroid, an immunomodulator agent for treating hyperinflammation, is widely used in severe and critical COVID-19 patients. This study is a retrospective observational cohort clinical study comparing changes in NLR, CRP, and LCR values with and without corticosteroid therapy in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Those samples were chosen due to widespread access and economically sound to be examined repetitively. Samples were collected by total sampling of medical records of patients admitted to the COVID-19 intensive care unit at RSUD Dr Soetomo between March 2020 to July 2021. Inclusion criteria are complete medical records of patients > 18 years with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis with severe and/or acute symptoms according to the WHO criteria and receiving corticosteroids (dexamethasone 6 mg/24 h or equivalent dose) for a minimum of 3 days. Patients not receiving corticosteroid treatment were included in the control group. NLR, CRP, and LCR were evaluated on day-0, day-3, day-6, and day-10 after initiation of corticosteroid therapy; in the control group, their hospital admission was designated as day-0. Comorbidities, complications, and other therapies that may affect NLR, CRP, and LCR values are noted. A total of 460 patients were included in the inclusion criteria. The control group had no significant median NLR, CRP, and LCR changes during observation (p-value > 0.05). In the therapy group, there was a significant increase in NLR and LCR and a decrease in CRP (p-value < 0.0001). When compared between control and therapy groups, the median changes in NLR and CRP differed significantly (p-value < 0.05), while significant differences in LCR occurred on days 6 and 10. Corticosteroid increases NLR and LCR and decreases CRP with significant differences between groups.
HIGHLIGHTS

Corticosteroid treatment significantly increases NLR and LCR levels, while CRP levels decrease significantly in severe and critical COVID-19 patients
NLR measurements are unsuitable as indicators of post-therapy inflammatory status during the ongoing immunopathological process of COVID-19 or due to a period of neutrophilia caused by the steroid itself
LCR measurement can detect alterations in inflammatory status up to the tenth day following corticosteroid treatment in patients with severe COVID-19
CRP measurements remain a reliable indicators of inflammatory status changes for up to 10 days following corticosteroid therapy in severe and critical COVID-19 patients

asertividad para el fortalecimiento de las democracias. Niveles de asertividad y participación ciudadana en población universitaria
Authors: Hernández Velandia Wilmer A. , Guzmán Zamora Nelson
Published: January 2024

El objetivo de la investigación ha sido el de confirmar o descartar la correlación de las variables asertividad y participación en estudiantes de pregrado de una universidad de Bogotá. Para la recopilación de los datos entre la población señalada, constituida por 1490 estudiantes de todos los programas académicos, se realizó un muestreo probabilístico por racimos sistemático, considerando un nivel de confianza de 95% y un margen de error de 5%, que determinó la participación final de 312 estudiantes. Luego se ejecutó el protocolo de investigación con un diseño no experimental, de alcance correlacional y momento transversal. El análisis descriptivo de los datos arrojó niveles altos de asertividad (76 percentiles promedio) y bajos de participación (36.7). En sintonía con ello, el análisis de estadística inferencial no paramétrico confirmó la correlación negativa y baja de estas dos variables (-.231). Altos niveles de asertividad en relación con niveles bajos de participación pueden sugerir 1) formas no convencionales de participación que han aparecido al mismo tiempo que las redes sociales; 2) conformidad ciudadana con un tipo de democracia liberal y representativa, y 3) la necesidad de llevar a cabo investigaciones que relacionen la participación con otra tipología comportamental más allá de los estilos clásicos.
Educar para qué? Los propósitos de la educación en y más allá del colapso
Authors: Rincón-Gallardo Santiago
Published: January 2024

En este ensayo se proponen cuatro propósitos para la educación en el contexto actual de colapso social, político y ambiental. Se argumenta que la escuela convencional estorba la realización plena de estos propósitos. Se propone la metáfora de los movimientos sociales para dar forma a un nuevo paradigma que redefina cómo entender y practicar el liderazgo y el cambio educativo. Para construir los argumentos aquí presentados se revisan trabajos históricos y científicos que validan la existencia de la etapa actual de colapso y se examinan algunas críticas clave a la escolarización como vía de dominación, control y deshumanización. Se revisa y se discute el pensamiento y trabajo de académicos y activistas como Margaret Wheatley y Marshall Ganz. Se propone que, en el colapso actual, la educación debe cuidar y proteger el poder de aprender de niñas, niños y jóvenes y, con ello, salvaguardar el espíritu humano, no porque se tenga certeza del éxito del empeño, sino porque es lo que es correcto hacer. El ensayo ofrece dirección, orientaciones conceptuales y prácticas para la acción ante los escenarios aterradores que del actual colapso civilizatorio y planetario.
