Study on the Mobility in Status of Women Evolutionary Phases towards Empowerment in India
Authors: M.D. Pradeep
Published: November 2020

Women are the embodiment of divine virtue and purity blessed with the sweetness of speech and beauty from the god. There were contradictory dialogues about women where some schools of thought representing them to be ‘equals of men’ and other schools trying to spread hatred and disrespect by projecting women to be weak minded and unworthy of trust. The status of women witnessed a steady shift along with the phases of Indian society since from ancient to modern times. The life of women was highly influenced by the social attitude and practices in light of philosophical ideologies. The ancient epics and literature placed women with the utmost respect and integrity. The sacred position granted to women found a shattered steady decay with the time leading towards disrespect and injustice. Women started to regain the lost status only in the later part of the nineteenth century. The study on the mobility in the status of women is possible only through a detailed review into the integrated evolutionary process of social system and practices. The injustice and deprivation caused due to the shattered status can be compensated only through equity and justice. Equity in status can be attained only through inclusive growth. This paper highlights on the issues connected to the mobility in the status of women along the ancient, medieval and modern era. It describes the efforts on women empowerment for inclusive growth to ensure equity among men and women thereby recapture the status to which women are deprived off.

Authors: Aithal P. S. , Kumar Prasanna , Dillon Mike
Published: November 2020

The recently developed theory called Theory of Accountability (Theory A) for organizations of 21st century identifies the various factors which affect the organizational human resources performance. The essential components identified to improve the productivity of any organization based on the postulates of Theory A are (1) Planning, (2) Target setting, (3) Motivation, (4) Work Strategies, (5) Responsibility, (6) Role model, (7) Monitoring & Guiding, and (8) Accountability. The objective of this paper is to apply the components of Theory A to Indian Banking system and to study how to improve the productivity of the banking system for economic progress in India. Accordingly we analysed the business model and the organizational strategy of Indian Banks in terms of their business objectives, service planning, target setting for the employees, employee motivational factors, working strategies to improve productivity, selfand mutual responsibilities among individual employees and in their teams, concept of role model in banking service innovation, continuous monitoring and guiding strategies, and finally accountability of each and every employee at different organizational levels. The applicability of Theory A on both private and public sector banks are discussed in general and suitable suggestions are proposed to the banking sector to improve productivity based on the postulates of Theory A.
Introducing “Cap Concept” in a Class Room Learning for the Students to Achieve Success
Authors: Gowda Gururaj Ganapati , D’Mello Laveena
Published: November 2020

Unchanged Indian education system has blocked student’s interest in active learning in the classroom. All the time and all the ways students are demotivated, distracted and pressurized. Today class room teaching made the teachers get limited for completion of the portion and also the modern educational institutions are wordless in beyond classroom teaching. Corporal punishments, exams and home works are only become the deferent parameters to measure the children. It made all the way children feel helpless, hopeless and worthless. In the classroom students are only expected by the teachers to be silent and pay attention towards continues sessions. The other hand teachers have no way to pay little time to make children get motivated and active. However unless we create a positive and motivational teaching in the classroom no use whatever we inculcate, only we can complete the portion not inculcating values of concept we teach. The main objective of this study is to implement the cap concept, which creates student’s attention towards positive change in their attitude and behaviour, concentration in the class, improved confidence level, encouraged towards social involvement and many more. Cap concept is nothing but awarding an attractive cap to a student in the classroom for the recognition of a little positive work that he or she has done. The student awarded cap will wear it and sit in the particular session. It influences the student to feel proud by the identity and claps given by the classmates. The particular student will also will start liking and accepting the particular teacher and their guidance. The study made it very clear that the cap concept will surely help the teacher to encourage the students with several behavioural problems and bring positive change in their day todays leaving. As per the data 64% of respondents have expressed positive improvement in their behaviour. The activity is conducted for 50 high school students; 25 girls and 25 boys. Interview schedule, primary and secondary methods are used and the study is descriptive in nature.

Published: November 2020

The aim of this paper is to know the history, definition, principles, characteristic, technique of the audio-lingual method. This method are using in the microteaching class which is have many methods in particular. The audiolingual method is basically a development of direct methods which are considered to have weaknesses, especially in explaining things that are difficult for students to understand. For this reason, besides emphasizing language teaching through listening and imitating, this method is also possible to use mother tongue for explanation. This method is usually applied more in the form of a drill pattern. The use of the drill approach is commonly used in military circles. Because at first this method was widely used in the military, this method was also called the army method.
Strengthening of Structure by Repair, Rehabilitation, Retrofitting and Restoration
Authors: Singh Shakti , Kumar Devender
Published: November 2020

All structures have a assumed use able life, which depends on the weathering action, chemical attack, embedded metals, alkali-aggregate reactivity, fire, due to overload, seismic forces, quality of materials used, techniques, workmanship etc. The large numbers of monuments, which are cherished heritage structures have stood well over a period of time due to best material and periodical maintenance. But some of these have shown signs of distress due to age, aggressive natural environment/industrial pollution etc. Further, distress gets aggravated due to overcrowding and misuse of buildings. Some Buildings have also failed due to faulty design, construction, bad quality materials, poor workmanship etc. The various causes of structural failure and the principles of rehabilitation of structures are discussed. In the structures, the cracks are generated due to different causes e.g. in some cases cracks are caused after the structure has been completed for a few years which results in shortening of life and strength of structure. The main criteria is how to repair a reinforced concrete elements of structures and for this the skills, knowledge, and experience required to repair damaged or deteriorated structures are decidedly different from those required to build new structures. The purpose of this paper is to justify the latest techniques, advanced materials and various requirements of repairing work to obstruct the deterioration which is necessary and economical than to reconstruct the building.

Water erosion research in China: A review
Authors: Fang Haiyan
Published: November 2020

Abstract. China, among other countries, suffers severe soil loss. Water erosion studies in China have been conducted since 1922, and great achievements have since been obtained. Promoting water erosion research in China and globally requires a systematic review of water erosion studies in China. This paper reviews the history, major achievements of water erosion research in China as well as its influencing factors, water erosion processes, changing mechanisms, sediment source identification, global changes, and water erosion impacts on water pollution and crop yield, and research needs in future water erosion study. Threshold slope lengths and water erosion gradients must be considered in hydrologic/erosion models to accurately estimate water erosion. Sedimentation information has been well-mined using chronological tracers and rainfall characteristics in China, which help offset the lack of monitored data in understudied regions. Physical water erosion models that have been well developed in China however should be programmed, promoted, and continuously updated to promote global accessibility. Tracers are used to estimate water erosion, and the efficiency of elemental selection and result confirmation is significant when fingerprinting methods are used to identify sediment sources. Climate change and land use models should be coupled with water erosion models to predict global change impacts on water erosion. In future water erosion research, extreme rainstorm impact on water erosion, water erosion impact on crop yield, smart soil and water conservation, and ecological service-oriented water erosion in China should be evaluated in depth. This review is intended to present water erosion research over approximately 100 years in China to provide future directions and highlight the need for ongoing water erosion research in China and other countries.
Learning about precipitation orographic enhancement from snow-course data improves water-balance modeling

Abstract. Precipitation orographic enhancement depends on both synoptic circulation and topography. Since high-elevation headwaters are often sparsely instrumented, the magnitude and distribution of this enhancement remain poorly understood. Filling this knowledge gap would allow a significant step ahead for hydrologic-forecasting procedures and water management in general. Here, we hypothesized that spatially distributed, manual measurements of snow depth (courses) could provide new insights into this process. We leveraged 11,000+ snow-course data upstream two reservoirs in the Western European Alps (Aosta Valley, Italy) to estimate precipitation orographic enhancement in the form of lapse rates and consequently improve predictions of a snow-hydrologic modeling chain (Flood-PROOFS). We found that Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) above 3000 m ASL was between 2 and 8.5 times higher than recorded cumulative seasonal precipitation below 1000 m ASL, with gradients up to 1000 mm w.e. km−1. Enhancement factors estimated by blending precipitation-gauge and snow-course data were quite consistent between the two hydropower headwaters (median values above 3000 m ASL between 4.1 and 4.8). Including blended gauge-course lapse rates in an iterative precipitation-spatialization procedure allowed Flood-PROOFS to remedy underestimations of both SWE above 3000 m ASL (up to 50 %) and importantly precipitation vs. observed streamflow. Runoff coefficients based on blended lapse rates were also more consistent from year to year that those based on precipitation gauges alone (standard deviation of 0.06 and 0.19, respectively). Thus, snow courses bear a characteristic signature of orographic precipitation, which opens a window of opportunity for leveraging these data sets to improve our understanding of the mountain water budget. This is all the more important due to their essential role in supporting water security and ecosystem services worldwide.
Long-term field experiments in Germany: classification and spatial representation
Authors: Grosse Meike , Hierold Wilfried , Ahlborn Marlen C. , Piepho Hans-Peter , Helming Katharina
Published: November 2020

Abstract. The collective analysis of long-term field experiments (LTFEs), here defined as agricultural
experiments with a minimum duration of 20 years and research in the context of sustainable
soil use and yield, can be used for detecting changes in soil properties and yield such as those induced
by climate change. However, information about existing LTFEs is scattered, and the research data
are not easily accessible. In this study, meta-information on LTFEs in Germany is compiled and
their spatial representation is analyzed. The study is conducted within the framework of the
BonaRes project, which, inter alia, has established a central access point for LTFE information
and research data. A total of 205 LTFEs which fit to the definition above are identified. Of these,
140 LTFEs are ongoing. The land use in 168 LTFEs is arable field crops, in 34 trials grassland, in
2 trials vegetables and in 1 trial pomiculture. Field crop LTFEs are categorized into
fertilization (n=158), tillage (n=38) and crop rotation (n=32; multiple nominations
possible) experiments, while all grassland experiments (n=34) deal with fertilization. The
spatial representation is analyzed according to the climatic water balance of the growing season
(1 May to 31 October) (CWBg), the Müncheberg Soil Quality Rating (MSQR) and clay content. The
results show that, in general, the LTFEs well represent the area shares of both the CWBg and the
MSQR classes. Eighty-nine percent of the arable land and 65 % of the grassland in Germany are covered by
the three driest CWBg classes, hosting 89 % and 71 % of the arable and grassland LTFEs,
respectively. LTFEs cover all six MSQR classes but with a bias towards the high and very high
soil quality classes. LTFEs on arable land are present in all clay content classes according to
the European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC) but with a bias towards the clay content class 4. Grassland LTFEs show a bias towards
the clay content classes 5, 6 and 7, while well representing the other clay content classes,
except clay content class 3, where grassland LTFEs are completely missing. The results confirm
the very high potential of LTFE data for spatially differentiated analyses and modeling.
However, reuse is restricted by the difficult access to LTFE research data. The common database
is an important step in overcoming this restriction.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. This paper investigates the aerodynamic impact of Gurney flaps on a research
wind turbine of the Hermann-Föttinger Institute at the Technische
Universität Berlin. The rotor radius is 1.5 m, and the blade
configurations consist of the clean and the tripped baseline cases, emulating
the effects of forced leading-edge transition. The wind tunnel experiments
include three operation points based on tip speed ratios of 3.0, 4.3, and
5.6, reaching Reynolds numbers of approximately 2.5×105. The
measurements are taken by means of three different methods: ultrasonic
anemometry in the wake, surface pressure taps in the midspan blade region,
and strain gauges at the blade root. The retrofit applications consist of
two Gurney flap heights of 0.5 % and 1.0 % in relation to the chord
length, which are implemented perpendicular to the pressure side at the
trailing edge. As a result, the Gurney flap configurations lead to
performance improvements in terms of the axial wake velocities, the
angles of attack and the lift coefficients. The enhancement of the root
bending moments implies an increase in both the rotor torque and the thrust.
Furthermore, the aerodynamic impact appears to be more pronounced in the
tripped case compared to the clean case. Gurney flaps are considered a
passive flow-control device worth investigating for the use on horizontal-axis wind turbines.
La línea in/visible. La frontera, territorio de experiencia
Authors: Alonso Riveiro Mónica , Ferreira Susana
Published: November 2020

En los últimos años los estudios de frontera han desarrollado el concepto de fronterización (bordering) que describe las fronteras no como topografías inmutables sino como procesos; invitándonos a pensar en ellas «más allá de la línea» y mostrando los espacios fronterizos como lugares cambiantes, siempre en construcción.

En paralelo, la cartografía crítica y las prácticas artísticas desarrollan representaciones en que estos espacios fronterizos revelan un idéntico carácter dinámico, fluido o vacilante.

Partiendo de la doble óptica de los estudios de frontera y los estudios visuales, y a través de un recorrido visual por diferentes representaciones de la frontera, el presente texto tratará de desmontar algunas ideas preconcebidas sobre ellas, cuestionar su visibilidad e invisibilidad, explorar su carácter dinámico, o vacilante y, ante todo, reflexionar sobre los múltiples modos en que éstas determinan la vida de los individuos y las huellas que dejan en ellos, en sus imágenes y por tanto en su (nuestra) memoria.

Se trata de hacer visible una nueva cartografía alternativa, en que la fotografía doméstica se intrinca con las prácticas artísticas y donde los espacios fronterizos no son sólo lugares de dominación sino de reconstrucción, de potencialidad, a partir de los cuales asumir la propia condición y, a partir de ella, reconfigurar lo real.
Crossing borders y nuevas creatividades. El pensamiento de frontera en la producción artística de Teresa Margolles y Guillermo Gómez- Peña
Authors: Di Paola Modesta
Published: November 2020

En el nuevo escenario de la producción teórica y crítica del arte contemporáneo, redefinido por los flujos globales y la movilidad de géneros, disciplinas, comportamientos y metodologías, surge la necesidad de crear nuevas herramientas de interpretación de las prácticas artísticas. Teóricos de varios ámbitos disciplinares como Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Édouard Glissant, Fernando Ortiz, Walter Mignolo, Gloria Anzaldúa, entre otros, han creado una narrativa de resistencia para deconstruir las estrategias modernistas de igualdad que las ciencias sociales tradicionales han imaginado como sólidas e inamovibles (la nación, la clase, la adscripción político-ideológica). Las teorías del arte sumergidas en el posestructuralismo —con frecuentes incursiones hacia el posmodernismo y el poscolonialismo— son deudoras de estas posiciones conceptuales y revelan el interés hacia la resistencia en contra del proyecto etnocéntrico y universalista de la modernidad. Los artistas mexicanos Teresa Margolles y Guillermo Gómez-Peña, generando una movilidad identitaria y cultural en este escenario posnacional, poshistórico y poscolonial, significan casos de estudio significativos para entender el cambio de paradigma que domina buena parte de la producción artística actual, sobre todo en contextos fronterizos.
János Priwitzer (c.1590-c.1665): migración, pintura y diplomacia
Authors: Cagigal Montalbán Ekain
Published: November 2020

János Priwitzer fue un pintor barroco de origen eslovaco (Reino de Hungría), que emigró a tierras inglesas, donde encontró su lugar como retratista de la corte y de la aristocracia británica, bajo la impronta de la Anglo-Netherlandish School. En este círculo entroncó fuertemente con la embajada española de la de la época, particularmente con dos de sus diplomáticos, el conde de Gondomar –a quien retrató– y Virgilio Malvezzi, para quienes pudo trabajar también como agente. La Guerra Civil inglesa le obligó a huir forzosamente por su condición de católico, en plena efervescencia protestante. Tras un breve paso por Irlanda, llegó a España como víctima del corsarismo dunkerqués. Acabó sus días establecido en Bilbao, con una doble ocupación: la enseñanza de la pintura y la diplomacia mercantil del activo puerto vizcaíno. En resumen, una intensa trayectoria vital llena de azares, que destiló una personalidad artística, aún por completar.
Between History and Power. The Historiography of Romanian National-Communism (1964-1989)
Authors: Zavatti Francesco
Published: November 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivo el análisis de la relación entre la historia y el poder político en la Rumania comunista durante el gobierno de Nicolae Ceauşescu. La sección de apertura del artículo tiene como objetivo explicar cómo la historiografía rumana fue sustituida por una versión pro-soviética y pro-estalinista, con el objetivo de proclamar la superioridad de la Unión Soviética y del comunismo. En segundo lugar, la primera sección muestra el delicado paso entre el estalinismo y el comunismo nacional. Como explica la primera sección, el liderazgo rumano entendió que eliminar la dependencia de Moscú era esencial para garantizar la estabilidad interna. Por esta razón, tuvo que crearse una legitimidad genuina al reeditar la ideología nacional rechazada en 1948. La historia nacional recuperó su importancia primordial dentro de la cultura rumana, esta vez al servicio de la élite estalinista y al lado de los símbolos marxista-leninistas. La segunda sección tiene como objetivo mostrar el desarrollo del nuevo canon comunista nacional después de 1965, una vez que Nicolae Ceauşescu asumió el poder. La segunda sección presenta las principales tendencias desarrolladas por la historiografía rumana para inspirar lealtad al Partido Comunista Rumano. Como muestra el artículo, a principios de los años ochenta, el nacionalismo y el culto del líder se convirtieron en las principales tendencias de esta metanarrativa histórica. El epílogo señala brevemente las continuidades y los cambios producidos para la historiografía rumana por el cambio de régimen de 1989.
Los últimos corregidores y alcaldes mayores de Cataluña, 1823-1836
Authors: Santirso Manuel
Published: November 2020

El estudio muestra los cambios en la administración territorial de Cataluña durante la crisis final del Antiguo Régimen y la monarquía absoluta. Se ofrecen algunos datos biográficos de sus titulares, los corregidores y alcaldes mayores, y se narran las vicisitudes del sistema en el dominio peninsular de la Monarquía Hispánica donde se registraron las mayores tensiones. Durante la década absolutista de 1823-1833, quedó patente la imposibilidad de mantener la antigua mezcla de justicia, administración y poder militar, por lo que la monarquía isabelina separaría enseguida esas funciones y adoptaría el modelo ideado en las Cortes de Cádiz y desarrollado en el Trienio constitucional de 1820-1823.
Secrecy, Community and Counter-History in Arundhati Roy’s 'The God of Small Things' (1997)
Authors: Valero Redondo María
Published: November 2020

This article explores the different types of communities and the role of secrecy and counter-history in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997), a novel in which secrecy plays a crucial role and in which the most genuine human relations are characterized by a desire to participate in otherness. This article examines Roy’s subversion of the operative community by considering: (a) the different communitarian organizations in The God of Small Things, from the most organic (the caste system, patriarchy, religious institutions, communism and the commodification of culture) to the least organic (the community of Others and the community of lovers); (b) the connection between alterity, finitude and secrecy as preventing the unworked community from organicist fusion; (c) the link between alterity, finitude, secrecy and counter-history. Although ingrained within a deeply organicist community, the main characters in Roy’s novel prove to have a vigorous capacity to trespass communitarian boundaries and to expose themselves to otherness.
‘Incidental + Intentional’ vs ‘Intentional + Incidental’ Vocabulary Learning: Which is More Effective?
Authors: Sinyashina Ekaterina
Published: November 2020

This study compares the effectiveness of two combinations of new vocabulary learning techniques: ‘incidental + intentional’ and ‘intentional + incidental’. For the incidental part, the participants viewed 3 hours of captioned authentic videos, whereas for the intentional one they were asked to do a set of tasks with the target vocabulary at home. Three aspects of the target words were tested: form recognition, meaning recall and written use in a sentence. The overall scores revealed better performance of the ‘incidental + intentional’ condition in the three tests. Nevertheless, a variety of scores in the sample for the three aspects of word knowledge and the lack of statistical evidence did not allow us to conclude with certainty which combination is more or less effective for new vocabulary learning.
¿Puede prestar cuidados la Inteligencia Artificial?
Authors: Nurock Vanessa
Published: November 2020

Este artículo tiene por objeto analizar la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) desde la perspectiva del género y más precisamente desde la ética del cuidado, para mostrar que los problemas planteados por la IA van mucho más allá de los que el género pone en evidencia y a los que con frecuencia se ven reducidos. La cuestión de si estos sesgos son incontestables y deben ser corregidos, me parece, sin embargo, que no es sólo coyuntural, como suele pensarse. Intento demostrar aquí que también es una cuestión estructural apoyándome en dos elementos complementarios: por una parte, afinando el análisis inspirado en la perspectiva de género; y, por otra parte, examinando los usos de la IA aplicados al cuidado. De este modo concluiré mostrando que no debemos preguntarnos solamente por el desarrollo objetivo de la IA sino también por nuestra relación subjetiva con la IA y las propiedades con la que la revestimos.
Tenemos derecho, reivindicamos vivienda. La mercantilización como límite de los derechos humanos
Authors: Barragán Robles Vicente , Rodríguez Súárez Noelia , Abellán Muñoz Jesús C.
Published: November 2020

España ha sufrido desde el 2008 una de las crisis económicas más importantes de su historia reciente. Lo que se inició como una burbuja inmobiliaria, pronto se convertiría en un grave problema habitacional, que, por otro lado, ya se venía arrastrando. El problema de la vivienda no deja de estar en el centro del debate político, y sus posibles soluciones se enfrentan a la legislación vigente, tanto en el Estado Español como a nivel internacional. El presente artículo revisa la actual legislación en España, en relación con la internacional, en referencia al derecho a la vivienda y los derechos humanos. A través del análisis de las relaciones entre las diferentes herramientas jurídicas, sentencias y pronunciamientos tanto regionales, nacionales e internacionales, con respecto a las políticas públicas sobre vivienda y a la economía neoliberal, se reflexiona sobre la garantía efectiva del derecho a la vivienda y sus contradicciones desde una visión crítica de los derechos humanos. El texto pretende servir para el debate en torno a las posibilidades de superación de las debilidades para la efectividad de las garantías jurídicas, enfocando la cuestión de la vivienda desde sus posibilidades como derecho y no como mercancía.
Un nuevo sistema mundo desde el Sur Global: gran convergencia y desplazamiento geográfico acelerado
Authors: Fernández Victor Ramiro , Moretti Luciano
Published: November 2020

Desde inicios del nuevo siglo y bajo las transformaciones desplegadas en los últimos 50 años a partir de la crisis cíclica del capitalismo, tiene lugar un creciente desplazamiento espacial del proceso de acumulación hacia el Sur Global (SG). Tomando este último como unidad de análisis (y observando en su interior la interrelación de las macro regiones que lo componen), dicho desplazamiento es analizado a través de variables asociados a su dinámica, dinamismo y creciente capacidad de control sobre las cadenas de producción global. Inserto todo ello en el marco de la explosión demográfica del SG, los resultados dan cuenta de una inédita alteración de la estructura jerárquica del capitalismo desde su nacimiento, al tiempo que abre un nuevo mapa para el examen de las jerarquías y su funcionamiento respecto del habitual esquema analítico (centro – semi-periferia – periferia) difundido por la teoría del sistema mundo. Una redefinición de la agenda analítico y estratégica se despende de ello a nivel geopolítico y geoeconómico global.

Authors: Neves Bruna Borba , Rocha Josemara De Paula , Grigol Marlon Cássio Pereira , Oliveira Gabriela Guimarães , Jorge Luisa Braga , Bós Ângelo José Gonçalves
Published: November 2020

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a relação entre cognição e facilidade em desempenhar atividades cotidianas e funcionais entre nonagenários e o impacto das atividades investigadas sobre a cognição, ajustando para sexo, idade, escolaridade e sintomas depressivos. Trata-se de estudo transversal e analítico. Foram selecionados nonagenários residentes em Porto Alegre, RS em 2016, através de amostragem por conglomerados. Foram variáveis do estudo: o Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM), variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, escolaridade e faixa etária) e clínicas (escala de depressão geriátrica (GDS) e o grau de facilidade em executar 12 atividades funcionais e cotidianas). O grau de facilidade na realização de cada uma das atividades teve sua relação com o MEEM testada pelo teste de qui-quadrado e regressão linear simples ajustada para as características sociodemográficas e clínicas. Participaram 208 nonagenários, 71% mulheres. Tanto na análise simples quanto na análise ajustada maior facilidade na execução de cada uma das atividades foi relacionada significativamente com maiores escores no MEEM. Sexo masculino, mais que 5 anos de estudo, menores sintomas depressivos e menos que 95 anos de idade foram variáveis relacionadas com maiores relatos de facilidade para realização das atividades cotidianas e funcionais. Houve relação no desempenho das atividades funcionais e cotidianas com melhor desempenho cognitivo nos nonagenários, principalmente entre as atividades cotidianas relacionadas ao autocuidado. Os achados sugerem que o estímulo para a realização dessas atividades entre os longevos poderia trazer benefícios cognitivos, o que pode ser favorecido por meio de adaptação ambiental através de tecnologias assistivas, por exemplo.

Published: November 2020

En este artículo se abordan las estrategias de compatibilización de actividades académicas y familiares en estudiantes padres y madres universitarias, y sus repercusiones a nivel subjetivo, en términos de salud mental y percepción en el desempeño de sus roles. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a estudiantes madres y padres de la Universidad de Chile pertenecientes a los cinco campus de la institución, las cuales se analizaron mediante análisis de discurso. Los principales resultados indican presencia de jornadas largas, extenuantes y variadas, las que son sobrellevadas por medio de estrategias caracterizadas por una notoria autoexigencia y despliegue de redes de apoyo. Estas tienen consecuencias negativas en la salud mental y generan percepciones no tradicionales sobre la juventud, la maternidad y la paternidad. El estudio entrega insumos para el fomento de espacios y reglamentos universitarios más amigables para la población estudiantil materno-paterna.

Los retos que impone el cambio climático a la educación rural frente a los impactos negativos en la biodiversidad y las cuencas hídricas que alimentan el rio Pamplonita principal afluente del acueducto del área metropolitana de Cúcuta, exige la participación de todos los actores sociales rurales.  El estudio realizado entre los años 2019 y 2020, requirió de las siguientes acciones: a) Una reconstrucción de los saberes rurales locales relacionados con la interacción con el medio ambiente. b) Indagar los imaginarios campesinos en torno al rio y al agua como fuentes de vida y de biodiversidad. c) Sistematizar las prácticas culturales de protección y cuidado de las fuentes hídricas de la comunidad. d) Resignificar, desde la perspectiva de los actores locales una pedagogía para la regeneración de las cuencas hídricas y la biodiversidad en los afluentes del rio Pamplonita.  Se tomó como población los habitantes asentados alrededor de seis (6) afluentes que alimentan el rio Pamplonita en el Municipio de Bochalema. El trabajo de investigación se abordó desde la hermenéutica de los espacios al seleccionar a veinticinco (25) pobladores, a quienes se le aplicó una entrevista a profundidad y visita sus predios rurales para caracterizar los recursos hídricos y la biodiversidad in situ.  Los resultados de la investigación permitirán obtener nuevo conocimiento, útil para el diseño de estrategias pedagógicas que ayuden a la conservación de la biodiversidad y las fuentes hídricas, frente a los efectos del cambio climático.

Reconceptualising the Physical Sciences Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement in a South African Context
Authors: Mpungose Cedric Bheki
Published: November 2020

Post-apartheid South African curriculum reforms, from outcomes-based education (OBE) to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), resulted in different challenges. Teachers, in particular those teaching Physical Sciences in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase from Grades 10-12, were expected to cope with changes and master Physical Sciences curriculum for the attainment of good results, but were unable to do so because they were missing an understanding of curriculum concepts. The success of any curriculum depends on ten fundamental and broad curriculum concepts: rationale, goals, activities, assessment, accessibility, resources, content, roles, environment, and time. However, empirical findings show that Grade 12 Physical Science teachers in South African schools still struggle to understand and contextualise curriculum concepts in order to redefine specific CAPS Physical Science concepts. Consequently, this conceptual study uses Van den Akker (2004) curriculum spider web concept framework in reconceptualising Grade 12 CAPS Physical Science concepts. This study argues that teaching without knowing specific subject curriculum concepts can lead to poor teacher performance and poor subject results, this study concludes by proposing a formal, non-formal and informal framework for CAPS Physical Science to resolve this.
