One form of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education is to do community service. Community service activities are carried out with the aim of being able to provide benefits and positive impacts for the community, both short term and long term. On this occasion, our group of 7 Perbanas Institute lecturer teams collaborated with students to carry out community service activities at the Mizan Amanah Tebet orphanage, South Jakarta. The activities carried out are providing education, socializing about the benefits and impacts of using the internet for children in learning, as well as preparing health protocols for face-to-face learning. On this occasion we also provided compensation for the students at the Mizan Amanah Orphanage, Tebet Jakarta. We hope that this community service activity will have a positive impact on students in applying the use of the internet and how they can equip themselves to take part in face-to-face learning during this pandemic.

BR DO MAR: HAVERÁ O (RE) EQUILÍBRIO DA MATRIZ DE TRANSPORTE BRASILEIRA?
Authors: Rohm Helber
Published: June 2022

Em meados de 1930, a cabotagem era um dos principais meios de transporte de mercadorias no Brasil. Após a abertura de mercado e o incentivo à construção de rodovias no País, a matriz de transporte brasileira se viu marcada pela preponderância do modal rodoviário em detrimento dos demais, o que ficou marcado no inconsciente coletivo.  Após a greve dos caminhoneiros, autoridades públicas e os principais representantes do setor logístico se viram obrigados a buscar alternativas para o transporte de cargas – redescobrindo a cabotagem. Após o lançamento do Programa BR do Mar, como medida de estímulo ao transporte de cabotagem, o presente artigo pretende analisar se o projeto de lei se mostra como instrumento efetivo para aumentar a participação da cabotagem e equilibrar a matriz de transporte ao nível de importância que um dia a cabotagem alcançou histórica, social e economicamente.

Ao percorrer seus 4 eixos temáticos, o presente artigo pretende percorrer seus pontos fortes, fracos e, ainda, aqueles que, embora suscitados por órgãos de controle e entidades do setor, não foram enfrentados pela medida legislativa. Por fim, o presente artigo pretende demonstrar que a medida legislativa é capaz de estimular a cabotagem a curto prazo, todavia insuficiente para (re)equilibrar a matriz de transporte a longo prazo, diferentemente do que fora amplamente divulgado pelo Governo Federal.
DA (IN)APLICABILIDADE DO CÓDIGO DE DEFESA DO CONSUMIDOR NOS TRANSPORTES MARÍTIMOS DE CARGAS
Authors: Bonetti Diego
Published: June 2022

O Código Comercial (Lei n. 556, de 25 de junho de 1850) foi o primeiro diploma a regular o transporte no Direito Brasileiro, dispondo notadamente sobre o transporte marítimo. Por tempos o transporte foi regulado de forma superficial e casuística no ordenamento pátrio, mediante sucessivos decretos governamentais que tratavam mormente do transporte ferroviário. O Código Civil de 1916 não disciplinou a matéria, visto que o transporte era tido como contrato essencialmente mercantil. O Código Civil de 2002, pois, foi o primeiro diploma legal brasileiro a regular sistematicamente o contrato típico de transporte, estabelecendo princípios gerais e um regramento em consonância com a prática consolidada na doutrina e na jurisprudência. Alguns desafios exegéticos ainda subsistem para os juristas, em especial no tocante à responsabilidade civil do transportador. No tocante aos contratos de transporte marítimo de mercadorias, releva ainda discutir sobre a (in)aplicabilidade das normas de defesa do consumidor para fins de responsabilização do transportador. Tal questão envolve relevantes interesses conflitantes, tendo em vista que a aplicação da Lei Consumerista implica diversos reflexos mais favoráveis aos contratantes do serviço de transporte e, consequentemente, desvantajosos aos transportadores. A grande complexidade do sistema consumerista, que toca diretamente a problemática aqui retratada, diz respeito à definição do conceito de consumidor e, sobretudo, refere-se à exegese da expressão “destinatário final” constante do texto do art. 2º do Código de Defesa do Consumidor.
Applying the Concepts of ‘Stigma’ and ‘Dehumanization’ to the Study of Inequalities
Authors: Misi Andre
Published: June 2022

Inequalities are complex and multifaceted social phenomena that must be scrutinised and tackled with all the theoretical (and practical) resources at our disposal. This piece departs from the assumption that it is important to broaden the scope ofresearch about inequalities and go beyond the most common approaches to the topic, such as studies which focus on the structures that produce and perpetuate inequalities. In the contemporary world there are a variety of types of inequalities based on identities related not only to social class, but also to gender, religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and so on. I will argue that, by focusing on the individual, the concept of “stigma”, as introduced by Erving Goffman, alongside the mechanisms of “dehumanization” and “infrahumanization”, as currently studied in the fields of neurosciences and social psychology, may contribute to a better understanding of patterns of reproduction and reinforcement of inequalities in contemporary societies. They are also useful for devising strategies to rehumanize those that live at the margins of society. In fact, it is part of the research agenda of social psychologists and neuroscientists that have been studying processes of dehumanization and infrahumanization to conceive measures that could contribute to abolish (or at least reduce) the proclivity ofcertain perpetrators to dehumanize other human beings. I will finally argue that the branches ofsocial sciences that most commonly study inequalities at a macro level (economics and sociology) or a microlevel (anthropology) would greatly benefit from coming into closer contact with the research on dehumanization and infrahumanization being undertaken in the fields of social psychology and neurosciences, and vice-versa.
Maternity Benefit Amendment Act (2017): A ‘Humble Gift’ Causing Motherhood Penalty in India
Authors: Singla Ananya
Published: June 2022

The twin goals of addressing gender inequality and improving child development has manifested itself in the proliferation of maternity leave policies across the world. While maternity leave has become a standard entitlement in several countries, variations exist in policy design and their gendered outcomes, suggesting that policies are influenced by factors such as cultural and social norms. In 2017, the Government of India enacted the Maternity Benefit Amendment Act to extend paid maternity leave from 12 to 26 weeks and to provide other non-monetary child benefits. The Government described it as a ‘humble gift’ to women, a day after the world celebrated International Women’s Day. While it has been recognised on some levels that certain policies entrench gender inequality, an area that remains unexplored is how enduring assumptions rooted in the traditional gendered division of domestic and non-domestic labour have underpinned maternity support, particularly in the context of the Global South. This piece intends to engage with this gap by exploring how maternity policy was created in India and how the Government has conceptualised gender. Challenges include the narrow construction of women and family, the limited coverage of the policy to biological mothers and formal workers, and the impact of employers’ economic decisions such as discriminatory recruiting practices against women in response to higher leave costs.

Published: June 2022

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) has been found beneficial for the prevention and treatment of various chronic non-communicable diseases; however, adherence to MD is declining, especially in the Mediterranean countries. Croatia is characteristic for having both traditionally continental and Mediterranean regions, with distinct dietary features. The aim of this study was to compare difference in adherence to MD and overall dietary intake between children and adolescents from continental and Mediterranean part of Croatia. Participants were randomly recruited children and adolescents (n=838, mean age 9.96 ± 2.09 years) located in continental and Mediterranean parts of Croatia. Three different questionnaires were distributed and collected: general questionnaire (age and gender), the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and adolescents (KIDMED) and 3-day food records (3DFR). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 260 (IBM Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, USA) statistical software. P values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Overall, low adherence to MD was evident in 23.1% of participants, while only 15.8% of children and adolescents had good compliance with MD. A significant difference in KIDMED score has been found between the continental (mean score 4.91 ± 2.33) and Mediterranean (mean score 5.57 ± 2.12) part of Croatia (p<0.001), as well as in the intake of energy and some nutrients. Moreover, participants from the Mediterranean part of Croatia had better compliance with D-A-CH recommendations for some nutrients compared to those from the continental part. Although children and adolescents from the Mediterranean part of Croatia had better adherence to MD than those from the continental part, overall, relatively poor adherence to MD was evident for both regions. Therefore, a healthy, balanced diet should be encouraged in both regions, preferably taking into account traditionally consumed and locally available foods.
Differences in the Liking of Sweet Tastes of Different Sources (Natural and Artificial) among Older Adolescents in Slovenia
Authors: Vulić Gordana
Published: June 2022

The aim of this research paper is to investigate the recognition and liking of sweet tastes among older adolescents (19–21 years), and in doing so determine whether any differences exist in the liking of sweet tastes with respect to their differing sources (i.e. either of natural or artificial origin). With this aim in mind, data was obtained from sensory testing performed on a total of 101 participants between 19 and 21 years of age, of whom 60 were female and 41 male. Recognition of the basic tastes (i.e. sweet, salty, sour and bitter) was found to be good among most respondents and its success unrelated to gender. Furthermore, participants were found to demonstrate no difficulties with respect to the correct ordering of solutions of different intensities of sweetness (or, rather, of different concentrations of sucrose in water), regardless of gender. The most liked concentration among both men and women was 4.3%. Also established were differences in the liking of sweet tastes of different sources (i.e. natural and artificial). Participants were offered the most generally liked solution of sucrose in water (4.3%) as well as a number of table-top sweeteners prepared, in accordance with their packaging instructions, to be of comparable gustatory sweetness to the sucrose solution. In this endeavour, the selection of solutes was informed by the availability of table-top sweeteners among the five largest commercial producers, and involved those commercially sold under the names stevia, birch sugar, liquid sweetener (Na cyclamate, Na saccharin, thaumatin), sucralose, erythrol, fructose, Streusüße (sorbitol and saccharin). It was found that the most liked sweet tastes were those of sucrose and sucralose, while the taste of fructose was in third place albeit statistically significantly less liked than the tastes of sucrose and sucralose. Although the results of average values indicate that all kinds of sweet tastes are moderately liked, the liking of stevia and erythrol was found to be statistically significantly lower than the liking of sucrose and sucralose. From this, we conclude that artificial sweeteners are gaining in likeability, but even so, of the three most generally liked sources of sweet taste, two are natural sugars.

Published: June 2022

Long-Range (LoRa) transmission technology is potentially a suitable solution in abundant applications such as smart cities, smart industries, smart health, and others, although it is challenging and complex to implement. LoRa is a non-cellular modulation technology for Long-Range Wide-Area Networks (LoRaWAN) and is suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) solutions through its long-range and low-power consumption characteristics. The present paper provides a comprehensive analysis of LoRa wireless transactions through several measurements, which differ in LoRa parameter configuration. The results showed dependency of the power consumed by the transaction on the selected Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP). The quantity of energy consumed by the transaction also significantly depends on the selected data rate (combination of the spread factor and bandwidth) and payload.
Kirche, Religion und Engagement in der Zivilgesellschaft
Authors: Sinnemann Maria
Published: June 2022

The fifth ‘Freiwilligensurvey’ provides information about 20 years of civic engagement in Germany. In addition, it sets new content priorities with questions on both political culture and the field of refugees and migration. In this book, special analyses by the ‘Sozialwissenschaftliches Institut der EKD’ examine questions on the field of sociology of religion. They differentiate between Christian, Islamic and Christian Orthodox communities and deal intensively with the area of voluntary work in churches and religious communities. In addition to common ground, such as motivations for volunteering, it becomes clear that not all social groups have similar opportunities to access and participate in civil society.

Zeitungsqualität und Markenimage
Authors: Kramer Irene
Published: June 2022

How are the most widely read German daily newspapers evaluated by their audience? This dissertation uses theoretical and empirical analyses to examine how the construct of newspaper quality is influenced by determinants such as image and media usage in the ten Sinus milieus. For this purpose, the author examines quality from the audience's point of view by means of two quantitative online surveys. Her results show that the daily newspaper brands studied tend to be rated positively by their readers in terms of both perceived quality and brand image, especially in the case of printed dailies. The quality assessment from the audience's perspective is also influenced in particular by the daily newspapers’ brand image.
Der Überseekauf im modernen Transportwesen unter den INCOTERMS 2020
Authors: Pirrong Niclas
Published: June 2022

In view of the ever-increasing globalization of trade in goods, the overseas sale of goods is becoming more important than ever in commercial practice. On the basis of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and German maritime freight law, this work presents the legal transactions that are characteristic for overseas purchases and at the same time examines the influence of INCOTERMS 2020 on the contractual network of overseas purchases. Thereby, it becomes apparent for the "modern" container sea transport that the clauses declared applicable do not take into account the interests of the parties to the purchase contract in a balanced manner. The author therefore formulates a proposal for the revision of INCOTERMS 2030 in order to give greater weight to the underrepresented interests of the buyer.
Der Sachverständigenbeweis
Authors: Wedde Andreas
Published: June 2022

The work provides solutions for accelerating expert evidence that have been reviewed in discussions with German practitioners and that result from the "best practices" of international legal systems.

Expert evidence is one of the main factors for lengthy civil proceedings. Previous reform efforts have always resulted in changes to the law mainly to the detriment of the experts. Therefore, in this work, specific recommendations for action and improvement are made nationally, with the support of an empirical survey of persons in the relevant professional groups involved in civil litigation, and internationally, through comparison with faster legal systems.

Assessment of Antibacterial Effects of Chlorhexidine and Two Herbal Irrigants on Disinfecting Primary Tooth Root Canals Using Central Composite Design
Authors: Jafari Ahmad , Baradaran Nakhjavani Farid , Mazaheri Nejadfard Ramin , Javdani Golshid , Nikkah Nikki , Taher Abbas , Bakhtiari Ronak
Published: June 2022

Background: Primary endodontic infections are caused by necrotic colonization of the pulp tissues by microorganisms. The success of endodontic treatment depends on complete debridement and disinfection of the root canal space. Maximum antibacterial effects, maximum dissolving effects on necrotic tissues, and minimum toxic effects on the periapical tissues are essential characteristics of ideal root-canal irrigants. Recently, researchers have become further interested in medicinal plants as herbal medicines due to their good antimicrobial activities and natural origins. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the antimicrobial properties of chlorhexidine solution alone and mixed with two herbal solutions in root dentine and optimize factors affecting the disinfection of primary tooth root canals. Methods: Teeth infected with pure Enterococcus faecalis suspensions were treated with chlorhexidine solution alone and mixed with chamomile and Satureja khuzestanica. After selecting the most efficient solution, factors possibly affecting the disinfection process were optimized using a central composite design. These factors were the CHX concentration, chamomile concentration, and contact time. Results: The microbial colony count showed that the minimum colony count belonged to 1% chamomile essence and 1% CHX solution, while the maximum colony count belonged to 1% S. khuzestanica and 1% CHX solution, with significant differences. In the optimization process, the best chlorhexidine concentration, chamomile concentration, and contact time were 1.13%, 1.39%, and 11.33 min, respectively. Conclusions: A combination of chlorhexidine and chamomile provided protection against oral microbial pathogens for endodontic infections. However, further comprehensive in vivo studies seem necessary.

Published: June 2022

Background: Upper limb function can be correlated with the self-assessment of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the correlation between fine motor skills and occupational self-assessment in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methods: Fifty patients aged 8 - 13 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, who had 1 of 3 levels (I to III) of hand skills based on the manual ability classification system (MACS), were selected. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) Questionnaire for the motor skills and Child Occupational Self-assessment (COSA) Questionnaire were given to participants. The Spearman correlation coefficient at a significance level of 0.05 was used to determine the relationship between the variables. Results: The mean and SD of occupational self-assessment and its subscales (i.e., occupational value and competence) at different levels of hand dysfunction (I - III) were 115.68 ± 14.04, 54.70 ± 8.83, and 60.98 ± 5.69, respectively. The mean and SD of fine motor skills and its subscales (i.e., visual-motor control, response speed, and upper-limb speed) and dexterity at different levels of hand dysfunction were 70.44 ± 14.76, 4.04 ± 2.44, 33.70 ± 6.19, and 32.70 ± 7.07, respectively. The spearman correlation showed a significant relationship between fine motor skills of hand and its subscales with occupational self-assessment and its subscales (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The findings showed that to improve occupational self-assessment of cerebral palsy children, special attention should be paid to progress the function of the upper extremity through occupational therapy interventions. It can lead to improved quality of life, strong sense of self-efficacy, and greater independence.
The transnational study of Italian culture and the ghosts of empire
Authors: Burdett Charles
Published: June 2022

The article begins by looking at developments within Modern Languages and reflects upon the importance of the move towards the consideration of cultural and social phenomena in transnational perspective. It suggests how the �transnational turn� can be interpreted within the disciplinary field and, in this context, refers to the work of the large project �Transnationalizing Modern Languages� (2014�2018), part of the AHRC�s Translating Cultures research theme. The article looks at how a transnational approach can advance the move to decolonise research and teaching in the subject area and at how it promotes understanding of the proximity of the colonial world. Drawing upon the example of creative writing on the expansionist phase of Italy�s history, the article explores how the ongoing legacies of colonialism can be addressed within an approach that is centred on the traces of past instances of mobility and displacement. It concludes by pointing to the need for the transmedial study of the ghosts of the Italian empire.
Anaesthetic efficacy of intraoral topical lidocaine and prilocaine in nanostrusctured lipid nanocarriers: a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Pestana Aylla Mesquita , Lucas Ana Luiza Martins , Augusto Gabriela Gama Xavier , Ribeiro Lígia Nunes de Morais , Costa Yuri Martins , Franz-Montan Michelle
Published: June 2022

This randomized placebo-controlled crossover trial evaluated if nanostructured lipid nanocarriers (NLC) could improve the topical anaesthetic efficacy of lidocaine and prilocaine (L+P) incorporated in a xanthan-hydrogel applied in the oral cavity. There were no differences among topical formulations regarding the primary endpoints of pain intensity during needle insertion or local anaesthetic injection. Nonetheless, exploratory analyses indicate that individuals with low mechanical pain sensitivity were more susceptible to placebo effects which could also interfere with the anaesthetic effects of the topical formulations. Thus, mechanical pain sensitivity can be an interesting approach to increase assay sensitivity in clinical trials of topical anaesthesia.
GEOECONOMIC RISKS FACED BY THE RUSSIAN BALTIC REGION AMID A DETERIORATING GEOPOLITICAL SITUATION
Authors: Lachininskii Stanislav S.
Published: June 2022

This article is a conceptual theoretical-empirical study of the geopolitical risks the Baltic Russian regions have faced amid the deteriorating geopolitical situation observed since 2014. The Baltic Russian regions are in a vulnerable position because of their geographical vicinity to EU countries, with which they share common borders, and the dramatically worsening military and political situation. To analyse geoeconomic risks, the author employed an earlier proposed methodology, which has been tested in Russia and abroad. Four types of geoeconomic risks are examined: spatial, economic, socio-demographic, national geopolitical and regional geopolitical. Overall, five levels of geopolitical risks can be distinguished. The contribution sets out to provide a conceptual picture of the geoeconomic risks which the Baltic Russian territories — St Petersburg, the Republic of Karelia and the Leningrad, Kaliningrad, Novgorod, Pskov and Murmansk regions faced in 2014—2021 as the geopolitical situation changed for the worse in the wake of the Ukraine political crisis (2013—2014). The objectives of the study included selecting economic, social and international trade indicators and analytics matching each type of the geoeconomic risks. To identify the geo-economic risks of the selected regions, three basic indicators are considered — population, GRP, foreign trade turnover, and changes in other indicators for 2014—2021 were tracked. Eighteen risks divided into four types were explored for the Baltic Russian regions. The geoeconomic risks were grouped into two categories: spatial/geopolitical and economic/socio-demographic. A preliminary assessment of the regional risks was obtained using a methodology proposed by the author. The risks in the spatial/geopolitical category are substantial for the Kaliningrad region, whilst the Pskov region and Karelia proved to be most susceptible to the economic/socio-demographic risks.
INTERNATIONAL POSITIONING OF THE REGION: THE IMAGE OF THE KALININGRAD REGION IN THE MEDIA SPACE OF THE BALTIC STATES
Authors: Tarasov Ilya N. , Urazbaev Evgeny Е.
Published: June 2022

The issue of international positioning is crucial to all exclaves, and the Kaliningrad region surrounded by the Baltic region countries is no exception. This contribution aims to describe a general strategic path for positioning the Russian territory in question. To produce recommendations on a positioning concept, it looks at the ties between the Kaliningrad region and the neighbouring Baltic States and how the former is perceived by the latter. Publication monitoring and media content analysis were carried out to explore the image created in the Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian media in recent years. Avenues for positioning are proposed in line with the principles of place branding, and the interests common to the region and the Baltic States are considered through the lens of international cooperation projects. The emphasis is on the prospects for trade relations development. The main advantages of the region are identified, and the risks to be reckoned with when forming a positioning concept are determined. The findings suggest that strategic positioning is feasible in the case of the Kaliningrad region; its focal points may be investment, logistics, tourism and infrastructure. The authors also stress the possibility for developing international cooperation platforms and indicate regional problems of international concern.
DEVELOPMENT OF MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS IN SAINT PETERSBURG OVER THE LAST DECADE: AN ECONOMIC AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Smirnov Oleg O.
Published: June 2022

The article analyses economic and spatial indicators to produce a typology of the economic development levels of St Petersburg municipal districts. To normalise the city’s development, it is vital to understand which territories have contributed more to the process and which have inhibited it. It is also essential to analyse the principal economic indicators of each municipal district and assess transport accessibility, street activity and transit. The study demonstrates the connection between the economy and space, which gives the answer to the question about the causes of economic growth. An economic analysis of the districts is carried out by ranking ten leading indicators obtained from the municipal databases and geoinformation services, whilst a spatial analysis is performed based on testing the Space Syntax methodology. The study made it possible to describe the city’s spatial development, improve the methodology and provide recommendations for municipal administrators. The findings will enhance strategic urban planning in St Petersburg.
Caliphate women limbo and the action of the European Union
Authors: Jiménez Sánchez
Published: June 2022

Thousands of European women moved to the so-called Caliphate in Syria and Iraq over the past decade. Today, they are in legal limbo, waiting for a response at the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) detention camps in various zones. They took part in Daesh's functioning, responding to the gender role the organisation gave to them. However, whether they have to be considered terrorists is unclear. Moreover, the counter-terrorist strategies put into practice by states and international organisations are gender-blind. Whether or not they have to be repatriated is controversial, and European countries are giving mixed responses. This article examines three arguments. First, whether the Caliphate women have to be considered terrorist foreign fighters. Second, if the EU is giving or not a gender perspective of counter-terrorist action concerning them. Finally, which would be the implications of the EU Comprehensive Approach for the WPS agenda and its member states? The article suggests that only a truly transformative feminist agenda would eliminate violent extremism in the world.

Published: June 2022

Ukraine adopted its first National Action Plan (NAP) on UNSCR 1325 on Women, Peace and Security whilst facing an active military conflict on its territory. The country also invested in localising the Women, Peace and Security agenda through the development of regional and local action plans. Additionally, several ministries adopted sectoral action plans. This article looks at the context in which Ukraine developed its first NAP 1325 (post-Maidan) and assesses the NAP against global high impact NAP indicators. The authors then focus on connections between the national and regional/local-level plans and conclude that Ukraine's first NAP did 'trigger' localisation initiatives in the form of Regional Action Plans (RAP) on UNSCR 1325, with Local Action Plans having been initiated via a separate track. A certain level of synergy was realised between initiatives stemming from these plans. The authors do, however, conclude untapped potential remains to further nurture, facilitate and support bottom-up Women, Peace and Security initiatives in Ukraine.

Authors: Vasiljević Rade
Published: June 2022

Introduction/purpose: To study the adequacy of applying numerical methods in the modal analysis of complex carrying structures of cranes. Methods: Comparative application of the analytical method and the numerical method - FEM. Results: Some comparative values of the modal parameters were obtained both analytically and numerically for the derived solution of a gantry crane carrying structure. Conclusion: It is shown that the numerical method can give a reliable general quality estimate of the structural behaviour of a complex carrying structure from the aspect of modal analysis.
Contribución y rentabilidad del modelo educativo norteamericano de los Community Colleges y su posible aplicación al sistema educativo español

Los Community Colleges son instituciones norteamericanas de educación superior que ofrecen gran diversidad de programas oficiales y no oficiales, incluyendo el primer ciclo universitario, formación profesional, formación continua y cursos compensatorios para aquellos alumnos que no hayan alcanzado los niveles adecuados para comenzar la educación superior. Por este motivo, otorgan una amplia variedad de titulaciones, abarcando desde certificados de menos de un año de duración, hasta grados para poder atender de esta manera a un alumnado muy diverso, lo que facilita la formación de un amplio sector de la población, contribuyendo categóricamente al desarrollo socioeconómico de EEUU. Su atractivo reside en su gran flexibilidad y accesibilidad, características esenciales para hacer frente a la rapidez con que se suceden los acontecimientos y para afrontar mejor las incertidumbres económicas y sociales venideras. Los estudios presentados en este articulo confirman que la inversión en formación de la población, no sólo es necesaria para garantizar el desarrollo personal y de un país, sino que tiene una alta rentabilidad, obteniendo una tasa de retorno elevada. Utilizando una metodología descriptiva-explicativa de la extensa bibliografía empleada, además de la experiencia personal de la autora en dichas instituciones, el presente trabajo de investigación pretende establecerse como punto de partida para ahondar en los beneficios que el modelo de educación superior de los community colleges reportaría al sistema educativo español y consecuentemente, al mercado laboral español y a su economía. Efectivamente, estas instituciones ayudarían a aumentar los niveles académicos de la población española, carentes de la necesaria formación para poder hacer frente a los retos tecnológicos, económicos y sociales del presente decenio. Para ello, se apoya en la positiva contribución que los community colleges han tenido en el desarrollo socioeconómico de EEUU desde su creación a principios del siglo XX, y en la necesidad de incrementar los niveles académicos españoles.
«Puedo prometer y prometo». Estudio comparado de las medidas programáticas para las elecciones generales en España (2019) en busca del pacto de Estado para la educación
Authors: González López Víctor
Published: June 2022

¿Es posible un Pacto de Estado por la Educación en España? Desde 1978 se han sucedido siete leyes educativas con carácter orgánico en función del signo político del partido que entrara en el Gobierno. En la actualidad, la nueva política ha puesto fin al modelo bipartidista vigente obligando a los partidos a establecer negociaciones con el fin de alcanzar el poder. Mediante el estudio de los programas electorales en las últimas elecciones generales en España (2019) se intenta responder a la pregunta planteada. El artículo comienza abordando desde una perspectiva histórica dos aspectos clave, la confrontación ideológica y los intentos fallidos de pacto llevados a cabo en España, para proseguir con el estudio detallado de las medidas políticas en materia educativa planteadas por los partidos con mayor representación parlamentaria en el Congreso a fin de encontrar convergencias que abrieran una vía hacia el tan ansiado pacto

La notable expansión durante las últimas décadas de los centros universitarios privados en España ha suscitado múltiples comparaciones con las universidades públicas. Sin embargo, desde la perspectiva de la psicología de la educación, han sido menos exploradas las percepciones y creencias al respecto —ajustadas o no a la realidad- de los estudiantes universitarios. A raíz de ello se plantea un estudio de screening cuyo objetivo principal es indagar en las opiniones de egresados en los últimos 5 años y estudiantes de universidades públicas sobre sus percepciones entre estos dos modelos de financiación. Han participado 102 personas (25.5% varones y 74.5% mujeres) que actualmente estudian en la universidad (55.9% del total) o que han terminado sus estudios en los últimos 5 años (44.1%). Se desarrolló un instrumento de valoración ad hoc con el que se evaluaron las percepciones de los participantes. Se analizaron estadísticos descriptivos, correlaciones y diferencias de medias entre ambos grupos. Los resultados más destacables indican que, aunque los participantes encuentran algunos indicadores de calidad (materiales, clases prácticas, trato cercano…) más presentes en las privadas, destacan las públicas en cuanto a calidad docente e investigadora. Por otro lado, aunque encuentran que las universidades privadas se adaptarán mejor a la situación de la pandemia, especialmente en relación al modelo online de docencia, también ven una oportunidad de mejora para las universidades públicas. Estos hallazgos pueden señalar un camino a seguir en cuanto a la orientación universitaria, la docencia o las becas universitarias.
La UNESCO y los futuros de la educación superior hasta 2050. Por una ampliación del derecho a la educación que incluya a la educación superior
Authors: Lázaro Lorente Luis Miguel
Published: June 2022

El contexto mundial de incertidumbre en el que, personal y profesionalmente, nos desenvolvemos favorece la aparición e impulso a procesos de reflexión participativa, horizontal, en todos los planos de la vida. También en la educación, incluida la superior. Se intenta, con suerte, avizorar cómo podríamos mejorar lo que hacemos, cómo lo hacemos, dónde lo hacemos y para qué lo hacemos en las Universidades, entendidas en su sentido más amplio de enseñanza superior, postsecundaria o terciaria. Lo ha hecho este año la Comisión Europea planteando su Estrategia europea para las universidades. Y lo planteado y desarrollado en 2021 el Instituto de Educación Superior para América Latina y el Caribe (IESALC) de la UNESCO, con su proyecto de Consulta regional para sobre los futuros del aprendizaje desde la perspectiva del sector de la educación superior.
El Informe del IESALC del que se da cuenta aquí ahora es el resultado de las consultas a 25 expertos mundiales en el área de la educación superior y, como se nos advierte, no pretende, para nada, ser un proyecto de educación superior para 2050. Es la primera de las siete fases previstas para el proyecto Futuros de la educación superior dentro del marco de la iniciativa emblemática de la UNESCO Los futuros de la educación. Reimaginar juntos nuestros futuros. En el Informe hay una clara demanda de una educación superior integral y de calidad para todos, adaptando las estructuras de las instituciones de educación superior a las necesidades y características de los alumnos y no al contrario, que respondan a la diversidad del alumnado al tiempo que se trabaja por la diversificación institucional.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A lo largo de todas las secciones del Informe van apareciendo consideraciones y temas que propician la reflexión, el debate y el cuestionamiento de aparentes verdades condicionantes del desarrollo inclusivo y sostenible de la educación superior como bien público en la perspectiva del aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida. Dos nos han parecido acreedoras aquí de una mayor reflexión. Por un lado, la necesidad de seguir avanzando para conseguir afianzar la idea de hacer extensivo a la educación superior el derecho humano a la educac[1]ión, haciéndola realmente inclusiva; y, por otro, la defensa clara de que las instituciones de educación superior sean, efectivamente, centros para la creación, debate y difusión de saberes críticos.
