Reflecting the Nation: Costa Rican Cinema in the Twenty-First Century
Authors: Harvey-Kattou Liz
Published: January 2020

This chapter argues that cinema has been the primary creative vehicle to reflect on national – tico – identity in Costa Rica in the twenty-first century, and it begins with an overview of the industry. Considering the ways in which film is uniquely positioned to challenge social norms through the creation of affective narratives and through the visibility it can offer to otherwise marginalised groups, this chapter analyses four films by key directors. Beginning with an exploration of Esteban Ramírez’s Gestación, it considers youth culture, gender, and class as non-normative spaces in the city of San José. Similarly, Jurgen Ureña’s Abrázame como antes is then discussed from the point of view of its ground-breaking portrayal of trans women in the capital. Two films shot at the geographic margins of the nation are then discussed, with the uncanny coastline the focus of Paz Fábrega’s Agua fría de mar and the marginalized Afro-Costa Rican province of Limón the focus of Patricia Velásquez’s Dos aguas.
Some Concluding Remarks
Authors: Harvey-Kattou Liz
Published: January 2020

The conclusion of the book revisits and answers the initial questions described in the introduction: who or what counts as tico? How have challenged to national identity been constructed in the country? It posits that the wave of nationalist rhetoric seen globally in this second decade of the twenty-first century stems from the same processes and beliefs that created the tico norm, thus creating fierce oppositions within nations between those wanting an end to exclusionary national identities and those who want to build up their borders even further.

On Manuscripts: Virginia Woolf and Archives
Authors: Golden Amanda
Published: January 2020

This chapter considers the space of the archive as one in which the writer, like the reader, creates and interprets texts. Golden argues that Woolf associated manuscripts with the physical space they were written in and viewed manuscript alterations as insight into the unknown past of a literary work.

Woolf as a Model Builder: Complex Form in the “Ode to Cutbush”
Authors: Hammond Adam
Published: January 2020

This chapter argues that literary studies is returning to the concerns of the modernist period and interests of Woolf. Hammond draws on complexity theory to present Woolf as a model builder: she understood that the form was interactive and so provides impressions rather than telling reader what exists.

Taste and the Tasteful: Woolf, Radclyffe Hall, and the Culture of Queer Elitism
Authors: Stone Aaron J.
Published: January 2020

This chapter considers Woolf's belief that 'high art' should deal only indirectly with sex (let alone queer sex), and how this helped shape a culture of queer elitism among modernists. Stone uses Woolf's less than enthusiastic involvement in Hall's obscenity trial to argue that she considered such reformist literature as decidedly middlebrow.

This chapter revisits two major points in Woolf's essay 'Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Brown' - that human nature changed in or about December 1910, and that novelists have become too caught up in 'things' as they try to understand human character.
“Propaganda for peace”
Authors: Nanney Lisa
Published: January 2020

The narrativization of early film during its transition from one-reel nickelodeon attraction to full-length multi-reel feature incorporated the story-telling devices and perspectival conventions of the novel. Dos Passos’ firm grasp of these conventions is evident from his novels of that period, including Manhattan Transfer (1925) and the beginnings of U.S.A. His earlier war novels One Man’s Initiation: 1917 and Three Soldiers (1921), drawing from his own military experiences, demonstrate his understanding also of the emotional and behavioral impact of film and the beginnings of his exploration of how film achieves its power. His military training showed him how movies could be exploited to incite aggression, compel conformity, and overwhelm individual thinking. But by incorporating into his early novels the strategies of film editing developed by pioneers such as D.W. Griffith, Dos Passos was attempting to recreate film’s powerful potentials as a means to elicit individual thought and democratic activism. His use of film as subject and signifier in his modernist novels and his adaptation of cinematic technique in their forms are central to their response to the possibilities and the threats of the machine age that fostered the rise of cinema.
“The world’s greatest center of … propaganda”
Authors: Nanney Lisa
Published: January 2020

The years 1934-37, during which Dos Passos undertook three film projects, were critical in Dos Passos’s literary career and political thought. He believed that capitalism was another of the monolithic forces of the machine age, like the military, that could eradicate individual self-determination. But he saw increasing danger in Stalin’s repressive regime and what he considered American Communists’ subordination of workers’ interests to Party ideology. His nascent political ambivalence emerges in the first two volumes of U.S.A., The 42nd Parallel (1930) and 1919 (1932). By 1934, when he accepted a short-term contract as screenwriter for Paramount, he was engaged in work on the third volume, The Big Money (1936), and his experiences while working on a film vehicle for Marlene Dietrich, The Devil Is a Woman (1935, dir. Josef von Sternberg), solidified his conviction of the complicity between the Hollywood “dreamfactory” and capitalism to stoke American consumer culture. While the manuscript of the Paramount film shows signs of Dos Passos’s aesthetics, it is The Big Money’s film-inflected narrative representation of the corruption of the industry that articulates the impact of both the formal and the cultural dynamics of film on his work.
Locating the Gothic in British Modernity
Authors: Wiseman Sam
Published: January 2020

The late-Victorian era has been extensively researched as a period of Gothic literature, and this study seeks to build upon this body of work by connecting the content of such studies to the early decades of the twentieth century. Beginning with the quintessentially urban Gothic space of fin de siècle London, as represented in classic texts such as Dracula and Arthur Machen’s The Great God Pan, the study proceeds to ask how the themes and energies which emerge in this moment evolve throughout the early twentieth century. In the ghost stories of authors like M.R. James, the Edwardian era witnesses an uncanny return to the rural English landscape, in which modernity encounters the re-emergence of suppressed fears and forces. After World War One, London again experiences a renewal of Gothic themes, with figures such as D.H. Lawrence and T.S. Eliot representing the city as a stricken and desolate space, haunted by the trauma and ghosts of the recent conflict. That legacy of violence and loss is also evident in rural representations of place in the 1920s and 1930s, along with a renewed interest in supernaturalism and paganism found in authors like Sylvia Townsend Warner and Mary Butts. Ultimately, this study argues, this period of dramatic social and cultural change is shadowed by a corresponding evolution in Gothic literary representation, whether that is expressed through modernist experimentation or more conventional narrative forms.
Introduction
Authors: Wiseman Sam
Published: January 2020

This introduction situates the project within existing scholarship on the Gothic, modernity, and the British landscape. It stresses that the book can be differentiated from other studies of Gothic modernity both in its de-privileging of literary modernism and its specific emphasis upon place. There follows a chapter summary emphasizing thematic linkages between chapters, including the concepts of the uncanny, animism, the weird and the eerie, which are elucidated with reference to secondary texts by authors including Sigmund Freud and Mark Fisher. It also notes the dialectical character of the book’s themes and content, as it traces the evolution of relationships such as those between the Gothic and the modern, the rural and the urban, invasion and emergence, concealment and revelation.
The Strangely Mingled Monster
Authors: Wiseman Sam
Published: January 2020

This chapter explores the ways in which London is established as the central site of Gothic modernity in literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines this literature in terms of broad movements or dynamics: the invasion of the metropolitan centre (as in Stoker’s Dracula); the conceptualization of the city as divided between dangerous and secure spaces (as in Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde); the pollution of those spaces by the Gothic threat (as in Machen’s The Great God Pan); and a centrifugal movement towards the suburbs (as in Machen’s The Hill of Dreams). Fin de siècle London, this chapter argues, should not be seen as an end but a beginning: it is a cultural moment in which the evolving relations between the Gothic and modernity manifest themselves in new ways of representing place.
Conclusion
Authors: Wiseman Sam
Published: January 2020

This conclusion argues that, as the foregoing chapters have demonstrated, there is an evolution of the British Gothic in both urban and rural contexts throughout the period covered by this study, reflecting the idea that modernity tends to carry the Gothic with it, always evolving in tandem. This conclusion emphasizes that the timeframe of this study is contemporaneous with the processes of British decolonization, noting that this points towards the evolutions of the Gothic to follow. Looking to the Gothic of World War Two and the postwar world, we can observe strains of the Gothic rendered increasingly complex and allusive by their relation to the literature analysed here, and in turn to the deeper history of Gothic literature.
DEVELOPING A CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION USING PARTIAL LEAST SQUARES STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING
Authors: Wang Liang , Zhang Ping , Ma Li , Cong Xuhui , Skibniewski Miroslaw J.
Published: January 2020

Sustainable construction is vital for the embodiment of sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility practice is critical for
construction firms to realize sustainable construction. However, the link between sustainable construction and corporate social responsibility is still in its infancy,
and previous studies have not developed comprehensive methods for evaluating sustainable construction performance. We first established a conceptual corporate social
responsibility framework based on the five aspects of sustainable construction: economic, environmental, social, stakeholders, and health and safety. Then, a set of
criteria assessing sustainable construction performance was identified through a literature review and interviews with industry practitioners. A questionnaire survey
was conducted to collect primary data and identify the significance of the proposed criteria. Furthermore, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM)
was used to statistically validate the conceptual model and identify key factors for sustainable construction. The results revealed that health and safety, and environment
are the key aspects, while site inspection and audits, providing a healthy and safe working environment, effective emergency management procedures and safety supervision,
compliance with environmental laws and regulations, reducing pollution and waste, and corporate environmental management system are critical to achieving sustainable
construction. Our study underlines the link between sustainable construction and corporate social responsibility, improves the evaluation accuracy, and provides new
guidelines for practical applications.
S62 on a 9.9 yr Orbit around SgrA*
Authors: Peißker Florian , Eckart Andreas , Parsa Marzieh
Published: January 2020

We present the Keplerian orbit of S62 around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) in the center of our Galaxy. We monitor this S-star cluster member over more than a full orbit around SgrA* using the Very Large Telescope with the near-infrared instruments Spectrograph for INtegral Field Observations in the Near Infrared (SINFONI) and NAOS+CONICA (NACO). For that, we are deriving positional information from deconvolved images. We apply the Lucy–Richardson algorithm to the data sets. The NACO observations cover data from 2002 to 2018, and the SINFONI data cover 2008–2012. S62 can be traced reliably in both data sets. Additionally, we adapt one KECK data point for 2019 that supports the reidentification of S62 after the pericenter passage of S2. With

and a periapse velocity of approximately 10% of the speed of light, S62 has the shortest known stable orbit around the supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy to date. From the analysis, we also derive the enclosed mass from a maximum likelihood method to be 4.15 ± 0.6 × 106

Resolving the FU Orionis System with ALMA: Interacting Twin Disks?

Published: January 2020

FU Orionis objects are low-mass pre-main sequence stars characterized by dramatic outbursts several magnitudes in brightness. These outbursts are linked to episodic accretion events in which stars gain a significant portion of their mass. The physical processes behind these accretion events are not yet well understood. The archetypal FU Ori system, FU Orionis, is composed of two young stars with detected gas and dust emission. The continuum emitting regions have not been resolved until now. Here, we present 1.3 mm observations of the FU Ori binary system using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The disks are resolved at 40 mas resolution. Radiative transfer modeling shows that the emission from FU Ori north (primary) is consistent with a dust disk with a characteristic radius of ∼11 au. The ratio between the major and minor axes shows that the inclination of the disk is ∼37°. FU Ori south is consistent with a dust disk of similar inclination and size. Assuming the binary orbit shares the same inclination angle as the disks, the deprojected distance between the north and south components is 0.″6, i.e., ∼250 au. Maps of 12CO emission show a complex kinematic environment with signature disk rotation at the location of the northern component, and also (to a lesser extent) for FU Ori south. The revised disk geometry allows us to update FU Ori accretion models, yielding a stellar mass and mass accretion rate of FU Ori north of 0.6 M

Published: January 2020

Little is known about the properties of the accretion flows and jets of the lowest-luminosity quiescent black holes. We report new, strictly simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the nearby stellar-mass black hole X-ray binary GS 2000+25 in its quiescent state. In deep Chandra observations we detect the system at a faint X-ray luminosity of

erg s−1 (1–10 keV). This is the lowest X-ray luminosity yet observed for a quiescent black hole X-ray binary, corresponding to an Eddington ratio L
X/L
Edd ∼ 10−9. In 15 hours of observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, no radio continuum emission is detected to a 3σ limit of <2.8 μJy at 6 GHz. Including GS 2000+25, four quiescent stellar-mass black holes with L
X < 1032 erg s−1 have deep simultaneous radio and X-ray observations and known distances. These sources all have radio to X-ray luminosity ratios generally consistent with, but slightly lower than, the low-state radio/X-ray correlation for stellar-mass black holes with L
X > 1032 erg s−1. Observations of these sources tax the limits of our current X-ray and radio facilities, and new routes to black hole discovery are needed to study the lowest-luminosity black holes.
VVV Survey Microlensing: The Galactic Latitude Dependence
Authors: Navarro María Gabriela , Minniti Dante , Pullen Joyce , Ramos Rodrigo Contreras
Published: January 2020

We search for microlensing events in fields along the Galactic minor axis, ranging from the Galactic center to −3.°7 < b < 3.°9 using the VISTA Variables in the Via Láctea (VVV) survey near-IR photometry. The new search is made across VVV tiles b291, b305, b319, b347, b361, and b375, covering a total area of about 11.5 deg2. We find a total of N = 238 new microlensing events in this new area, N = 74, which are classified as bulge red clump (RC) giant sources. Combining them with N = 122 events that we had previously reported in the Galactic center (VVV tile b333), allows us to study the latitude distribution of the microlensing events reaching the Galactic plane at b = 00 for the first time. We find a very strong dependence of the number of microlensing events with Galactic latitude, a number that increases rapidly toward the Galactic center by one order of magnitude from

° to b = 0° with a much steeper gradient than with Galactic longitude. The microlensing event population shows a flattened distribution (axial ratio b/a ≈ 1.5). The final sample shows a shorter mean timescale distribution than the Galactic plane sample for both the complete population and RC stars.

Evidence for a Dichotomy in the Interior Structures of Jupiter and Saturn from Helium Phase Separation
Authors: Mankovich Christopher R. , Fortney Jonathan J.
Published: January 2020

We examine the comparative thermal evolution of Jupiter and Saturn, applying recent theoretical results for helium’s immiscibility in fluid metallic hydrogen. The redistribution of helium in their interiors proceeds very differently for the two planets. We confirm that, based on Jupiter’s atmospheric helium depletion as observed in situ by the Galileo entry probe, Jupiter’s interior helium has differentiated modestly, and we present models reconciling Jupiter’s helium depletion, radius, and heat flow at the solar age. Jupiter’s recently revised Bond albedo implies a higher intrinsic flux for the planet, accommodating more luminosity from helium differentiation, such that mildly superadiabatic interiors can satisfy all constraints. The same phase diagram applied to the less massive Saturn predicts dramatic helium differentiation, to the degree that Saturn inevitably forms a helium-rich shell or core, an outcome previously proposed by Stevenson & Salpeter and others. The luminosity from Saturn’s helium differentiation is sufficient to extend its cooling time to the solar age, even for adiabatic interiors. This model predicts Saturn’s atmospheric helium to be depleted to Y = 0.07 ± 0.01, corresponding to a He/H2 mixing ratio 0.036 ± 0.006. We also show that neon differentiation may have contributed to both planets’ luminosity in the past. These results demonstrate that Jupiter and Saturn’s thermal evolution can be explained self-consistently with a single physical model, and emphasize that nontrivial helium distributions should be considered in future models for Saturn’s internal structure and dynamo.
Detection of Missing Baryons in Galaxy Groups with Kinetic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich Effect
Authors: Lim S. H. , Mo H. J. , Wang Huiyuan , Yang Xiaohu
Published: January 2020

We present the detection of the kinetic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect (kSZE) signals from groups of galaxies as a function of halo mass down to

using the Planck cosmic microwave background maps and stacking about 40,000 galaxy systems with known positions, halo masses, and peculiar velocities. The signals from groups of different mass are constrained simultaneously to take care of the projection effects of nearby halos. The total kSZE flux within halos estimated implies that the gas fraction in halos is about the universal baryon fraction, even in low-mass halos, indicating that the “missing baryons” are found. Various tests performed show that our results are robust against systematic effects, such as contamination by infrared/radio sources and background variations, beam size effects, and contributions from halo exteriors. Combined with the thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect, our results indicate that the “missing baryons” associated with galaxy groups are contained in warm-hot media with temperatures between 105 and 106 K.
Trophic ecology of hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica: integrating esophageal lavage and stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N) analysis
Authors: Méndez-Salgado Estefania , Chacón-Chaverri Didiher , Fonseca Luis G. , A. Seminoff Jeffrey
Published: January 2020

Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), considered Critically Endangered, have several small populations in the Eastern Pacific (EP). Knowledge about their diet and habitat use can aid in developing conservation strategies and promoting population recovery in the region. Although considered a spongivore in the Caribbean, data from the EP region indicate that hawksbills consume a wide array of prey species, including angiosperms. We used two approaches to study the diet of hawksbills at Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica: oesophageal lavage and stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N) analysis of bulk skin tissue and blood plasma. Lavage samples collected from 41 turtles revealed macroalgae as the predominant diet item (Rw = 20.22), followed by sea snails and excavating worms. Stable isotope values for blood plasma from 44 turtles ranged from -23.0‰ to -15.7‰ for δ13C and 6.9‰ to 10.4‰ for δ15N, whereas values for skin tissue were -20.4‰ to -13.9‰ and 9.3‰ to 11.0‰ for δ13C and δ15N, respectively. We compared these isotope values with those of five potential prey groups (sponge, sea snail, excavating worm, mangrove, macroalgae) using a multisource stable isotope mixing model analysis in R (SIAR). Our results indicated that multiple prey resources are important for hawksbills in Golfo Dulce, where sea snails, sponges and excavating worms contributed up to 63% of the assimilated diet per individual, and mangrove and macroalgae up to 50%. These data show that hawksbills in Golfo Dulce, and perhaps the wider EP region, are omnivorous, underscoring the importance for considering alternative habitats, aside of coral reefs, for its management and restoration.
Intake of different food sources in the first zoeae stages of Macrobrachium tenellum (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Published: January 2020

The objective of this work was to assess the acceptance of live and inert food by Macrobrachium tenellum during the early larval stages. The larvae were obtained by collecting wild ovigerous females in the Ameca River in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. Eight treatments (diets) were used to feed the larvae: D1, control (fasting); D2, micro-pulverized food (Purina®); D3, living, newly hatched nauplii of Artemia franciscana (INVE®, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA); D4, commercial paste containing microalgae (Instant Algae Rotifer Diet®); D5, water extracted from a biofloc system; D6, cooked egg yolk; D7, newly hatched and frozen nauplii of A. franciscana (INVE®, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA); D8, nutritional supplement for shrimp larvae (Epifeed LH1®). Treatments D2, D5, D6 and D8 showed traces of food in the digestive system. The larvae did not consume D3 and D7 treatments. The diets that had more acceptance were micro-pulverized food, a nutritional supplement for shrimp larvae Epifeed® LH1, cooked egg yolk, and biofloc water.
The influence of habitat on the spatio-temporal dynamics of fish assemblages in a lagoon-estuarine system of the Mexican Pacific
Authors: Romero-Berny Emilio I. , Velázquez-Velázquez Ernesto , Schmitter-Soto Juan J. , Salgado-Ugarte Isaías H.
Published: January 2020

Fish assemblages change significantly with physical and chemical characteristics of water; however, their response to the variability of geomorphic habitats has been rarely evaluated in lagoon-estuarine in one of these systems of the Mexican Pacific. Spatio-temporal variation of fish assemblage structure was assessed for three habitats: lagoon, estuarine, channel and inlet. The hypothesis was that sheltered areas support comparatively higher richness and abundance of fish species, with more small-sized specimens than the most exposed areas. We found that the ichthyofauna differed significantly among habitats. Several species were smaller in the lagoon compared with the other habitats, suggesting a use of the lagoon as a nursery ground. Moreover, dominant species for the lagoon were rarely found or absent in the inlet, whereas others were found only present or with higher abundance in the inlet. Although seasonal differences in richness and composition were detected, the evidence of fish-habitat associations for many species was noticeable regardless of seasonality, probably due to a high percentage of resident species during the annual cycle. The lagoon supports a greater abundance and species richness, due to a more sheltered and structured habitat, evidencing habitat-driven segregation in fish assemblages, and an aspect that should be incorporated for management of coastal ecosystems.
Distraction Machines? Augmentation, Automation and Attention in a Computational Age
Authors: Fazi M. Beatrice
Published: January 2020

It is often argued (and feared) that the human capacity to pay attention is being transformed by computational technologies. Are computing machines distraction machines? This article takes this question as its starting point in order to address concerns about attention deficits visà-vis
questions and issues about the mechanisation of cognitive procedures. I will claim that, when approaching the attention ecology of the twenty-first century, it is necessary to differentiate between augmentation and automation. While augmentation implies the extension of predefined
forms or modes of behaviour, contemporary developments in computational automation ask us instead to consider the possibility of moving beyond phenomenological analogies. The article will thus discuss how transformations in the capacity to pay attention in a computational age need to be analysed
in relation to the emergence of quasi-autonomous artificial cognitive agents driven by AI technologies, such as those known as machine learning. I will argue that these artificial cognitive agents can no longer be described in terms of technological add-ons to pre-existing human cognitive
capacities. Today, we think alongside machines that are, is a sense, already thinking. Similarly, we pay attention alongside machines that are, in a sense, already paying attention. The challenge for philosophy and cultural theory is that of moving beyond 'projectionist' conceptions of such
technological agency. This challenge, however, also involves overcoming the anthropomorphism that is implicit in expression such as 'thinking machines'. In a century where robot-to-robot communications have outpaced and outnumbered human-machine interactions, these artificial cognitive agents
are not just reframing the human capacity to pay attention: they are also re-structuring the conditions for such capacity. Addressing the conditions for attention beyond augmentation and vis-à-vis computational automation involves considering the role and scope of both human
and algorithmic decisionmaking, and engaging with the ways in which the humanities can intervene upon contemporary complex cognitive scenarios.
Michel-Ange, l’esclave de la chapelle Sixtine
Authors: Métral Florian
Published: January 2020

La Renaissance a offert à la postérité l’image de Michel-Ange comme artiste idéal, affranchi de sa condition d’artisan et rivalisant avec les personnages les plus influents de son temps, voire avec Dieu lui-même. Pourtant, sa vie comme son art sont profondément marqués par les figures de la captivité, de la sujétion, du labeur et de la souffrance, qui émergent en particulier à l’occasion de la décoration, entre 1508 et 1512, de la voûte de la chapelle Sixtine à la demande du pape Jules II. La perception que Michel-Ange a de lui-même en esclave entre alors en tension avec l’affirmation progressive de son statut de faiseur d’images « divines ». L’analyse de ce phénomène permet ainsi d’approcher sous un angle inédit les mécanismes poétiques de l’art de Michel-Ange, qui fluctuent, de manière constante, entre l’orgueil de l’artiste divin et l’humilité de la créature de Dieu.
La théologie chrétienne face au transhumanisme. « Un monde d’hommes sans âge qui vivront comme des dieux »

Le transhumanisme est un phénomène difficile à saisir parce qu’il comprend des aspects économiques, scientifiques, industriels, philosophiques et aussi mercantiles. Cet article veut comprendre le transhumanisme par une série de trois convergences : celle des nouvelles technologies ( n anotechnologies, b iotechnologies, technologies de l’ i nformation et sciences c ognitives), celle de la pensée économique ultralibérale avec les possibilités nouvelles offertes aux humains pour augmenter leurs capacités, enfin convergence avec la crise anthropologique contemporaine où le transhumanisme se présente comme solution de remplacement. Deux exemples exposés permettent de comprendre des manières de réagir de la part de théologiens chrétiens. Le premier vient du théologien protestant Guilhen Antier et l’autre du Groupe de recherche en anthropologie chrétienne du Theologicum .

Published: January 2020

Background:

The learning process for student and recently graduated nurses during their transition to professional nursing is stressful and challenging. The aim of this study was to describe recent graduates' experiences of developing professional competence in their basic nursing program and during their first year.

Method:

A qualitative descriptive design with an inductive approach based on interviews with 11 nurses, with a qualitative content analysis.

Results:

Recently graduated nurses experience shortages and struggle to develop their professional competence. They find that reflection is a fundamental tool in the process of professional competence development. The competence gap is not between theoretical and practical knowledge, but rather between the university and health care organizations.

Conclusion:

Focusing on the intertwining of theoretical and practical knowledge can bridge the gap between these two organizations and create a foundation for lifelong learning of professional competence. Creating opportunities for reflection is central to the learning process.

Can Family Caregivers Provide Life Review to Reduce Depression in Older Adults With Dementia?
Authors: Miyawaki Christina E. , Brohard Cheryl , Chen Nai-Wei , Rubin Allen , Willoughby Svetlana
Published: January 2020

Life review (LR) therapy has received considerable support as an effective treatment for depression among older adults. Researchers believe that providing LR does not require extensive training and can be done by family members who are not psychiatric professionals. If so, then training family caregivers to provide LR is a potential strategy for alleviating the shortage of resources for treating depression among the growing population of older adults experiencing depression. A pilot study that explored the feasibility of that strategy had mixed results. Seventeen (89%) of 19 caregiver–care recipient dyads completed the current study, and caregivers provided the LR with self-reported fidelity. However, there was lack of statistically significant improvement in this convenience sample. Implications are provided for future assessments of this strategy with a larger study of caregiver and care recipient dyads. [

Desigualdad hídrica en la región hidropolitana de Oaxaca de Juárez, México
Authors: Hernández Miguel Hernández
Published: January 2020

Este trabajo analiza la configuración de desigualdades hídricas en una región donde las comunidades están articuladas en términos administrativos, políticos e hídricos por la ciudad de Oaxaca de Juárez. Así, desde una lógica urbanocéntrica la ciudad se convierte en la gran organizadora de los recursos hidrológicos, creando una región hidropolitana donde las periferias urbanas pueden fungir como abastecedoras de agua para consumo doméstico y al mismo tiempo receptoras de aguas residuales. Esta situación, además de producir desigualdad hídrica en la cuenca del río Atoyac, genera conflictos socioambientales en toda la región.
Inégalités environnementales et opportunités de marché dans le resguardo de Guambía (Cauca‑Colombie)
Authors: Díaz Diana Carolina Ospina
Published: January 2020

Cet article vise à montrer comment les propriétés environnementales inhérentes aux terrains agricoles qui composent le resguardo de Guambía en Colombie, donnent lieu à un accès différentiel aux ressources nécessaires aux détenteurs de ces terrains pour répondre aux demandes des marchés agricoles en vigueur. Ces demandes, affectées par des politiques publiques, créent et recréent des inégalités sociales par l’accès différentiel aux ressources requises. Il apparaît ainsi que les inégalités environnementales ne peuvent être saisies sans considérer les contextes sociaux et historiques vécus par les individus. Dans le resguardo de Guambía, cette inégalité d’accès aux ressources tient en grande partie au caractère rural et de montagne de ce territoire où les étages thermiques, mais aussi l’accès différentiel à des ressources telle que l’eau, rendent les terrains plus ou moins adaptés à la production de certaines cultures agricoles. L’analyse des inégalités environnementales au sein du resguardo de Guambía, permettra de mieux cerner la complexité et le dynamisme des rapports sociaux qui y ont lieu. Cette approche permettra en outre de considérer les inégalités environnementales comme étant des inégalités sociales.
Competence Training for Project Management
Authors: Marcelino-Sádaba Sara , Perez-Ezcurdia Amaya
Published: January 2020

Organizations currently need project managers that are capable of performing in environments where change has gained great relevance. To accomplish this, these professionals must possess very diverse skills. On the other hand, project management is a young discipline that requires research to help us understand how to develop these skills. This chapter provides a holistic research framework proposal that is based on four elements: competences, approaches, scenarios, and levels of analysis. We affirm the importance of the meta-cognition competency, which is not commonly mentioned in previous studies but has proven to be very useful for a professional development that is self-regulated, reflective, and experience-based, with emphasis on the opportunities offered by new technologies. Two fundamental challenges are introduced: achieving a list of unified competences and transferring individual competences to the project teams and the organizations where these competences are displayed.
Risk Management in Small Hydroelectric Power Plants (SHPPs) in Colombia
Authors: Villamarin Gustavo Alberto , Díaz-Piraquive Flor Nancy
Published: January 2020

Although Colombia has more than 50 years of experience developing hydropower projects, the recent Hidroituango project crisis has opened the debate regarding risk management (RM) in generation power projects, especially for non-conventional renewable energy sources (NCRES) where there are no academic studies for Colombian case. This chapter develops a methodological proposal based on PMBOK, ISO standard, and Colombian technical standards, that will allow identification, assessment, and management of the risks inherent in small hydroelectric power plant (SHPP) projects. All this in the context of the opportunities generated by Law 1715 of 2014 and the mega global trend of transition from fossil sources of energy to NCRES. The methodology was built based on: a state of the art review, an expert's knowledge consultation, and a Delphi expert's assessment analysis. The result is a project risk management methodology that includes: holistic identification of risk variables in SHPP projects, assessment of experts and response to inherent and residual risks.
Project-Based Organizations
Authors: Birollo Gustavo , Fajardo-Moreno William Stive
Published: January 2020

Project-based organizations coordinate their activities using projects. These projects act as temporary and almost independent organizations that directly interlace the project-based organization with their customers. This complex interface is characterized by the existence of divergent interests between the two organizations. Therefore, project managers become crucial agents to handle this interface in order to accomplish the project's goals. By analyzing the retrospective accounts of twenty-four project managers, this chapter found that the project managers' actions that fostered the establishment of a relationship of trust and collaboration with their customer can be divided into four dimensions: providing knowledge, contextualizing the project, keeping the information flow, and boundary spanning. The authors argue that these project managers' actions and the generation of interaction spaces with the customer have an important impact on the development and success of the project.
Adopting Communications Management Practices in Project Management
Authors: Galvis-Ardila Jazmín , Anduquia Lenin Valencia , Diez-Silva H. Mauricio
Published: January 2020

This chapter deals with the adoption of communication management practices applied by project managers in Colombia. It has become a priority in project management practices in the past decade, but the research field and knowledge domain has seen limited empirical evidence. Therefore, it verifies the influence of the application of these types of practices against performance indicators obtained in projects. To carry out this preliminary study, leaders of companies from different sectors of Bogota in Colombia were interviewed under a mixed-methods approach. It was verified that the practices currently applied have a low adoption rate, but they are influential for achieving success in project management and highlight the importance of these types of techniques for the performance of the planned work. This study aims to generate the option of applying unconventional approaches to manage communication in projects that allow for improving performance rates in companies.
Sustainability Supply Chain Orientation Bibliometric Agenda
Authors: Ocampo Pablo Cesar , Prada Ricardo , Rueda Milton Januario
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this document is to present the evolution of the supply chain with different points of view, from the perspective of the main authors on the subject, in order to show the benefits and difficulties faced in carrying out the sustainable orientation of the supply chain (SSCO). For this research, it is necessary to take into account from which point each of the definitions that helped reach the concept of SSCO was born and how the concept has changed over the years. It is interesting to note that currently the concept does not have a specific definition, because it is in a boom in recent years, which makes it an attractive topic to investigate and learn more in depth. In Colombia it has very few exponents of the subject. Therefore, researching SSCO can generate a competitive advantage in the industry for supply chains that compete in the interior and exterior of the country.
The Market for Socially Responsible Investments
Authors: Camilleri Mark Anthony
Published: January 2020

This chapter explains how socially responsible investing (SRI) has evolved in the last few decades and sheds light on its latest developments. It describes different forms of SRI in the financial markets and deliberates on the rationale for the utilisation of positive and negative screenings of listed businesses and public organisations. It also presents key theoretical underpinnings on the subject and reports that the market for the responsible investments has recently led to an increase in contractors, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and research firms who are involved in the scrutinisation of the enterprises' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials. This contribution raises awareness on the screenings of positive impact and sustainable investments. It puts forward future research avenues in this promising field of study.
