Published: July 2023

High demand for shallots needs to be supported by an increase of yield in each region. The use of high-yield cultivar is one of the ways that can be done to increase the productivity of shallot conducted. Bangka has a soil of the Ultisol type, so adaptive cultivars on the land are indispensable. The research was carried out at the Experimental and Research Garden of Universitas Bangka Belitung. This study aims to determine the potential yield of onions and adaptive onion cultivars in Bangka Ultisol soil. The method used is a Randomized Block Design (RBD). Consists of 5 cultivars, such as Ambassador 1, Ambassador 2, Violetta, Keramat, and Maja Cipanas. Violetta is the most adaptive cultivar, that can grow to the height of the plant and the number of leaves that are almost equivalent to the onion plant planted in its native place. The onion cultivar that has the best yield potential to be grown in the Ultisol land of Bangka Regency is the Violetta cultivar because the weight of the bulbs and the number of bulbs produced are almost equivalent to the onion plants grown in their native area.

The process of cultivating odot grass by some breeders is still conventional through simple land management and has not used appropriate fertilization technology, both inorganic and organic fertilizers. In this study, organic matter in the form of bokashi sludge biogas fertilizer was used as a basal fertilizer for use in the cultivation of odot grass. Soil samples collected from Kawangu Village, Pandawai District, East Sumba Regency, were analyzed at the Laboratory of Nusa Cendana University, Kupang. Soil sampling was carried out in a composite manner on plots of land to be planted with odot grass with an area of 2 x 1 m where 20 plots of land had been made. The plots of land were treated with a mixture of different bokashi sludge biogas fertilizers in soil media with each treatment, namely without bokashi fertilizer, 10 t ha-1 biogas bokashi sludge fertilizer, 20 t ha-1 biogas bokashi sludge fertilizer, 30 t ha-1 biogas bokashi sludge fertilizer, 40 t ha-1 biogas bokashi sludge fertilizer. The results of the combined criteria for soil chemical properties showed that the status of soil fertility in odot grass cultivation without bokashi sludge biogas fertilizer was in the medium soil fertility category, while the treatments with bokashi sludge biogas fertilizers of 10 t ha-1, 20 t ha-1, 30 t ha-1, and 40 t ha-1 were at high soil fertility levels.

Published: July 2023

One of the activities of cultivating pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) requires soil that has good fertility. One of the important soil fertility parameters for pakcoy plant growth is the availability of macro nutrients. Inceptisol is a soil that is quite extensive and has the potential to be developed but has problems in soil fertility. The purpose of this study was to determine the macronutrient status of inceptisol planted by pakcoy. The research was conducted in Kertanegla Village, Bojonggambir District, Tasikmalaya Regency, in January-February 2022. The method used in this study was a descriptive quantitative analysis of macro nutrients from soil analysis results. The results showed that the measured value for nitrogen was 0.1%, phosphorus value was 21.00 mg 100 g-1, and potassium was 41.00 mg 100 g-1. Based on these values, the macronutrient status at the study site, namely the nutrient status of nitrogen, was low, phosphorus was medium, and potassium was high.

Published: July 2023

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has severely strained healthcare systems worldwide, necessitating the implementation of various biosecurity measures by governments to mitigate further virus transmission. Consequently, researchers have increasingly focused on developing automation technologies to minimize direct human contact. However, within healthcare centers, some work assistance processes still rely on inefficient methods wherein each worker fills out an assistance form in the presence of a supervisor. This outdated approach not only leads to time wastage but also introduces errors in the records. To address this issue, we propose the development of a wireless automatic attendance control system utilizing a Raspberry Pi device. This system will be implemented for the staff of healthcare centers, enabling them to record their entry and exit times using either a mobile device or a fingerprint reader. The recorded data will be accessible through a user interface and securely stored in the cloud. By adopting this system, it will be possible to monitor and enforce labor discipline among workers automatically. Through the implementation of the attendance control system, we have observed its optimal functionality, achieving an efficiency rate of 97.16% in registering and storing the entry and exit times of all workers in the database. This level of efficiency is deemed acceptable, given the swift and secure nature of the process.

It is shown that composite ion irradiation of a thin NbN film to a fluence of 8.5*10^16 cm-2, smaller than the optimal one (10*10^16 cm-2), can be used to create cryogenic integrated resistors if the values of the operating currents of the device are greater than all the characteristic transition currents for irradiated and stabilized by annealing films. At the same time, smaller resistance values per square are realized, which allows one to create smaller values of integrated resistance. It is demonstrated that annealing of the irradiated film at a temperature of 600 ° C leads to a partial return of superconducting properties and is accompanied by the appearance of two superconducting transitions at critical current densities of 0.45*10^6 A/cm^2 and 1*10^6 A/cm^2, which must be taken into account when it is necessary to use stabilizing annealing at elevated temperature.

Proximity effects in structures with helimagnetic ordering are investigated. Structures with sharp boundaries were prepared by magnetron sputtering. Results indicating a change in the magnetic state of a helimagnet under the influence of superconductivity were obtained by polarized neutron reflectometry. A new type of structure with alternating layers of a superconductor and a rare-earth helimagnet is proposed for studying magnetic proximity effects. The results of studies using X-ray methods and atomic force microscopy demonstrate the high quality of the obtained structures.
Анти-ян-теллеровское диспропорционирование и перспективы спин-триплетной сверхпроводимости в соединениях d-элементов

Published: July 2023

We argue that the unusual properties of a wide class of materials based on Jahn-Teller 3d and 4d ions with different crystal and electronic structures, from quasi-two-dimensional unconventional superconductors (cuprates, nickelates, ferropnictides/chalcogenides, ruthenate SrRuO4), manganites with local superconductivity to 3D ferrates (CaSr)FeO3, nickelates RNiO3 and silver oxide AgO with unusual charge and magnetic order can be explained within a single scenario. The properties of these materials are related to the instability of their highly symmetric Jahn-Teller "progenitors" with the ground orbital E-state to charge transfer with anti-Jahn-Teller disproportionation and the formation of a system of effective local composite spin-singlet or spin-triplet, electronic or hole bosons moving in a non-magnetic or magnetic lattice. These unusual systems are characterized by an extremely rich variety of phase states from non-magnetic and magnetic insulators to unusual metallic and superconducting states.

In this work we present a model explaining the properties of magnetoelastic waves propagation in the heterostructure containing an antiferromagnetic layer on a non-magnetic elastic substate. The dispersion characteristic of magnetoelastic waves in such structure was obtained, and the effect of variation of the thickness of the antiferromagnetic layer and the external magnetic field on the frequency of the magnetoelastic resonance on the elastic structure was also studied. It was found that an increase in the magnetic field magnitude leads to the increase with pressure of the magnetoelastic resonance frequency, and, on the contrary, with an increase in the thickness of the AFM layer the magnitude of the magnetoelastic resonance frequency decreases. The results obtained can be used to create devices for generating and processing signals in the gigahertz and terahertz frequency ranges.

The mechanisms of spin wave propagation in a magnonic-crystalline structure, which is a width-modulated magnetic microwaveguide loaded with a piezoelectric layer with a system of counter-pin electrodes, are considered. Computational modelling based on the finite element method has been used to estimate the transformation of the internal magnetic field in a magnonic crystal under the action of elastic deformations. The shift of the frequency band of the Bragg resonance and the depth of regression of the spin-wave signal at the frequency of the Bragg resonance when an electric potential is applied to the electrodes are observed. It is shown that changing the polarity of the electric field can effectively control the characteristics of the propagating spin waves and the spatial distribution of the dynamic magnetization intensity in the multiferroic structure.

The results of systematic experimental studies of the magnetic state and crystal structure of multilayer films based on a ferromagnet/heavy metal pair (Co/Pt) by optical magnetometry, magnetic force microscopy, Lorentz and analytical transmission electron microscopy are presented. It is shown that with an increase in the number of Co/Pt periods in the films, an increase in the average size of crystal grains is observed, which leads to an increase in the dispersion of perpendicular anisotropy and, as a consequence, to a decrease in the size of magnetic domains and magnetization reversal fields. In addition, in films with n≥6 periods, the domain wall becomes hybrid; has an intermediate structure between the walls of the Neel and Bloch types.

The properties of the ground state of one of the simplest models of frustrated magnetic systems, a dilute Ising chain in a magnetic field, are considered for all values of the concentration of charged non-magnetic impurities. An analytical method is proposed for calculating the residual entropy of frustrated states, including states at the boundaries between the phases of the ground state, which is based on the Markov property of the system under consideration and allows direct generalization to other one-dimensional spin models with Ising-type interactions. The properties of local distributions and concentration dependences of the composition, correlation functions, magnetization and entropy of the phases of the ground state of the model are investigated. It is shown that the field-induced transition from the antiferromagnetic ground state to the frustrated one is accompanied by charge ordering and the absence of pseudo-transitions in the dilute Ising chain is proved.

The effect of temperature on the electron-stimulated desorption of lithium atoms from the surface of 2D semiconductor LixAuy intermetallic compounds in the temperature range from 160 to 300 K was studied. LixAuy intermetallic compounds were formed during the deposition of lithium atoms on gold film 2 monolayers thick at room temperature. An island mechanism for the formation of LixAuy intermetallic compounds has been proposed. The decrease in the yield of electronically stimulated desorption of lithium atoms from the surface of LixAuy 2D semiconductor intermetallic compounds with decreasing temperature is associated with a decrease in the probability of capturing an excited electron into the conduction band into a local state near the bottom of the conduction band. The calculation by the density functional method showed that 2D LiAu layers form semiconductor compounds, the band width of which decreases with increasing thickness of the 2D LiAu layer.

The peculiarities of the behavior of high-frequency conductivity of disordered
semiconductors associated with the hopping transport of electrons in the impurity band with
increasing temperature were studied. Via the pair approximation, it is shown that the transition
(crossover) observed at low temperatures (T ≈ 1 K) in the terahertz frequency range from an
almost linear to a quadratic frequency dependence of the real part of conductivity can stay on
with increasing temperature and be caused by the transition from relaxation conductivity with a
variable-range (frequency-dependent) hopping distance to phononless conductivity with a fixed-
range hopping distance.

Low-temperature thermodynamic properties of spin ice have been studied for compounds with the structure of antiperovskite containing rare-earth ions with the general chemical formula Romeo (where Re is a rare-earth element, Me is a divalent metal). The calculations were carried out in the cluster approximation. The cases of undistorted and distorted ORE 6 octahedron are discussed. In the case of an undistorted octahedron in the absence of an external magnetic field, the ground state of the system is infinitely degenerate. When an external magnetic field is applied, anomalies in the temperature dependences of heat capacity, entropy and magnetization are detected. In the case of a distorted octahedron and assuming that this distortion leads to the energy efficiency of two of the sixty-four configurations, it is obtained that there is a phase transition in the system of magnetic rare-earth ions

A qualitative study method was used and purposeful sampling procedures were used to select participants. Research instruments included open-ended interviews and recordings from twenty mathematics teachers in selected junior secondary schools in the Zambezi Region. Results of the study indicate that teachers understand the concepts of LCT and have adequate training and knowledge on the benefits and teaching approach in LCT due to the inclusion of the LCT methods in teacher education and other training workshops. However, the study also found that most mathematics teachers use only cooperative learning during teaching and learning mathematics. The study also identified significant challenges teachers face in implementing LCT, including overcrowded classrooms, lack of resources, and learners’ lack of motivation. Considering the above findings, the study recommends that the government and stakeholders support teachers with resources and further staff development opportunities.

Language Ideologies and the Use of Mother Tongues as the Medium of Instruction and Learning in Junior Primary Schools: A Case Study of Parents and Teachers in a Namibian School
Authors: Katukula Kelvin Mubiana , Set Beatha , Nyambe John
Published: July 2023

In the Namibian education system, teaching in the junior primary is supposed to be done in the learners’ mother tongue. However, there is always controversy on adopting a language to be used as a medium of instruction (MoI) due to the multi-ethnic and multilingualism of the Namibian society. To make matters worse, parents equally cast doubt on enrolling their children in schools that uses mother tongue as an MoI. Framed within the qualitative case-study orientation, this research investigated: parents’ and teachers’ language ideologies and beliefs; the factors that informed the embodied and expressed language ideologies and beliefs of parents’ and teachers’; and how these dominant language ideologies and belief systems informed parents’ and teachers’ choice of language of instruction and the general implementation of the language policy in a Namibian school. The study found that both parents and teachers harbored monolingual ideological belief systems that did not only construct and perpetuate an “English-only” language zone but also banished all mother tongue languages from the school premises. Not only do the findings point to the hegemonic positioning of the English language in the minds of parents, teachers, and school principals as the only language that can lead to success, but its violation was punishable in a derogatory manner. The study concludes that, among others, parents, teachers, and school principals’ language ideologies and beliefs were shaped and informed by the prevailing English language hegemony. The liberal and duality stance of the Namibian language policy, and its decentralization, partly resulted in parents, teachers, and school principals’ neglect of the multilingualism and heterogeneity that the very same policy purports to advocate. The study recommends raising parents’ and teachers’ awareness of embracing the heteroglossia of language practices and for the ministry of education to consider a more inclusive language policy.

Authors: Odalonu Boris Happy
Published: July 2023

This study examined the socioeconomic effect of banditry in Niger State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The data for the study were collected from primary and secondary sources. The content-analysis technique was adopted to analyze and categorize the data collected into key themes of the study. The study is anchored on situational action theory that explicated the reasons behind the rising banditry in Niger State. Findings revealed that the drivers of banditry in Niger State were attributed to poverty, unemployment, large swathes of ungoverned forest reserves, thriving illegal mining activities, the porosity of borders, proliferation of arms and a weak security system. It also revealed that banditry activities have led to the displacement of residents, payment of huge ransoms, abandonment of means of livelihood, and shortage of food and have triggered an adverse socioeconomic crisis for the people. Based on the findings, the study recommended that the ungoverned forests where the bandits operate need to be combed by the military personnel through an air raid and community policing should be established and equipped with security tools to enable them to secure the various communities against banditry, Nigerian porous borders should be blocked to prevent the influx of foreign criminal elements and bandits into the country, the security agencies manning the borders should be strengthened and technologies such as closed circuit cameras, drones, and other technologies should be deployed at the borders to enhance maximum security and more security personnel should be deployed to rural communities that are mostly affected by the activity of bandits.

This paper is based on the results of the cross-sectional experiment that was implemented in the school year 2021/2022 among women students in the first year of bachelor studies at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education (FSPE) in Leposavić, University of Priština (temporarily allocated in Kosovska Mitrovica). The study design model was implemented during the obligatory course Outdoor activities (2nd semester, weekly classes 1 + 4, and 15 + 60 classes per semester) for the first time. Body composition assessment was realized along with the pedagogical practice of summer outdoor activities camp on Gazivode Lake in Kosovo (as a practical exam study curriculum requirement). The sample includes seven women FSPE students. Based on the body composition and health status assessment, students’ results are presented in figures (for the evaluation of measured variables) and diagrams for estimating the individual student’s results. Comparative analysis of results within the group was used, considering the differences among examined students regarding calculated mean values, recorded min and max results, and confidence interval. The student profile model scores were selected according to the best results achieved in general placement in most variables and evaluated regarding the case study report. The results were evaluated based on the digital system for the assessment of body composition (Omron BF511) and the interpretation of results for the following variables: Body Fat (BF%), Visceral Fat (VF), Skeletal Muscles Percentage (SM%), Body Mass Index (BMI), and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Health status assessments were performed by an electronic digital blood pressure monitor (Prizma YE660E) for the measurement of Systolic (SYS), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DIA), and Resting Heart Rate (RHR). The results show the expected intra-group differences in body composition parameters, which are not inherited conditionally, for all selected body parameters (except for BMI). However, most of the values are in the recommended range, especially those with small percentages of high BF% and BMI, as well as SM% values, indicating the heterogeneity of the participants, their sports orientation, health status, and level of physical activity.

The Future of Nature Prophesied in the Select Futuristic Science-fictions of H. G. Wells
Authors: Roy Malay
Published: July 2023

Eco-criticism is one of the most recent interdisciplinary fields of study to have risen in the domain of literature which includes ecology, ecosystem and various other environmental issues relating to nature and its myriad aspects. Also, the discussions in the domain have increased significantly. For the last three decades, the environment has been facing a whole range of threats by the human-centric present day society. Also, the environmental consciousness in literature is a matter of vital concern for the scholars and the academic alike, and the subsequent emergence of the green theory, i.e. Ecocriticism is a remarkable addition. It is a field of study wherein nature and literature are mingled. As natural resources are being used injudiciously, the ecological environment is fast losing its poise and equilibrium. The cycle of seasons is fast turning irregular leaving the environment with a whole range of limitations and existential hazards for the entire human race. This crisis is not a recent phenomenon. Rather, it has been continuing since the Victorian age–the age of rapid industrialization, which consequently led to various disastrous phenomena, such as deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution etc. Various scientific experimentations and developments have also brought harm to nature. The present paper attempts to show how H.G.Wells in his two novels, namely The Time Machine (1895) and The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896) prophesied the future of the environment in the light of the ideas laid down by the enterprise of science. The paper showcases how the characters of Wells forecast in their course of intersecting and interacting the two different natural worlds and play the role of a mediator between the two civilizations–one natural and the other reigned by science and the future. Through the literary analysis, the paper attempts to analyze not only the interrelationship shared between the human and the non-human worlds, but also, it lays bare the otherwise unwelcome outcomes of the man-nature interactions. In continuation of the analysis, the paper exhibits the demolition of the civilization as well as the environment through the film versions adapted by George Pal and David Duncan in 1960 and 2002 respectively under the same titles. In yet another novel titled The Island of Doctor Moreau(1896), Wells has shown how animals have been exploited for the sake of science and experimentation. The paper concludes how nature is confronting a great threat by the deliberate negligence of the human race, where there is a necessity to improve the correlation between human and nonhumans.

Authors: A. Agati Charlene Faye , G. Caballes Dennis
Published: July 2023

This study examined the views of practice teachers toward the inclusion of students with special education needs in the regular classroom. A total of 32 practice teachers from University of the East, College of Education, participated in the research. Mixed-Method was utilized which comprised of participants answering a questionnaire and participating in a focus group discussion. The questionnaire, My Thinking about Inclusion Scale, MTAI, (Stoiber et al., 1998) was utilized for the quantitative part of the research; while, a focus group discussion was conducted for the qualitative part which sought to uncover the perceptions of practice teachers concerning their background and training on inclusive education. Only six of the 32 practice teachers were able to join the focus group discussion. The results revealed that there is no significant difference in the practice teachers’ views on inclusive education between males and females and their degree programs. Findings also showed that practice teachers held similar positive views on inclusion. The responses of the participants in the focus group discussion unveiled that the practice teachers believed they have adequate theoretical knowledge about inclusive education; however, they still require further in-depth training and hands-on involvement and participation in conducting inclusive practices inside classrooms to effectively apply them in the future as they become licensed teachers. They also saw the importance of the support of the government and the cooperation of schools as well as parents and guardians for the successful espousal of inclusive education.

Abstract: Chronic diseases are the main reason for increase in mortality rate. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and arthritis all are chronic diseases. NCDs have a more mortality rate than other diseases. Each year, approximately 5.8 million Indians die from NCDs; globally, 41 million die from chronic diseases. Investment and prevention are two important needs for chronic diseases. It is important to discover the solution for chronic diseases. The management of these types of illnesses includes early detection, patient care, and related services. Because of the explosion of medical data, data management will become a difficult challenge. Deep learning [9] is important in big data fields such as the medical industry. Deep learning is a advancement of machine learning that is capable of performing different tasks. Chronic diseases are diagnosed using different technologies, and that is why deep learning is used to provide the best treatment to patients, resulting in a low mortality rate.
MOOC Data Analytics through Text Mining-An Innovative Approach to Learning Improvement
Authors: Ramesh Y. V. , Rao S. Shanmukh
Published: July 2023

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in the perception of education, with Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) providers like Coursera witnessing a surge in millions of new user registrations on their platforms. However, despite the prevalence of online review systems in various industries, the MOOC ecosystem lacks a standardized or fully decentralized review system. We believe that there is an opportunity to utilize existing open MOOC reviews to create userfriendly and transparent reviewing systems, enabling learners to easily identify the top courses available. By leveraging the wealth of reviews already available in the MOOC ecosystem, we can create simpler and more transparent systems that empower users to make informed choices about the courses they enrol in. In our research, we conduct an analysis of reviews from the Coursera platform with the specific goal of determining the potential value of using NLP-driven sentiment analysis on textual reviews in providing valuable information to learners. By examining the sentiment expressed in the textual reviews, we aim to evaluate whether this approach can offer meaningful insights to learners in assessing the quality of MOOCs. The results of our research suggest that textual reviews may be a more advantageous choice compared to numeric ratings due to the disadvantages associated with numeric ratings, such as the potential for random or arbitrary selections. Our findings indicate that utilizing sentiment analysis on textual reviews could provide valuable information for learners in evaluating the quality of MOOCs. By relying on the rich and descriptive information conveyed through textual reviews, learners may be better equipped to make informed decisions when selecting courses on platforms like Coursera.

Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil Using Lime and Bamboo Fiber Mixture as a Subgrade Material
Authors: Sawarkar Miss. Rutuja
Published: July 2023

Abstract: The design of pavements on black cotton soil has always been a difficult task for the engineers as the structure and pavement resting on black cotton soil cracks without any warning. Black cotton soil is most commonly found in Indian region. Soil proportion changes depending upon their constituents, i.e., water content, density, bulk density, compressive strength etc. The properties of black cotton soil can be modified by stabilizing the soil with the use of additives or by mechanical means. The aim of this project is to find the optimum percentage of lime separately and lime + bamboo fibre separately to be added in black cotton Soil and study the properties of soil. In this project an attempt has been made to stabilize the soil using lime and bamboo fibre. Initially lime is blended with black cotton soil in different proportions (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%). The experimental work included the tests carried out on virgin black cotton soil and lime added black cotton soil which are Liquid limit, Plastic limit, modified proctor, specific gravity, free swell index, C.B.R. test, unconfined compressive strength test. On the basis of the soaked CBR and Modified Proctor Values, it is determined that 6% of lime is an optimum percent which can be added to stabilize black cotton soil for road construction. So, 6% lime is added with black cotton soil and different percentages of bamboo fibres (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%). California Bearing Ration, modified proctor test, Unconfined Compressive strength test are performed on the soil mixture of 6% lime + Black Cotton Soil + different percent of Bamboo Fibre. On the basis of the soaked CBR, it is concluded that if 6% lime with 8% of bamboo fibre is blended in black cotton soil, engineering properties of BCS can be improved to such an extent that the pavements built on this soil can efficiently withstand the loads applied on it while vehicular movement. Hence, according to the results obtained from experimental study, pavement design is performed for CBR 5%, 6%, 8%. The evaluation of cost for each pavement design is carried out which shows the decrease in cost of construction of pavement as the CBR values increases.

Abstract: This review paper examines the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) in cybercrime. With the rise of IoT devices, cyber-attacks have also increased immensely, leading to new security challenges. IoT devices frequently lack the security of traditional computers, leaving them open to hacking and other forms of online assaults. Attackers can use IoT devices as a way to gain access to networks or other devices, steal data, or launch attacks. This paper gives a broad review of the security issues IoT devices pose and how cybercriminals take advantage of them. It also discusses the measures that can be taken to secure IoT devices and protect against cyber-attacks. The discussion of potential future study topics for examining how IoT is affecting cybercrime finishes the paper. Overall, this review paper highlights the importance of understanding the risks associated with IoT devices and implementing appropriate security measures to mitigate them.

Abstract: The growing incidents of missing children are a cause of concern. Child trafficking and abduction are major factors that lead to missing cases. A large number of child trafficking victims are very young. When it comes to identifying missing persons or victims of disasters, one of the biggest challenges is the difficulty of obtaining accurate facial images. Often, the passage of time can cause a person's appearance to change significantly from the photos that their loved ones may have on hand. Additionally, in cases where a person has gone missing, there may be few or no photos available to use for identification purposes. This causes a need to create a system which will help find lost children through the child face aging mechanism where only limited data such as a picture (childhood picture) is available. The proposed system will help families find their lost or missing children by uploading their pictures and providing their information through the app. Using Face Aging Generative adversarial networks (GAN) the childhood image will be reconstructed to resemble the child's face at the present time. Additionally, users will be notified if a child goes missing in their locality or area.

Published: July 2023

El análisis de políticas públicas nacionales no solo requiere reconocer la influencia de los discursos con los que se argumentan y justifican las decisiones, también se debe analizar las perspectivas locales de los actores involucrados; por tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es conocer las opiniones de los implementadores y los beneficiarios de tres diferentes regiones del país: Caribe, Santander y Amazonía, sobre la política de negocios verdes. Para tal efecto, se seleccionó, mediante la técnica de muestreo por conveniencia, a profesionales de las Autoridades Ambientales de las regiones mencionadas y empresarios de negocios verdes verificados, ubicados en sus jurisdicciones. En consecuencia, utilizando un enfoque constructivista, se asistió a talleres presenciales (observación empírica), se desarrollaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y se aplicaron encuestas descriptivas; logrando identificar construcciones disruptivas del discurso de negocios verdes en los territorios. Finalmente, se destacan como resultados principales que, existe un desgaste entre los actores que participan en la gestión pública local de la política, el ejercicio de verificar los negocios verdes y ejecutar las respectivas estrategias y actividades de seguimiento son costosas e inoficiosas y aún se presentan retos para considerar los negocios verdes como el nuevo motor de las economías municipales y departamentales en Colombia.
