The article is devoted to the study of the changes in management process at enterprises in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine influenced all areas of activity and all industries. Transformations in management processes in organizations have also undergone. The study is based on the analysis of literature and experience in war. Methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization are used to understand and identify the main aspects of management transformation. Management processes in organizations during the war have their own characteristics. The main changes in the management process relate to four management functions – planning, organizing, motivation and control are defined. It is revealed that during the war business organizations change the time horizons of planning and move from strategic to tactical and operational planning. When it becomes dangerous to work, there are interruptions of electro-, heat, water supply, prices for raw materials, materials, goods are increasing, there is not enough labor, lack of fuel, strategic plans become inappropriate. Increasingly, organizations are practicing partial or complete transfer of physical space to online environment. The key aspects of business transition into virtual format are identified: communication, remote work, online sales and customer service, cybersecurity, process optimization, data restoration and backup, training and staff development, accessibility, adaptation of marketing strategies, process and project management, data analysis and tracking indicators, adaptation of company culture. The key to maintaining motivation is to preserve the opportunities for career development and professional growth of workers, increase wages, provide financial bonuses or compensation for risk for workers in the area of hostilities, providing social packages, health insurance for families. Possible aspects of changes in control are the introduction of new security, monitoring and control measures, as well as cooperation with the authorities and security authorities. The results of the study can be used by the managers of organizations for development of strategies and practical approaches to achieve sustainability and success in time of war.

Published: April 2024

The management of public finances is carried out in accordance with the established and defined recommendations, but the main task of the activities of public institutions is to ensure the corresponding social effect of the activities of a particular institution. However, in the BKU, when determining the main powers of managers of budget funds in the management of budget funds, the task of ensuring the targeted use of budget funds is established. The purpose of this article is to study the features of the application of the program-target method by state institutions, as well as the formation of theoretical and methodological recommendations for improving budget planning based on the investigated features. Summarize information about the essence of the concept of the program-target method in state institutions and the features of its application by various state institutions. And also to systematize the main aspects of budget planning in the management of state finances, which will ensure the formation of relevant and effective information on the activities of state institutions and the results of implementation of budget programs. The peculiarities of the application of the programtarget method by state institutions were studied, and based on the results, theoretical and methodical recommendations were formed for the improvement of budget planning based on the studied peculiarities. Information on the essence of the concept of the program-target method in state institutions and the features of its application by various state institutions is summarized. Statistical information on the use of the program-target method by state institutions for the period 2015–2023 was also systematized and analyzed, since it is actively implemented in state institutions by all managers of budget funds both at the level of state budget implementation and at the level of local budgets. However, enough problems remain unsolved regarding the monitoring of the use of funds and the effectiveness of implementation of budget programs in medium-term planning. Since the implementation of the program-target method during management decision-making by the main managers of budget funds is aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of budget programs through the ratio of the use of budget funds and the quality of the services provided, i.e. ensuring the social effect.

The article deals with the theoretical and methodological trends of leadership in the conditions of martial law, the influence of leadership qualities on digitization and their advantages in modern society. The need to activate the creative basis of business structures is substantiated. The essence of creativity in the general sense and in the production activity of the enterprise is clarified. The need to activate the creative basis of business structures is substantiated. The essence of creativity in the general sense and in the production activity of the enterprise is clarified. The role of the manager in the development of creativity at the enterprise is determined, taking into account the main features that contribute to leadership in creative management. The necessary measures to stimulate the development of creativity and creative abilities of employees are formulated, the factors that contribute to the formation of creative activity of personnel and important conditions for the success of innovative activities in the management of business structures are highlighted. When choosing a management style, the leader must take into account, first of all, the laws of management, which determine the basis of the objective components of the style. Ignorance of laws can only partially be compensated by the art of management. The same applies to the principles (generality, objectivity, obligation) that determine the rules for introducing laws into management practice, serving as guidelines when choosing a style. Today, the principle of decentralization is manifested by democratic leaders during the organization of the implementation of the decisions made. It is implemented in the form of delegation of authority by the leader to subordinates. At this stage, a democratic leader tries to take into account the level of professional training, experience, ambitions, motivation, etc. of his followers as much as possible. By delegating responsible duties to them, he strives to make their performance attractive, satisfying and conducive to personal growth, while achieving success serves as a kind of social reward, strengthens the sense of involvement and personal responsibility for the fate of the organization. Along with responsibilities, the leader delegates to his followers the appropriate authority and resources to fulfill them. Without removing his own responsibility for achieving the defined goals, the leader in the framework of the democratic style of management avoids excessive detailed control over the actions of subordinates. He controls the result, giving subordinates the opportunity to show creativity when determining ways to achieve it. However, when evaluating subordinates, he is guided by objective, tested and well-known criteria that exclude subjectivism or bias.

Published: April 2024

Вокальна підготовка для підлітків є важливим етапом їхнього музичного розвитку. В цьому процесі варто звернути увагу на правильній дихальній техніці, розширенні діапазону, артикуляції та вимові, правильній поставі та міміці тощо. Оскільки індивідуальний підхід грає ключову роль у вокальній підготовці підлітків, то кожна особа має свої унікальні особливості, включаючи голосовий діапазон, стиль виконання, сильні та слабкі сторони. Тому потрібно особливо враховувати індивідуальні потреби та можливості кожного підлітка. Важливо пам'ятати, що розвиток вокальної техніки – це постійний процес, і він вимагає часу та терпіння. Індивідуальний підхід до кожного підлітка допоможе максимізувати його потенціал у вокальній сфері. Особливе значення також має самостійна робота, вона розвиває творчість та привчає застосовувати набуті знання в практичній діяльності. Також авторами статті приділено увагу психологічній підготовці підлітків до їх концертного виступу на сцені. Сценічне хвилювання ‒ це одна з форм психічного стану особистості до і під час концертного виступу. Одними з найбільш істотних моментів поведінки на сцені є його сценічне самопочуття, ступінь хвилювання. Щоб значно знизити рівень страху сцени, викладач повинен підвищити психологічну стійкість виступаючого. Для цього необхідно зміцнити впевненість підлітка у своїх здібностях через доброзичливість та оптимізм. Потрібно постійно розвивати почуття краси та естетики на сцені і у житті. Учні-підлітки повинні бути переконані, що кожен виступ – це свято, і що кожен успішний виступ – це естетична насолода для глядачів. Метою статті є розкрити основні принципи методики вокальної підготовки учнів підліткового віку в рамках цілісної системи поглядів на процес навчання співу. Наукова новизна. Визначено основні проблеми та принципи особливостей методики вокальної підготовки учнів підліткового віку. Як висновок, у статті наголошується, що викладач співу повинен дуже уважно спостерігати за вокальною формою співака-підлітка, його можливостями, інтересами, відстежуючи ймовірні технічні похибки та помилки, застосовуючи творчий підхід до педагогічного процесу, художню та педагогічну інтуїцію.

Atopic allergy resulted from exposure to HDM allergens in Amara city: southern Iraq
Authors: Abdullah Younus Jasim
Published: April 2024

House dust mites (HDM) are small creatures that live indoor in warm, moist places. Several studies found that HDM are important sources of airborne allergens that cause different allergic symptoms all over the world. With this mind, 200 persons suffering from different allergic symptoms were randomly selected in the current study aged between 7-60 years old from both gender. They all subjected to skin prick test by using standard allergen solution for HDM allergens Dermatophagoides farinae (D.F) and Dermatophagoides pteronussinus (D.P). The results showed that most frequent allergic disease related to exposure to HDM was asthma and allergic bronchitis(33 % and 28% respectively). Female sex have the higher percentage of response(61%) than males(39%). Also, the urban society were more sensitive than rural. Furthermore, workers were more allergic than employees. In conclusion: we observed that sensitization to HDM allergens is associated with airways allergy such as asthma and allergic bronchitis especially in females and workers. In addition the allergic symptoms increase with urbanization.

Authors:   Colegio de la frontera, Calva Sánchez Luis Enrique
Published: April 2024

En este artículo, con base en registros administrativos, censos y encuestas, se analiza el tránsito de migrantes ecuatorianos por México que han buscado ingresar irregularmente en Estados Unidos o solicitar asilo en ese país entre los años 1998 y 2023. Se identifican tres periodos con cambios sustanciales tanto en el número de migrantes como en sus perfiles. Destaca el de 2018 a 2021 por una mayor flexibilidad para la movilidad gracias a la exención de visados para ingresar en México. Además, debido a la crisis causada por el covid-19, se observó un incremento significativo del flujo, que alcanzó niveles históricos y situó a los ecuatorianos entre los cinco principales grupos de migrantes detenidos en la frontera suroeste de Estados Unidos. Este caso ejemplifica los cambios de tránsito asociados a las crisis económicas de los países de origen, así como a las políticas migratorias de los países de tránsito y destino.
Producción, crecimiento económico y comercio internacional de México: un ensayo de diagnóstico y prospectiva*
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Ruiz Porras Antonio
Published: April 2024

La vinculación entre el crecimiento económico y el comercio internacional es fundamental para entender el desarrollo económico de México. Por esta razón, analizo econométricamente series de tiempo trimestrales de producción, importaciones y exportaciones para el periodo 1993:Q1-2022:Q4. Utilizo los resultados del análisis para hacer un ejercicio de diagnóstico y prospectiva de la situación económica del país. Las conclusiones del ejercicio sugieren que: 1) México necesita fortalecer y hacer valer sus instituciones, leyes y acuerdos internacionales; 2) México debe afrontar los retos asociados a un crecimiento económico impulsado por la depreciación del dólar, los elevados diferenciales entre las tasas de interés internacionales y nacionales y el alta inflación interna, y 3) las políticas públicas vigentes podrían inducir un nuevo episodio de «enfermedad holandesa» en México.
Pobreza, desigualdad y derechos sociales

Published: April 2024

El texto presente aborda el problema de la pobreza en la economía mexicana. Sustenta que la incidencia de la pobreza está estancada desde que tenemos datos oficiales comparables de Coneval, pese a cambios marginales. La pobreza en México tiene entre sus principales causas la distorsión del sistema laboral, pues más de la mitad de la población ocupada no gana un salario suficiente para superar el umbral de la pobreza y carece de acceso a servicios de salud y demás protecciones de la seguridad social. Finalmente, concluye mostrando las limitaciones de la política social mexicana, basada en programas sociales que no son universales y carecen del enfoque de derechos.

Published: April 2024

The composition and functional traits of plant communities and their changes along an environmental gradient are important bases for maintaining the carbon sinks of estuarine wetlands. To clarify the succession pattern of plant community in an estuary along an environmental gradient, this study considered the Liaohe Estuary wetland as the research object and divided the dominant plant community into a Phragmites australis community and high-, medium-, and low-density Suaeda salsa communities. We employed redundancy analysis, variance decomposition, and multiple regression to examine the impact of an environmental gradient on the functional traits and spatial distributions of plant communities in the Liaohe Estuary wetland. The findings revealed that as the elevation decreased, the soil salinity increased and the water content decreased. The distribution of plant communities followed the order of P. australis, high-density S. salsa, medium-density S. salsa, low-density S. salsa, and bare flat areas. When the soil salinity exceeded 21 g/kg and the soil moisture content was below 17%, the conditions were no longer suitable for the growth of S. salsa or P. australis. Soil salinity, total nitrogen content, clay content, and elevation were the most critical environmental factors affecting the functional traits of the plant communities. Soil biochemical characteristics, soil texture, and the physical environment accounted for 28.9%, 23.12%, and 11.51%, respectively, of the variation in the spatial distribution of plant communities. The proportions of the suitable area for the high-, medium-, and low-density S. salsa were 13.1%, 53.78%, and 33.12%, respectively. The results provide a theoretical basis for further elucidating the degradation mechanisms of estuarine wetlands, developing an evaluation index system for estuarine wetland ecological restoration, and optimizing ecological protection and restoration strategies.
Etika Komunikasi di Era Digital dalam Fenomena Hate Speech Netizen Indonesia (Tinjauan dari Perspektif Etika Komunikasi Habermas)
Authors: Gabur Didimus Aryanto
Published: April 2024

Fokus utama artikel ini adalah memahami fenomena hate speech yang terjadi dalam kalangan netizen Indonesia melalui pendekatan etika komunikasi Jurgen Habermas. Kegelisahan penulis mengangkat tema ini berangkat dari kesadaran dan kenyataan bahwa di Indonesia seringkali dijumpai ujaran kebencian baik yang terjadi di media sosial maupun dalam dunia konkrit. Ironisnya bahwa ujaran kebencian tersebut dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang lumrah terjadi, sehingga menimbulkan pandangan bahwa ujaran kebencian bukanlah sebuah kejahatan. Namun dalam artikel ini penulis lebih menyoroti fenomena hate speech yang dilakukan dalam platform media sosial. Dalam menggarap artikel ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan menelusuri sumber-sumber pustaka yang relevan dengan tema yang dibahas. Penelusuran ini memaksudkan sebuah upaya untuk memahami dan mencari makna dari setiap peristiwa yang terjadi. Melalui pendekatan etika komunikasi yang digagas Habermas penulis menemukan bahwa maraknya fenomena hate speech seringkali terjadi karena masih banyak netizen Indonesia tidak menggunakan rasionalitasnya ketika sedang berkomunikasi dan tidak menerapkan prinsip-prinsip dasar komunikasi seperti, kesetaraan, kebebasan, dan kesepakatan.
Захисні лісові смуги – невід’ємна складова регіональної екомережі (Кіровоградська область)
Authors: Гетьман П.A.
Published: April 2024

В публікації розглянуто важливу роль захисних лісових смуг Кіровоградської області в розбудові регіональної екомережі. Запропоновано 26 нових екокоридорів, що показані на картографічній схемі, з включенням захисних лісосмуг, представлено їх структуру та видове багатство. Визначено щільність екомережі та особливості екокоридорів. В західній – найменш розбудована екомережа, тому запропоновано з’єднати Долинівський екологічний центр біологічного різноманіття з Кам’янобрідським та Вільхівським, Лебединський з екокоридором, що з’єднує Клинівський та Кам’янобрідський в двох місцях, Липовенківський з Кам’янобрідським та Калмазівським, Журавлинський з Осичківським, Калмазівський та Осичківський з Новолутківським; в східній – найбільш розбудована екомережа, тому запропонували з’єднати Куцеволівський, Пролетарський та Ганнівський з межою Дніпропетровської області; в північній та центральній частині області щільна забудова і велика кількість автошляхів. Тому на півночі з’єднали Подорожнівський з межою Черкаської області, Юхимівський з Іванківським, Тясминський з екокоридором, що поєднує Плешківський та Диківський; в центрі – Дідово-Балківський з Великосеверинським, Олексіївський з Іванівським, Іванівський з Вишняківським та Трудолюбівський з Піщанським. В південній частині запропоновано з’єднати Донченський, Піддубнівський, Устинівський та Ставраковський з межею Миколаївської області, Великодрюківський з Донченським, Олександрівський з Гурівським, Жовтневий з екокоридором, що з’єднує Піщанський та Ганно-Леонтовицький. Новостворені екокоридори є осередками збереження степової рослинності. Крім цього, в досліджених захисних лісосмугах знайдено 7 регіонально рідкісні види рослин для Кіровоградської області та 1 – внесений до Європейського червоного списку та Червоної книги України, 1 – до Червоної книги України, Європейського червоного списку, Червоного списку Міжнародного союзу охорони природи. Таким чином, збереження біорізноманіття та видового багатства є основою для включення захисних лісосмуг до елементів регіональної екомережі.

Регіональний ландшафтний парк «Тилігульський» (Миколаївська область) охоплює площу 8195,4 га cхідного узбережжя Тилігульського лиману і його акваторії. Під час весняних експедицій 2023 року було досліджено популяції чотирьох видів рідкісних ефемероїдів, які охороняються на державному та міжнародному рівнях: Crocus reticulatus, Galanthus elwesii, Gymnospermium odessanum, Adonis vernalis. Досліджені види в основному зростають по схилах балок та їх улоговин. На 1 м2 у місцях найбільшої щільності особин C. reticulatus нами виявлено: 5 ювенільних, 6 імматурних, 4 віргінільних та 10 генеративних особин. C. reticulatus росте у добре збережених степових ценозах між куртинами Stipa capillata, Festuca valesiaca, Agropyron cristatum. Galanthus elwesii було знайдено на схилах балки Атаманки та її відрогах в тих місцях, де схили поросли чагарниками (Prunus spinosa, Crataegus monogyna, Rosa canina та R. corymbifera). Найчисельніші локуси популяції знаходяться в улоговинах відрогів балки і піднімаються більше на південну експозицію схилу. В місцях найбільшої щільності на 1 м2 відзначається зростання 121 особин: 35 ювенільних, 10 імматурних, 14 віргінільних та 62 генеративних. Gymnospermium odessanum росте вище по цих чагарникових схилах (балка Атаманка), на схилі північної експозиції в сухому тогорічному листі чагарників. Щільність особин дуже низька: на 1 м2 нами нараховано 10 особин в різних станах онтогенезу: 2 ювенільних, 2 віргінільних та 6 генеративних. По степових схилах досліджених балок зростає Adonis vernalis. Щільність особин не велика. На 1 м2 в середньому по одній- дві куртини виду в генеративному стані. Зростає разом з C. reticulatus між тогорічними стеблами Stipa capillata. Встановлено, що основу рослинного покриву місцезростань рідкісних ефемероїдів формують степи класу Festuco-Brometea (Festucion valesiacae, Stipo lessingianae-Salvion nutantis). Улоговини цих балок заростають чагарниковими угрупованнями класу Rhamno-Prunetea.
Energy Lobbying in the Decision-Making Process of the European Union
Authors:   University of Szczecin, Kochanek Ewelina
Published: April 2024

Lobbying is part of social life and constitutes an informal path of inﬂuencing politics at the national and international levels. The EU is a prime example of an organisation wherein Member States act as lobbyists trying to inﬂuence EU policy. The energy transformation that has begun is a process that is particularly dependent on the shaping of climate and energy policy at the European Union level should one compare it to previous socio-technical transformations, with interest advocacy playing an important role in this process. This article aims at examining and explaining the activities and inﬂuence of Germany’s lobbying on the shaping of energy policy in the European Union (EU). The subject of the research is Germany’s lobbying strategy based on the Europeanisation of the country’s energy transition (in German, Energiewende). The research shows that lobbying activities have had the intended effect of Europeanising Germany’s Energiewende, which has allowed for increased innovation in technology and as well as increased production of products from the broader environmental sector. Furthermore, these activities have created new jobs in the sector, which has kick-started and strengthened the German economy. In conclusion, the more resources a Member State has and the longer it has been a member of the EU, the better the conditions are for effective lobbying.
The Atypical Forms of Employment Acceptance by Polish Full-Time Employees as per Modern Labour Market Rules in an EU-Country Context
Authors:   Warsaw University, Pawłowska Anna
Published: April 2024

This manuscript is dedicated to atypical forms of employment which are a response to transactional relations between the employee and the employer on the modern labour market. The general research question is whether employees who accept atypical forms of employment (or “AFE”; readiness to providing work) obtain beneﬁts in the form of high employability and well-being as well as low levels of job insecurity. The assumptions and the research scheme are new compared to previous studies. A quantitative CAWI study was conducted on a sample of Polish full-time employees (N = 543), as potentially voluntarily declaring their acceptance of AFE. In addition, well-being was operationalised according to C. Ryff ’s approach as a sense of agency in the creation of the professional environment. The respondents were divided into two groups – those accepting AFE and those accepting traditional, long-term employment, in reference to the concept of transactional and relational psychological contract. The regression analysis shows that the ﬁrst group had a high level of employability. However, they achieved low levels of well-being, and job insecurity was not signiﬁcant. These are individuals in managerial positions in the private sector. On the other hand, the group that accepts the traditional form of relationships are public sector employees and have high job insecurity only. An important determinant of the acceptance of AFE is the so-called “Big Five trait” openness. In addition, the level of acceptance decreases with age. Gender and education are not statistically signiﬁcant. The focus in this paper on full-time employees, and the beneﬁts of AFE, ﬁll the research gap in this area. It also delivers recommendations for labour market practices and policy on how to support employees on the modern labour market in EU countries.

Published: April 2024

The relationship between thyroid and testis is well understood, and the association between changes in thyroid function and male infertility has been reported. However, the contribution of thyroid dysfunction to male infertility is not sufficiently addressed in our setting. This study aims to assess the thyroid hormones level among males undergoing investigation for infertility and to establish correlations between thyroid hormones and sperm indices. Thyroid hormones were determined in 150 infertile males and 50 fertile male controls. Semen analysis was done according to the World Health Organization criteria while thyroid hormones were determined using Enzyme linked Immunosorbent assay technique. The measured anthropometric data, sperm indices and thyroid hormone levels were compared using appropriate statistical tools. Serum triiodothyronine, and thyroxine levels were significantly lower (p < 0.001), while thyroid stimulating hormone was higher among infertile males than control subjects. The body mass index of the infertile subjects was significantly higher (p < 0.011) than control subjects. Of the 150 subjects, 41.33% (62/150) were euthyroid, 7.33% (11/150) had subclinical hypothyroidism while 51.34% (77/150) had overt hypothyroidism. Among the 88 altered thyroid function, 6.82% (6/88) had normozoospermia, 44.32% (39/88) had oligozoospermia while 48.86% (43/88) were azoospermia. The area Under the Curve of T3 (0.858), T4 (0.765) and sperm count (0.875) were able to differentiate fertile men from infertile subjects. Thyroid disorders are prevalent among infertile men and should be considered in the laboratory assessment of male infertility cases. Including thyroid function tests in the investigative panel can help identify and manage potential thyroid-related factors contributing to infertility. This comprehensive approach ensures thorough evaluation and targeted treatment for better reproductive outcomes in affected individuals.

Published: April 2024

In Colombia, African palm oil is produced at a big scale and it is mainly used for biodiesel production. This process generates a significant amount of by-products, such as palm tree and glycerin, which have important nutritional characteristics. The aim of this investigation was the evaluation of the effect of the mixture of palm tree and glycerin on the development of a bovine alimentary supplement. For the formulation of the supplement, the content of raw fiber was evaluated using the gravimetric method, and the content of protein using Biuret’s method based on albumin, to three combinations (45% palm tree, 17,5% glycerin; 50% palm tree, 12,5% glycerin, and 55% palm tree, 7,5% glycerin). It was determined that the formulation with better nutritional content was 45% palm tree, 55% glycerin, since this combination contributes the metabolizable protein required for the animal (12,9%). The calorific capacity contained in glycerine (3,500 Kcal/kg) gives the necessary energy for bovine’s maintenance and growth, besides, it helps to enhance digestion. The fiber content is adequate to improve the rumen function, stimulate salivation, palatability and a better intake of nutrients by bovines.

Verbena officinalis L. and Chenopodium ambroisoides L. are plants with different properties and medicinal, psychostimulant and therapeutic components that contribute to human well-being. A study of the functional groups present in the leaves and stems of Verbena officinalis L. and in the fruit, leaves and stem of Chenopodium ambroisoides L. were carried out by two processes of extraction of the solution in fresh and dry raw material, which were by soxhlet and cold maceration (using anhydrous alcohol), the purification of the solutions obtained in each case was carried out by simple distillation. In addition, a drying curve of the two studied plants was elaborated, where it was found that in the verbena as in the paico the leaf is dehydrated more easily compared to the other organs studied. Also the method of extraction by soxhlet was more efficient to find a greater number of functional groups, through a preliminary phytochemical analysis performed.

This study was developed in the municipality of Sutatausa Cundinamarca in a farm located in the Vereda de Palacio on the outskirts of the town, where a small production of Organic Sweet Quinoa equivalent to about 800 square meters was studied. Several visits were made from the beginning of production to the development and completion of the harvest. This new farmer in the market of Quinoa specialized in the production of peas, but due to the great reception that has received for the production of quinoa in the sector, I am making the decision to start production. In the municipality there are several farmers of this cereal dedicated not only to the production of quinoa, but also the processing and sale of products such as cookies, milkshakes, organic quinoa cereals. An organic production is characterized by the use of NO chemicals, the care of the seedlings by means of the natural cycle of production, besides that these types of productions are not massive, but rather in small quantities. The products of this type in addition to being much healthier for human consumption, have a better texture and more defined colors. The main purpose is to develop an administrative and management tool that allows these small farmers to make decisions regarding their production and thus obtain competitiveness in the national market. This is intended to be carried out through a case study in which, through observation and surveys of the owners of the production process, the data obtained is collected and analyzed to comply with the purpose of the investigation.

The following research was aimed at the analysis of the chemical and microbiological adulteration of two samples of bovine milk; a bronca, from the municipality of Facatativá and an entire one, marketed by a chain store located in the city of Bogotá. To this end, physico-chemical and microbiological tests were carried out which are currently used in the dairy industry to assess milk quality. It was found that the density values obtained are lower than those reported by the normativity and that therefore whole milk and bronchial milk are only adulterated by water; which does not generate the development of pathologies in the people who consume it, but, because it contains fewer nutrients than those reported in the table of nutritional content, it does not fulfill the values expected by the consumer.

Published: April 2024

The Amazonian part of Caquetá is a strategic zone for armed groups. Their presence in this area, in addition to generating social and humanitarian problems, has caused environmental damage by exploiting the area’s natural resources for their own benefit. A clear example is that this area in particular has an extensive water network, the Caguán River, which is a strategic route for drug trafficking, both fluvial and terrestrial, which is why, among many other aspects, this project focused on this place, which paradoxically has a great biodiversity but has been a central axis of the serious environmental damage that this large part of the western Amazon has suffered for decades.
