Mapping of food environment policies in Zambia: a qualitative document analysis
Authors: Mukanu Mulenga Mary , Thow Anne Marie , Delobelle Peter , Mchiza Zandile June-Rose
Published: October 2023

Background

The food environment in which people exercise food choices significantly impacts their dietary patterns. Policies that limit the availability, affordability, and access to unhealthy food while increasing that of healthier alternatives help build healthy food environments, which are required to address the double burden of malnutrition. This study aimed to assess the availability of food environment policies in Zambia.

Method

We applied a two-step qualitative document analysis to identify policy content relating to healthy food environments from global and Zambia-specific nutrition-related policy documents. In the first step, global policy documents were analyzed to develop a reference point for globally recommended policies for healthy food environments. In the second step, Zambia’s nutrition-related policies were analyzed to identify content relating to healthy food environments. The identified policy content was then mapped against the global reference point to identify food environment policy gaps.

Results

Our analysis of global policy recommendations identified five broad categories of policy provisions: information and education based; regulatory and legislative tools; strategies to promote production and access to healthy food production; social protection-based strategies and guiding principles for governments relating to multisectoral collaboration and governance. Our analysis found that Zambian Government policy documents in the health, agriculture, education, and national planning and development sectors have policy provisions for healthy food environments. While these policy provisions generally covered all five reference categories, we found policy gaps in the regulatory and legislative tools category relative to global recommendations.

Conclusion

Zambia’s food environment policy landscape must include globally recommended regulatory and legislative policy measures like restricting the marketing of unhealthy foods and non-alcoholic beverages to children. Nutrition policy reforms are required to facilitate the introduction of regulatory and legislative policy measures that effectively address the double burden of malnutrition in Zambia.
Model-based assessment of interbasin groundwater flow in data scarce areas: the Gallocanta Lake endorheic watershed (Spain)
Authors: Arce Manuel , Orellana-Macías Jose Maria , Causapé Jesus , Ramajo Javier , Galè Carlos , Rossetto Rudy
Published: October 2023

Aquifer systems, because of the presence of frequently complex geological structures, may extend beyond watersheds limits. Interbasin groundwater flow is often identified among watersheds. Because geological systems are complex ones, modelling tools are needed for its estimation. In this paper, we quantify the outflows from the endhoreic Gallocanta watershed (Spain) by means of a MODFLOW numerical model in order to assess the robustness of the boundaries of the Gallocanta Groundwater Body. Our results show the Gallocanta watershed is hydrogeologically connected with the adjoining Piedra-Ortiz and Jiloca watersheds (discharging annually in these basins about 4 and 1 Mm3 respectively). Furthermore, we hypothesized the presence of geological features altering the groundwater flow. Additional simulations were run to analyse the changes in the water budget in the cases of: i) groundwater pumping no longer allowed by the authorities, and ii) a potential drought scenario. In the first case, the results forecast an increase in discharge to the Piedra-Ortiz and Jiloca watersheds, while in the second case a diminution of the outflows to the two neighboring basins is foreseen.

We then propose a larger and unique groundwater body, spanning from the Caminreal Springs on the east and the Piedra-Ortiz basin on the west, including a moving groundwater divide internal to the Gallocanta watershed. Monitoring the baseflow of the Piedra-Ortiz river and of the Caminreal Springs will allow to get information on the evolution of the groundwater resource availability in the Gallocanta watershed. Our results stress the importance of conjunctively using data and traditional geologic knowledge (i.e. surface geology maps) along with numerical modelling analyses. This holds especially true in areas, such those of hard-rock aquifers, where scarce hydrogeologic data are available, to test conceptual models, to derive and to infer information on water budgets and on the presence of relevant structural features driving the groundwater flow. This approach may lead to informed decision-making on groundwater body boundaries definition for the application of relevant groundwater management regulations.
Effects of covid-19 on the livelihoods of rural women in Ethiopia
Authors: Adisalem Samuel Tadesse , Asegie Asrat Mulat
Published: October 2023

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on people’s lives and economic activities. Women are expected to bear the impact of the impact because they are over-represented in affected sectors on the front lines of the pandemic’s response. However, no empirical evidence exists to support the effect of COVID-19 on women’s economic activities in the Ethiopian context.

Methods

This study investigated effects of COVID-19 on economic activities of rural women in Ethiopia. Thereby, a multistage sampling procedure was employed to randomly draw 263 rural women as study participants. Data were collected through interview schedules and key informant interviews. Finally, the data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. A binary logistic regression model is used to examine factors determining the effect of COVID-19 on economic activities of women.

Results

According to the findings, the most affected economic activities were remittances (94.28%), small business trade (94.06%), livestock and livestock product trading (91.30%), daily labor wages (84.82%), handcraft (72.73%), and crop production (61.32%). The logit regression result shows that irrigation use reduced the impact of the pandemic, whereas relying on remittances, market distance, and being a female-headed household exacerbated the impact of the pandemic on the economic activities of rural women.

Conclusion

The pandemic had significant impact on rural women’s economic activities. Therefore, governmental and nongovernmental organizations should support rural women’s income-generating activities by providing revolving funds with training. Using remittances for income-generating activities would also improve the income of rural women.
How does relative time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity correspond to the 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour?
Authors: von Rosen Philip
Published: October 2023

Background

More and more researchers have started to analyse device-measured physical activity data using compositional data analysis (CoDA), which has led to that the effect of relative time in different behaviours can be explored. However, there are challenges related to the interpretation of the results based on CoDA. This is partly related to that CoDA provides estimates based on the relative time that is difficult to interpret relative to the 2020 guidelines of physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Since many data cohorts do not have data on sleep, the proportion of time in physical activity may vary depending on accelerometer wear time. Therefore, there is a need to explore cut-points for relative time to distinguish between individuals that do and do not reach 150–300 min of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) per week. The aim was to establish a ratio of MVPA to awaken time that corresponds to meeting the 2020 guidelines of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults.

Method

To estimate the cut-off points of relative time in MVPA, the publicly available data from NHANES 2003–2004 was used and cut-off points were explored in different subsets of the total population. Values for sensitivity, specificity and cut-off values were explored; i) in total sample, ii) by tertiles of wear time, iii) in individuals with ± 5 min from 150 to 300 min of MVPA, iiii) in individuals with ± 5 min from 150 to 300 min of MVPA in the middle tertile of wear time.

Results

Overall, the analyses show high values for sensitivity (88–100%) and specificity (66–99%) for different cut-off values associated with 150–300 min of MVPA. Spending 2.4–4.7% of the time awake in MVPA was found to correspond to the 2020 guidelines of physical activity and sedentary behaviour.

Conclusion

Based on publicly available data from NHANES 2003–2004, spending 2.4–4.7% of time awake in MVPA corresponds to meeting the 2020 guidelines of physical activity and sedentary behaviour.

Delve deep: Seismic revolution in acquisition and model building for exploration

Published: October 2023

Sparse-node acquisition is the latest approach to improve the earth model through the inclusion of ultra-long offsets and low-frequency generating sources. The new designs of node data collections with simultaneous shooting can be deployed on a regional basis, covering thousands of square miles in a cost-effective manner. In complex geologic settings such as salt environments, salt interpretation has a direct impact on subsalt imaging. However, salt interpretation can be quite time intensive and challenging. Full-waveform inversion (FWI), as a data-driven optimization algorithm with full-wavefield modeling, has become an essential tool for earth model building. However, its use in salt tectonic contexts, especially with streamer data collection, is limited because the frequencies acquired are not sufficiently low and the offsets are not sufficiently long. The recent advancement of the objective function enables the application of an FWI workflow, coupled with sparse-node acquisition in the deepwater settings of the Gulf of Mexico, to refine the salt geometry, correct the background velocity error in subsalt, and uncover a basin's structural framework. The increased frequency content of the FWI-updated fields enables us to extract the FWI-derived reflectivity (FDR), which is an image created by the FWI nonlinear iterative process with the full wavefield. Additionally, the classic extraction of amplitude-versus-angle/amplitude-variation-with-offset parameters employs the elastic Zoeppritz formulation to obtain rock-physics volumes and explain the amplitude on the prestack image gathers, which are typically generated by Kirchhoff or reverse time migration (RTM) depth migration. The next step is to substitute these migrations with FWI and output not only the poststack FDR but use it in a prestack mode to aid amplitude analysis at an early stage of model building.
Meter-scale geologic heterogeneity in the near surface explains seismic speckle scattering noise
Authors: Bakulin Andrey , Ramdani Ahmad , Neklyudov Dmitry , Silvestrov Ilya
Published: October 2023

Complex scattering in the near surface can introduce significant distortions in deep reflection data. To model and explain these effects, a multiplicative random noise model based on the speckle mechanism of small-scale scattering has been proposed. While this model effectively captures the observed phenomena in field data, it has been considered rather abstract as it relies on random mathematical clutter to replicate the distortions. This study goes beyond by delving into the analysis of the actual meter-scale geologic heterogeneity found in carbonate formations from desert environments. By employing elastic wave propagation simulations, we show that geologic heterogeneity is equally capable of generating the observed speckle noise in field data when compared to idealized mathematical clutter. Our simulations reveal that the phase perturbations exhibit a quasi-random nature and follow a symmetric near-normal distribution, thereby supporting the validity of the multiplicative noise model and aligning with field observations. Furthermore, we discover that the spread or standard deviation of phase perturbations increases with frequency. This finding provides a plausible explanation for the loss of higher frequencies commonly seen in our data. By considering the complex waveform distortions induced by near-surface heterogeneity, our new noise model represents a significant advancement over residual statics that only account for the kinematic aspect. In summary, our study shows that geologic heterogeneity can easily generate the speckle noise observed in field data. The complex waveform distortions can be captured using quasi-random phase perturbations, as the multiplicative noise model outlines. This advancement leads to a more comprehensive understanding of the influence of near-surface heterogeneity on seismic data. Consequently, this understanding serves as a foundation for despeckling deep reflection data and enhancing the resolution of seismic imaging. These findings have significant implications for improving the quality and accuracy of seismic imaging in areas where speckle noise dominates.
Foothills seismic imaging for deep exploration in Junggar Basin — A case study
Authors: Zhao Shengtian , Iliescu Yan , Shang Xinmin , Teng Houhua , Wang Yanguang , Zhu Xianhuai
Published: October 2023

Seismic imaging for deep exploration in foothills areas is currently one of the most active endeavors on land. In response to intricate challenges posed by subsurface and near-surface geology, a robust imaging workflow for land seismic data has been successfully developed. First, turning-ray tomography constrained by uphole velocity or micrologging velocity is applied to estimate a reliable near-surface velocity model by using range-limited and full-offset first arrivals. Second, a robust and seamless initial depth velocity model is constructed for prestack depth migration (PSDM) velocity model building. This model integrates the near-surface model with a legacy subsurface model. Third, tilted transverse isotropy joint turning-ray and reflection tomography, constrained by well logs and geologic interpretation, is performed to iteratively update the depth velocity model. This approach achieves improved well ties and spatial positioning of depth images from shallow to deep horizons. In the joint tomography process, 5D interpolation is employed to reduce the trace interval of common-image gathers and increase the trace numbers or common-depth point fold. As a result, the reflection tomography performs better, especially at the gap zone between the near-surface and subsurface structures. Application of the proposed methodologies and workflow to the MiQuan foothills 3D seismic data (acquired from the south rim of Junggar Basin in northwestern China) has had significant success in imaging complex subsurface structures. The final PSDM velocity model aligns with geologic expectations, and the final depth migration offers improved delineation of deep reservoirs, revealing meaningful faulting structures within a regional anticline in MiQuan. This holds significance for seismic exploration, not only in MiQuan within Junggar Basin, but also in other regions worldwide that share similar complexities in near-surface and subsurface structures.
Gender bias in autism screening: measurement invariance of different model frameworks of the Autism Spectrum Quotient
Authors: Belcher Hannah L. , Uglik-Marucha Nora , Vitoratou Silia , Ford Ruth M. , Morein-Zamir Sharon
Published: October 2023

Background

The Autism Spectrum Quotient is a popular autism screening tool recommended for identifying potential cases of autism. However, many women with autism demonstrate a different presentation of traits to those currently captured by screening measures and assessment methods, such as the Autism Spectrum Quotient.

Aims

Different models of the Autism Spectrum Quotient have been proposed in the literature, utilising different items from the original 50-item scale. Within good-fitting models, the current study aimed to explore whether these items assess autistic traits similarly across men and women.

Method

Seventeen Autism Spectrum Quotient models were identified from the literature. Using the responses of a large sample of adults from the UK general population (5246 women, 1830 men), confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the fit of each model. Measurement invariance with respect to gender, adjusting for age, was explored in the 11 model frameworks that were found to have satisfactory fit to our data.

Results

It emerged that only two items were gender invariant (non-biased), whereas for the remaining items, the probability of endorsement was influenced by gender. In particular, women had a higher probability of endorsing items relating to social skills and communication.

Conclusions

If the items of the Autism Spectrum Quotient indeed reflect autism-related traits, those items should be rephrased to ensure they do not present a gender-related bias. This is vital for ensuring more timely diagnoses and support for all people with autism.
Single Particle Chemical Characterisation of Nanoformulations for Cargo Delivery
Authors: Saunders Catherine , de Villiers Camille A. , Stevens Molly M.
Published: October 2023

Nanoparticles can encapsulate a range of therapeutics, from small molecule drugs to sensitive biologics, to significantly improve their biodistribution and biostability. Whilst the regulatory approval of several of these nanoformulations has proven their translatability, there remain several hurdles to the translation of future nanoformulations, leading to a high rate of candidate nanoformulations failing during the drug development process. One barrier is that the difficulty in tightly controlling nanoscale particle synthesis leads to particle-to-particle heterogeneity, which hinders manufacturing and quality control, and regulatory quality checks. To understand and mitigate this heterogeneity requires advancements in nanoformulation characterisation beyond traditional bulk methods to more precise, single particle techniques. In this review, we compare commercially available single particle techniques, with a particular focus on single particle Raman spectroscopy, to provide a guide to adoption of these methods into development workflows, to ultimately reduce barriers to the translation of future nanoformulations.

Editor's Introduction: Humanities in the Loop
Authors: Goodlad Lauren M. E.
Published: October 2023

This editor's introduction welcomes readers to a new interdisciplinary undertaking. The community of practice Critical AI addresses hopes to bring critical thinking of the kind that interpretive disciplines foster into dialogue with work by technologists and others who share the understanding of interdisciplinary research as a powerful tool for building accountable technology in the public interest. Critical AI studies aims to shape and activate conversations in academia, industry, policymaking, media, and the public at large. The long and ongoing history of “AI,” including the data-driven technologies that now claim that name, remains riddled by three core dilemmas: (1) reductive and controversial meanings of “intelligence”; (2) problematic benchmarks and tests for supposedly scientific terms such as “AGI”; and (3) bias, errors, stereotypes, and concentration of power. AI hype today is steeped in blends of utopian and dystopian discourse that distract from the real-world harms of existing technologies. In reality, what is hyped and anthropomorphized as “AI” and even “AGI” is the product not only of technology companies and investors but also—and more fundamentally—of the many millions of people and communities subject to copyright infringement, nonconsensual use of data, bias, environmental harms, and the low-wage and high-stress modes of “human in the loop” through which systems for probabilistic mimicry improve their performance in an imitation game.

Authors: Khasanov Eduard , Mirzamatov Radmir , Yakupov Andrey , Yamaletdinov Marsel
Published: October 2023

Currently, in the context of Western sanctions, the main goal of the agriculture of the Russian Federation is food security and reducing import dependence. The modernization of agricultural machinery, as well as the search for new ways of pre-sowing seed treatment, will increase the germination of seeds and provide agricultural livestock with high-quality fodder legumes. The paper considers an experimental scarifier of legume seeds, which makes it possible to scarify the seeds of legumes, thereby increasing their germination. The article describes the theoretical basis for the movement of seeds along a conical surface, considers the method of discrete elements, which underlies the Rocky DEM software package, which allows modeling complex systems of models. Laboratory studies were carried out, during which the angle of repose was determined for two varieties of alfalfa seeds (Sarga and Vega) and eastern goat’s rue seeds. On the basis of the obtained modeling data, an experimental scarifier with a scarifying working unit was constructed and production experiments were carried out, during which the quality of processing and germination of seeds of oriental goat’s rue on the experimental scarifier were determined.

Published: October 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the methodological support of control procedures carried out in the process of internal control of compliance with labor legislation and accounting for settlements with personnel for wages. The internal control program developed to improve control planning serves as instructions and a means of monitoring the timely and effective implementation of control procedures. The program focuses on important areas of inspection, which contributes to the optimal organization of control activities. The internal control working document “Test for assessing the accounting system of settlements with personnel for wages”, proposed for assessing the accounting system of settlements with personnel for wages, can be used by controllers to determine areas of verification that require additional control procedures. When monitoring compliance with labor legislation, it is necessary to check the documentation of the movement of enterprise personnel. The working document “Checking the documentation of the movement of enterprise personnel” recommended for documenting the results of documentary control should be used to systematize the violations identified during the formal inspection. This allows them to be promptly eliminated and general recommendations to be formulated to prevent these violations in the future. The working document “Checking wage accruals and deductions from it” systematically reflects the operations for which violations and deviations were identified, the essence of the identified violations and recommendations for their elimination. This document allows you to identify areas in the accounting of settlements with personnel for wages, in terms of wage calculations and deductions from it, which require systematic control by the accounting service. The proposed working documents of internal control make it possible to systematize the results of control procedures and provide information to the management of an economic entity for making management decisions.
TOOLS FOR IMPROVING RESOURCES IN PLANT PRODUCTION
Authors: Lukomets Artem
Published: October 2023

Targeted and regulated management of crop production development and its resource support on the basis of the organizational and economic mechanism contributes to the achievement of goals with optimal resource consumption. As the methodological base of the study, general scientific methods, works of domestic and foreign scientists on crop production and products of its processing were used. The article considers tools for improving resource support as elements of the organizational and economic mechanism for the development of the industry. Tools for improving the resource support of crop production are an integral part of the organizational and economic mechanism and should be aimed at creating conditions for the reproduction process in the industry and import substitution of certain types of resources. The proposed tools are organized by groups corresponding to subsystems of the crop industry: technological, economic, social, environmental, organizational. The developed forecast for the development of the crop industry and the proposed measures of the organizational and economic mechanism were assessed by calculating structural shifts. Structural shifts make it possible to estimate the efficiency of shifts in the actual and predicted structure. The calculation of the shift efficiency indicates that the structure of commodity production in the forecast year within the forecast confidence interval will not change significantly, which indicates that the structure of crop production is balanced. The projected growth of crop production within the confidence interval will affect the growth of the industry's profitability by only 0.99% to 57.15%. Profitability growth is projected due to an increase in the share of oilseeds and a reduction in the share of other crop products in the structure of marketable products.
DECOMPOSITION OF FACTORS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL-ORIENTED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Authors: Topoleva Tatyana
Published: October 2023

The strategic choice of the innovative vector of Russia’s development predetermines the strengthening of the role of regionally oriented production systems (ROPS) in the context of their consistent integration into the trends of neo-industrial technological concepts “Industry 4.0” and “APK 4.0”, digitalization of the economy, the introduction of innovative solutions of the sixth technological order, the integration of science and production. Currently, only 12% of Russian regions (the leading group) are fully included in the innovation agenda. It is rather difficult to strategize innovative changes within a large country, since the regions are largely differentiated in the context of social and economic development, innovative activity, and the state of scientific and technological potential. The ability of each region to designate its own “window of opportunity” in priority activities, taking into account the imperatives of neo-industrial development, is especially in demand, as it will make innovation processes more manageable. This is especially important in the context of the tightening of sanctions restrictions and the actualization of the request to achieve sustainable technological sovereignty of Russia. The goal of decomposition of the factors of innovative development of ROPS implemented in the study is, in fact, a key preparatory stage for an integrated approach to the subsequent development of regional innovation strategies. The three-level hierarchization of factors and their substantiation by subject areas in the methodological aspect is universal both for local ROPS and for regional control systems. A detailed study of the indicated factors is the starting point for positioning the innovative profile of the ROPS and directly affects the effectiveness of the implementation of innovative scenarios in industries and the agro-industrial complex. The formation of a comprehensive understanding of the innovation situation in the regions contributes to focusing efforts on stimulating the innovation activity of the ROPS, taking into account regional specifics, which fully corresponds to the goal-setting of the Concept of Technological Development of Russia until 2030, which is scheduled to be approved this year. In the next three years, the state will allocate about 4 billion rubles to subsidize innovative technological entrepreneurship. 11 federal development institutions and 46 regional corporations of regional and interregional profile are involved in active support of the innovative development of the ROPS.
ANALYSIS OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL RESOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY IN THE TERRITORY OF THE AGRICULTURAL OBJECT
Authors: Daus Yuliya
Published: October 2023

One of the tasks of a multifactorial assessment of the solar energy resource in the territory under consideration is to assess the impact of limiting the utilized resource by the building conditions of the location of the environment. When searching for suitable enclosing structures for installing photovoltaic modules, the geometry and spatial orientation of buildings, their relative placement, and shading effects are taken into account. The purpose of the study is to develop a criterion for identifying prohibited and permitted areas of the territory of an agricultural complex for the installation of photovoltaic modules. By eliminating areas with uneven lighting conditions, the photovoltaic installation can operate at maximum efficiency. Prohibited areas for the installation of photovoltaic system modules can be considered those that are shaded during a typical summer day, as well as during the peak intensity of solar radiation on all characteristic days of the year. Permitted areas for the installation of photovoltaic system modules can be considered those that are illuminated during every day of the year. The remaining areas must either be excluded from the installation plan for photovoltaic system modules, or various methods must be used to reduce the impact of module shading on their efficiency (installation of bypass diodes, the use of various module connection schemes, etc.). Using the example of the territory of an existing agricultural processing enterprise, the possibility of installing modules on the roofs of industrial buildings was analyzed, taking into account changes in the illumination of the receiving surface of the building roof slopes for peak intensity during characteristic days of the year. With an area of the enterprise territory of 55,748 m², of which 13.8% - 7,737 m² - is allocated for development, 2,377.5 m², or 30.7% of the roofs of buildings, can be used for the installation of photovoltaic modules, taking into account the insolation conditions of the territory.

On the Theory of Modernization of Digital Education, Which Forms the Plurality of Identities and the Intellect of Students
Authors: Abylkasymova A. , Shishov Sergey , Zhumalieva L.
Published: October 2023

The article deals with the problem of developing a theory of modernization of digital education, which forms a plurality of identities and the intelligence of students. The authors proceed from the fact that the functioning of modern societies in various states is complicated by the rapidly growing diversity in the world and the corresponding change in communication technologies and industrial relations, in connection with which the relevance of managing the socio-cultural life of people and society as a whole has increased. Therefore, identification research is of great importance today. The modern multiplicity of identification properties of people is associated with the existence of two opposite process-es in the information society: assimilation and multiculturalism. The authors of the article believe that in the system of modernization education of young people it is necessary to introduce such categories as "multiple identity" (multiple identity) and the plural-ity of skills, abilities and abilities (multiple intelligences), in view of the fact that students create themselves, describe, including their skills, potential and preferences. The authors came to the conclusion that educational organizations should independently develop their own policy of social and educational assimilation of students to the universal process of education, where there are "examples" of norms and values that allow students to identify themselves as "worthy" of certain expectations on the part of teachers, teachers and educational administration. institutions. This policy should also include methods of their social integration through informational impact and interaction of teachers with students, allowing them to maintain certain rules of interactive communication. The theory of modernization learning includes both communication theory and learning theory. The versatility of modern distance education is the construction of web communities, where dialectical and democratic pedagogy is recreated, combining various models and styles of learning (the concepts of behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism are known in the education system).

Tejiendo historias. Experiencias de transformación socio-espacial desde los valores ecofeministas.
Authors: Arias Laurino Daniela , Cireddu Alessandra
Published: October 2023

La desigualdad, así como la destrucción y el control de la naturaleza tienen sus bases en el sistema patriarcal. La incorporación de los valores ecofeministas en términos socioespaciales supondría un cambio de paradigma de pensamiento –político e interdisciplinar– para afrontar la actual crisis, poliédrica y global, derivada de la dominación androcéntrica y neoliberal. Los ecofeminismos nos interpelan, como comunidad y como especie, a repensar, revalorizar y visibilizar los cuidados como concepto universal a través del cual asumirnos como seres vulnerables, interdependientes y eco-dependientes, aplicable a su vez a los animales no humanos y a los ecosistemas. Una especial atención al desarrollo de la vida cotidiana como eje sustentante de nuestras vidas resulta imprescindible, porque los entornos construidos que habitamos son soporte y representación de la sociedad y sus vínculos. Su diseño, sus políticas públicas y su tejido vecinal son determinantes en su capacidad para incluir, resignificar, y ser agente de cambio de valores que nos permitan convivir en igualdad, sanar comunidades y ecosistemas.

Published: October 2023

El Urbanismo Feminista ha impulsado nuevas formas de intervención en el diseño y gestión de la ciudad tanto desde la administración pública como desde iniciativas comunitarias, a la vez que ha desplegado Buenas Prácticas en diversos territorios. Este trabajo analiza tres casos de proyectos urbanos de hábitat popular en Latinoamérica. Evalúa los roles de las personas involucradas, las tipologías urbanísticas y edilicias definidas y las formas de organización social adoptadas, verificando el grado de asociatividad a las ideas teóricas del Feminismo dentro del urbanismo. Para ello se realizó un fichaje individual de cada caso a través de 6 categorías: Contexto, Objetivo, Actores, Estrategia, Impacto, y Rasgos del Urbanismo Feminista. Se trabajó con una matriz comparativa para relacionarlos, detectar puntos en común y destacar particularidades. Los casos analizados fueron el Barrio Intercultural “Comunidad de cambio” en San Martín de los Andes, Argentina; el Barrio “Alto comedero” en San salvador de Jujuy, Argentina, y el Barrio “Maestranza” en Santiago de Chile, Chile. Los resultados obtenidos confirman la existencia de perspectiva de género feminista en la planificación, gestión y ejecución de cada proyecto urbano, con rasgos particulares en cada caso, y permiten afirmar la eficacia de la metodología diseñada. Los proyectos fomentaron la integración socio-urbana, la amplitud de derechos para mujeres y diversidades, así como la interseccionalidad de los abordajes que contemplaron aspectos patrimoniales, reparaciones históricas, la sustentabilidad ambiental; el trabajo cooperativo como transformador del territorio, la priorización de las políticas de cuidados y el cuestionamiento de los roles de género en el reparto de tareas.

Authors: Montes Neri Gabriela
Published: October 2023

El habitar en espacios periféricos de las ciudades latinoamericanas se analiza desde distintas perspectivas debido a sus múltiples complejidades, como la falta de servicios públicos, de equipamiento, segregación y desigualdad. Sin embargo, una de las características fundamentales de la mayoría de estos espacios es que se encuentran constantemente amenazados por riesgos urbano-ambientales. En este artículo se estudia el caso de la periferia norte del municipio de Puebla, México a través de dos asentamientos informales. Estas amenazas, que en ocasiones se convierten en desastres, deben ser vistas a través de la vulnerabilidad social, ya que no afectan de manera uniforme a la población que vive en estos asentamientos, sino que son las mujeres, en su diversidad, quienes enfrentan directamente las consecuencias. Esto se debe a que tradicionalmente son las encargadas de las tareas de cuidado en los hogares y la comunidad, además de participar en la prevención y mejora de sus asentamientos, con el objetivo de preservar la vida cotidiana de sus familias y vecinos.

Luego de la gran crisis del 2001, Argentina asiste a un notorio incremento de la pobreza y la desigualdad, fenómenos que adquirieron singular agudeza en el Noroeste del país. En ese contexto, se ubica el aglomerado Gran San Miguel de Tucumán, provincia de Tucumán, fragmentado, colmado de asentamientos informales que padecen procesos de exclusión, estigmatización y marginación. Cuando las condiciones de pobreza se agudizan, y frente a la falta de respuesta del Estado, surgen alternativas de solidaridad que juegan un rol fundamental: los cuidados comunitarios. Puesto que dichas tareas suelen quedar casi exclusivamente en manos de las mujeres, este trabajo se propone indagar en el desarrollo de las dinámicas de cuidado en el marco de la vida cotidiana en barrios populares. A tales fines, se toma como caso de estudio a un grupo de mujeres del barrio La Toma (municipio de Tafí Viejo, Tucumán) que se organiza para actividades comunitarias y mejoras en su barrio. El objetivo principal es comprender sus lógicas colectivas de subsistencia y dinámicas de cuidados, con especial atención en develar de dónde surgen las percepciones sobre su espacio urbano, las formas de habitarlo, los vínculos con los distintos actores, y los roles asumidos o adjudicados. Se logra evidenciar que las mujeres se destacan dentro de su comunidad, y se esclarece la dinámica de las relaciones de poder existentes.

Las experiencias cotidianas de movilidad y exploración de los entornos urbanos son esenciales en el desarrollo biopsicosocial de niñas y niños. Sin embargo, el cambio climático, las crisis sanitarias y la percepción de inseguridad han restringido el libre acceso de las infancias a la ciudad, especialmente en contextos urbanos vulnerables. Aunque existen estudios y metodologías que, mediante maquetas o entrevistas buscan acceder a la percepción de la niñez respecto de sus experiencias en el espacio público, estos han pasado por alto el complejo factor de interdependencia en relación a sus familias y comunidad escolar, como clave a considerar. Este trabajo introduce nuevas metodologías de acción-participación que permiten triangular a estos actores urbanos, enfatizando el rol protagónico de las infancias. Por medio de encuestas y una serie de técnicas cualitativas, que incorporaron el juego, el dibujo y la puesta en escena, se logró caracterizar el camino a la escuela en una investigación diseñada con y para la niñez, involucrando a familias y escuelas. Se recogieron 375 relatos infantiles mediante una serie de experiencias coproducidas en los patios de 7 escuelas de zonas altas y vulnerables de Valparaíso en Chile. A través de estas metodologías, se logró alzar la voz de las infancias, configurar una visión holística del camino a la escuela, y corroborar que todavía los cuidados cotidianos son asumidos por las familias, con un claro sesgo de género que asigna mayoritariamente a la mujer estas responsabilidades
Florencia y el río Arno: notas para una redefinición de sus relaciones mutuas desde una perspectiva de género.
Authors: Amoroso Serafina
Published: October 2023

La aspiración principal de este artículo es que las breves notas que contiene puedan fomentar un debate político sobre la posibilidad de establecer una renovada relación, multifactorial y multiescalar, entre la ciudad de Florencia, su contexto territorial y el río que los atraviesa (el Arno), para poder replantearla sobre la base de una mirada alternativa y desde una perspectiva ecofeminista, no sólo en términos espaciales y físicos sino también en términos temporales y socioculturales. La metodología de trabajo adoptada aúna la investigación bibliográfica de tipo documental con la experiencia y observación directa de los lugares analizados. El texto se estructura en una primera parte en la que se plantean nuevas miradas y un renovado marco teórico de análisis y lectura crítica de la situación actual, en una segunda parte más historiográfica en la que se explora muy brevemente en qué términos la relación e interacción entre ciudad, territorio y río ha favorecido el desarrollo de ciertas actividades a expensas de otras, en una tercera parte de discusión de los datos analizados y, finalmente, en una parte conclusiva en la que se delinean potenciales estrategias culturales, económicas y espaciales para renovar dicha relación.
