Published: December 2023

El siguiente artículo presenta las experiencias, percepciones y aprendizajes de estudiantes de Licenciatura en Nutrición de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Argentina) en el marco de participación en una práctica de extensión curricularizada.

Durante 2022 se realizó un proyecto educativo con foco en la educación alimentaria nutricional en la Escuela Provincial de Artes Visuales "Prof. Juan Mantovani" (ciudad de Santa Fe, Argentina), en la que participaron, desde el ámbito universitario, 48 estudiantes junto al equipo de docentes extensionistas; y desde el establecimiento educativo, más de 150 escolares, docentes referentes y el equipo directivo.

Se efectuaron encuestas a estudiantes de la universidad para conocer su experiencia, encontrando que la mayoría no había realizado talleres educativos anteriormente. En cuanto a su desempeño, valoraron la experiencia como positiva y enriquecedora; manifestaron haber desarrollado diversas competencias, logrando aprendizajes relacionados al rol del nutricionista y su interacción con el actor social; y destacaron que, dentro de las habilidades por aprender, se encuentran las de comunicación, liderazgo y organización.

La integración de la extensión en la programación curricular implica una experiencia significativa y expansiva en términos de aprendizajes, transformaciones y crecimiento de quienes serán profesionales, a partir de una práctica inmersa en la realidad social concreta. Asimismo, se reafirma la educación alimentaria nutricional como herramienta valiosa para implementar en escuelas, promoviendo hábitos alimentarios saludables que representarán cambios importantes para la salud futura.
Percepciones y desafíos de la extensión universitaria en relación con la comunicación pública de las ciencias. Un estudio de caso en la UNPA UARG
Authors: Forchino María Verónica , Ramos María Gabriela
Published: December 2023

La relación entre la extensión y la comunicación pública de las ciencias (CPC) en las universidades nacionales en Argentina es un tema que en los últimos años ha ocupado un lugar muy importante en los debates sobre la construcción del conocimiento, la percepción que se tiene de las ciencias en la comunidad y la relación que existe entre ambas. En el año 2021 un equipo de docentes y estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral Unidad Académica Río Gallegos (UNPA UARG) formuló el proyecto de extensión “Comunicar con ciencia”[1] en el marco del programa de extensión en Investigación y Producción Comunicacional. En este proyecto se llevaron adelante diferentes acciones y relevamientos los cuales ofrecieron un primer diagnóstico de situación. 

En este artículo se pretende abordar las tensiones existentes entre la comunicación pública de las ciencias, la extensión universitaria y la percepción de ambas en el territorio de Río Gallegos durante el año 2022. Este análisis se realizará a partir de entrevistas realizadas a directores de los institutos de Extensión e Investigación de la UNPA UARG durante el año 2021, de las acciones de extensión desarrolladas por los mismos y de los datos recogidos en el relevamiento realizado en la ciudad de Río Gallegos durante el año 2022. Luego se analizarán en el marco de la estructura institucional de los institutos antes mencionados.

Feminismos y comunicación: Pilares sustantivos de la Extensión Crítica
Authors: Colacci Romina , Filippi Villar Julieta , Barreras Luis Héctor
Published: December 2023

Este artículo se propone indagar, desde una mirada integral, el denominado campo de la extensión crítica y proponer a los feminismos y la comunicación, no como capítulos dentro del mismo sino como ejes transversales de toda práctica extensionista que se asuma crítica, humanizante, decolonial, feminista y dialógica.

La revisión de la historia de la extensión universitaria nos permite analizar la construcción de su marco epistemológico, teórico-metodológico, pero fundamentalmente político, el cual ha tenido presente diversos modos de comunicación, así como una incorporación de la perspectiva de género que empieza a tomar protagonismo en la actualidad.

El presente trabajo se considera como punto de partida para pensar críticamente la extensión universitaria, reconocer la importancia de los aportes de los feminismos en las prácticas extensionistas y comunicar los territorios desde perspectivas críticas. En esa línea, la experiencia analizada del proyecto Cortocircuito permite cotejar la transverzalización de género y la comunicación en la co-producción de conocimiento que representa una matriz epistemológica, metodológica y política como pilares sustantivos de la extensión crítica.
MODERNİZMDEN POSTMODERNİZME GEÇİŞ SÜRECİNDE KENTSEL KİMLİK VE MEKÂNIN DEĞİŞEN ANLAMI
Authors: KILINÇ GÜL Çiğdem , ALKAN MEŞHUR Filiz
Published: December 2023

Modernleşme ile birlikte dünya kentlerinde çok yönlü gelişim süreci yaşanmış, modernizmin etkisi ve küreselleşme sürecinde toplumun ve kentlerin rolü değişmiştir. Sonraki dönemlerde postmodernizmin etkileriyle insanların yer ile kurduğu ilişkiler etkilenmiş, yere özgü değerler yitirilmeye başlamış, yer-zaman-mekân kavramları birbirinden kopmuştur. Böylece kentlerin ve mimari ürünlerin herhangi bir bölgeye, coğrafyaya, zamana ait olmaması kimlik sorununa neden olmuş ve yersizleşme kavramını doğurmuştur. Yersizleşme ile birlikle mimari tasarımı yönlendiren verileri ve özgün mekânları yer yapan niteliklerin ortadan kalktığı, kavramsal bütünlüğün olmadığı, fiziksel çevre-kültürel ve tarihi değerler arasında kopmaların yaşandığı bir döneme girilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, kentlerin ve mimarlığın kimliği üzerinde, modernizm sonrası postmodernizmin yarattığı etkiye bağlı olarak, yer, zaman ve mekân kavramlarındaki değişimi ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, yer kavramının yeni yapım teknikleri ile çoğaltılarak kopya haline getirilmesi, yerlerin aynılaşmasını ifade etmiş; tüketimin hem sahnesi hem de nesnesi olarak mekânın ele alınması, kentsel alanların metalaşmasını getirmiş; kimlik ve aidiyet kavramlarının kaybolması ise yok yerlerin çoğalmasına neden olmuş ve bu durum da zamanla kentlerde yersizleşme olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Kentlerde postmodernizm etkisinde ortaya çıkan değişim; aynılaşma, yersizleşme ve metalaşma kavramları kapsamında dünyadan ve Türkiye’den örnekler üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Araştırma, modernizmin etkileri altında kentsel mekânın şekillenmesiyle birlikte, postmodernizmin de etkileri ile değişen kentsel mekânın zamanla aynılaşan yerlere, metalaşan yersiz alanlara dönüştüğünü anlamak açısından önemlidir.

Health science is crucial for a country's development. It provides healthcare knowledge and skills to health professionals to maintain the quality of health and well-being of its people. Cambodia's healthcare professionals are underrepresented in GDP growth because few students are interested in the health sciences. This study explores factors influencing students' decisions in choosing a health science major in higher education in Cambodia. It is a mixed-method study. Data was collected from the anonymous Google form questionnaire and focus-group discussions (FGDs). The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, while the qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings showed that tuition fees (38%), specialization courses offered (38%), university modern technology (31.4%), family's decision (29.8%), scholarship opportunity (29.8%), and university locations (24.8%), were the main factors for the participants' choices of their university majors. The theme-based results classified the students' decisions on health science majors into life experiences, role models, family support and engagement, academic performance, and career goals. The results further demonstrated that families, university profiles, and student academic performance played the most important roles in encouraging students' enrollment in health science majors to maintain the quality of the healthcare sector in Cambodia.

Published: December 2023

La coloración de la vegetación viene dada por la presencia de las antocianinas. Las antocianinas son pigmentos hidrosolubles capaces de dar una extensa gama de coloraciones con un extenso mercado en los colorantes naturales, los cuales han presentado un auge en la última década debido a su biodegradabilidad y baja toxicidad frente a colorantes sintéticos. Los colorantes naturales pueden ser extraídos de distintas partes de la planta. En el presente trabajo de investigación se llevó a cabo la extracción y evaluación de un colorante natural extraído de la semilla de aguacate. La extracción del colorante se llevó a cabo moliendo la semilla, se realizó la extracción con Hidróxido de Sodio, luego filtrado y, por último, centrifugado. Para la evaluación de este colorante se calculó su rendimiento obteniendo un promedio de 90.15%. Posteriormente, luego de medir las absorbancias de la muestra con el espectrofotómetro, se determinó su concentración mediante el uso de la Ley de Lambert-Beer. Seguidamente, se aplicó a las fibras textiles de algodón, poliéster y mixtas teniendo como resultado una coloración marrón-rojiza, observando una mayor adherencia en el caso del algodón. Finalmente, se llevó a cabo una prueba de solidez al lavado obteniendo una buena fijación en las fibras de algodón teñidas con colorante natural.

Expansive Type Rational Contraction in Metric Space and Common Fixed Point Theorems
Authors: Yadav Devnarayan , Tiwari Surendra Kumar
Published: December 2023

The field of expansive mappings in fixed-point theory is one of the most fascinating  areas in mathematics. In this theory, contraction is one of the main tools used to prove a fixed point's existence and uniqueness. For all of the analyses, the fixed point theorem proposed by Banach's contraction theory is highly popular and widely used to prove that a solution to the operator equation Tx=x exists and is unique. Through the present article, we utilize rational expressions in metric spaces to deliver unique common stable (fixed) point results in expansive mapping. The main outcomes of numerous relevant innovations in the newest research are built upon them.

Authors:   , Omary Latifa
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to estimate the groundwater recharge of the Lake Manyara catchment (7920 km2) in two different time intervals, historical 1988-2018 and near-future 2021-2050 climatic condition. This study analyzed the trends, spatio-temporal variability in rainfall and temperature, and the length of the rainy season (LRS) in the Lake Manyara catchment, Tanzania covering a period between 1988 and 2018 using stations and satellite climate product. The Mann-Kendall statistical test, Sen‘s slope estimator and inverse distance weighting interpolation techniques were used to detect the trends, magnitude of trends and spatial distribution of rainfall and temperature. A modified Stern‘s method and water balance concept were used for rainfall onset, cessation and LRS analysis while standardized precipitation index (SPI) was used to investigate the wetness or dryness of the area. Then Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment output (CORDEX) Africa data rainfall and temperature projections obtained and lastly used as input data in the WetSpass model for groundwater recharge estimation. The results showed high variability and decreasing trends (4 mm/y) in annual rainfall and non-significant increasing trend for minimum and maximum temperature. The WetSpass results showed historical mean annual recharge of the catchment was 53.9 mm/y with the potential groundwater recharge of 149 Million Cubic Metre (MCM). The results of projected recharge estimated to be 88.5 mm/y with the potential groundwater recharge of 421 MCM. Statistically the contribution of the historical rainfall to the groundwater recharge was 6.7% compared to 8.1% in the projected period. However, the most potential recharge zones in the catchment identified around the northern part (around Ngorongoro), western and southwestern (Buger ward and Mbulu). There is a need, therefore, for adaptation measures such as improving water productivity and irrigation at the farm and catchment level.

Creative arts and social engagement in contemporary Kenya
Authors: Otieno Brian
Published: December 2023

The chapter defers to the general principles of the Kenyan Government’s National Policy on culture and Heritage (2010), this study foregrounds the important but often overlooked connection between creative arts and social engagement. The study specifically illustrates the ways in which selected Kenyan creative artists across three distinct artistic genres creatively and imaginatively use their art to foster the kind of wisdom and activism that is required of citizens in a democratic nation. The chapter positions Kenyan creative cultures art as democratic philosophy which is central to ensuring that citizens freely engage with politics of the day thereby promoting democratic governance. Specifically, the study locates three distinct creative artistic genres, which are digital narratives, popular music and participatory theatre and considers the social role of creative artists to imaginatively observe, evaluate and develop artistic models for addressing social problems and to create collective forms of citizen engagement. To achieve its objectives, the study uses a qualitative research approach involving discourse analysis of creative artistic works by contemporary Kenyan artists within the selected genres. The discourse analytical tool helps to sift through key discourse related to Kenyan creative arts and social engagement. The information gathered is interpreted, organised and described thematically.
African feminist activism and democracy: Social media publics and Zimbabwean women in politics online
Authors: Chikafa-Chipiro Rosemary
Published: December 2023

“We need to begin our questioning, activism and theorising from the spaces from which we are dying,” Funmi Olonisakin. The political landscape in Zimbabwe is largely a post-colonial hetero-patriarchal domain that pushes women politicians to the border of politics. Constraints in civic engagement and political participation that is characteristic of a shrinking democracy and exclusionary public sphere subsist. The 2023 election and its campaign period has shown that the socio-economic and political landscape is unpredictable with serious threats to women’s participation in politics. The lives of Zimbabwean women in politics are continually subjected to multiple forms of violence online and offline. Meanwhile, African feminist activism in the country has seemingly taken several steps back. Zimbabwean feminist activists risk being co-opted into the hetero-patriarchal socio-political structures. There is evidence of a considerable disconnect between feminist/gender activists and women in politics that needs to be addressed. In Senegal and South Africa among other countries, protests by younger generations of feminists have addressed this divide through innovations in protest strategies resulting in the re-formation of radical politics (Dieng, 2023; Hassim, 2023). With social media at the disposal of the younger generation of women politicians the movement is set on a revolutionary trajectory. The sustained social media presence of the new crop of women politicians has created active intimate and counter-publics who engage in vital Zimbabwean political dialogue. The new crop of women politicians referred to here are younger women politicians who unlike their predecessors are very active on social media and have no liberation war experience. The study locates social media as a provenance for Zimbabwean feminist activist revolutionising and democracy initiatives. Theoretically, I posit that the contentions around women’s political participation and violations against Zimbabwean women in politics are revealing of intricacies in African feminism and the coloniality of gender and how these, together with theories of the public sphere can further feminist activism. The study will utilise online ethnography of purposively selected Facebook posts and Tweets by Zimbabwean women in politics, feminist activists and/or gender organisations.
Unraveling the Intersection of Socio-Economic Dynamics and Family Planning Accessibility: Insights from Women of Reproductive Age in Kween District, Eastern Uganda
Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western  Campus Uganda., Meshak Chemutai
Published: December 2023

The provision and utilization of Family Planning (FP) services play a pivotal role in not only safeguarding women's health but also significantly enhancing the overall well-being of their partners, children, and the wider societal fabric. Studies have estimated that optimizing FP services could potentially save 32% of maternal lives and 10% of child lives. In light of these critical implications, this research delves into the multifaceted factors hindering women's access to Family Planning Services within the precincts of the Kween district. Employing a cross-sectional descriptive study design, this investigation focuses on women aged between 18-49 years. Data collection involved survey questionnaires administered to a strategically sampled group of 40 women. The quantitative data underwent meticulous analysis utilizing SPSS version 20, while qualitative data was subjected to content and thematic analysis, presenting findings in a verbatim format. The study revealed that while 47.5% of women were utilizing modern FP methods, encompassing pills, implants, and injectables, there existed a notable unmet contraceptive need of 25%, coupled with a 22.5% contraceptive discontinuation rate. The primary deterrent to accessing modern FP methods stemmed from acceptability issues entrenched in prevailing myths, notably the erroneous beliefs associating Family Planning with infertility and the culturally unfavorable birth of twins. Moreover, the discontinuation of modern FP methods predominantly stemmed from reported side effects such as excessive bleeding, backaches, and headaches. Additionally, the research underscored a correlation between the utilization of modern FP methods, women's educational attainment, and demographic factors like the number of living male children and participation in polygamous marriages. Intriguingly, religious affiliations had a limited impact on FP method utilization, as women demonstrated a tendency to contravene religious doctrines to access FP services despite religious opposition. This study illuminates critical barriers obstructing women's access to and sustained use of modern FP methods in the Kween district, emphasizing the urgency for tailored interventions addressing socio-cultural misconceptions, side-effect management, and demographic sensitivities to foster more inclusive and effective FP service delivery in similar contexts. Keywords: Family Planning, Contraceptives, Injectables, Implants.
