Discursos sobre garantía de calidad: una crítica de su papel en la construcción del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior
Authors: Posca Cohen Marcelo
Published: January 2024

El propósito de este texto es analizar el papel que el discurso sobre la garantía de calidad ha tenido en la edificación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES). Partiendo de la constatación de que el Proceso de Bolonia ha utilizado a la calidad para imponer un cierto número de reformas, el artículo explora, mediante el análisis de los discursos emergidos a lo largo de este proceso y del contenido de las políticas impulsadas por este, las dificultades que, en el marco de convergencia de los sistemas de educación superior europeos, es posible hallar en la noción de calidad educativa. Por un lado, nuestra investigación nos conduce a una serie de problemas ligados al peligro de la excesiva autonomía de las agencias de garantía de la calidad. Dicho problema es resultado de un cambio de modelo de Estado, impulsado por la racionalidad de gobierno neoliberal, y una nueva manera de entender la gestión pública (la Nueva Gestión Pública). Por otro lado, nuestro análisis explora la dificultad de saber en qué consiste efectivamente la noción de calidad educativa, algo que, como se verá con detenimiento, no está nada claro. En efecto, al ser un término polisémico y de difícil conceptualización, esta noción no puede ser más que una categoría intrínsecamente contestable, un término en permanente disputa y reconsideración.
El artículo concluye analizando cómo esta nueva “cultura de la calidad”, tan extendida en el área de Educación Superior Europea, ha ayudado a transformar tanto la concepción de la Universidad como las prácticas investigadoras del profesorado universitario. En tal sentido, nuestro análisis advierte que no existe criterio de calidad docente e investigadora posible sin una pauta que guíe el quehacer científico y teórico. Y que esa pauta es, en el actual escenario de la sociedad y las economías del conocimiento, una pauta básicamente económica.
La educación culturalmente receptiva: análisis educativo del tercer espacio
Authors: Llorente Villasante Ángel , Orozco Gómez Martha Lucía , Sanz Leal María
Published: January 2024

Ante sociedades cada vez más polarizadas, la evidencia muestra cómo los discursos de odio hacia lo diferente proliferan alarmantemente provocando mayores disparidades sociales. Esto influye frecuentemente en la inclusión social de jóvenes con influencias culturales diversas presentando la asimilación como primera opción sin adoptar una perspectiva crítica. El sistema educativo debe actuar en este sentido abordando la diversidad cultural en las aulas desde enfoques que permitan la formación del alumnado y posibiliten un aprendizaje significativo. La educación culturalmente receptiva (ECR) contribuye a una adecuada gestión de esa diversidad contando con variantes respecto a su conceptualización y desarrollo que merecen ser analizadas desde diferentes esferas educativas y sociales. En este artículo se utiliza un método de revisión crítica y análisis del discurso para observar la evolución de la ECR desde la figura del profesorado y alumnado. Pocos estudios han explorado el análisis del discurso de la ECR desde metodologías de fondos de conocimiento (FdC) con pedagogías dentro del aula en el papel del profesorado y fondos de identidad (FdI) del estudiantado. Por ello, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la dimensión pedagógica del profesorado dentro del aula desde FdC y desde la figura de los y las estudiantes y su aprendizaje se contemplan FdI. Desde este análisis se sugiere una reinterpretación educativa del tercer espacio que permite una contribución para el trabajo de la ECR en el aula. Por último, se señalan algunos desafíos de la ECR respecto a su terminología, implantación y futuras líneas de trabajo.
Política de los afectos y Pedagogía: hacia una educación post-género
Authors: Estrada Castro Luis Jaime
Published: January 2024

Cuestionar y transformar las relaciones de poder y dominación que se ejercen en torno al género dentro del ámbito educativo implica visibilizar y desnormalizar los pensamientos, prácticas y comportamientos violentos que se han sedimentado históricamente, al grado de parecer naturales e irrebatibles. Es por esto por lo que se propondrá, quizá como esbozo de un proyecto futuro, una educación post-género que recupere los afectos y emociones para la construcción de una pedagogía liberadora y transformadora: la comprensión de que somos seres relacionales -emocional y corporalmente- podría establecer las condiciones para acabar con las estructuras de dominación y violencia propias de la división binaria del género, particularmente en el ámbito educativo. La propuesta de una educación post-género vinculada con una pedagogía afectiva, abre la posibilidad a una visión crítica en torno a los sujetos, los cuales son entendidos aquí como singularidades sentipensantes y sentideseantes que ponen en relación, en el proceso pedagógico y educativo, el cuerpo, las emociones, los afectos y todo aquello que conforma el aula como mundo sensible, en donde las relaciones jerárquicas de dominación asociadas al género dejarían de ser determinantes en el proceso educativo. La recuperación y vinculación de corrientes del feminismo trans, queer, descolonial-decolonial y antirracista junto con algunas propuestas teóricas y filosóficas de la posmodernidad, permiten pensar más allá del sujeto racional, en aras de una pedagogía afectiva y una educación post-género. Desde esta perspectiva, este tipo de pedagogía sería políticamente queer y trans, en donde el género no sea una asignación obligatoria ni determinante en la educación, y, particularmente, en donde la posibilidad de fluir o ir más allá de éste sea algo posible e incluso potenciado en los contextos educativos.

Authors: Barbosa Ocampo Sergio Iván , María Varón Parra Mónica Silvana , Montoya Restrepo Luz Alexandra
Published: January 2024

El modelo de negocios es una herramienta conceptual que evidencia la estructura simplificada de una organización, permitiéndoles guiar la toma de decisiones y las acciones para la implementación de la estrategia. En la actualidad, los cambios en el entorno están provocando modificaciones en el modelo de negocios de organizaciones musicales que trabajan con música clásica, diluyendo las barreras entre las que son con fines lucrativos y las que son sin fines lucrativos, haciendo importante su identificación para su constante reestructuración. Este articulo aborda el modelo de negocios de seis organizaciones que realizan música clásica en la ciudad de Bogotá por medio de entrevistas semiestructurada a sus respectivos lideres. Los resultados permiten caracterizar el modelo de negocios teniendo en cuenta cómo la misión, la visión y la misión artística o enfoque artístico afectan la propuesta de valor, el valor operacional y la captura de valor.
Jam Session, Sociologia e História do Jazz: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Futre Pinheiro Ricardo Nuno
Published: January 2024

A cena do jazz em Nova Iorque é representada por uma complexa e abrangente rede de actores e de actividades que se desenvolvem em torno da performance musical, e a jam session actua enquanto importante elo de ligação entre vários agentes pertencentes a esta arena construída socialmente (Pinheiro, 2012; 2014). Contudo esta prática não tem sido objecto preferencial de estudo detalhado, o que se reflecte na escassez de bibliografia sobre o tema, nomeadamente fruto de investigação científica. Através deste texto irei discutir alguma da bibliografia mais relevante publicada em torno da jam session.

Combination of Alginate and Ginger Oil as Edible Coating Formulation for Reducing Pathogenic Bacteria in Litopenaeus vannamei
Authors: Amal Ikhlasul , Yudiati Ervia , Sedjati Sri , Ighwerb Mostafa Imhmed
Published: January 2024

Litopenaeus vannamei is a world trade commodity that has a high economic value but is easily degraded. To maintain the quality, post-harvest peeled shrimp needs to be coated. The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of adding edible coatings with a formulation of alginate and ginger oil combination as a natural preservative for shrimp. The research method used was laboratory experimental with a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments were additional peeled shrimp with different concentrations of alginate, i.e. 0 g, 1.5 g, and 3.0 g with two repetitions. The addition of 100 ml aquadest, 4 g CaCl2, 15 mL glycerol, and 1.5 mL of ginger oil was administered in every treatment. Total Plate Counts (TPC), Escherichia coli, and Vibrio cholerae were determined in initial condition, 3rd, and 6th days after the storage time in a 40C refrigerator.  The edible film test with 5 repetitions, including thickness, tensile strength, and break elongation. The results on TPC (5.00 x 105 CFU.g-1) and TPC of V. cholerae (Negative.25 g-1) show that all the treated shrimp meet the standard value (SNI 3457:2021) requirements. Most Probably Number of E. coli in alginate addition of 0 and 1.5 g i.e. <3 MPN.g-1 treatments, do not meet the requirements. The bacterial test and edible film mechanical properties showed that the addition of 3.0 g alginate was the most effective treatment compared to other treatments (α=0.05). A formulation of alginate and ginger oil combination is an effective edible coating for reducing the pathogenic bacteria of peeled shrimp L. vannamei.
Advanced Outfitting Techniques for Shipyard Development: A 2000 GT Shipbuilding Case Study
Authors: Pribadi Triwilaswandio Wuruk , Wahidi Sufian Imam , Aziz Muhammad Naufal
Published: January 2024

The shipbuilding sector is currently facing issues due to long manufacturing schedules and delays in ship construction completion. These challenges come from national shipyards' conventional onboard outfitting process for equipment installation, which takes a lengthy time to complete. To address this issue, this study proposes implementing the advanced outfitting system (AOS) approach, which combines the zone outfitting system with the hull block construction method, in building a 2000 GT ship at PT. X in Surabaya, Indonesia. Technical analysis is performed to plan the shipbuilding process using the hull block construction method, and the efficiency of man-hours is calculated by implementing the AOS approach. The study also conducts an analysis of shipbuilding costs and the required shipyard development investment. The technical analysis shows that the AOS approach improves efficiency factors by enhancing material handling and testing activities. The AOS method has an efficiency factor of 50% for on-unit outfitting and 62% for on-block outfitting, compared to on-board outfitting. The construction of a 2000 GT ship employing the AOS approach represents a reduction of approximately 9.6% in working days and a cost-saving of approximately 4.3% when compared to the onboard outfitting method, resulting in savings of IDR 1,933,277,000 or about USD 124,175. To implement the AOS approach, an investment of IDR 3,040,776,000 or about USD 195,310 is required for construction facilities and human resources development. The return on investment is obtained after two 2000 GT ships are completed. As a result, the AOS approach can improve shipbuilding productivity by reducing construction time and costs. This study provides insights into the benefits of implementing modern shipbuilding techniques in the industry.

Razširjenost dnevnih metuljev (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) na Goričkem (severovzhodna Slovenija)
Authors: Verovnik Rudi
Published: January 2024

Results of the fieldwork of the group for lepidopterology at Student Research Camp Šalovci 99’ and previous observations in year 1999 are presented. Altogether 75 species of butterflies were recorded on 29.5.1999 and between 22.7.1999 and 29.7.1999 from 60 localities including individual observations. Taking into account the published data 7 new species for Goričko were observed raising the number to total of 109 registered species. Apart from that findings of 2 species, previously listed without exact locality, were confirmed. Altogether 9 species included in the Atlas of endangered butterfly species of Slovenia were sighted. The vitality of population of Maculinea alcon Schiff have been estimated by egg counts. Some of the Slovenian endangered butterflies from families Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae are still common at Goričko, probably due to extensive land use. Most surprising were the findings of thermophylous species that occur mostly locally at Goričko. Because of species richness and last areas of continuos distribution of some highly endangered species in Slovenia, complete protection of Goričko is required.
A contribution to the knowledge of the butterfly fauna (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) of the Cerkljansko Idrijsko region, west Slovenia, with notes on their vertical distribution
Authors: Verovnik Rudi
Published: January 2024

Results of the fieldwork carried out by a lepidopterology group at the Student Research Camp Cerkno '00 are presented. Altogether, 77 butterfly species were recorded between June 26th and July 3rd 2000 at 38 localities, including individual observations. The most interesting discovery was the presence of Maculinea telejus Bergstr. in the Bača valley just south of the Julian Alps. Among typically alpine species, Aricia artaxerxes F. was recorded exclusively at lower altitudes, whereas its colline sister species A. agestis Schiff. was found near the top of Mt. Črna prst at an altitude around 1800 m. The highest diversity of butterfly species and habitat types was observed between 500 and 750 m. Despite the geographical heterogeneity, only few parts of the region have escaped intensive exploration and could be considered important habitats for the threatened butterfly species in Slovenia. The highest conservation value should be acknowledged to the presence of the relatively large and probably interconnected subpopulations of Maculinea arion L. in the eastern part of the region.

A new checklist of Slovenian leeches (Hirudinea: Euhirudinea): In memory of Boris Sket (1936–2023)
Authors: Trontelj Peter , Podkrajšek Patricija
Published: January 2024

The new (as of 2023) checklist of Slovenian leeches (Euhirudinea) contains 33 species, which represents a 44% increase since the last published inventory in 2003. Notable new entries include Placobdella costata found parasitizing on European pond turtles, the marine fish leech Trachelobdella lubrica from the Slovenian Adriatic coast, the semi-terrestrial Haemopis elegans, the terrestrial Xerobdella praealpina – making Slovenia possibly the only country with confirmed occurrence of all three European land leeches – and a new, still undescribed highly troglomorphic cave leech from a deep Dinaric cave. The number of freshwater fish leeches is underwhelmingly low: two. This, and several unresolved taxonomic questions in erpobdellids suggest that more faunistic and taxonomic work is needed and that the list of Slovenian leech species is far from concluded. The authors dedicate this contribution to their teacher, Prof. Boris Sket (1936–2023), a leading figure in biodiversity research in the Dinaric Karst, including leeches and cave life.

Authors: Umubyeyi Benoite , Babenko-Mould Yolanda , Hynie Michaela , Regan Sandra , Leipert Beverly
Published: January 2024

Objectives

To explore the values, practices, and behaviours that support nursing students’ professional development in practice-based learning environments in Rwanda.

Methods

A focused ethnographic approach was used. Nursing students (n=12), nurses (n=11), clinical instructors (n=7) and nurse leaders (n=8) from three teaching hospitals and an educational program participated in the study. Data was collected trough individual interviews and participant observation.

Results

Participants embraced a culture of preparing nursing students for their professional roles as a professional responsibility, and a means of securing the nursing profession. Modeling the appropriate behaviours to students and respecting them as learners and humans constituted the caring attributes that sustain a positive learning environment for their professional growth.

Conclusions

Nurturing and caring environments offer students opportunities to integrate caring attitudes into their interactions with patients and to develop professionally.

Implications for international audience

Findings underscore the need to enhance caring values within nursing curricula.
Discourse markers as the locus of signaling the main-event line in Alsea narratives
Authors: Shirtz Shahar
Published: January 2024

This article argues that in Alsea ([aes]; Penutian/isolate; dormant; Oregon Coast) the main event line (mel) of narratives is reliably signaled by a particular combination of clause-initial particles, functioning as discourse markers, and not by a specific set of verb forms, the means usually identified and discussed in the literature as a cue for the mel status of a clause. The strength of the link between this combination of discourse markers and the mel, then, represents a cross-linguistic situation that seems rare. Alsea has a rich system of discourse markers and a rich system of verbal affixes, with over 20 potentially co-occurring markers in each. The relative wealth of these discourse markers and their potential combinations make an intricate system of signaling the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic relationship between clauses and their immediate environment, essentially signaling their discourse status. One combination of markers has the function of signaling the mel. Alsea verbal affixes, on the other hand, play a major role in event semantics and aspectual construal, but a minor one in discourse structuring. This allows for seemingly paradoxical uses of irrealis or imperfective verb forms on the mel of narratives, where the later coerces the event into specific types of bounded and realis readings.
Tightly focused optical skyrmions and merons formed by electric-field vectors with prescribed characteristics
Authors: Zeng Yongxi , Yu Yanzhong , Shen Xi , Chen Jian , Zhan Qiwen
Published: January 2024

Optical skyrmions, which are topological quasi-particles with nontrivial electromagnetic textures, have garnered escalating research interest recently for their potential in diverse applications. In this paper, we present a method for generating tightly focused optical skyrmion and meron topologies formed by electric-field vectors under 4π-focusing system, where both the topology types (including Néel-, Bloch-, intermediate- and anti-skyrmion/meron) and the normal direction of the two-dimensional topology projection plane can be tailored at will. By utilizing time-reversal techniques, we analytically derive the radiation pattern of a multiple concentric-ring array of dipoles (MCAD) to obtain the required illumination fields on the pupil planes of the two high numerical aperture lenses. The Deby vector diffraction integral theory is employed to calculate the corresponding tightly focused field, and their topology characteristics are quantitatively evaluated by the electric-field vector distribution. The results demonstrate that arbitrary electric-field based skyrmion and meron can be conveniently generated by adjusting the oscillation direction of each dipole in the MCAD and the normal direction of the dipole array. The generated optical topologies with fully controllable degrees of freedom provide potential applications in optical information processing, transmission, and storage.
La aparición del pueblo palestino: De Campo David a la Primera Intifada, 1978- 1987
Authors: Cruz Azamar Omar
Published: January 2024

El artículo presenta el camino que transitaron los palestinos desde el primer acuerdo diplomático llamado Campo David de 1978 hasta el movimiento social de la Intifada de 1987. Se hace énfasis en el olvido que sufrieron los palestinos por parte de Egipto, Israel y Estados Unidos al momento de llevar a cabo dichos acuerdos y cómo esta situación trastocó a la sociedad israelí y radicalizó a la población palestina tanto a la refugiada como aquella que estaba en los territorios ocupados. Dicha condición diseñó la hoja ruta para la aparición de los palestinos en futuras negociaciones. Esta reconstrucción se realizó a partir de los acuerdos y resoluciones que diferentes entidades han firmado con la intención de terminar con el conflicto.

Psichologinė religinių jausmų svarba Williamo Jameso požiūriu
Authors: Ramonas Arvydas
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes the theme of the psychology of religion by the American psychologist William James. It is treated in the context of the works of other pioneers of psychological science at that time. James saw positive sides in religiosity/faith: it is a stimulating factor in life, an integrating aspect of human maturation and even a fundamental factor in human spiritual hygiene. Without religion, it is difficult to achieve the meaning of life, and empirical science, in his opinion, was increasingly eroding the foundations of religion. Therefore, in search of a way out, he tried to create the so-called optimistic philosophy. James explained that a psychologist can be just as objectively interested in religious phenomena as in other everyday psychological matters. Psychology can study theological phenomena, but there is one limitation – psychological research is limited to the area of human feelings and will, which means that it does not study doctrinal questions of the Church institution. The sanctity provided by faith helps a person to gain psychological balance, opens new horizons of life, broadens horizons and gives hope for eternity.
The CircHAS2/RPL23/MMP9 Axis Facilitates Brain Tumor Metastasis
Authors: Fu Qiang , Yang Haojie , Huang Jingxuan , Liu Fan , Fu Yanni , Saw Phei Er , Wang Yongxin
Published: January 2024

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) regulate tumor development by interacting with microRNAs. However, limited research has been conducted on the roles of circRNAs in gliomas. Therefore, we sought to demonstrate the function and molecular mechanism of circHAS2 in gliomas.

Methods: CircHAS2, hsa-miR-508-3p, RPL23, and MMP9 mRNA levels were assessed with qRT-PCR. RPL23 and MMP9 protein levels were determined with western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Glioma cell migration and invasion were assessed with Transwell assays. The interaction between hsa-miR-508-3p and circHAS2 or RPL23 was predicted with RNAhybrid and miRanda, and confirmed through luciferase reporter assays. The effects of circHAS2 on glioma cells were demonstrated in a nude mouse orthotopic xenograft glioma model.

Results: We computationally analyzed the differentially expressed circRNAs in glioma tissues by using the GEO database. The screening indicated that circHAS2 was located primarily in the cytoplasm. Functionally, silencing of circHAS2 inhibited glioma migration and invasion. Mechanically, hsa-miR-508-3p was identified as a downstream target of circHAS2. CircHAS2 was found to regulate RPL23 and influence MMP9 via hsa-miR-508-3p, thereby promoting glioma migration and invasion. Moreover, inhibition of circHAS2 impeded the progression of U87 glioma cells in vivo.

Conclusion: CircHAS2 regulates RPL23 and subsequent MMP9 expression by sponging hsa-miR508-3p in glioma cells.

Terraced landscapes are important to the cultural and environmental characteristics of many regions worldwide. Accurate and comprehensive documentation of these landscapes is challenging, especially when inventorying dry-stone walled terraced landscapes and abandoned agricultural terraces. Even inventory methods based on LIDAR and fieldwork do not capture all of the mapped information. To address this challenge, the study proposed the inclusion of additional data sources into the inventory process, specifically aerial photographs from drones and photographs taken with advanced GPS devices. The combination of already-tested methods and other data sources enabled a more comprehensive and accurate inventory process. The improved methodology was tested in three cadastral municipalities of the Vipava Valley (Črniče, Gojače and Vrtovin), where the terraces have predominantly dry-stone risers with different heights. A large percentage of the terraced landscape in the selected cadastral municipalities is abandoned, so the terraced structures are overgrown by vegetation and forest; in Gojače, almost half of the terraced landscape is like this. In some places, the terraced landscape has become almost completely unrecognizable. With an improved inventory methodology, both active and abandoned agricultural terraces can be mapped.
