¿Somos conscientes del efecto de las redes sociales en nuestra nutrición?
Authors: Mamani Escobar Brenda , Redrovan Daniela , Villeda Emanuel , Hernández Santana Adriana
Published: December 2021

Todos los seres humanos tenemos una percepción intuitiva hacia la nutrición. De hecho, es posible sentir cómo una dieta “saludable” o “no saludable” puede tener efectos en diferentes aspectos de nuestras vidas. Adicionalmente, las redes sociales (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc.) desencadenan una gran cantidad de opiniones y muchas veces logran dar forma a las actitudes de sus usuarios. La Organización Mundial de la Salud refiere que una alimentación saludable es una preocupación constante a nivel mundial. El comportamiento alimentario de cada persona está relacionado con el estilo de vida que lleva, siendo este último un pilar esencial para la salud humana. Los estilos de vida son influenciados por la difusión de información y la interacción con los usuarios y a partir del uso de redes sociales se ha vuelto más sencillo y directo. Hoy en día la difusión de información de alimentación y nutrición está al alcance de un clic y su uso puede llegar a abarcar una gran parte de la población mundial. Realmente, la mayoría de las personas que usan internet pueden acceder y difundir información alimenticia y nutricional de manera casi inmediata. El problema radica en que estas acciones atraen a los usuarios sin tomar en cuenta las consecuencias positivas o negativas para la salud, al ámbito social e incluso el económico o el ambiental.
El quebrantamiento del Estado de Derecho por los Titulares de la Administración Pública Hondureña y su efecto directo en la Transparencia, la Corrupción y la Impunidad
Authors: Fernández Fernández Oscar Alfredo
Published: December 2021

El interés de la presente ponencia es en un primer momento ilustrar la evolución histórica y establecer que se entiende en la actualidad por un Estado de Derecho, el cual diremos que consiste básicamente en: La existencia de Imperio de la Ley, La Distribución del Poder Estatal, La Legalidad de la Administración y La responsabilidad de las autoridades y Respeto y garantía de los Derechos Humanos a través del ordenamiento jurídico.

Posteriormente nos enfocaremos en plantear lo relativo al Estado de Derecho en Honduras y el papel que han desempeñado los Titulares de la Administración Pública Hondureña entorno a este, exponiendo lo que establece tanto la Constitución de la República como la Ley General de la Administración Pública, en donde, de acorde a la prelación anterior, por un lado, se nos dice que Honduras es un Estado de Derecho y por el otro que la Administración Pública tiene por objeto fortalecer ese Estado de Derecho.

Seguido a lo anterior se evidenciará como en Honduras a través de los Titulares de la Administración Pública se han violentado las bases de todo Estado de Derecho por medio de: a) el irrespeto del principio de división de poderes a través de la concentración de poder en el Poder Ejecutivo y la subordinación a esté de los demás Poderes del Estado por medio del Consejo Nacional De Seguridad y Defensa, b) El Irrespeto del Derecho Humano al Acceso a la Información Pública y c) El irrespeto al Imperio de la Ley por la violación directa a la Constitución de la República.

Llegando a la conclusión de que el actuar de los Titulares de la Administración Pública ha provocado el quebrantamiento del Estado de Derecho en el territorio nacional, afectando directamente la transparencia en el actuar administrativo, fomentando la violación de Derechos Humanos, la Corrupción y la Impunidad, colocándonos en el cuarto lugar en relación a los países más corruptos de América Latina y el número uno respecto a los índices de impunidad en dicha región.

Y por último estableceremos el actuar equivocado por parte de los Titulares de la Administración Pública ante la ausencia del Estado de Derecho en el manejo de la Emergencia Nacional generada por el Covid-19 en donde ha imperado la corrupción llevándose de encuentro vidas hondureñas y agudizando la pobreza en el país.
Género y Feminización de los Espacios Extensionistas Latinoamericanos
Authors: Valenzuela Tovar Sylvia María
Published: December 2021

Conscientes de la importancia e impacto de la función universitaria de extensión o proyección social en el contexto colombiano y latinoamericano como diálogo de saberes y herramienta de transformación y desarrollo, durante los últimos años, diferentes instituciones de la región, han venido realizando el seguimiento al rol femenino en el ejercicio de dicha función.

El presente documento contiene entonces una síntesis de lo encontrado al respecto durante el último quinquenio, permitiendo a los lectores conocer el cierre de brechas de género en la dirección, planeación y gestión de la extensión universitaria en las muchas instituciones de educación superior latinoamericanas tanto públicas como privadas. Lo anterior a partir de una revisión documental y una serie de entrevistas realizadas a los responsables de la función universitaria en 20 países de la región y alrededor de 180 instituciones.

 El texto habla de mujeres directoras, jefes y gestoras de la extensión universitaria o proyección social y propone una reflexión en torno a los procesos de feminización, a los sujetos involucrados en la función universitaria, así como al tipo de participación de hombres y mujeres en los equipos extensionistas.
Estrategia de aprendizaje en la formación ambiental con estudiantes de las Ciencias Agrarias
Authors: Montoya Dompé Indiana Ramona , Duarte Acevedo Narciso Lenin
Published: December 2021

En la actualidad, los procesos de aprendizaje de las ciencias agrarias deben volcar la mirada a fortalecer la temática ambiental y protección de los medios de vida, a transformar la ciencia y la tecnología a favor de una educación de calidad, orientada a fortalecer la temática ambiental, ya que permite una combinación extraordinaria entre los saberes y los quehaceres en el campo. Se ha desarrollado un estudio exploratorio, basándose desde un enfoque cualitativo, con el afán de comprender las valoraciones percibidas por los actores que han participado de estas experiencias. En palabras de los estudiantes “consideran que los conocimientos adquiridos nos benefician a saber trabajar la tierra sin degradarla” uno de los hitos de mayor relevancia en esta experiencia, es haber roto esquemas de la relación familia-hijos, puesto que los padres, al dejar a sus hijos realizar estos experimentos en sus propios lugares, consideran un paso importante en la vida de los jóvenes, que van cambiando su propio entorno. Estas acciones permiten armonizar actitudes, esquemas mentales y prácticas productivas que estén a la par de los desafíos del futuro.
La extensión artística-cultural y deportiva en la formación integral de los estudiantes universitarios
Authors: Martin Guevara Wilmer
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo destaca la importancia de las actividades culturales y deportivas de la Facultad Regional Multidisciplinaria de Carazo (FAREM-Carazo) en el marco de la extensión universitaria como una de las funciones sustantivas de nuestra universidad. Los objetivos que guiaron este proceso fueron: 1) Diagnosticar el estado actual de las disciplinas artísticas y deportivas de la FAREM-Carazo y 2) Reflexionar sobre el aporte de estas actividades en la formación integral de los estudiantes de la FAREM-Carazo. La revisión documental y las entrevistas a los artistas, atletas y entrenadores han sido el método y técnica propicia para compilar la información; por su parte, la triangulación de datos por informantes ayudó a validar los aportes de los entrevistados.

Los resultados reflejan una participación activa del estudiantado, a pesar de que no se cuenta con las instalaciones ni recursos óptimos para la práctica de las disciplinas artísticas y deportivas. Además, los estudiantes reconocen que pertenecer a una disciplina artística o deportiva les otorga cierto estatus de reconocimiento en su comunidad, la facultad y en su grupo particular, además de aportar en ellos (as) la capacidad de trabajar en equipo, seguridad escénica y liderazgo. Se puede concluir que las actividades culturales y deportivas juegan un papel preponderante en el desarrollo integral del estudiantado y de la sociedad en su conjunto, en especial de los sectores menos favorecidos, preservando, difundiendo y poniendo a su alcance los servicios y bienes culturales y recreativos que nacen de la misma sociedad.
identitarismo cántabro: la Asociación Cultural Alfonso I de Cantabria (ACAIC)
Authors: Gómez Fernández Eva
Published: December 2021

La Asociación Cultural Alfonso I de Cantabria (ACAI) es un movimiento español de extrema derecha que surgió en Santander en 2011. Su discurso populista, antiinmigración y antisistema ha calado en Burgos y Logroño, donde se han creado dos organizaciones homónimas que persiguen los mismos objetivos. El artículo analizará la génesis y la evolución de esta organización cántabra para comprender los motivos de su aceptación social. A través de la netnografía examinaremos su ideología, sus herramientas discursivas y sus estrategias para captar simpatizantes. Este colectivo se integra en una nueva extrema derecha que se ha modificado, aunque se perciben ciertos elementos nacional-católicos que podrían recordarnos al franquismo. ACAIC emplea las nuevas tecnologías para difundir su mensaje provocando que los partidos convencionales tengan que amoldarse a los cambios.

GOODBYE TO THE BODY AND THE SOUND OF SILENCE IN THE EXAMPLE OF THE MOVIE SOUND OF METAL
Authors: ŞENSES Mihriban
Published: December 2021

In this text, the movie "Sound of Metal" is discussed in terms of body philosophy, body anthropology, and health sociology. Sound of Metal is about the experiences of a person and couple after hearing loss. This film has been examined especially with reference to David Le Breton's important works titled Goodbye to the Body, Anthropology of Pain and Ivan Illich's Medical Nemesis: The Expropriation of Health. In the film, Ruben's focus on bodily loss and the process of not being able to cope with it are actually discussed through the mind-body distinction of the modern age, the desire of man to transform into a mind or a machine, and the social and cultural iatrogenesis that Illich mentions. It is also emphasized in the text that health, illness, physical "losses" are cultural, political or sociological phenomena rather than individual, physiological, medical issues and that they should be approached differently. In addition, it has been argued that human ontologically is an ear/hearing/speech/language/meaning entity, but modern scientific, medical and technological culture imprisons humans in a mechanical, visual and technical world. The result of such a culture is undoubtedly the loss of meaning that many thinkers bring to the agenda in their criticism of modernity. Therefore, the scientific, technological, medical culture we live in has to be re-evaluated based on these philosophical and sociological criticism points.

For a long time I have considered any opportunity to collaborate with Dr Ingrid Leman Stefanovic a privilege. This time the opportunity was offered by the international Symposion on 'The Natural City" sponsored by the University of Toronto and the World Society for Ekistics which took place on the campus of the university and was organizedand chaired by her on behalf of both sponsors. I wish to thank her for having accepted to act as guest editor for this volume of Ekistics in spite of her very heavy commitments due to her role as Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Environment, University of Toronto. I also wish to express my admiration for her inspired and inspiring introductory statement on the concept of the natural city (see pp. 168 and 169). In this Symposion, an international and interdisciplinary group of approx. 100 experts and a fairly large number of other participants and students held a very intensive three-day program - 4 plenary and 28 special sessions, with several papers and discussions in each (see p. 162) - determined to challenge the erroneous but still prevailing perception of "human settlements" and "nature" as independent of each other; and to stress the need for the general adoption of the integration of these two notions - which is inherent in the approach of both convenors of the Symposion.

Islamabad, the creation of a new capital
Authors: Doxiadis C. A.
Published: December 2021

My subject is the problem of the creation of a new capital city and its solution. I will analyse and present it as a general case of interest to all of us, and as an illustration I will take the example of Islamabad, the new capital of Pakistan which was conceived in 1959, planned from 1959 to 1963, and which entered the implementation phase in 1961. The analysis and presentation of this problem as a general case is necessary because in the field of human settlements we are inclined to attach too much importance to the example and tend to imitate it; whereas what are important are the underlying principles which led to the specific solution - a solution which in some ways is coincidental, as it represents the application of principles of general validity on specific (coincidental) features of nature.

Impact of Multi-Sensory Phonics Programs in Teaching English as an Additional Language
Authors: Langille James , Green Zoila
Published: December 2021

Complexity of the various needs that come with English language learners (ELLs) beyond language learning (such as learning gaps, social and cultural differences, etc.) and increased numbers of English language learners in Canadian schools have led educational stakeholders to seek ways to promote reading improvement. While literature points out the relevance of systematic phonics instruction in reading and the importance of form-focused instruction (FFI) in English language learning, multi-sensory phonics programs (MSPPs) appear to be an effective reading tool that embodies them both. Although evidence on the efficacy of these programs is copious in students with learning difficulties, little is known about MSPPs in connection with English language learning. As a result, this integrative literature review explores the notable benefits of MSPPs, their connection with ELL instruction, and how successful program implementation may depend on teacher training.
Pratiques enseignantes mises en œuvre en contexte de classe autochtone universitaire : analyse du discours du corps enseignant d’une université québécoise
Authors: Gingras-Lacroix Gabriel , Labra Oscar
Published: December 2021

Cette recherche qualitative phénoménologique réalisée auprès de dix membres du corps enseignant de l’Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue s’intéresse aux pratiques enseignantes utilisées pour favoriser la réussite des étudiants autochtones. Il résulte de l’analyse thématique du discours des participants, collecté par des entrevues semi-dirigées, que leurs choix pédagogiques ne dépendent pas de la présence ou non d’étudiants autochtones dans le groupe. Cette étude révèle également que, dans ce contexte, les participants adaptent le contenu de leurs cours et adoptent une attitude d’écoute, de flexibilité, d’ouverture et de respect. Cela témoigne des efforts individuels déployés pour rendre l’enseignement universitaire plus inclusif.
Pendampingan kepada Pengusaha di Pedesaan dalam Mendukung Eksistensi Madrasah Diniyah di Desa Pagerwojo Tulungagung Jawa Timur
Authors: Fasya Zaini
Published: December 2021

Lembaga pendidikan Islam yang dikelola oleh sekelompok masyarakat, selalu saja membutuhkan kerjasama dan campurtangan pihak lain sebagai penyangga utama. Dalam usaha memajukan di berbagai aspek baik tenaga kependidikan, sarana prasarana dan sumber pendanaan sebagai penopang maju dan mundurnya sebuah lembaga pendidikan, maka lembaga pendidikan islam itu mutlak adanya kesepahaman para pengelola, praktisi pendidikan dan penyokong utama.  Jika Lembaga pendidikan Islam jauh dari rasa kepemilikan akan mengalami keterasingan, sulit berkembang dan pada giliranya lembaga pendidikan itu mati segan hiduppun tak mau (layamutu wala yahya). Sebaliknya jika hidup dan matinya lembaga pendidikan itu, ditanggung bersama para pendiri, pengelola, para aghniyak dan usahawan sukses maka besar harapannya lembaga pendidikan tersebut dapat berjalan dan mengalami puncak kemajuan.  Karena itu, usaha pendampingan dari berbagai institusi baik pengelola lembaga pendidikan, tenaga kependidikan juga pendampingan para pelaku usaha layak untuk ditingkatkan ditengah-tengah masyarakat sebagai wahana pengabdian.

Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) is local application methods practiced in different sectors especially in fisheries by local population from time immemorial with some changes from time to time. Many of the ITKs are based on scientific values but they are not well documented. The present study aimed to evaluate the Indigenous Traditional Knowledge practiced in West Jaintia Hills District of Meghalaya. The ITKs identified are divided in three different groups. They are ITK in value added product, ITKs used as fish baits and fish poison and ITKs used as gear for catching fishes from natural water bodies.
One Parameter A (α) Distribution: Different Methods of Estimation
Authors: Dey Sanku , Saha Mahendra , Goswami Sankar
Published: December 2021

This paper addresses the different methods of estimation of the unknown parameter of one parameter A(α) distribution from the frequentist point of view. We briefly describe different approaches, namely, maximum likelihood estimator, least square and weighted least square estimators, maximum product spacing estimators, Cram´er-von Mises estimator and compare those using extensive numerical simulations. Next, we obtain parametric bootstrap confidence interval of the parameter using frequentist approaches. Finally, one real data set has been analysed for illustrative purposes.
Comparative Study of Active and Allosteric Interaction in Protein Kinases
Authors: Ahmed Jefrin , Lamo Judith Mary , Mylliemngap Baphilinia Jones
Published: December 2021

Protein kinases are key regulators of cell function that constitute one of the largest and most functionally diverse gene families. By adding phosphate groups to substrate proteins, they direct the activity, localization and overall function of many proteins, and serve to orchestrate the activity of almost all cellular processes. The main protein kinases consist of protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase B (PKB), and protein kinase C (PKC) and are distinguished from each other by the different intracellular second messengers involved in their regulation and by the selective substrates they use. They all have a binding site for Mg2+-ATP (phosphate donor) and for substrate protein as well as various regulatory sites. We formulated to compare the binding capacity of protein kinases at the active site to allosteric sites. By comparing the active site and allosteric site of the protein kinases – A, B and C, using molecular docking it was found that in most of the cases the binding energy is high when an inhibitor binds to an active site as compared to the allosteric site. This comparison gave us an understanding of the interaction and inhibition of compounds to protein kinases in order to inhibit the activity of protein kinase A, B and C. It was concluded that for inhibiting the protein kinase function such as cell division and proliferation, binding of inhibitor to the allosteric site will be more effective.

Authors: Phukan P , Laskar M. A. , Mylliemngap B J , Lamo J M
Published: December 2021

Clitoria ternatea L. of the family Fabaceae is an economical, ornamental as well as medicinal important species. Chromosome characterization of C. ternatea, encompassing karyomorphological as well as fluorochrome binding was carried out in the present investigation. Karyomorphological studies showed the presence of 2n = 16 somatic chromosome number with three pairs of metacentric chromosomes and five pairs of submedian chromosomes. The analysis also revealed the present of one pair of nucleolar organizing region or satellite. Fluorochrome binding using chromomycin A3 (CMA) and 4-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) showed the presence of GC- and AT- rich heterochromatic region. Further analysis revealed the percentage of GC-rich was comparatively higher than AT-rich heterochromatic region. This is the first report on heterochromatin characterization in C. ternatea.
Exploring Experiences of Accounting Student Teachers with Digitally Mediated Learning: A Phenomenological Perspective
Authors: Mapuya Medson , Rambuda Awelani Melvin
Published: December 2021

Conducted against the backdrop of forced online learning imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this study sought to explore the learning experiences of accounting student teachers with digitally mediated learning. Anchored in phenomenological research design, focus group interviews were used to generate qualitative data from purposefully selected accounting student teachers while member checking was used for validation. Content analysis of data revealed sufficient concurrence in the phenomenological voices of students that they experienced anxiety, stress, isolation, demotivation and lack of contact with their classmates. In mitigation of these experiences, the study recommends that lecturers need to develop learning material with which students can interact meaningfully, and create and maintain a live, interactive virtual learning environment in which student learning is monitored and evaluated continuously. The students appreciated the flexibility of digitally mediated learning and its provision for real opportunities for learning beyond the physical learning environment. The study found that digitally mediated learning creates a platform for a creative, innovative and non-contact learning environment in the new educational dispensation of the COVID-19 pandemic era. It therefore calls for a radical paradigm shift in the pedagogical assumptions and practices of lecturers towards a student-centred virtual learning environment which thrives on digital technology.
