Ta–Zr–Si–B–C coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering (MS) of a TaSi2–Ta3B4–(Ta, Zr)B2 multi-component target in an Ar + C2H4 gas mixture. TaC–Cr–Mo–Ni based coatings were obtained by electro-spark deposition (ESD) using TaC–Cr–Mo–Ni electrode. The composition and structure of the coatings were studied using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Mechanical and tribological properties of coatings were determined using nanoindentation and pin-on-disk tests. The study showed that the coatings have a homogeneous and defect-free structure, with the main structural component being the fcc-TaC phase. The MS coating exhibited a 30 % higher concentration of the TaC phase compared to the ESD coating. The TaC crystallite sizes for the MS and ESD coatings were 3 and 30 nm, respectively. The presence of a high fraction of the carbide phase and small crystallite size for the MS coating resulted in superior hardness (H = 28 GPa) compared to the ESD sample (H = 10 GPa). Both coatings exhibited similar values of the friction coefficient (about 0.15) and demonstrated reduced wear rates (<10–7 mm3/(N·m)). The deposition of coatings on a steel substrate led to a decrease in the friction coefficient by five times and the wear rate by four orders of magnitude. Pilot tests were conducted on coatings applied to wedge gate valve of shut-off devices used in the oil and gas industry for pumping liquids. The results indicated that the service life of the steel wedge gate valve increased by 25 and 70 % with deposited MS and ESD coatings, respectively.
"Reflecting back" on public participation in the judicial appointment of the South African Chief Justice?
Authors: Ntlama-Makhanya Nomthandazo
Published: June 2024

After more than two decades of South Africa's democracy, the significance of the reform of the judiciary is grounded in the process of judicial appointments to restore its public credibility from South Africa's tainted past. Such reform is now constitutionalised through the establishment of the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) which serves as a focal point in the restoration of such confidence in the judiciary. The JSC's processes seek to ensure the rebuilding of public confidence which entails, amongst others the legitimacy of judicial appointments that should be reflective of gender and racial composition as envisaged in the Constitution 1996. However, the public has since weighed heavily on the criteria and discretion exercised by the JSC on its judicial appointment processes. The debates were intensified by President Ramaphosa's unprecedented reform to involve public participation and establishment of the advisory panel in his constitutional role of the nomination process of the Chief Justice. The President opened an opportunity for a pool of eligible candidates to be recommended for his consideration after they were determined and sifted by the advisory panel. The last four candidates were recommended by the panel and after their interviews, the JSC recommended Justice Mandisa Maya as Chief Justice for appointment by the President. Instead, the President appointed Justice Raymond Zondo as Chief Justice and Justice Maya as Deputy Chief Justice which raised debates and questions on the exercise of this constitutional discretion. The purpose of this article and its focus and limitation is to examine the role of public participation and the establishment of the advisory panel in the nomination process of the Chief Justice. It raises questions about whether public participation does not amount to the representative form of democracy in judicial appointments. In addition, it will restore trust, credibility, and confidence and extend the protection of the judiciary from unjustified attacks from the members of the public. In turn, the value of the credibility of the recommendations of the JSC as a constitutional structure in the judicial appointment processes. Therefore, the paper argues that public participation in the nomination of the Chief Justice is an indirect intrusion of the representative form of democracy in judicial appointments. Public participation is also unlikely to make a significant contribution to the protection accorded to the judiciary by the Constitution. If the President could "water down" the JSC's recommendation, there is uncertainty towards the strive for the attainment of transformative ideals of the new democracy.

Published: June 2024

In the field of materials science, polymer composites have been extensively used in various industries such as marine, automotive, aerospace, sports and other industries due to their good dimensional stability and excellent structural properties. In this present research investigation, epoxy served as the polymer material, while multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and alumina nanofillers were employed for reinforcing the matrix through hybridization. The wear characteristics of the composite material were examined under dry sliding conditions, employing a pin-on-disc machine with a track diameter of 50 mm. The load on the specimen was varied between low (20 N), medium (40 N) and high (60 N), while the weight fraction of the hybrid nanofillers underwent variations in a range of 0.1–0.5 w/% with an increment of 0.1 w/%. The results showed that the reinforcement of hybrid nanofillers significantly reduces the wear phenomena of the composite material. Hybrid nanocomposites with (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) w/% of MWCNTs-Al2O3 exhibit noteworthy advancements in the wear resistance. Particularly the 0.3 w/% MWCNTs-Al2O3 hybrid nanocomposite demonstrates exceptional wear resistance compared to pure epoxy. The incorporation of 0.3 w/% of MWCNTs-Al2O3 results in a significantly improved wear resistance, with enhancements of (83, 81 and 80) % observed during low (20 N), moderate (40 N) and high (60 N) loading conditions, respectively, compared to pure epoxy. Similarly, deformation, delamination and filler plugging were observed with medium and high load. The surface morphology of the worn specimens was assessed through the application of field emission scanning electron microscopy.
Could effective iodine-131 half-life be extended by lithium carbonate in Graves’ disease patients: Results from a retrospective analysis
Authors: Gao Xuemei , Wu Binbin , Zhou Qian , Liu Yan , Wang Ruihua
Published: June 2024

The effective iodine-131 (I-131) half-life (EHL) plays an important role in the evaluation of radioactive iodine therapy for Graves’ disease (GD) patients. It has been observed that the EHL of GD patients varies after taking lithium carbonate. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether EHL can be extended and to identify the predictive factors associated with this outcome. The clinical data of 225 GD patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether the ΔEHL was ≥ 0.5 days. EHL tested after lithium carbonate was defined as Li-EHL. In the univariate analysis, age, sex, thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and baseline-EHL exhibited significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). Cutoff values of age and baseline-EHL to predict significant EHL extension were 40.5 years and 4.85 days, respectively, as determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis further revealed that the regression equation, which included age, sex, baseline-EHL, and the FT3, free triiodothyronine (FT4)/free thyroxine(FT3) ratio, was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Li-EHL positively correlated with baseline-EHL and the FT4/FT3 ratio, but negatively correlated with age. Li-EHL was also increased in female individuals. In conclusion, age, sex, baseline-EHL and the FT4/FT3 ratio were associated with Li-EHL in GD patients.

Gene pool, classification and its importance in modern crop improvement program
Authors: Werkissa Yali , Takele Mitiku
Published: June 2024

Alleles present in a population at a given period are referred to as the gene pool. It is the total amount and variety of genes and alleles available for transmission to the next generation in a sexually reproducing population. In comparison to formal taxonomy, Harlan and Wet identified types of gene pools as main, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary gene pools for the classification of each crop and its related species. The total quantity of genes, types and variants of genes, proportion, and distribution of genes are all revealed by studying the gene pool of a population. Selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift are evolutionary mechanisms that influence a population’s gene pool. The number of genes and the number of people who carry these genes determine the size of the gene pool. Because of chance events, the number of each gene in a gene pool might shift over time. As a result, the goal of this review study is to evaluate the gene pool, classification, and importance of the gene pool in modern crop development programs.

Interested Parties in Medical Malpractice Claims
Authors: Streltsova E. G.
Published: June 2024

The participation of interested persons in medical malpractice claims depends on the disputed material and legal relations and the specifics of the actual relationship.The main difficulties regarding the plaintiffs are related to the identification of interest in medical malpractice claims. The practical importance of detailing the material and legal interest in terms of the grounds for its occurrence is emphasized for persons who are in actual marital relations with the patient; young children of deceased patients; persons who meet the criterion of «having close ties with the patient», including those who are not relatives. It is substantiated that the circle of persons entitled to compensation for moral damage due to fetal death should be determined situationally and may not be limited to the child’s married parents.The interested parties on the defendant’s side in resolving disputes as to compensation for damage caused to the life or health of a citizen depends on the status of legal entities that provided medical services.The practice of involving medical workers in the case, due to whose actions the person was harmed, as third parties who do not file independent claims on the subject of the dispute, is criticized. Procedural complications due to an additional participant in the first proceeding do not create a clear advantage in comparison with the consideration of two disputes with ordinary parties. The practice of involving in the process entities whose competence includes additional financing of the defendant’s obligations; administrative and managerial personnel of a medical institution who did not participate in the treatment of the patient is erroneous and legally pointless.
Reliable Knowledge as an Element of the Design of a Criminal Law Norm: problems of qualification
Authors: Pikurov N. I.
Published: June 2024

Based on the study of the nature of reliable knowledge as a special construct included in many crimes, the peculiarities of the interpretation of the criminal law containing a reference to knowledge and the problems of qualifying crimes involving the dissemination of knowingly false information are identified. In the context of digitalization of the communication space and the emergence of countless sources of information, a person can spread false information under the influence of delusion. Options are proposed for changing some criminal law norms in order to reduce the possibility of objective imputation when qualifying acts committed in emergency situations, in which it is difficult or impossible to verify the accuracy of information.

Measures to Counter Cruelty to Animals: Issues of an Inter-Sectoral Approach
Authors: Suspitsyna T. P.
Published: June 2024

Until recently, liability for cruelty to animals was provided for in Art. 245 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Administrative and legal measures for it were established in a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The establishment of federal regulations governing the responsible treatment of animals has necessitated the establishment of these measures at the federal level. The problem was partly resolved in 2023 as a result of the addition of administrative legislation with rules establishing liability, including for the above acts. This article is devoted to the assessment of these norms, in connection with criminal law norms, with an emphasis on some problematic provisions that can cause difficulties at the level of law enforcement practice. They relate, in particular, to the subject of offenses, the content of the act, their subject, and the subjective side.

Admissible Risks in Criminal Law
Authors: Klepitskij I. A.
Published: June 2024

The specifics of criminal liability for acts involving causing harm as a result of lawful hazardous activities are not regulated in Russian criminal law. There is no uniform solution to these issues in legal theory and jurisprudence. Mens rea under such circumstances is not a satisfactory criterion for distinguishing lawful activity from a crime. The rule on necessity (duress of circumstances) does not solve the problem. The rule on justified risk provided for by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation does not reflect legal reality. In the law of foreign countries, this problem is solved through a detailed definition of elements of a crime associated with dangerous activities, doctrinal justification of objective imputability, and introducing an ethical assessment when establishing a causal relationship. In Russian law, this problem is significant for legal practice; it has not been resolved and requires a solution.

Basque Identity in the 21st Century
Authors: Gaztañaga Julieta
Published: June 2024

A dynamic conception of identity is not about asserting traits or searching for primordial essences but about the processes and contexts of its dynamic and living production including its social futures. Looking forward to contributing to Basque Studies this article offers an analysis of the complexities of contemporary reconfigurations of identification processes by focusing on the problem of Basque identity in the 21st century. I propose an approach not linked to the "Homeland/Diaspora" model but rather to a form of multifaceted and trans-local dynamics that arises from interaction with multiple places and contexts of cultural production and collective identification. The analysis pivots around a case study concerning a family of five, who emigrated to Argentina in 1973 and returned to the Basque Country 30 years later. The essay belongs to a wider anthropological project about the everyday production of national values and contemporary forms of Basqueness beyond ethnicity both in Argentina and the Southern-Spanish Basque Country.
Word Concreteness and Word Originality
Authors: Kennington Casey
Published: June 2024

Basque is the oldest known spoken language of Western Europe that is not descended from Indo-European. Despite efforts to stop its use from external influences, the Basque people have shown resiliency throughout their history to keep the language alive. However, as is the case with all other languages, Basque has not been immune to influence from neighboring languages; indeed all Basque speakers are bilingual. The question explored here is whether a word’s concreteness using machine translation from Basque to English and English concreteness scores determines if an original Basque word is spoken today. We find that there is a significant difference of concreteness scores between old and contemporary Basque. We also compared old Basque words with common contemporary Basque words in a semantic vector space and found the old words to cluster more tightly than contemporary words suggesting that words with similar semantic vectors are able to retain usage through time.

Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what other person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, which states that, the capacity to place oneself in other’s position. Empathy is essential for enhancing the interpersonal relationship, overall life satisfaction and improving the ability to respond well to challenges.An empathetic approach is fundamental to the development of the therapeutic relationship between nurse and patient.

There are several factors which may reduce nursing student’s empathy; lack of appropriate role models, negative attitudes towards clinical competencies, long-term presence in the clinical settings, threatening or risky educational environments, heavy educational responsibilities or clinical duties and negative reaction of patients towards the students. This study was aimed to find out the level of undergraduate nursing student’s empathy during the four-year nursing course.

Descriptive research design was used. A total of 300 undergraduate nursing students were selected using convenient quota sampling methods. Data was collected using Sociodemographic data sheet and Empathy rating scale to find the level of undergraduate nursing student’s empathy during the four year nursing course.

The study results revealed that 80.33% of them had good empathy and 19.67% of them had poor empathy and it was also inferred that there was significant association between selected sociodemographic variables such as age in years, year/semester of study, selection of nursing profession and level of empathy during the four-year nursing course, whereas no significant association were found between gender, types of family and level of empathy during the four-year nursing course.

Empathy is a major component of an optimal nurse-patient relationship. An empathetic approach is fundamental to the development of the therapeutic relationship between nurse and patient. It was also found that as the year advances nursing students empathy is deteriorating in almost all nursing research studies which revealed that there may be some factors which affect empathy. When students are habituated to face patients with pain, surgeries and other problems they lacks empathy. It may be also due to lack of role models in clinical settings.

Published: June 2024

: Salivary gland carcinomas comprise of only 3-5% of all head and neck malignancies. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor. The morphologic diversity of MEC can pose diagnostic challenges hence, various histological grading systems have been proposed based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis. This proves to be greatly consequential in the management and prognosis of patients with MEC.

To compare histologic grading methods in MEC of major & minor salivary glands.

20 histopathologically diagnosed cases of MEC (10 each major & minor salivary gland) will be analysed using following methods: Qualitative Method: 1) Modified Healey 2) Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center method. Quantitative method: 1) Armed force Institute of Pathology (AFIP) 2) Brandwein method Histological findings were evaluated.

In our study AFIP grading system, 50% Cases were classified as low grade, 35% as intermediate grade and 15% as high graded. According to Brandwein grading system20% of cases were categorized as low, 35% cases as intermediate, 45% cases as high grade MEC. Modified Healey grading system of MEC showed 50%, 40%, 10% cases as low, intermediate and high grade MEC respectively. MSKCC grading system revealed as 55%, 30% and 15% cases as low, intermediate and high grade MEC respectively. Our finding indicated that MSKCC grading system was the most favourable histological grading system as percentage of agreement found to be 85%.

Careful microscopic examination is the most important parameter in the grading of MEC. This meticulous microscopic examination emerges as the cornerstone in grading MEC. Both MSKCC and Modified Healey grading methods exhibits effectiveness in evaluating MEC. Our finding indicated that Memorial Slon Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) was the most favourable histological grading system as percentage of agreement found to be 85%. However, further longer studies are imperative to substantiate this finding and for establish of universally accepted grading system for Mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Long term self-resolution of a mandibular traumatic bone cyst: A patient report
Authors: Zeno Kinan G , Saab Wedad Z , Al Matny Lea , Haidar Rachid , Ghafari Joseph G
Published: June 2024

A traumatic bone cyst (TBC) is an uncommon asymptomatic benign lesion usually diagnosed on radiographic examination as a unilocular radiolucency in the posterior mandibular region. It is classified as a pseudocyst because of absent epithelial lining. The etiology remains unclear but is often a localized aberration in normal bone remodeling or metabolism associated with trauma. We report a TBC in a boy that appeared in the first year of orthodontic treatment below the mandibular right second molar and self-healed nearly 4 years later. The patient had no history of trauma. Surgery was discarded because of difficult access and risk of nerve damage; also, the mandibular body continuity was not jeopardized. Clinical examination and periodic radiographic and CBCT imaging were performed during orthodontic treatment (25 months) and the following retention (26 months). The findings suggest a course of observation of a slow developing TBC that does not compromise mandibular anatomic integrity.

Published: June 2024

Plexiform ameloblastoma is a rare aggressive odontogenic neoplasm comprising about 1% of all odontogenic lesions of the jaw arising from cells of enamel organ that has failed to differentiate to form the hard tissues of tooth. Clinically, Ameloblastoma presents as painless swelling of jaw occurring in 3 and 4 decade in the posterior region of the mandible with equal sex distribution. It shows multiple patterns including solid, unicystic, extra osseous and desmoplastic type. Due to its varied presentation and relative risk of recurrence, it possesses a great challenge to physician for early diagnosis. Vickers and Gorlin (V and G) criteria is an integral part of diagnosis of histological types of Ameloblastoma. This article aims to highlight the variations observed in V and G criteria in the histopathological features of mixed variety of Ameloblastoma in a middle aged man.
About the personnel problem in modern Russia
Authors: Tavokin E. P.
Published: June 2024

According to official data, modern Russia has the lowest unemployment rate. However, there is still a huge contingent of hidden unemployment, many times higher than the official level. This situation is paradoxically combined with an acute and continuously growing shortage of qualified production personnel. Using a lot of factual material, the author reveals the causes of this phenomenon. The main one is the depopulation of the indigenous population, which is being replaced by people of other ethnic groups with the lowest qualification level. At the same time, due to the destruction (“optimization”) of the education system, the intellectual and qualification level of the indigenous population is continuously decreasing. The other is the various types and waves of growing emigration of “brains” and “golden hands.” As a result, for more than thirty years, the contingent of old engineering and technical personnel has exhausted itself, while new ones have not been trained in the required volume and quality. A huge personnel “hole” has formed. The author proposes to close this “hole” on the basis of a radical reorientation of the entire Russian education system, starting with kindergarten, school, etc. It is also necessary to reformat the public consciousness accordingly, especially the mass consciousness of young people.
Ontology of institutional design of modern social movements
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Skobelina N.A.
Published: June 2024

The article offers an ontological conceptualization of the institutional design of social movements and outlines its func-tioning mechanism in modern society. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of the institutional design of contemporary social movements. Institutional design is described as an integrated unity of virtual and real practices, incorporating a technological component. The core of this design is the project activity of social movement partici-pants, and the construction of the reality through their participation in social and political life in both online and offline spaces. An ecosystem of design is presented, which includes a structure of opportunities and conditions for the creation, functioning, and institutionalization of social movements. Within this ecosystem, participants interact with an institu-tional environment that contains rules and regulations, as well as opportunities for participation in socio-political life. In a digital society, social movement participants have tools to create new algorithms for constructing reality using mobile applications and social networks. The ecosystem of institutional design expands as social movements gain political opportunities and organize both offline and online interactions with government authorities to address social issues.
Ontological approach to managing adaptive training for specialist groups
Authors:   Military Academy of Military Air Defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Frolov I.A.
Published: June 2024

An integrated approach to solving the problems of managing the adaptive training process for groups of specialists is proposed, allowing for the consideration of changing external and internal factors, as well as the dynamics of changes in the specialists' training levels. This approach enables rapid adjustment of the training scenario to current situations. The implementation is based on ontological and predictive modeling of the adaptive training process. The article de-scribes the meta-ontology for adaptive training of specialist groups in organizational and technical systems for auto-mated training process management. It discusses an approach to solving problems of collecting, summarizing, and analyzing the cycle of intelligent management of adaptive training for specialist groups using meta-ontology. The de-veloped meta-ontology enables automatic determination of trainees' knowledge and skills, stored in their profiles and updated based on completed training stages. This increases the efficiency of forming control actions (educational and training tasks) and improves the quality of training.

Published: June 2024

Since 2017, Ukraine has intensified the processes of reforming and developing inclusive education and creating a learning environment that meets European standards in all educational institutions. At the same time, some challenges and barriers arise while implementing the strategy and conceptual framework of inclusion, which require in-depth study and argumentation. The article aims to study the challenges, conditions, and strategies for implementing inclusive education in Ukraine. The research methodology is based on a legal analysis of international and national legislative acts that contain legal, organizational, financial, personnel, and other conditions for the implementation of inclusive education in Ukraine. The results of a survey of 304 educators at the Inclusive Resource Center of Ternopil National Pedagogical University, named after Volodymyr Hnatiuk, were used to understand the prospects for implementing inclusion in Ukraine. The results prove that Ukraine has prerequisites for the development of inclusive education. The authors have identified the following key conditions that are formed for implementing a multidisciplinary model of inclusion: legal, strategic, financial, organizational, institutional, personnel, social, and sanitary and hygienic conditions for inclusive education. The international and national legal framework regulates a wide range of issues related to the organization and implementation of inclusion in the educational environment of all types of educational institutions. However, some of them, especially those associated with the provision of correctional and rehabilitation services, require amendments and approval. For Ukraine, information, mental, institutional, and physical barriers to the development of inclusive education are typical.

The surge in Internet-connected mobile devices and media availability has heightened students' fascination with technology. This has prompted considerable attention from the research community toward understanding the correlation between media/technology usage and academic performance, along with metrics such as student engagement and self-initiated learning. Improving students' self-regulation abilities is preferable to prohibiting or restricting technology use if lack of self-control and technology-enabled multitasking behavior are indicators of academic achievement. Additionally, a specific sort of media and technology has been the focus of the majority of studies in literature. The precise influence of diverse media types on academic success remains ambiguous, necessitating further investigation into the impact of various media consumption and technological practices on academic achievement. This quantitative research endeavors to scrutinize the correlation between academic success and the utilization of media and technology among university students. Additionally, it seeks to delve into the association between student engagement, self-directed learning, and their consequential impact.

Developments in the field of educational technology have accelerated research on Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). As the number of the TPACK studies has been burgeoning, the need for a categorization study of the past research has emerged. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review study is to present a categorization table of TPACK studies in three main themes, namely, understanding TPACK, measuring TPACK and developing TPACK. In the study, the distribution of the articles in terms of the publishing year, country, methodology and the participants were aimed to investigate. For this purpose, 39 journal articles which were browsed in the Web of Science index and published between the years of 2013 and 2024 were examined. The results revealed that the number of the TPACK studies decreased from the year of 2021 on, the United States of America was the leading country with the most TPACK studies, quantitative design was the most preferred research design, and the majority of the studies were conducted with pre-service teachers for developing their TPACK level.

Educação para a cidadania: aproximações ontológicas entre Freud e Freire
Authors: Pauly Evaldo Luis
Published: June 2024

O artigo desenvolve uma aproximação hermenêutica entre as ontologias de Freud e Freire, a partir da libertação da palavra de pessoas oprimidas. Freire desenvolveu a pedagogia do oprimido cuja práxis combate a introjeção do opressor realizada pelo próprio oprimido. Freud defendeu uma prática clínica que reforça a liberdade no processo de identificação do sujeito que a si mesmo se oprime. O pedagogo e o psicanalista interpretam a massificação do sofrimento humano e social como a opressão do amor. Este artigo de fundamentação teórica conclui que os paradigmas ontológicos de Freire e de Freud ajudam na formação para o exercício da cidadania em contextos sociais de opressão.
Geograficando Andalgalá: la escuela como el lugar de conocimiento, creación y reconstrucción de la propia historia
Authors: Valiente Silvia Carina
Published: June 2024

En el marco del proyecto de investigación y transferencia acreditado por la Universidad Nacional de Catamarca (2022-2023) del cual soy si directora, nos propusimos como objetivo reunir y sistematizar historias y conocimientos del lugar (Andalgalá) que no ingresaron o tienen poca presencia en la escuela, y hacen al sentido de pertenencia e identidad de sus habitantes. Pretendimos reconstruir un archivo de una memoria que está sólo en la oralidad. Nuestro punto de apoyo para realizar tal estudio fueron escuelas de diferentes niveles (primario, medio y superior), todas de gestión estatal. La elección se fundó en ser las instituciones educativas el ámbito de mayor familiaridad de gran parte de los integrantes del equipo (docentes). Con la sospecha que ciertos contenidos/saberes que hacen a las memorias del territorio no serían parte de los contenidos de las asignaturas como ciencias sociales en la primaria, o historia y geografía en la secundaria, por decir las más generales, e incluso de los espacios específicos el el nivel superior, nuestra hipótesis era que no ingresaban al aula por estar demasiados ancladas en las particularidades y cotidianeidad del lugar. Desde esta premisa, identificamos y definimos algunos tópicos o temas recurrentes que configurarían esas memorias del territorio vinculadas a las formas de cocinar, alimentarse, curarse, y también incluíamos las creencias e historias del lugar. Con esa propuesta fuimos a las escuelas de Andalgalá para trabajar con los estudiantes estas aspectos, desde metodologías cualitativas y aportes de la pedagogía latinoamericana bajo el formato taller, y los primeros resultados, son compartidos en este escrito.
