The Role of ODL System in Promotion and Protection of the Right to Education for Women in Tanzania: Challenges and Prospects
Authors: Wawa Anna I. , Abdallah Hashil T.
Published: January 2024

Right to education is both constitutional and human right protected in the constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania. Being a constitutional right, education ought to be protected and promoted by the state apparatuses so as to ensure optimum utilization of it. Among others, establishing academic institutions is one amongst initiatives implemented by the governments to ensure access to education for all. Women being one sect of the population, considered to be disadvantageous group in the country for enjoyment of rights, including right to education. Since its inception in 1992 the Open University of Tanzania distinguished itself from traditional conventional academic institutions in the country, for adopting the ODL system that allow beneficiaries to study while continuing with other roles. Its main focus is to be a leading academic institution for affordable and quality education for all. Having the phrase ‘for all’ signifies among others, highly respect for gender and other disadvantageous groups in terms of physical disability and those who couldn’t secure access to full time study schedules in conventional Universities. This paper highlights the role played by ODL system in insuring the protection and promotion of the rights to education for women. In discussion the paper provides analysis of achievements made by ODL system in providing quality and affordable education for women vis a vis other conventional academic institutions. The hypothesis this paper intends to prove is that, ODL system is the best and reliable alternative for women to attain their educational rights once faced challenges for not being accepted in the conventional systems.
An Assessment of Challenges Primary School Teachers’ Face in the Implementation of Integrated Social Studies Subject in Rungwe District, Mbeya Region-Tanzania
Authors: Kanon Leonard
Published: January 2024

The study assessed challenges primary school teachers’ face in the implementation of Social Studies subject in Rungwe District, Mbeya region. The study applied a qualitative study approach founded on the interpretive philosophy which believes on studying issues from the natural settings i.e. realistic environment. The study was carried out in six (6) purposive selected primary schools. The study was augmented by the social constructivism theory. Use of social constructivism theory was undermined by its principle belief that the teacher just like the learner is borne independent and that he/she needs to practice such freedom wherever he/she is. The argument is that the teacher or the learner is a social and autonomous being rich of life experience and that classroom practices need to appreciate that and see that at some point, the teacher becomes the learner and the learner becomes the teacher while the two live in a fluid relationship and not that of a cat and rate relationship. The study used classroom observation, documentary review and semi-structured interview to collect data from a group of 13 participants including six Social Studies teachers, six head teachers and one school inspector officer. Collected data were analyzed using content analysis. Based on the study findings; inadequate supply of social studies T/L resources, teaching in overcrowded classrooms, shortage of qualified and experienced Social Studies teachers, lack of   acceptance level of integration body of knowledge, and lack of in-service training about implementation of the new Social Studies subject seemed to limit and adversely impact teachers’ practices. As a result, Social Studies teachers rarely taught the lesson in connection to pupils’ day to day life i.e. linking theories of the subjects to the students’ real life experience. Actively engaging teachers in any educational or curriculum innovation was seen important for future improvement.
The Relevance of Bourdieu’s Social Practice Theory to Parents’ Participation in Basic Schools
Authors: Ballang Eric
Published: January 2024

Parents’ participation in basic school management has been identified to be very paramount in the growth and development of basic schools. Many scholars have espoused the critical roles they play in various dimensions to the development of basic schools, most especially in developing countries. This study investigated the relevance of Bourdieu social practice theory to parents’ participation in basic school management. The study sought to identify how Boudieu’s Social Practice theory assertions manifested in parents’ participation in basic schools’ activities. The purposive sampling technique was used to sample PTA executives, parents and school authorities. The study adopted the exploratory research method with in-depth interviews, observation and focus group discussions as techniques for data collection. The findings from the study revealed that the parents’ traits, experience and operational environment in schools determined the ways that parents participated in the management of basic schools. This article recommends that since the mode of synergy between parents and school environment had a pertinent impact on the parents’ desire to fully participate in the management of basic schools, government and other relevant stakeholders in the education fraternity should ensure a cooperative school environment.

Authors: Kigobe Janeth , Lukindo Jesse
Published: January 2024

The present study assessed factors associated with a parental self-efficacy in helping primary school children succeed in Tanzania. The study assessed how social contextual variables, parents' perceptions of general invitation for involvement from others, parents' valence towards school, parents' skills and knowledge and parents' energy and resources are associated with parents' sense of self-efficacy. The study involved parents of grade two children in four regions in Northern Tanzania. A multilevel model showed that parents' self-efficacy was predicted by parents' perceptions of the invitations from school, parents' knowledge and skills and parents' valence towards school. These findings shed light on the need for interventions to promote teachers' skills in working with parents in primary schools in Tanzania.
An Assessment of the Structural and Process Quality in pre-Primary Education in Tanzania: The case of Rural Schools
Authors: Mabagala Daphina Libent
Published: January 2024

In recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for early childhood education (ECE) in lowand middle-income countries, including Tanzania. There is also growing awareness that unless ECE is of high quality, children may attend school but may not learn. This study sought to establish the quality of ECE programmes. It was, therefore, important that the researcher investigates whether the ECE programmes were meeting the expectations of the quality indicators and consequently the holistic needs of children in the early years. The study utilized a descriptive survey design. Data were collected throughan observation schedule and questionnaires administered to 45 pre-primary education teachers in Dodoma, Morogoro and Mwanza regions, Tanzania. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations.Findingsrevealed that infrastructure, teachers’behaviours, school leadership and child-protection measures were generally fair. While teachers’ qualifications, classroom characteristics, parents’ participation in school activities, equipment and materials were found to be unsatisfactory. By way of conclusion, unsatisfactory structural and process quality of ECEin rural areas calls forregular in-service training for teachers, improving classroom characteristics, increasing parents’ involvement in school activities, and increased budget allocations to pre-primary education (PPE). Addressing these areas can lead to better educational outcomes for children and contribute to their overall academic success.

Authors: Seni Abdallah Jacob
Published: January 2024

This study explored the bottlenecks to the inclusive higher education for students with disabilities (SWD) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzaniaand ways proposed to overcome them. The study useda qualitative approach that was informed by the phenomenological and multiple holistic case study design. A total of 158 research participants from four higher learning institutions in Tanzania were involved. They included 28 academic staff and 28 wardens who were selected through simple random selection.Others were 4 deans of students, 80 students with disabilities, 2 students’ leaders with disabilities, 8 personal assistants of students with physical impairments,and 8 heads of academic departments (these were purposively selected). The sample size was, however, determined by the point of saturation. Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussion (FGD), and direct observation where thematic analysis was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that allocation of rooms without consideration to SWDs and their personal assistants, difficulties in accessing information, unhygienic hostels, mobility difficulties, difficulties in access to preventive facilities and inadequate counselling services were part of the bottlenecks to inclusive higher education among SWD during COVID-19. The paper  suggestsways to overcome the bottlenecks to inclusive education such as allocating rooms for SWDs and their assistants, improvement of infrastructures, orientation on mobility, and purchasing facilities and equipment which improvehygiene within inclusive education. It is recommended in this paper that the universities should establish units and resource centres well furnished with necessary equipment for students with disabilities which will be responsible for all matters related to SWDs.

Authors: Mremi Josephine Donald , Olanrewaju Muraina Kamilu
Published: January 2024

This article discusses the shortage of science and mathematics teachers and its impacts on secondary schools in Tanzania. The study adopted a mixed-methods research approach. A total of eight (8) secondary schools were selected. The data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. A total of 106 respondents (98 students and 8 Science Teachers) were involved in responding to the questionnaires and interviews respectively. Quantitative data were analysed using frequency count and percentage while qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Poor performance in science subjects was revealed as the major causative of the shortage of science and mathematics teachers. Many students fail in science and mathematics; thus, the number of graduates declines. Considering that some of the science graduates join other careers, a few join teaching career. This trend of cause and effect creates a cyclic relationship between the factors and the impacts of the shortage of science and mathematics teachers. The study recommends that stakeholders should motivate students to like science, mathematics, and teaching career and ensure that they emphasize positive students’ attitudes toward science and mathematics subjects.

Authors: Mwanyasi Tumpe , Pembe Alphoncina
Published: January 2024

This study examined the collaborative strategies used by parents and teachers in managing pupils' truancy in government primary schools in Tanzania and the challenges they faced. The study was conducted in six primary schools in Kaliua district, Tabora region. A mixed-methods research approach with the convergent parallel design was employed. One hundred seventy-four (174) participants were involved, including the District Primary Educational Officer, Ward Educational Officer, parents, and teachers. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentary reviews. Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis, whereas the quantitative data were evaluated descriptively using SPSS version 26 to compute the frequency, mean, and percentages. The findings revealed that communication between parents and teachers, parents and teachers' meetings, classroom attendance, and local government involvement were being used in managing truancy. Besides, it was noted that challenges emerged when using the mentioned strategies. These challenges were mainly on the parents' side. Such challenges including parents' phone numbers being unavailable, parents’ nonattendance to school meetings, and unchecked classroom attendance. This study concludes that collaboration between parents and teachers allows them to nurture pupils while they are at home and at school. The study recommends that the government needs to educate parents to ensure effective collaboration with teachers to reduce or eliminate truancy among pupils.
Les constructions de type agroécologie : une formation hybride ?
Authors: DIAO Ousmane
Published: January 2024

This study is a lexicological contribution to the terminology of a field of specialty. It is based on the linguistic analysis of a category of words that characterizes scientific language: composition. It first presents the theoretical framework that is that of constructional morphology, defines the notion of composition in relation to derivation, and presents a typology of compounds. The paper thus distinguishes popular compounds from neoclassical compounds before isolating the hybrid formation. The analysis emphasizes the morphological complexity and the difficulty of interpreting this type of unit while noting its productivity. We, therefore, propose a qualitative study based on a morphosyntactic and semantic analysis of some environment-related concepts.
Caractérisation des unités adjectivales en créole casamançais : une tâche non aisée
Authors: BIAGUI Noël Bernard
Published: January 2024

What criteria should be used to classify adjectives? This question has been the subject of much research. Dixon (1982b) has shown that it is impossible to propose a general definition of the adjective in morphosyntactic terms, but that a notion of the adjective can nonetheless be derived from a comparison of the world's languages by observing that languages tend to have a class of words which is distinct from both the noun and verb classes (although rarely with equal clarity, as we shall see in this presentation), and which typically groups together words expressing a certain type of property. On the basis of a number of morphological and syntactic features, this article will attempt to demonstrate that the adjectival class exists in Casamance Creole and that it is distinct from both the verb and the noun.
Les femmes et les esprits entre secrets paradoxaux et « association thérapeutique » chez les Bassari du Sénégal oriental
Authors: Di Muro Icir Mimina
Published: January 2024

In this article, we analyse the way in which Bassari women and spirits work together to treat certain childhood illnesses. Before turning to the subject of the article, we offer an introduction to Bassarisocial organisation and some arguments that will help us to understand how this 'therapeutic association' takes place. These arguments in turn deserve to be explored in greater depth, but for reasons of priority and space, it will not be possible to do so at this point. More specifically, the article begins with an introduction to Bassari society and an analysis of the age system that forms the basis of the social structure of this population; it then turns to the world of spirits, their relationship with women and the conception of illness; finally, it concentrates on the 'therapeutic association' of women and spirits.
Étude comparative entre la psychanalyse et l’archivistique : relation homothétique ou similitude accidentelle ?
Authors: Samba Moussa , Dièye Mor , Kane Aminata
Published: January 2024

This article attempts to study the similarities that might exist between psychoanalysis and archiving, particularly with regard to the management and conservation of memories and traces of memory. The aim here is to see what links can be established between the functions of psychoanalysis and those of archiving. The function of archives is to put in place tools and instruments for the management, conservation and perpetuation of archival documents produced or received in the course of the activities of natural or legal persons. As psychoanalysis is considered to be the science of the unconscious, its main function is to help people live better lives through psychoanalytic treatment. This treatment involves exploring the unconscious in an attempt to resolve conflicts dating back to childhood that are weighing on people's lives. Like an archive, these conflicts are stored in the unconscious as a "fund of facts and memories". Through a process that is both empirical and reflexive, we will try to establish links between psychoanalysis and archivistics, either through a homothetic relationship or an accidental similarity.

Signature Verification System Using SSIM In Image Processing
Authors: Dr. Megha Rani Raigonda  , Shweta
Published: January 2024

The verification of signatures is an essential function in several domains, including financial, legal, and administrative processes. Thanks to advancements in image processing, automatic signature verification methods have become more popular. Using structural similarities and image analysis, the proposed research offers a novel approach to signature verification. To compare and assess signatures, it uses the SSIM index. The procedure begins with pre-processing the signature pictures to improve their quality and eliminate any artifacts or noise that may have been obtained from Adobe's stock library. Then, the structural similarity between the reference signature and the input signature is calculated. The perceptual resemblance of two images is measured using structure, contrast, and brightness. The goal of the proposed research is to use this measure to record the signature's structural features and spot changes or deviations. The SSIM value that comes out of the comparison is checked against a threshold that has already been set. To validate an input signature, the calculated similarity must be greater than a certain threshold. The document is marked as suspicious or possibly falsified if it does not comply. Experimental results have shown that the method is effective in differentiating between authentic and counterfeit signatures. By doing away with the need for subjective human judgment and physical examination, this technology provides a reliable and unbiased way to authenticate signatures. Increased automation and trust in signature authentication systems are possible because to the proposed method's encouraging results in accurately differentiating genuine signatures from fakes.
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SERUM VITAMIN D AND CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Agung Nugroho Satya , Gwen Vaganesha Nazalla , Habib Afifudin Hasnan
Published: January 2024

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a highly heterogeneous chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract caused by immune dysfunction in human beings. However, the underlying etiology of this disease has not yet been well established. Several trials have revealed that serum vitamin D level abnormality might play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis.
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2013 and 2023 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SagePub, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 1.354 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 214 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total 4 articles for PubMed and 7 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of  6 papers, 4 of which came from PubMed and 2 of which came from SagePub. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: In summary, our systematic review of 5 studies illustrates the lower serum vitamin D status in CRS patients, which indicates that people might get benefit from appropriate vitamin D supplementation. Therefore, due to the heterogeneity of the subjects, more well-designed prospective RCTs should be carried out to further validate these findings in for the general population in the future.

Published: January 2024

This research aims to analyze the application of Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement in efforts to prosecute traffic violations in the jurisdiction of the Bengkulu Regional Police Traffic Directorate using the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah. This research is a qualitative-empirical research using documentation and interview data collection methods. This research found that the use of ETLE in efforts to prevent traffic violations in Bengkulu City is one of the efforts made by the Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) of the Bengkulu Regional Police to deal with the problem of high traffic violations occurring in the Bengkulu City Traffic Space. This also shows the need for more public awareness to avoid harm and negligence in obeying the regulations set by Ulil Amri. This research found that (1) Bengkulu Police Traffic Directorate's efforts to regulate traffic and reduce violations of traffic regulations are by Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The Bengkulu Police Traffic Directorate has also carried out outreach and supervision of the implementation of ETLE in Bengkulu City. Apart from that, the implementation of ETLE is also intended as a form of transparency in the payment of traffic violation fines to avoid extortion by unscrupulous ticket officers. (2) Judging from siyasah dusturiyah, the Bengkulu Police's efforts in implementing ETLE as a way to resolve traffic violation cases are seen as an effort to bring benefit to the community and avoid damage (mafsadah) that could potentially occur in the middle of the Traffic Space.

Addressing Ergonomics in Paddy Milling: Insights from RULA, Nordic Body Map, and Anthropometry
Authors: Rosyidi Maulana , Sutarto Auditya Purwandini , Izzah Nailul
Published: January 2024

A majority of the rice milling process in Indonesia has been categorized as small and medium enterprises that rely heavily on human labor during their operations. Such activities put human operators at high ergonomic risks, particularly in relation to the onset of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to postural stress, repetitive exertions, and sustained or static exertions. Ignorance of these ergonomic risk factors is likely to cause permanent disabilities in the future. As such, this study aims to identify ergonomics risk factors in the milling rice process using both the subjective method by Nordic Body Map Questionnaire and the observation method through Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). The results show that all milling rice operators reported symptoms in their shoulders and low back pain. The final score of RULA was seven or very high risk, indicating that investigation and changes are required immediately. A redesign of the existing step ladder was proposed, developed by an anthropometry-based design approach. The proposed design is expected could reduce the score to 4 or medium risk level

Published: January 2024

Background: Until today, pelvic floor training protocols are focused on the mm. levator ani, although most dysfunctions are of superficial or urethral muscles. Aims:To present the theoretical and empirical bases of the Triple Junction Theory and introduce the Triple Junction Maneuver to strenght the ischiocavernosus (ICs), bulbocavernosus (BCs) and rhabdosphincter (RE) muscles. Method: Theoretical essay based on anatomical, kinesiological and biomechanical findings and exercise physiology. Results: The ICs, BCs and RE muscles are joined in the region adjacent to the glans of the clitoris and the external urethral meatus, in a Triple Junction. It was possible to develop a maneuver to strengthen these three muscles, the Triple Junction Maneuver, superficial and non-invasive, for women, men and children. Most urinary and sexual dysfunctions are caused by one of these three muscles, so such a maneuver can increase the efficiency of pelvic floor training in general. Conclusion: The Triple Junction between mm. ICs, BCs and RE allowed the creation of a strenght maneuver that, however, still lacks new evidence.

Memorials marking Danish ReunificationShaping a community of remembranceIn 2020, on the 100th anniversary of Danish Reunification, around 650 memorials had received protected status. They are found all over Denmark and constitute the country’s largest memorial group. The date of their erection, as well as their location, design, inscriptions, images and initiators are all relatively well known.

This article critically readdresses two main questions. Firstly, why have so many memorials marking Danish Reunification been erected; the very first in 1919, the great majority in 1920 and the years immediately thereafter, and the most recent on the 100th anniversary in 2020? Are they an expression of national joy, as was claimed back then and subsequently, even up to the present day, or might there be other explanations? Alternative perspectives are presented here which call into question both Reunification as a concept, and the joy associated with it. The memorials are interpreted as efforts to create a community of remembrance. Danish Reunification was fiercely disputed and a few of the memorials even express discontent, in line with differing political attitudes about where the Danish-German border should be drawn. Consequently, the memorials marking Reunification could also be interpreted as an expression of crisis.

Secondly, the article examines the present preservation of what might be termed modern heritage. Seen from a global perspective, there is nothing unique in protecting modern remains. In many cases, the memorials have become invisible, being for example neglected or forgotten. Some have been moved and others have disappeared. Their protection was also motivated by references to their unique Danish character, constituting evidence of local fervour and a sense of community. Even so, I wonder whether the present, too, just like the time of the Reunification, is a period of crisis in need of an anniversary and acts of protection to divert attention?

Appended to the article is a catalogue listing 683 known memorials erected to mark the Reunification from 1919 to 2020, arranged by year of erection and/or inauguration. The article is also illustrated with five figures showings examples of the memorials: The memorial column at Skamlingsbanken, built in 1863 and blown up in 1864; this is not a memorial marking Reunification, but provides an example of the harsh treatment of memorials in the borderland between Denmark and Germany (fig. 1); the very first memorial marking Reunification erected in Tarm in 1919 (fig. 2); a memorial at the location where King Christian X began his historic ride over the old border (fig. 3); a memorial erected in 2010 at the church on Rømø (fig. 4); and finally, the Reunification tower at Ejer Bavnehøj, built in 1924 (fig. 5).
Modelling, control and analysis of moderate electric field in food processing
Authors:   , Oluwole-Ojo Oluwaloba
Published: January 2024

Ohmic heating (OH) is a Moderate Electric Field (MEF) processing technique in which electric current is applied to food products. The food product acts as a resistor and heat is generated and dissipated within the food volumetrically. OH is a very energy-efficient form of heating compared to conventional methods such as conduction and convection. The advantages of OH include rapid heating, reduced food processing times, bacterial inactivation, electroporation, and elimination of unwanted temperature peaks. Compared to other conventional methods of food processing, ohmic heating is over 95% energy efficient and high in energy saving. This research is majorly focused on the modelling, control and industrial application, and analysis of MEF in food processing. Firstly, the development of the batch ohmic heater model presents three distinct modelling approaches which are the first principle partial differential equation (PDE), lumped ordinary differential equation (ODE) model and regression models using system identification technique. The validation of the developed batch ohmic heater model is done using a commercially available batch ohmic heater and experimental data. Following this, collaboration with industrial partners and technicians led to the design and construction of a continuous flow ohmic heater (CFOH) pilot plant. Consequently, a novel approach to model the CFOH using the state space approach was developed. This work presents the quantitative results which demonstrate significant improvements in modelling the OH process with regard to food of varying conductivities, flow rates and initial temperatures. The results from the model development led to the application of classical to advanced model-based process control which include Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control, Model Predictive Control (MPC) and adaptive model predictive control on the continuous flow ohmic heater pilot plant. These controllers are implemented on the CFOH pilot plant from MATLAB using Open Platform Communications (OPC). With OPC, server and client protocol are used to exchange data in real-time between the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a stand-alone lab-based computer so that simple and advanced model-based control (e.g., Model Predictive Control) designed in MATLAB/Simulink can be applied on the continuous flow Ohmic Heater. This research demonstrates the following: •model-based design and validation of OH in the food industry •advantages of OH compared to conventional methods •the benefits advanced process control compared to simple control in food engineering •the technique of implementing advanced process control on a PLC based hardware. Industrial heating trial of tomato basil sauce was carried out to present a case study for the pilot scale heating of tomato basil sauce with advanced process control with applications in the food industry. The performances and energy efficiencies of the different control techniques implemented are compared.
La informatización de la educación en zonas fronterizas étnicas en China
Authors: Bo Lan , Xinying Yan
Published: January 2024

Este artículo aplica métodos comunes en la investigación antropológica con el fin de conocer, en detalle, el nivel de desarrollo de la informatización de la educación básica, en una de las mayores zonas habitada por minorías étnicas en China, como es la ciudad de Jingxi, en la Región Autónoma Zhuang de Guangxi. El propósito es proporcionar una referencia para que el mundo comprenda cuál es el nivel de desarrollo de la informatización de la educación básica en las regiones fronterizas de China donde viven grupos étnicos. A través de la revisión bibliográfica y la realización de encuestas y entrevistas, se construye un índice integral de la informatización educativa que se compone de cinco elementos: infraestructura, recursos educativos digitales, aplicaciones de enseñanza, informatización de la gestión y garantías institucionales. A través del diseño de un formulario de evaluación y la aplicación de pruebas de validez y confiabilidad, se determinan 34 ítems de la escala de Likert que servirán de referencia para la encuesta a 630 maestros de escuelas primarias y secundarias locales. Además, se realizan entrevistas a personal de autoridades educativas locales y escuelas de la zona. Los resultados indican que el trabajo de informatización de la educación básica en las regiones étnicas fronterizas está en desarrollo, especialmente con una importante inversión en la construcción de infraestructuras de red. Al mismo tiempo, este proceso se enfrenta a diversos problemas y desafíos, siendo el principal la baja integración de la tecnología informática con la aplicación real educativa, así como con los profesores y estudiantes. Por todo ello, es urgente impulsar la reestructuración de procesos para mejorar la calidad y eficacia de la gestión educativa en estas regiones.

Autopercepción de las competencias para la innovación y el emprendimiento en estudiantes universitarios. Estudio de caso en la Región de Los Ríos, Chile
Authors: Corbett Lagos Karen Denisse
Published: January 2024

El aumento de atención hacia el desarrollo del emprendimiento y la innovación, como estrategia para el desarrollo socioeconómico, ha generado un debate crucial sobre si la educación profesional debería incorporar el desarrollo de competencias asociadas a estos campos en su labor de formación y preparación profesional, respondiendo así a nuevos requerimientos del mercado laboral. Este estudio se centra en los resultados de un exhaustivo proceso de autoevaluación que involucró a 973 estudiantes universitarios de las instituciones de educación superior en la Región de Los Ríos, Chile. El análisis se enfoca en determinar si el nivel de desarrollo de competencias relacionadas con el emprendimiento y la innovación se ajusta a los niveles de integración y fomento de estas competencias en las actividades educativas durante su proceso formativo. Los hallazgos revelan una marcada alineación entre ambas tendencias, consolidando así el papel crucial de las universidades en el futuro desarrollo de iniciativas emprendedoras e innovadoras que contribuyan al servicio de la sociedad que estamos construyendo. Este estudio destaca la importancia de adaptar la educación profesional para preparar a los estudiantes no solo académicamente, sino también para enfrentar los desafíos y oportunidades del mundo laboral contemporáneo, enfatizando la necesidad de integrar de manera efectiva las competencias emprendedoras e innovadoras en los programas educativos.
Carabanchel, la demolición y la construcción de la memoria.
Authors: Ferreiro Ferreiro Maria
Published: January 2024

La antigua prisión de Carabanchel se destruye para eliminar un espacio que nos lleva a recordar un momento conflictivo y revolucionario de la historia nacional. En este escrito, a través de una lectura del hueco todavía vacío de la prisión, hablaré del pasado que se pretende destruir; del presente desde el que se reconfigura la narrativa nacional con dicha destrucción; y de un futuro que apunta a una justicia no retributiva propia de la ley de memoria histórica. El vacío que ocupa lo que un día fue la prisión nos permite acceder a una experiencia del tiempo no cronológica que reta la separación pasado-presente-futuro de la ley; además construir una memoria no normativa que se abre a una justicia por-venir.
Discursos y prácticas censoras sobre la cinematografía hollywoodiense en la España de los años 50
Authors: Cánovas Ortega M.ª Carmen
Published: January 2024

El cine fue uno de los principales entretenimientos en la vida de los españoles durante la primera mitad del franquismo, y entre todas las cinematografías disponibles la estadounidense era sin duda la más popular. Por ello las autoridades franquistas atendieron siempre con especial celo a las películas hollywoodienses, que mostraban unas formas de vida muy alejadas del proyecto social que el Régimen quería instaurar. Parece por tanto interesante explorar este discurso censor que modela el ideario de los filmes en esta década bisagra del franquismo, los años 50, e indagar en la construcción de los discursos elaborados por las Juntas de Clasificación y Censura y sus prácticas sobre los filmes estadounidenses más exitosos de la época. Procuramos aquí ofrecer un estudio del texto y el contexto.
De lo criticable y de lo apreciado: últimos artículos de Javier Marías (2017-2021)
Authors: Valls Fernando
Published: January 2024

El cultivo del artículo ha sido una constante en la trayectoria literaria de Javier Marías, pues entre 1994 y el 2022, año de su muerte, escribió una pieza semanal, aunque había empezado a colaborar en la prensa en 1978. Por tanto, ocupa un lugar importante en el conjunto de su obra, sin olvidar que el propósito era distinto del que lo llevaba a la ficción narrativa. Aquí, sin perder de vista el conjunto de sus libros, me centro en las dos últimas recopilaciones de artículos, las aparecidas en el 2019 y el 2022, para intentar explicar qué características presentan y qué significan en el conjunto de su escritura, de su pensamiento.

«¡Click! Unas poses. ¡Click! Rejas». Escenas del «show travesti» en el archivo de la prensa popular de Buenos Aires (1965-1987)
Authors: Cytryn Lucia
Published: January 2024

Este artículo busca explorar algunos aspectos de la construcción discursiva y visual llevada a cabo por la prensa popular de Buenos Aires de las feminidades trans y travestis, en publicaciones que van de 1965 a 1987. Se intantará mostrar cómo la noción del « travestismo«  como performance determinó en buena medida la forma en que las travestis argentinas han aparecido en la prensa popular en el período que va desde 1965 hasta 1987. Por otra parte, se examinará la circulación de las categorías «Travestis» y «Hombres vedettes» al interior del archivo de redacción de Crónica, al que pertenecen los documentos de prensa a analizar.
