Authors: Skotnikov A. S. , Melnik M. V. , Zinina E. A. , Sivertseva I. V.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to a detailed analysis of the action of various drugs used in the treatment of hypertension and atherogenic dyslipidemia, depending on their ability to dissolve in fatty media (lipophilicity). The authors analyze connection between the lipophilicity level of drugs and their pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interactions, the manifestations of clinical effects and organ protection, as well as their ability to influence the prognosis of comorbid patients. Using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and statins as examples, the authors explain the practical significance of pharmacological parameters such as plasma protein binding and distribution volume, and also develop an un­derstanding of the importance of its routine use in order to obtain clinical bene­fits for patients.
El estudio de la cognición: hacia una perspectiva corporizada
Authors: Quirós Diego Alejandro Espinel , Rojas Ana Lorena Dominguez , Yáñez-Canal Jaime
Published: April 2024

Resumen El campo de la cognición ha tenido una larga historia en la que los modelos formales, el cuerpo y la interacción con el mundo físico y social han tenido significados y papeles variados. En los últimos años, las propuestas han intentado reintroducir el cuerpo y la variabilidad cognitiva resultante de la sensibilidad a contextos ricos e impredecibles. Este artículo presenta el enactivismo autopoiético, una de las versiones esenciales de las teorías encarnadas dentro de las ciencias cognitivas, señalando algunas limitaciones de las teorías clásicas de procesamiento de la información y sus nociones de representación. En este distanciamiento, las ciencias cognitivas han recuperado el cuerpo, la sensibilidad y flexibilidad de los procesos cognitivos, la naturaleza dinámica de la experiencia y el valor de los sistemas culturales que sustentan la actividad cognitiva.
Psicologia islâmica: uma perspectiva inclusiva de epistemologias religiosas no campo da psicologia da religião
Authors: Omais Sálua , Santos Manoel Antônio dos
Published: April 2024

Resumo O predomínio de teorias formuladas sob inspiração do estilo de vida ocidental no campo da psicologia acabou criando lacunas ao deixar de incluir especificidades de alguns grupos étnicos, religiosos e culturais. Esse cenário impulsionou vários movimentos recentes, que defendem uma psicologia culturalmente sensível que possa incluir as nuances e particularidades desses grupos. Inclui-se nesse contexto o Islã, uma religião que não se restringe somente às crenças, práticas e rituais religiosos, mas que engloba normas e preceitos que influenciam o estilo de vida do indivíduo. Este estudo tem como objetivo delinear uma reflexão teórica a respeito da psicologia islâmica, demarcando possibilidades e limites da integração de epistemologias religiosas como recurso potencial no campo da psicologia da religião. São abordados aspectos conceituais, origens históricas e fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos dessa nova abordagem, que vem ganhando cada vez mais espaço em instituições ao redor do mundo e no campo de pesquisa.
Psicología Social Comunitaria Latinoamericana: tradiciones críticas y epistemes emergentes
Authors: Navarrete Rodrigo
Published: April 2024

Resumen Este texto discute sobre la psicología social latinoamericana -originariamente conectada con tradiciones críticas de acción social (educación popular, ciencias sociales militantes, filosofía de la liberación)- y la recepción en dicho espacio de paradigmas emergentes vinculados al giro decolonial, las epistemologías del Sur y otras tendencias autonomistas y subalternistas para pensar los procesos de transformación social. Se revisa como dichos movimientos estarían desordenando y revitalizando una disciplina que, en su expresión hegemónica, se encontraba adormecida y cooptada por la institucionalización burocrática y la producción teórica neoliberal para leer e intervenir en el campo social. Para ello, se sitúa el desarrollo histórico de la disciplina en el clima teórico de tres momentos relevantes en la configuración del campo social. Se concluye con algunas observaciones sobre las posibilidades que asoman para pensar lo social-comunitario a la luz de estas epistemes emergentes, pero también algunos problemas/limitaciones a tener en consideración.
Keeping the “public machinery” running: notions of crisis and efficiency in the administration of waiting by the National Committee for Refugees (CONARE)
Authors: Ribeiro Jullyane Carvalho
Published: April 2024

Abstract Based on an investigation of the administration of refugees in the city of São Paulo between 2015 and 2019, this article discusses the administration of time and waiting by the National Committee for Refugees (CONARE), the state apparatus responsible for judging refugee requests addressed to the Brazilian government. I analyze different solutions implemented to respond to crises and keep the "public machinery" running "efficiently". I shine a light on administrative activities, and procedures for attending to asylum seekers and granting eligibility with which CONARE carried out its ordinary duties; referred and delegated; provided responses and justifications for delays in each stage of the processes; and resolved cases. These resolutions led to decisions but could also mean not deciding, postponing a particular process indefinitely.

Abstract Brycon orbignyanus exhibits seasonal reproduction where males can be distinguished from females by the roughness present in the anal fin of the specimens that represents a secondary sexual characteristic known as hooks. This study aimed to describe the appearance and morphology of hooks on the anal fin in B. orbignyanus and relate them to the phases of the reproductive cycle of these animals to determine a parameter that can be used for the selection of suitable males for use in induced reproduction. Monthly male specimens of B. orbignyanus of different ages were collected (n = 50 total; n = 10/month) and the specimens were euthanised, biometrically measured, and the testes and anal fins were collected. As sample were processed according to the typical techniques for light microscopy, stereomicroscope, diaphanization and scanning electron microscopy. Except for specimens in the testicular stage of Regenerating, hooks were observed in all other stages of the reproductive cycle in B. orbignyanus males; however, specimens that possess six or more rays with hooks are considered Spawning Capable and can be selected for breeding. No differences were observed in hooks development patterns as related to secondary sexual characteristics among intersex individuals, primary males, or secondary males.

Published: April 2024

Abstract The research addresses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning by pre-service mathematics teachers in Ukraine. The study aimed to provide theoretical justification, methodological development, and experimental verification of the application of ICT. It aimed to enhance the pre-service mathematics teachers’ professionally oriented English communicative competency (POECC) in ESP learning during wartime. The definition of POECC was based on a scientific literature analysis. The criteria for POECC were motivational, cognitive, operational, and creative, with three levels each (low, medium, and high). The authors developed and tested the use of virtual resources and digital tools in the process of learning ESP. They also provided examples of how ICT can be used in online English classes. The study evaluated the level of development of pre-service mathematics teachers’ POECC before and after experimental training, and analyzed the results of the training. The study confirmed the hypothesis that the development of pre-service mathematics teachers’ POECC level would increase during ESP online learning, even in wartime conditions, if virtual resources and digital tools were used in accordance with the developed educational technology.
Curadoria digital e decolonial de vídeos e podcasts na educação linguística em francês
Authors: Abreu Marcella dos Santos , Dias Lorrana Crystina da Costa , Oliveira Maria Eduarda de Sousa
Published: April 2024

Resumo Em percursos formativos com futuros/as professores/as de língua francesa, foi observado o apagamento da criticidade em planejamentos de sequências didáticas que envolvem a busca, seleção, análise, adaptação, organização e compartilhamento de materiais digitais ( Deschaine; Sharma, 2015 ). Tal problemática será discutida neste artigo, que visa explicitar limites e possibilidades nos processos de curadoria e criação de recursos técnico-pedagógicos para a educação linguística. Os resultados das análises até o momento realizadas apontam que as fontes às quais permanentemente recorrem aqueles estudantes na preparação de seus planos de aula (vídeos e podcasts instanciados em portais midiáticos e em plataformas de streaming ) podem inviabilizar o desenho didático ético, estético ( Rocha, 2019 ) e decolonial ( Veronelli; Daitch, 2021 ) de experiências de ensino-aprendizagem para a expansão de repertórios em línguas. Com o intuito de compreender o problema descrito, pretende-se, para além da discussão dos resultados parciais de duas pesquisas em andamento, apontar a necessidade de criarmos referenciais teórico-metodológicos que possam decolonizar a curadoria-autoria de materiais nesse campo, desde a formação de educadores/as à sua atuação em comunidades de aprendizagem.
The Sacred Whirlwind. The Poetic-Pentecostal Imagination of Carlos Nejar in Riopampa: o moinho das tribulações [Riopampa: The Mill of Tribulations]
Authors: Brizotti Alan
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT Religious discourse is multiple, challenging and inviting, especially when poetry and theological imagination find themselves expanding their boundaries. Carlos Nejar, poet member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, in his novel Riopampa: o moinho das tribulações provides us with a wide variety of images, symbols and experiences that can be attributed, among other characteristics, to his involvement with the Sacred from of Pentecostality, since Nejar is a Pentecostal pastor. In this article, we will reflect on the Sacred whirlpool, among other metaphors used by Nejar, to try to answer the question: why can Nejar’s imagination in the novel Riopampa: o moinho das tribulações, within the spectrum of religious discourse, be considered Pentecostal? To this end, we will use the theoretical contribution of Discourse Analysis, under the auspices of Bakhtin and his dialogism, in addition to concise documentary research using the aforementioned Nejarian novel as a basis.

Published: April 2024

RESUMO A relevância do trabalho deve-se ao interesse pela investigação cognitiva e discursiva e pelos aspectos linguístico-sinergéticos implementados no discurso artístico contemporâneo, incluindo o literário, à importância da realização de investigação sobre a categoria de futuralidade, a modalidade e o conceito de temporalidade em obras literárias. O objetivo deste artigo é examinar em pormenor todos os aspectos que influenciam a formação da mentalidade dos países anglófonos e do Cazaquistão: sociais, culturais, psicológicos e linguísticos, através de um estudo da categoria de futuralidade e modalidade no exemplo da prosa pós-modernista. A base metodológica foi teórica e comparativa, com elementos de análise conceitual, de enquadramento, funcional-semântico, estrutural e sinergética. Este artigo aborda as condições comunicativas de implementação, os mecanismos semânticos e cognitivos de formação de uma imagem conceitual do mundo no aspeto da futuralidade e a interação das categorias temporais com outros parâmetros do texto, recorrendo à linguosinergética. Fala-se da perceção pós-moderna da temporalidade e da visão do mundo dos povos inglês e cazaque. Foi efetuada uma análise comparativa das obras em termos de estado de espírito geral, temas, conceitos ideológicos e características estéticas. Foram compreendidos os métodos, os modos e as formas (léxico-gramaticais, estruturais e semânticas) de ativar a compreensão cognitiva e concetual de situações-chave do futuro e de significados modais.
Familiares de presos na segunda instância: acórdãos dos Tribunais de Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo
Authors: Ribeiro Ludmila , Duarte Thais Lemos , Martino Natália
Published: April 2024

Resumo A proposta deste texto é analisar as decisões proferidas em segunda instância que envolvem familiares de presos, com foco nos Tribunais de Justiça de Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. Foram coletados acórdãos publicados entre 1998 e 2021 nas três localidades, formando uma base de dados, escrutinada posteriormente numa perspectiva quantitativa. Foi possível notar que os processos judiciais têm dois focos principais: pedidos relacionados ao excesso de prazo da prisão provisória e pedidos relacionados às dificuldades na visitação em unidades prisionais. No primeiro ponto, fica clara a importância das famílias na busca de concretização dos direitos dos custodiados. As decisões dos três tribunais sobre a questão divergem substantivamente, sendo que o pleito só se efetiva em muitos casos no Rio de Janeiro. Já sobre o segundo ponto, tem-se um indicativo de como o aprisionamento ultrapassa a pessoa do preso para atingir seus entes queridos. Nesses casos, as decisões das três corte têm contribuído para a transformação, sobretudo, de familiares de presos, em especial mulheres, em criminosas, autorizando a vigilância constante de seus corpos, e dificultado a manutenção dos vínculos de afeto entre essas e seus entes presos.
The law of the oppressed: storytelling in (poetic) legal arguments
Authors: Penteado Taís
Published: April 2024

Abstract Storytelling as a method for knowledge production has long been introduced and adopted in legal settings, particularly by critical legal scholars. The contributions of the method have been acknowledged, but it has also been criticized. The present paper is interested in one criticism: the idea that the verifiability of personal stories is impossible and, hence, that storytelling-based legal arguments are unacceptable or weak. This paper does not offer one final answer to this criticism, but it provisionally suggests that, if storytelling-based legal arguments are analyzed in a holistic manner, we can see that even if the stories that, at their core, cannot be verified- or, in the limit, even if they are not true -the broader social claims that derive from them and that anchor the legal argument, can - and should.
THE IDEOLOGY OF BOLSONARO VOTERS
Authors: Kessler Gabriel , Miskolci Richard , Vommaro Gabriel
Published: April 2024

Abstract Studies on Bolsonaro voters, based mostly on survey data, have identified sociodemographic profiles and attitudes that define them by their negative identity and cultural conservatism. However, we do not yet know if Bolsonaro supporters have a common ideology—understood not as left-right positioning but as a set of worldviews that organizes these positions. This article identifies an ideology based on three components: first, a series of moral oppositions in relation to PT voters, namely, future-oriented vs. resistant to change; entrepreneurial ethos vs. state dependency. Second, a demand for revising the cultural agenda to grant their political side control of change. Finally, a critique of corruption and a general framing of shared worldviews. The data comes from research with focus groups conducted in 2021 in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Florianópolis, and Porto Alegre.
A “CRISE DO CUIDADO” E OS CUIDADOS NA CRISE: REFLETINDO A PARTIR DA EXPERIÊNCIA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Guimarães Nadya Araujo
Published: April 2024

Resumo O texto reflete sobre os diversos modos de significar as práticas do cuidar, explorando as especificidades que esses modos adquirem em nossa realidade. Com base em evidências retiradas do caso brasileiro, o texto documenta quão longa e diversa tem sido a chamada “crise do cuidado” e explora como essa organização social do cuidado foi desafiada pela pandemia, obrigando-nos, assim, a repensar a relação entre cuidado e crise. Conclui-se que, dada a especificidade da nossa organização social do cuidado, o diagnóstico de uma recente “crise do cuidado”, tal como cunhado na literatura sobre os países do norte, talvez mereça ser repensado, tomando em conta os desafios colocados por realidades nas quais a mercantilização do cuidado se deu num contexto de persistente familiarização e fraca externalização dessa atividade, sob condições de elevada desigualdade, pobreza extrema, e fragilidade das políticas estatais de bem-estar.
SOCIAL TRUST, INEQUALITY, AND STATE INSTITUTIONS IN BRAZIL
Authors: Reis Elisa P. , Lopez Felix Garcia
Published: April 2024

Abstract How does interpersonal trust relate to trust in public institutions, people’s willingness to contribute to redistributive actions, and the strong bonds of social cohesion in society? This article presents how Brazilians’ trust in others and in various state institutions has varied since the 1990s and how the interaction between interpersonal and institutional trust affects social cohesion. Also, we examine how widespread social perceptions of institutional corruption and different levels of inequality affect the levels of interpersonal social. Using the analytical concept of social responsibility, we argue strategies centered on the design and performance of public institutions contribute to breaking the vicious circle of lack of trust and its social costs. We used descriptive statistics and regression analysis based on data extracted from the Latinobarómetro World Values Survey as well as interview data with different social classes in Brazil.

Authors: Candido Ana Carolina Ferreira , Alencar Maria do Carmo Baracho de
Published: April 2024

Resumo Introdução O teletrabalho surgiu décadas antes da pandemia. Em 2020, porém, com a propagação do vírus da COVID-19, esse modo de trabalho foi implementado de forma rápida e mais ampla. A falta de um ambiente dedicado ao teletrabalho, contudo, pode promover riscos ergonômicos e consequentemente uma maior ocorrência de distúrbios osteomusculares. Objetivo Compreender os riscos de lesões por esforços repetitivos (LER) e distúrbios osteomusculares relacionadas ao trabalho (DORT) no teletrabalho a partir da percepção de servidores de uma universidade pública. Métodos Obteu-se uma listagem de servidores da Divisão de Gestão com Pessoas de um campus de uma universidade pública que estavam em teletrabalho (parcial ou total) e selecionaram-se sujeitos para a realização de entrevistas individuais, com base em roteiro elaborado. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas para análise temática de conteúdo. Resultados Participaram das entrevistas oito servidores, a maioria do sexo feminino, com idade entre 33 e 64 anos e de diversas categoriais profissionais. Nas entrevistas, surgiram inadequações ergonômicas, sintomas osteomusculares, utilização de estratégias individuais de prevenção, vantagens do teletrabalho, entre outros. Conclusão Ainda existem aspectos ergonômicos de risco para LER/DORT e, apesar das adaptações feitas ao longo da pandemia de COVID-19, ainda há necessidade de atender às necessidades de prevenção e melhorar a gestão de conhecimento para os trabalhadores.

Entre “centrado na pessoa” e “freestyle”: a abordagem do sofrimento mental comum em residências de medicina de família e comunidade
Authors: Castro Fábio Araujo Gomes de , Wenceslau Leandro David , Ferreira Débora Carvalho
Published: April 2024

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo qualitativo sobre a abordagem do sofrimento mental comum (SMC) em programas de residência de Medicina de Família e Comunidade de Minas Gerais. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 16 participantes de três programas de residência, entre março e maio de 2022. A interpretação dos dados seguiu os princípios da Análise Temática de Braun e Clarke. Para os participantes, o SMC é uma demanda frequente na Atenção Primária que deve ser abordada, principalmente com intervenções psicossociais. Contudo, os participantes reconhecem que não têm aplicado essas intervenções nos moldes recomendados pela literatura. Os entrevistados relatam conhecer diversas técnicas de intervenção, mas só sabem aplicar algumas, com destaque para os componentes do "método clínico centrado na pessoa". Esse fato contribui para despertar emoções negativas, como angústia e frustração, e aumentar o número de referenciamentos desnecessários para outros profissionais.

Este manuscrito problematiza a intersecção entre Atenção Básica e a Rede de Urgência e Emergência em uma região de saúde no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem micropolítica em três municípios com a participação de gestores regionais e municipais, usuários, gerentes e trabalhadores da rede de saúde. Buscou-se mapear as forças que disputam a produção do cuidado e a rede de atenção. A insuficiência e a fragmentação da rede; o envolvimento dos gestores públicos e trabalhadores, que pouco utilizam sua capacidade para intervir na produção do cuidado e interferir no arranjo atual; e a ação de mecanismos que articulam interesses privados ligando o cuidado em urgências ao saber especializado e ao hospital são forças que se movimentam em direção à não intersecção intencional e produtiva no território.

Role of the Tumor Microenvironment in Mediating Resistance to Anti-HER2 Antibodies
Authors: Gupta Manoj Kumar , Gouda Gayatri , Vadde Ramakrishna
Published: April 2024

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. Despite advancements in treatment strategies, many patients still develop challenging-to-treat metastatic disease. The development and progression of tumors are influenced by genetic/epigenetic changes within tumor cells and alterations in the tumor microenvironment (TME) through a dynamic communication. The TME comprises various elements, including immune, tumor, and stromal cells. Tumor cells at the core of the TME orchestrate complex signals that lead to tumor growth, survival, and resistance to treatment. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in a significant proportion of invasive breast cancers, influencing prognosis and prediction. Novel therapeutic approaches target HER2-positive breast cancers by leveraging HER2-targeted therapeuirtcs such as antibody-drug conjugates, monoclonal antibodies, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The TME in HER2-positive breast cancers also involves cancer-associated fibroblasts and cancer-associated adipocytes, which play critical roles in tumor progression and therapy resistance. The immune microenvironment also plays a significant role, with studies indicating its impact on outcomes in HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab, one of the first monoclonal antibodies targeting HER2, has shown promise in enhancing survival rates in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer. Integration of trastuzumab with chemotherapy has demonstrated significant enhancements in disease-free survival as well as overall survival rates during early breast cancer treatment. Trastuzumab functions by inhibiting HER2 signaling pathways, leading to cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis. Overall, understanding the complex interplay between HER2, the tumor microenvironment, and therapeutic interventions is essential for improving outcomes in HER2-positive BC.

To foster technological self-sufficiency in alignment with India’s “Make in India” program, it is imperative to introduce initiatives that stimulate critical thinking among Engineering students. While theoretical and practical knowledge are pivotal in shaping the quality of future engineers. However, hands-on experience through lab courses and a project remains a conventional approach. Nevertheless, an increase in the number of projects enhances the problem-solving capability. This can be further taken to the next level by introducing student-driven research as part of the Engineering curriculum. Within this context, student-driven research emerges as a dynamic avenue, presenting students with a distinctive chance to cultivate vital skills, expand their knowledge, and nurture their professional advancement. This paper introduces the concept of Researchfocused teaching and student publication as interconnected elements that can cultivate a culture of inquiry, innovation, and scholarly development among engineers. By merging these elements, educational institutions can nurture a generation of engineers proficient in research capabilities, contributing to technological advancement. The authors propose a comprehensive strategy for amplifying student-driven research through projects ensuring quality work leading to paper publication in standard conferences. The proposed approach introduces a novel team formation strategy, discusses evaluation rubrics, and explores potential graduate attributes attainment.

Abstract—This research presents an innovative approach encompassing the development, execution, and evaluation of an interactive learning technique known as Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning,(POGIL), merged with advanced technology, to enhance students' grasp of the intricate notions concerning sampling distributions of means and the Central Limit Theorem. Within this exercise, students engage in the act of drawing samples and embarking on an exploration of the diverse shapes exhibited by sampling distributions across varying sample sizes. To gauge the efficacy of this technologyinfused POGIL activity, a comparative analysis was performed. While one group received conventional lecturestyle instruction on the Central Limit Theorem, another cohort experienced an alternative approach combining student-driven active learning through POGIL with technology integration. The primary objective of this inquiry was to ascertain whether the activity-centered POGIL strategy, enriched with simulation-based methodologies, yielded heightened comprehension of the Central Limit Theorem among students. Upon meticulous statistical comparison of pre and post test performance between the two groups, it became evident that the amalgamation of guided inquiry learning and simulation significantly bolstered the experimental group's performance (at a significance level of p=0.05) in comparison to the control group. This enhancement was particularly pronounced in their grasp of concepts related to sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem, as manifested by the experimental group's substantially elevated mean achievement scores. Keywords—Active-Learning; Central Limit Theorem; POGIL; Sampling Distributions.

Abstract— Jigs and fixtures are essential tools for modern manufacturing and machining processes. They contribute to precision, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety in various industries, ultimately impacting the quality and competitiveness of products in the market. This course improves the visualization, imagination and drawing skill of the students which are helpful to them to draw their ideas clearly and rapidly, to read the drawing drawn by others and to create successful design. Manufacturing process course includes Jigs and fixture topic in this topic it is expected to imagine, visualize and develop the engineering drawing as per given requirements which includes orthographic projections in which imagining 3D objects are required to convert in 2D drawing. The students of second year mechanical engineering find this task difficult due to no prior basic knowledge, poor imagination and visualization skill. These skills are improved by experiential learning. Hence the attainment of the course learning outcome related to these topics is recorded low. To overcome this problem, a experiential learning approach implemented along with classroom teaching in order to enhance the, visualization, imagination and technical drawing skill of second year engineering students. In this article, the author has presented the efforts taken to improve the visualization, imagination and drawing skill through active engagement of students for learning in the classroom and outside of classroom. Due to systematic implementation of experiential learning, student’s engagement towards learning, attainment of the course outcomes (COs) and overall exam result of the course have been improved Keywords— Course Learning Outcome, Jigs and fixtures, Drawing, Experiential learning.

Abstract— Indian Higher Education is rapidly transforming with a national mission to improve quality and attain enhanced outcomes. Faculty is the bedrock of all institutional transformation initiatives. Faculty development has thus received significant attention from policy makers with several national initiatives in the offing. However, faculty support, engagement and true empowerment has not received the desired attention in a large majority of the institutions in the Indian Higher Education space. Apart from institutional commitment to building faculty engagement, an entire supporting ecosystem is required to create a culture of sustained performance leading to measurable outcomes. During the Covid-19 pandemic, online platforms for facilitating employee engagement gained traction across several industry verticals, a trend which has continued in the postpandemic world. We present a case study on implementing an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) at an educational institution in India for building faculty engagement. Initial results establish the effectiveness of Enterprise Social Networks for facilitating information flow, communication, sharing success stories and recognition, besides effectively chronicling events, activities, and achievements. We recommend adoption of such platforms, subject to some caveats. Keywords— Faculty Engagement; Higher Education; Social Networks.a

Abstract— Few key skills among many that are needed in the 21st century are critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, meta cognitive skills, technology literacy and decision making under uncertainty. With the emergence of ChatGPT and other Generative AI tools, there is a dire need for a distinctive way of learning and application of learning to ensure learning effectiveness. Mere content is no longer the most important factor to learn these skills but. what is needed is the ability to retrieve material learnt, in the context of application. For the learner to be able to apply the critical thinking levels and higher learning levels of Blooms taxonomy, the basic first level of remembering forms the basic foundation, particularly when the students are from first generation educated families or with disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. However, when students cram for the exams, they generally get an ‘illusion of learning’, where they think they know, but in reality often they may not be able to recall what they crammed when they need it later. This is a case of inefficient investment of time and effort in learning for the student. For the teacher, it slows down the teaching process and opportunity to engage in higher order thinking level applications. Addressing the frustrations of both teacher and students, the authors applied the concept of Retrieval method for MBA I year for Marketing Management course during a semester and a survey was conducted at the end of the semester to understand the perception of students on effectiveness of Retrieval techniques. The results supported that retrieval techniques were effective in supporting the student learning. Keywords— Blooms Taxonomy; Learning intervention; Retention technique; Retrieval Technique.

Los ejes de articulación de este monográfico en el número 153 de la revista Chasqui, abordan problemáticas cruciales, interrelacionadas, contemporáneas, en una perspectiva transformadora de los procesos comunicacionales, mediáticos y educativos. Cabe subrayar que los nexos históricos, epistemológicos y culturales entre esos tres ejes son profundos, interdependientes y necesarios para las estructuraciones tecnológicas, económico-políticas, científicas y socioculturales. De hecho, no es posible conocer, en profundidad y con la ineludible consistencia, el funcionamiento de las formaciones económico-sociales actuales si se excluye uno de esos ejes en las investigaciones, en los procesos educativos, y en la formulación de estrategias comunicacionales.
Estructura factorial exploratoria de la percepción de disponibilidad hídrica: análisis de las partes interesadas

A menudo, los problemas locales del agua se han abordado desde la perspectiva bottom up donde los actores sociales en relación con sus autoridades construyen una agenda pública, pero el objetivo de este documento ha sido estimar la percepción de riesgo de ambos gobernantes y gobernados en un escenario de escasez, desabasto, insalubridad y carestía del servicio de agua. Se trata del enfoque de los stakeholders o partes interesadas cuyas diferencia y semejanzas convergen en una gobernanza o acuerdo de corresponsabilidad. En tal sentido, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue explorar la estructura de factores relativos a la percepción de disponibilidad hídrica desde las partes involucradas. Se llevó a cabo una investigación no experimental con una selección de 248 residentes de una localidad del noreste de México. Se estableció la confiabilidad y validez del WRPS-16, que incluía dos dimensiones que explicaron el 39% de la varianza y fueron relacionadas con la aversión o delegación de responsabilidad al Estado por el suministro gratuito de agua y la dimensión propensa al riesgo para dar cuenta de la negociación y el acuerdo con los gobiernos locales. Sin embargo, el tipo de estudio, muestreo y análisis limitó los resultados al contexto de la investigación, lo que sugiere la inclusión del factor de hipermetropía que explica la falta de preocupación y la inacción de las generaciones futuras ante los eventos de riesgo y sus efectos en la comunidad.
