Educación superior en universidades interculturales y comunitarias: Una mirada al marco legal y políticas públicas en Centroamérica
Authors: Hooker Blandford Alta , Flores Carlos Manuel
Published: August 2022

Los países de la región centroamericana, por años, han asumido retos y desafíos que ponen en relieve el compromiso de promover y garantizar una educación pertinente, apropiada y ajustada a los contextos interculturales y multiculturales. Este escrito indaga el contexto que implica repensar retos en medio de una pandemia que evidencia otros desafíos colectivos y personales, los que profundizan las brechas y desigualdades a las que se enfrentan los pueblos. Para el desarrollo de este, se consideró la exploración de textos y escritos desde la identificación y selección descriptiva, para ello, se revisó la base legal partiendo de las Constituciones Políticas de seis (6) países y se indagó en ciertas políticas públicas referidas a educación. Para el caso, se focalizó la región centroamericana. Pese a que los diferentes países cuentan con un sin número de políticas, decretos y planes educativos, aún queda mucho por hacer para consolidar las bases de un proceso educativo completo, que reduzca las desigualdades y que promueva la justicia social, sobre todo, aquellos referidos a los pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes. Los resultados y discusiones manifiestan que el valor radica en el involucramiento del ser humano como centro de nuevos espacios de aprendizajes, de tal manera que se dé continuidad a la lucha histórica de los pueblos contra todo aquello que pretenda colonizar la razón, el saber, el sentir y el ser.

Recupera a produção sobre o tema nas principais fontes bibliográficas nacionais e internacionais de artigos científicos e de teses e dissertações. A leitura, fichamento e análise dos trabalhos encontrados indicam que a produção identificada não abrange de maneira equilibrada as principais categorias de estudo do campo científico da Ciência da Informação, bem como encontra-se dispersa no que se refere às instituições de origem, aos editores e à articulação entre os autores. Considera que por meio de um planejamento acadêmico-científico a Ciência da Informação pode contribuir de forma expressiva para uma produção científica sobre informação ambiental mais institucionalizada, mais bem distribuída em suas subáreas de estudo e mais alinhada à relevância social da questão ambiental.
Qualidade da docência: Resiliência e compromisso nas histórias e contextos de docentes universitários experientes
Authors: Da Cunha Maria Isabel
Published: August 2022

Os estudos sobre a docência como profissão e tem abordado diferentes aspectos que envolvem dimensões pessoais, culturais, econômicas e pedagógicas. Um dos mais divulgados é de Huberman (1995) que analisa o percurso profissional docente a partir de ciclos profissionais de carreira. Day e Gu (2013) discutem os achados de Hubermann, a partir de suas próprias investigações, afirmando que o transcurso da vida profissional dos professores nem sempre é linear e diferentes docentes manifestam necessidades e inquietudes similares, independentemente do tempo de carreira. Essa investigação tomou como objeto a trajetória de docentes com larga experiência na profissão e reconhecida capacidade intelectual que evidencia a qualidade da docência. Nos interessou compreender como foram eles constroem seus saberes que os tornaram referências em suas áreas de conhecimento. Convidamos professores de duas áreas científicas: Geociências e a Educação. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e analisados sob a inspiração da Análise de Conteúdo. Seus discursos foram interpretados a partir de Crosswell (2006, apud Day e GU, p. 153) em torno do que o autor chama de compromissos. Os depoimentos reforçaram que a resiliência na profissão e o bem-estar pode estar na dependência das condições de trabalho e nas condições subjetivas dos sujeitos. A satisfatória combinação entre as políticas externas e o ambiente institucional favorecem o pleno potencial dos professores. Mas a dimensão da paixão pelo ofício, o amor pelo campo de conhecimento de seu fazer e o gosto de estar com os estudantes se instituem como a base do bem-estar na profissão.
Científicos sociales doctorados en el noreste de México. Desarrollo y reconocimiento recientes
Authors: Juan Sordo
Published: August 2022

Este trabajo analiza cómo doctorados locales creados recientemente han contribuido a la investigación en Ciencias Sociales en una región subnacional mexicana, desde un enfoque sociológico que considera que la ciencia en espacios periféricos muestra una dependencia estructural del exterior y de las políticas nacionales. Para ello, se compara el número de ingresos al Sistema Nacional de Investigadores de egresados de doctorados locales, nacionales y extranjeros entre 1990 y 2019. También se identifican las instituciones de educación superior y los programas doctorales locales con mayor contribución y se determinan sus niveles de endogamia. Los resultados muestran un crecimiento acelerado de los investigadores formados localmente durante el último lustro del periodo estudiado, con patrones que confirman la concentración de la actividad científico-social mayormente en dos instituciones; así como una importante participación del sector privado y el predominio de programas que incluidos en el Padrón Nacional de Posgrados de Calidad. En cuanto a los niveles de endogamia, se registra una amplia variación entre instituciones y programas, lo que sugiere que la formación que ofrecen algunos doctorados es ampliamente reconocida en la región, mientras que otros programas se orientan principalmente a habilitar al personal de su propia institución.
Internacionalización inclusiva en América Latina y el Caribe Desafíos y factibilidad
Authors: Gacel-Ávila Jocelyne
Published: August 2022

La pandemia ha sido un “punto de inflexión con importantes efectos para el futuro de la internacionalización, convirtiéndose en una oportunidad para reexaminar sus valores, objetivos, estrategias y prioridades”. Las formas actuales de internacionalización deben ser reevaluadas para reafirmar los valores y principios del aprendizaje intercultural, la cooperación interinstitucional basada en el beneficio y respeto mutuo, la solidaridad y asimismo el acceso a sus beneficios debe aumentar drásticamente (Gacel-Ávila, 2021, p.46). En esta perspectiva, el artículo analiza de manera crítica y comparada el estado actual de la internacionalización de la educación superior en la región, basado en los principales hallazgos de las más recientes encuestas realizadas en la región y el mundo. La discusión se centra en las características de la región, con el propósito de determinar la factibilidad de transitar, en un contexto pos-pandémico, de una internacionalización centrada en la movilidad, hacia un enfoque inclusivo que beneficie a un mayor número de estudiantes y actores sociales, como lo proponen los conceptos de la internacionalización de la educación superior para la sociedad y de internacionalización en casa. El trabajo muestra que esta transformación podría ser altamente compleja para la región, debido a que antes de la pandemia, su proceso de internacionalización carecía de consolidación e institucionalización; dos aspectos fundamentales para lograr este cambio.

Är akademisk frihet patriarkal?
Authors: Martinsson Lena
Published: August 2022

I artikeln undersöks en radikal högermobilisering där genusvetenskap liksom jämställdhetsintegrering, hbtqi- och, antirasistisk arbete i akademin uppfattas som hot mot den akademiska friheten. Studien visar hur högerkonservativa politiker med en egen genuskonservativ politik, både vill styra över ämnet genusvetenskap och exkludera det från universitetet. Den akademiska friheten gäller inte genusforskare. Studien följer även en akademisk organisation som arbetar för akademisk frihet samt konservativa studentrörelser. Kvinnor och kvinnliga studenter pekas ut som en fara för universitetet och man mobiliserar mot genusvetenskap, dess forskare lärare och studenter. I artikeln diskuteras även innebörden av akademisk frihet, vikten av att politiker inte intervenerar, att människor med olika kroppar och erfarenheter får ta del av den, och att ideologi inte står i motsättning till saklighet och sanningssökande.
Characterization of a Molybdenum-reducing and Phenol-degrading Pseudomonas sp. strain Neni-4 from soils in West Sumatera, Indonesia
Authors: Rusnam . , Gusmanizar Neni , Rahman Mohd Fadhil , Yasid Nur Adeela
Published: August 2022

Millions of tonnes of these chemicals are manufactured each year and a large quantity is determined to be contaminating the environment, making them important worldwide pollutants. The fact that they pollute the environment is a major problem on a worldwide scale. There is a continuing search for bioremediation of these contaminants employing bacteria capable of numerous detoxifications. Analysis of the bacterium yielded a preliminary identification of the organism as Pseudomonas aeruginosa Neni-4. Screening for the capacity of molybdenum-reducing bacteria to decolorize different polyphenols was conducted in this study. Reduction was optimum at pH 6.3 and between 25 and 40 oC. The bacterium used glucose as the best carbon source or molybdenum reduction followed by galactose, 2-ketogluconate, and citrate in decreasing order. Phosphate between 5.0 and 7.5 mM and sodium molybdate between 15 and 20 mM maximally supported reduction. Like earlier Mo-reducing bacteria, a reduction of phosphomolybdate is seen in the absorption spectra of the Mo-blue generated. Heavy metals prevented molybdenum reduction. None of the phenolic compounds can reduce molybdenum when provided as sole carbon sources. In contrast, the bacterium was able to grow on phenol, benzoate, salicylic acid, and catechol, all of which are substances that include phenolic components. A significant bioremediation technology is this bacterium's capacity to metabolise molybdenum and thrive on poisonous phenolics.

Authors: Sadli Farah Najieha Mohd , Ammer Masyitah Husna , Shukor Mohd Yunus
Published: August 2022

Currently, heavy metals pollution is significantly becoming a global concern as it causes severe toxicity towards human health and the environmental condition. Intensive efforts to develop a highly sensitive, rapid, and simple toxicity assay to assess the toxic effects of heavy metals in aquatic bodies have been done. An emerging tool to solve this matter is by using microorganisms and one of them is yeast. In this study, a rapid, simple, and cost-efficient toxicity assay by using the Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) respiration assay with a tetrazolium dye (MTT) is developed as potential environmental biomonitoring tool. To achieve high sensitivity, optimization using one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) was first carried out. The best conditions giving optimum response occurred at pH 5.8 and 30 min contact time. Molybdate and chromate exhibited exponential decay type inhibition curves with calculated half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 of 1.137 mg/L for molybdate and 1.247 mg/L for chromate. The Limits of detection (LOD) were 0.313 mg/L and 1.247 mg/L for molybdate and chromate, respectively. The newly developed assay can help in monitoring heavy metals pollution in rivers and agricultural areas.

Published: August 2022

The increased industrialization and overuse of natural resources for energy, such as fossil fuels, have led to the energy crises and environmental issues that plague the world in the twenty-first century. The production of biodiesel from algae has recently gained attention as a potentially useful alternative fuel that is both environmentally friendly and easy to obtain. In this work, the effects of various pH levels on algae biomass and oil production from Chlorella Vulgaris were studied. The growth of the biomass concentration was monitored using a spectrophotometer. The biomass of C. vulgaris obtained from the test was subjected to oil extraction using the chemical solvent method. Out of the five media compositions tested (MBG-11, BG-11, BBM, M8 and N8), MBG-11 recorded the highest biomass concentration at pH 8 (0.6 mg/L/D) and N8 recorded the least biomass concentration at pH 6 (0.49 mg/L/D). The highest percentage of oil was extracted from the C. vulgaris in BBM at pH 6 (31.22%) while the lowest oil was recorded in M8 at pH 8 (14.75%). In conclusion, the best medium for C. vulgaris biomass production was MBG-11 medium while the best medium for oil Production from this microalga was Bold Basal Medium (BBM).

Published: August 2022

Azo dyes, like Remazol Black B, form covalent bonds with textile fibers like cotton, setting them apart from traditional dyes. Due to their advantageous qualities of vivid color, water resistance, straightforward application processes, and low energy consumption, they are widely used in the textile industry. Major environmental effects of their discharge into receiving streams include reduced photosynthesis in aquatic life as a result of decreased light penetration. Seven isotherm models—Henry, Langmuir, Freundlich, BET, Toth, Fritz-Schlunder IV, and Fritz-Schlunder V—were used to analyze the biosorption isotherm data of Remazol Black B dye biosorption by Aspergillus flavus and were fitted using non-linear regression. Based on statistical analysis, the Fritz-Schlunder IV was determined to be the best model using root-mean-square error (RMSE), adjusted coefficient of determination (adjR2), bias factor (BF), accuracy factor (AF), corrected AICc (Akaike Information Criterion), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Hannan-Quinn information criterion (HQC). The calculated Fritz-Schlunder IV parameter, bFS value was found to be 3.812 mg/g (95% confidence interval of 0.312 to 7.311) and qmFS value of 0.0224 (95% confidence interval of -21725.002 to 21725.047).

Authors: Yakasai Hafeez Muhammad , Md. Zin Noor Suffiah , Shukor Mohd Yunus
Published: August 2022

In addition to its use as a pesticide, the chemical compound known as 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) is also utilized in the creation of wood preservatives and colors. Symptoms of acute (short-term) exposure to 2,4-DNP in humans include nausea or vomiting, sweating, headaches, disorientation, and a loss of weight. This type of exposure occurs when the substance is consumed orally. There are a few different models that may be used to simulate the growth rate of microorganisms on a variety of different medium at a range of temperatures. These models can be found online. One of the models that is employed the most frequently is the Arrhenius model, in part because it has a limited number of parameters. The development and metabolic activities of bacteria on the substrates they are grown on are commonly influenced by temperature. Temperature can also affect the growth of germs. Microbes are extremely sensitive to changes in temperature because of their small size. A discontinuous apparent activation energy with a chevron-like graph was used in order to describe the growth of a 2,4-dinitrophenol-degrading bacterium on 2,4-dinitrophenol. The break point of the graph was set at 28.05 °C. This was done so that the development of the bacterium could be described. Following the conclusion of the regression analysis, two temperature ranges for activation were determined. These temperature ranges were 20-27 °C and 30-42 °C, and their associated activation energies were 41.72 and 84.72 kilojoules per mole, respectively. It was anticipated that the Q10 value would be 2.905 and that the theta value would be 1.11 when considering the temperature range that was considered (30-42 °C). Due to the all-encompassing scope of this study, it is particularly useful for forecasting the effect of temperature on the breakdown and fate of 2,4-dinitrophenol during bioremediation.

Published: August 2022

Long-term water contamination, including heavy metals, may harm the reputation of the location. Because of this, it is necessary to do regular water quality checks. In light of the high expense of instrument monitoring, biomonitoring based on enzymes is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. For the purpose of this investigation, a molybdenum-reducing enzyme from the Serratia marcescens strain DRY6 that is sensitive to the heavy metals was used to build a quick inhibitory enzyme assay. The bacterium's molybdenum-reducing activity is extremely vulnerable to heavy metals. With the help of the established assay, heavy metals were detected in water samples collected in Malacca, Penang, and Perak. A number of sampling locations in Penang were found to be inhibiting enzyme activity, while all sampling locations in Malacca and Penang were confirmed to be free of high heavy metal concentrations. The Malaysian Department of Environment has set a maximum permissible limit for the suppression of Mo-reducing enzyme activity in Penang. Detection of heavy metals can be done in less than ten min at room temperature. The entire procedure takes less than 20 min. a first screening procedure or even a near real-time method for routine monitoring of heavy metals, assay is quick and straightforward.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dermatophytosis infections among patients attending National obstetrics fistula center Babbar-ruga hospital, Katsina state. A total number of 100 patients were diagnosed, (40/100) were males and 60% (60/100) were females, giving a gender ratio of 3:2 (males: females), 40% of the participants were of the age range 10-29 years and 60% of age from 14-21 years respectively. Out of 60 cases, a total of 53 dermatophytes were isolated belonging to the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum. The most frequently isolated dermatophytes were Trichophyton mentagrophyte (26.41% 14/53), followed by Microsporum audouinii (22.64% 12/53), Trichophyton rubrum (15.09% 8/53), Trichophyton schoenleinii (7.547% 4/53), Microsporum gypseum (5.660% 3/53) and the least were Microsporum canis (9.433% 5/53) and Trichophyton tonsurans (9.433% 5/53), Trichophyton verrucosum (3.77% 2/53). Although 38 cases (63.33%) had single infections with dermatophytes, mixed infections with 2-4 dermatophytes of the genera Microsporum and Trichophyton were observed in 15 cases (36.67%). 67% (10/15) of the mixed infections were with Microsporum and Trichophyton species, 20% (3/15) were with Microsporum species alone, and 13.3 %( 2/15) were with Trichophyton species alone. This study indicates an outstanding prevalence of dermatophytosis infection among patients who shared combs and scarves and who owned pets; this suggests a thriving animal-human transmission route of dermatophytes and the potentiality of the fomites. The research proposes intensive health promotion and education interventions to promote hygiene practices among patients.

Amikor a facilitátor rendező : Párhuzamok a folyamatdráma és a devising színházcsinálói attitűdje között
Authors: Bethlenfalvy Ádám
Published: August 2022

The concept of devised theatre has become an important part of the Hungarian theatre studies discourse lately. Devising has close connections with different genres of educational theatre/drama. This paper puts the position of the director of a devising process and the role of the facilitator in Process Drama side by side by examining two specific examples. The author argues that there are several responsibilities that a director and a facilitator share and the article comes to the conclusion that it can be productive if the director of a devised performance considers herself a facilitator and if drama teachers see the genre of Process Drama as devised theatre.

"Színészet, mint önálló formanyelvű művészet". A Monori–Székely B.-játékról és a Szentkirályi Műhely három előadásáról
Authors: Porogi Dorka
Published: August 2022

In 1982, Lili Monori and Miklós B. Székely handed in a request to use the basement of Szentkirályi street 4 in order to practice ‘acting as an art form with its own language.’ At first, they rehearsed and experimented in the basement, later they invited in an audience, and held performances. The effects of Monori’s and B. Székely’s acting, their concept of acting and playing are still noticeable in 2021, in the practices they passed onto their colleagues. Therefore, I will examine their theatrical thinking through three performances they created within the Szentkirályi Workshop: the ones titled Operation (1990), Matinee (1996) and M.II.6. (1999.)

The Role of Central European Avant-garde Reviews in the 1920s (Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia)
Authors: Subotić Irina
Published: August 2022

After the collapse of four empires during World War I, several new European states emerged, with new energy, anti-military and progressive attitudes among the youth, and shared optimism for a peaceful future. A new generation of writers, poets, artists, theorists, philosophers, architects, musicians, and film makers helped revitalize the cultural life in Central European countries (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria) in the early 1920s by publishing a variety of reviews that promoted new ideas and radical forms of expression, often linked to progressive social positions and leftists political influences. In spite of different orientations and local historical, cultural, social and political conditions, they often had similar objectives and clearly expressed attitudes about multinational and cosmopolitan culture, new forms and fresh approaches, with an ideological commitment to considering culture as primarily a social issue. The review editors exchanged articles, manifestos, poems, reproductions of plastic and applied arts, methods and practices in theatre, film, music, photography and architecture. They invented new media, organized international exhibitions, performances, conferences; participated in provocative activities and discussions and often shared similar artistic worldviews. Some were successful; others were banned for political reasons, but all were important elements in avant-garde movements of the time.
From The Bauhaus to My House : Migration of Ideas – a Personal Account
Authors: Magyar Peter
Published: August 2022

By paraphrasing Tom Wolfe’s title, I am risking the accusation, that this talk is about myself. However, I intend to use my example, as a case study. Institutions and ideas – related to, and subjects of, this conference – played very important part in my life, from the beginning of my education up to the present time. The cyclic voyages of people and ideas travelled from east to west, and vice versa. Sometimes, their directions of movements coincided, other times pointed in opposing destinations. Born as a Hungarian, at first I learned, that people, who wanted to obtain a special education, traveled to the West. Between the two world wars, more often – as my father also did – to Germany. Farkas Molnár, a Weimar Bauhausean, was born forty years earlier than I. Yet, one if my professors – as a young architect – was in the same circles with him, after his return. Also, one of my high-school classmate, János Fájó, was and still is the most important follower of Lajos Kassák. And for the last 18 years, at least once, but many times twice, I am serving as guest critic at the Dessau International Architecture School, which is the anointed heir of the Bauhaus. So, my second-hand experience with the Bauhaus ideas during my education are promoted to personal involvement with them in the present time. I hope, these outlined conditions enable me for presenting a short summary of the transferences and mutations of the Avant Garde credos, locus of their origin might have been in Germany, but their influence has been always International.

A adoção de práticas ESG tem se tornado um assunto de grande relevância nas pautas de tomada de decisões das empresas em todo o mundo, o que tem levado ao desenvolvimento de investigações científicas para identificar os seus efeitos no meio organizacional. A partir disso, esse capítulo tem como objetivo apresentar evidências científicas acerca do efeito da adoção das práticas de ESG nos números organizacionais. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, observa-se que os efeitos dessas práticas ainda são adversos no meio corporativo, e que isso pode variar dos ambientes institucionais os quais as companhias estão inseridas. Ao concluir a revisão, identificamos que ainda há lacunas para se estudar as consequências para o ambiente organizacional acerca da adoção de tais práticas. Ao findar o capítulo, apresentamos reflexões que sinalizam a relevância de estudos que avaliem as determinantes e consequências do ESG no mundo corporativo.

Published: August 2022

Tangki Ukur Tetap Silinder Tegak (TUTSIT) selain dapat berfungsi sebagai alat penyimpanan dapat juga berfungsi sebagai alat ukur. Untuk menjaga akurasi hasil pengukuran, setiap alat ukur perlu dilakukan pengujian/kalibrasi. Terdapat beberapa metode untuk menguji TUTSIT, salah satunya metode optik dengan teodolit yang memiliki kelebihan yaitu waktu pengujian singkat dan keperluan jumlah personil yang sedikit. Selain kelebihan tersebut, teodolit tetap memiliki kekurangan yaitu harga yang mahal, menggunakan personil khusus, dan pengolahan data masih manual. Pengujian TUTSIT memanfaatkan fungsi teodolit untuk pengukuran sudut dan pengukuran jarak. Pada makalah ini membuat prototipe yang dapat mengukur diameter cincin referensi sebagai langkah awal pengujian TUTSIT. Diameter referensi ini sebagai acuan untuk pengukuran diameter pada cincin di atasnya. Proses pengujian prototipe yaitu dengan membandingkan terhadap teodolit pada posisi yang sama. Hasil pengukuran diameter cincin referensi oleh prototipe lebih besar 15,8 mm dibandingkan dengan teodolit. Adapun nilai-nilai karakteristik prototipe untuk akurasi sebesar 99,2%, presisi sebesar 99,9% dan kesalahan sebesar 0,8%. Prototipe ini memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai alternatif ekonomis instrumen pengujian TUTSIT.

Background. It is agreed that there is a need to work on sustainable extensive livestock production systems. Silvopastoral systems are an alternative for efficient and sustainable grazing systems to increase the provision of ecosystems services and minimize the environmental costs associated to monoculture systems (MS), but the efficiency of intensively managed (IS) and unmanaged or native (NS) silvopastoral systems has never been assessed and compared to MS. The Framework for Assessing the Sustainability of Natural Resource Management (MESMIS) offers a tool to assess sustainability criteria in agroecosystems. Objective. To use MESMIS to compare the sustainable performance of NS, IS and MS and determine the system with the best sustainable performance in the Mexican Tropics. Methodology. One MS IS and NS per municipality (Tizimin, Merida and Tzucacab) were evaluated in the state of Yucatán, Mexico. Based on the MESMIS approach, the evaluation of the critical points of sustainability resulted in the selection of 19 indicators classified according to the attributes also defined by MESMIS (production, adaptability, stability-resilience, equity and self-management) and by sustainability dimensions (environmental, animal welfare, economic and social). After evaluation, indicator scores were obtained and integrated into attributes and dimensions through the assignation of equitable, balanced weights (W). Finally, attribute and dimension scores were aggregated in amoeba graphs to facilitate visual interpretation. Results. NS were better for the dimensions ‘Environmental’ and ‘Economic’ and the attributes ‘Stability, ‘Reliability’and ‘Resilience,’ and ‘Production’. IS were best for the dimension ‘Animal Welfare’ and attributes ‘Adaptability’ and ‘Self-reliance’. MS were better for the ‘Social’ dimension and the ‘Equity’ attribute. Implications. The fact that IS appeared to be more sustainable than MS does not leave out the idea of considering NS as a better option for some criteria such as the biodiversity conservation and the prevention of disease outbreaks, than IS. We suggest that more studies are carried on areas of potential improvement for IS as well as NS. Conclusions. This information will be useful to continue working on the parametrization of sustainability criteria of cattle extensive systems to be used for more efficient policies.
