Authors: Panjaitan Tetti Nauli , Humaizi  , Zulkarnain Iskandar , Kholil Syukur
Published: December 2023

Objective: This study scrutinizes the communication processes between the Lake Toba Authority Agency (BPODT) and the Sigapiton indigenous community concerning land conflict amid Toba Caldera Resort's (TCR) development.
 
Method: Employing qualitative methodology involving observations, interviews, and data triangulation, the research evaluates the communication strategies and their impact on stakeholders.
 
Result: Findings reveal significant communication gaps between BPODT and the Sigapiton community. BPODT's communication lacks informativeness, relevance to the community's interests, consistency in conveying benefits, and transparency about TCR development's positive and negative impacts. This deficiency in communication leads to conflicts arising from differing message interpretations, especially regarding land acquisition.
 
Conclusion: This study concludes that BPODT's need to enhance corporate social responsibility communication, ensuring informativeness, relevance, consistency, and transparency. It highlights the importance of objective, fact-based messaging and the need for alignment with community interests for sustainable conflict resolution and improved stakeholder engagement.

Authors: Al Doghan Mohammed A.
Published: December 2023

Purpose: In today's organizational phenomenon, the attainment of knowledge enhances the organizations’ success. Hence, the present study examines the prediction of sustainable environment training towards knowledge transfer directly and through motivation to learn.
 
Design/Methodology/ Approach: In this study, the researcher used quantitative methods. In Saudi Arabia, the researcher collected data from different organizational employees such as services, finance, resources, information technology, management services, etc. The study utilized 288 samples to infer the results.
 
Findings: The researcher applied the famous software, i.e. analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 26.0, to conclude the results. The study's outcomes confirmed a significant positive effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and motivation to learn on transfer knowledge. Besides, motivation to learn mediates the association between intrinsic motivation and knowledge transfer but does not mediate the connection between extrinsic motivation and knowledge transfer. 
 
Research, practical and social implications: The study's outcomes help foster a sustainable environment for training, implying a proactive approach to align education with ecological principles and promoting responsible resource use and conservation. Moreover, integrating knowledge transfer through motivation underscores the importance of cultivating a compelling learning environment and enhancing the effectiveness of educational initiatives by leveraging intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors.
 
Originality/ value: The anticipation of an enduring learning environment and motivation-based information dissemination can cultivate a cohort endowed with the requisite abilities and mindset to tackle worldwide predicaments and make meaningful contributions towards a more sustainable future.

Purpose: This study aims to find a model of Health-Promoting Puskesmas in the archipelago in supporting healthy cities in South Sulawesi Province.

 

Theoretical Reference: Some healthy setting thinkers believe that the healthy cities approach as a tool in solving regional health problems is seen as a too broad concept. The Healthy Islands Concept (HIC) is one of the initiatives which has elemental settings to promote health in island people and communities. Healthy Island refers to island settings, one of which is the Community Health Center (Puskesmas). Realizing Health-Promoting Hospitals has become a global movement. Otherwise, realizing Health-Promoting Puskesmas which has a different position and roles and responsibilities in improving health has raised difficulties. Moreover, health problems in Puskesmas in urban areas can be different from Puskesmas on the island.

 

Methods: This study uses quantitative analysis. There were 700 respondents selected as sample. They were the community that go to the Puskesmas or those in the working area of the Puskesmas. The research locations are in 3 archipelagic regencies/cities, namely islands in Makassar City, Pangkajene Islands Regency, and Selayar Islands Regency. The data were analyzed quantitatively using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling/SEM.

 

Results and Conclusion: Based on the data collection, it was found that there are 7 dimensions with 28 indicators that can form a model of a health-promoting Puskesmas in the islands. Further, the dimension that has the strongest contribution in establishing the model of a health center in islands is the work group dimension of healthy puskesmas with an average loading factor value for each indicator of > 9 so that it can be illustrated that these indicators are stronger than other indicators existing in other dimensions of the Puskesmas models in the islands. A Puskesmas model that is suitable for archipelagic areas has implications for efforts to prevent and improve health, as well as provide quality health services.

 

Implication of Research: Thus, this Puskesmas model can improve the health status of the island community.

 

Originality: The results of this research are expected to be input for the Ministry of Health, the Health Service, Provincial and district/city Governments, and also for society as a whole in realizing a Health-Promoting Puskesmas.

MODEL IDENTYFIKACYJNY SYSTEMU TRANSPORTOWEGO W UJĘCIU OGÓLNEJ TEORII SYSTEMÓW
Authors: Ficoń Krzysztof , Zięcina Marcin
Published: December 2023

W pracy zaprezentowano autorski model systemu transportowego bazujący na ogólnej teorii systemów L. von Bertalanffy’ego, obejmujący zbiór elementów składowych (systemów, podsystemów) oraz wielowymiarowy zbiór relacji systemowych. We wstępie przytoczono podstawowe pojęcia i wybrane definicje tytułowego systemu transportowego. Część zasadnicza obejmuje typologiczną charakterystykę zbioru elementów składowych tworzących modelowany system transportowy oraz wielowymiarową specyfikację podstawowych relacji systemowych. Analizę identyfikacyjną systemu transportowego prowadzono na bazie popularnego podziału gałęziowego (środowiskowego) transportu, który był punktem odniesienia zarówno dla typologii elementów składowych, jak też dla wyróżnionych relacji systemowych. Na wstępie można postawić tezę, że przeprowadzony etap modelowania identyfikacyjnego (informacyjnego) jest pierwszym krokiem w procesie modelowania systemów prakseologicznych i pozwala na podjęcie bardziej zaawansowanych prac nad badaniem dowolnie złożonych systemów realnych, a także abstrakcyjnych. Modelowanie identyfikacyjne jest więc warunkiem koniecznym bardziej szczegółowej analizy każdego systemu prakseologicznego.

THE CULTURE OF THE CO-EXISTENCE OF A PLANNED WIND FARM IN THE CONTEXT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES
Authors: Sommer Hanna , Zakrzewski Grzegorz
Published: December 2023

Offshore wind power (OWP) as a renewable energy source (RES) is expected to have a significant share in the green energy market in the upcoming decades. Onshore energy generation is already a mature and proven technology, while its younger sibling is still in its infancy in the realities of our country. The development of OWP is a quantum leap towards using the natural energy potential of the Baltic Sea. It is supported by the government and is part of the country's energy transition plan. Experts make optimistic claims whereby the first energy from the Baltic Sea will flow into the national power grid in the middle of the next decade at the earliest. Economists and environmentalists agree that the development of energy technology in the Baltic Sea is an opportunity for the economy. It will be powered by another portion of clean energy. All parties claim that their primary task is to support environment protection from the point of view of sozology and avoid making a negative impact on the environment, including destructive events caused by natural forces and human activity, with considerations for socio-economic needs. The article contains the results of research conducted by the students of the University of Rzeszów as potential future consumers of electricity. They assessed the impact of OWP on Poland's energy security and ecological security through the lens of culture, manifested as the lack of excessive consumerism.

Authors: Jodlowska Klaudia , Piec Robert
Published: December 2023

Fighting fires is a very broad concept that includes fires of: residential structures, crops, grasses innon-agricultural areas, means of transportation, forests, manufacturing facilities, public facilities,storage facilities and many others. The activities performed while fighting fires often require a lot ofphysical effort. Physical fatigue affects the safety of firefighters, as it affects their cognitive abilities,especially in analysing hazard information, and this can lead to accidents during rescue operations.The research was divided into the analysis of the literature and data recorded by the FireDepartment describing rescue operations numerically, the analysis of a questionnaire, askingwhat equipment firefighters used during low-rise building fires, and the subjective assessment ofthe impact of physical preparation on confidence during operations. Then the experiment wasplanned and divided into three basic rescue activities that occur during this type of operation.The respondents self-adjusted the pace of the activities, trying to reflect the actual event, evenlydistributing the forces for further actions. An Energy Expenditure Meter with a mask was used toconduct energy expenditure tests.The results of the study indicate that the physical activity of a State Fire Service officer influences hisenergy expenditure in activities specific to rescue operations performed at low-rise building fires.In addition, the survey results showed that systematic activity can also increase self-confidenceand self-esteem, which will reduce the stress levels associated with firefighters during rescue andfirefighting operations.

Em face do cenário de crescimento acirrado do volume de compras pela internet, especialmente, a partir de 2020 com a pandemia da Covid-19, esta pesquisa aborda a Resolução de Conflitos nas compras online. O objetivo consiste em analisar os meios adequados de resolução de conflitos disponíveis para consumidores com problemas enfrentados nas compras online. Trata-se de um artigo de revisão de literatura, composto por pesquisa bibliográfica, exploratória e descritiva, métodos de abordagem dedutivo e qualitativo. Além do uso da técnica análise de conteúdo com observância ao cumprimento dos preceitos ético-legais. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciaram que são meios adequados de resolução de conflitos nas compras online a negociação, a arbitragem, a conciliação e a mediação. Esses meios, utilizados em audiências presenciais, estão disponíveis para os consumidores através das plataformas digitais de acordos extrajudiciais. A Resolução de Conflitos em Rede apresenta vantagens, especialmente, para causas de baixo valores como ocorre na maioria das compras online, sendo um meio de agilizar os processos, reduzir os custos, aumentar a produtividade dos negociadores e gerar comodidade para as partes. As desvantagens são o uso em causas complexas de grandes valores, que envolvam emoções ou diferentes jurisdições, além da falta de controle de dados privados. Conclui-se que a Resolução de Conflitos nas compras online, através dos meios adequados e disponíveis para consumidores em plataformas digitais, configura-se como um mecanismo relevante de acesso à justiça e desjudicialização das relações de consumo virtual, porém, ainda incipiente frente a grande massa de consumidores e o volume de processos impetrados na Justiça Brasileira.

Seasonal variation in the root activity and appropriate placement of superphosphate in productive Alphonso mango trees as influenced by application of paclobutrazol
Authors: KOTUR S C
Published: December 2023

In 20-year old productive Alphonso mango (Mangifera indica L.) trees, the intensity of root activity was significantly higher under ‘control’ (236 557 dpm/g dry matter) compared to when paclobutrazol was applied @ 3.75 a.i/tree (220 067). Among the seasons, the highest intensity was observed during late rainy season (434 077) while the least was during early rainy season (66 340). The interaction effect showed that during early rainy and winter having good soil moisture regime, ‘control’ trees showed higher intensity while the reverse was true during drier months of early rainy and summer seasons. Active roots dominated 25 cm depth during early season (76–86%) under paclobutrazol application compared to 60–67% found in ‘control’. During late rainy and summer seasons the active roots were uniformly distributed between 25 and 50 cm depths under both ‘control’ and paclobutrazol treatment. In terms of lateral distance, the active roots predominated 100 cm distance during early rainy season under paclobutrazol treatment. In the following seasons, most of the roots were uniformly distributed between 100 and 200 cm distances. The application of paclobutrazol reduced the intensity of root activity and caused the roots to move closer to the trunk and the soil surface during seasons of higher soil moisture regime. The absorption of P supplied through superphosphate during early- and late-rainy seasons was significantly reduced relative to the untreated ‘control’ trees. In such trees, the fertilizer had to be placed closest to the trunk (between 90–160 cm radial distances) to achieve high absorption of P compared to the farther placements at 160–230 cm and 230–300 cm found optimum for the untreated ‘control’ trees to attain high fertilizer use efficiency as consequence of migration of active roots closer to the trunk (100–200 cm radial distance) and towards surface layer (15 cm depth) especially during late rainy season due to the intervention of growth retardant to overcome alternate bearing habit of Alphonso mango trees. These findings form the basis for evolving practical fertilizer management schedules to the mango growers in such situations after more detailed studies employing conventional (non-tracer) techniques.

Published: December 2023

A study was carried out to examine the effect of pre-sowing seed inoculation with Pseuodomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma harzianum either singly (@ 4g, 6g, 8g per kg seed) or in combination with both bio-inoculants (@ (2+2)g, (3+3)g, (4+4) g/kg seed) on growth, seed yield and subsequent seed quality of barley. There was significant difference among different seed bio-inoculation treatment over un-inoculated control with regard to field emergence, root length, plant height, ear length, number of seeds per ear, 1000-seed weight and seed yield/ha under field trial and also for subsequent seed quality, i e germination, radicle, plumule and seedling length, fresh and dry weight of seedlings and vigour index (I&II) under laboratory experiment. Seed yield and its contributing characters as well as subsequent seed quality were found to be higher as the amount of P. fluorescens and T. harzianum increased from 4 to 8 g/kg either singly or in combination of both bio-inoculants. The bio-inoculants mixture showed greater influence on seed yield and quality over seeds treated either with P. fluorescens and T. harzianum and both bio-inoculants mixture @ (4+4) g/kg seeds had maximum influence on characters studies under field as well as laboratory experiment.

Authors: BABU S RAMESH , SUBRAHMANYAM B
Published: December 2023

Trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor activities were studied using cowpea, cluster bean, babul and algaroba seeds. Results of this study indicated that the mean value obtained for all the accessions examined was 52.84±3.05 TIU/mg in Acacia senegal which was significantly higher than that found for the other arid legumes studied. The majority of the cowpea accessions examined fell within the range of 15-45 TIU/mg and the significantly highest trypsin inhibitory activity (8.03±0.55 TIU/mg) was found in accession, IC-311403. In Acacia senegal, the trypsin inhibitors content ranged from 34.77±0.09 in IC-330522 to 85.45±7.02 TIU/mg in local cultivar. Algaroba and cluster bean have not shown any chymotrypsin inhibitory activity. Significant variability for chymotrypsin inhibitor content was observed among the various accessions of cowpea and A. senegal species. The accessions of arid legumes including tree legumes were found to be better and hence could be explored for further development and selection of good sources of PIs for insect resistance in transgenic crops.

Published: December 2023

In the present study, twenty one pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh] genotypes representing three different gene pools were analysed for phylogenetic relationships using sequence specific amplification polymorphism markers. Four primers were screened involving selective AFLP primers in combination with primer specific to 5'LTR region of Panzee retrotransposon. A total of 183 bands were scored, out of which 166 (90.71%) bands were polymorphic with an average of 41.5 polymorphic bands per primer combination. Polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.15 [Panzee-LTR/ EcoRI (+AAC)] to 0.26 [Panzee-LTR/ EcoRI (+AAG)] for four primer combinations. Resolving power (RP) values ranged from 10.14 [Panzee-LTR/ EcoRI (+AAC)] to 24.92 [Panzee-LTR/ MseI (+CAC)], whereas marker index (MI) values ranged from 5.25 [Panzee-LTR/ EcoRI (+AAC)] to 14.25 [Panzee-LTR/ MseI (+CAC)] exhibiting positive correlation (r2=0.99 P<0.05). Primer Panzee-LTR/ MseI (+CAC) with higher values of RP (24.92) and MI (14.25) was found most informative for analysing the phylogenetic relationships. NJ tree based on 166 polymorphic SSAP markers exhibited concordant relationships among pigeonpea genotypes supported by high bootstrap values. The genotypes belonging to tertiary gene pools and primary gene pool were placed at extremes, whereas one accession of C. cajanifolius (ICP 15632) was placed closer to primary gene pool, confirming C. cajanifolius is the closest progenitor of cultivated pigeonpea. SSAP markers produced high rate of polymorphism and revealed phylogenetic relationships among pigeonpea genotypes.

Authors: SAMAL P , SINGH O N , GHOSH A
Published: December 2023

The production of rice, the largest consumer of irrigation water, has been threatened due to demand from other sectors of the economy. Among the several options available for increasing water productivity, alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and use of aerobic rice cultures are two viable options and these two options were tried at on-station and on-farm level to assess and quantify the reduction in number of irrigations and their viability on farmers’ field. Participatory varietal selection method was used to select aerobic rice cultures and form the basis for further seed supply to farmers. Seeds of promising cultures were supplied to farmers and subsequently impact analysis was done. The impact analysis revealed that there are 2–3 irrigation saving due to adoption of AWD and new rice cultures and consequently, a cost of saving of ` 375/tonne of rice was obtained. The results of the simulation exercise revealed that irrigated rice area can be further expanded to another 3.0 million ha and rice production by another 7.2 million tonnes due to adoption of these technologies.

During the quarantine processing at NBPGR, New Delhi Rotylenchus minutus intercepted on corms of African potato, Hypoxis hemerocallidea, which were imported from Swaziland. Here, African potato is reported as a new host record for R. minutus and this species has not been reported in India. Infected corms were given dip treatment in 0.2% formalin solution for 15 min to eliminate nematode infection. Six months later, post entry quarantine inspection was conducted on corms grown in potted soil at NBPGR, New Delhi. All samples were found free from R. minutus. This study highlights the importance of interception of R. minutus on a new host in minimizing risk of introducing exotic nematode into country. Moreover, prophylactic treatment of corms with 0.2% formalin assisted in salvaging the material infected with R. minutes.

Published: December 2023

Based on the Surabaya City RPJMD for 2021-2026, strategic issues in government affairs in the field of housing and residential areas focus on providing Rusunawa capacity which is not proportional to the number of applicants. To overcome this problem, the Surabaya City Government took the initiative to build Rusunawa Tambak Wedi in the City of Surabaya. This research aims to evaluate the amount of investment receipts and determine the acceptance limits, with the aim of minimizing risks in Rusunawa investment activities. The research results show that the Medium Tariff Structure 1, Lower Tariff Structure 1, and Lower Tariff Structure 2 are considered feasible if analyzed based on the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period methods. (PP) but the Medium Tariff Structure 2 and the Upper Tariff Structure were declared unfeasible if analyzed using the same method. Sensitivity analysis shows that each Rusunawa rental rate structure has a different level of sensitivity to changes in variables, such as residential unit rental rates, management fees, and management fee subsidies provided by the Government.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography has become an important part of endodontic practice as it allows the visualization and manipulation of three-dimensional images. The present study aimed to evaluate the periapical condition of endodontically treated teeth through the analysis of computed tomography scans. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study in which 707 teeth were analyzed. The different dental groups, the presence of an intraradicular retainer, coronary restoration, root fracture, and root resorption, as well as the apical and lateral limits of the filling and the quality of the filling, were evaluated. The data were tabulated and then statistically treated through descriptive analyses and associations. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov and chi-square tests were used, and the significance level was 95% (p≤0.05). Of the total number of teeth analyzed, the maxillary incisors were the most prevalent (27.7%), followed by the maxillary premolars (18.8%) and the mandibular molars (15.1%). Significant associations were observed between the presence of alterations in the periapex and the apical limit (p=0.001), the lateral limit of the filling (p=0.000), the quality of the filling (p=0.030) and the presence of root resorption (0.000). It is concluded that unsatisfactory filling of root canals is a relevant factor for the presence of periapical diseases.

Large government projects in the Brazilian Amazon, particularly the opening of highways, have always caused a strong impact and several territorial transformations marked by aspects related to the abundance of rivers and their considerable flows, as well as the lack of maintenance of drains arranged along these roads. The objective of this article is to demonstrate aspects related to surface runoff on the Rodovia Expresso Porto, in the municipality of Porto Velho, State of Rondônia, Brazil, with emphasis on the three main hydrographic channels that cross the highway. The research presents a qualitative-quantitative approach using the hypothetical-deductive method, seeking to characterize the study area with bibliographical research and the use of remote sensing techniques in the preparation of thematic maps. The results point to problems in two of the three culverts analyzed, not due to insufficient diameter for flow, but rather due to the considerable difference in level at which they were placed, as well as the lack of maintenance to remove soil and other waste at their entrance. In this context, the importance of good topographic studies to support future similar engineering works is evident.

Bacterial resistance is a serious global public health problem, affecting different spheres of society, increasing hospital costs and reducing the patient's chances of cure, since antimicrobials are no longer effective in the treatment of infections caused by such bacteria. Over the years, uropathogens, agents that cause urinary tract infections, have shown increasingly high rates of resistance, making it increasingly necessary to determine the susceptibility profile of such microorganisms. From this, the present study aimed to verify the antimicrobial resistance profile of the main uropathogens found in a military hospital in Rio de Janeiro. For the preparation of this study, all ethical principles were obeyed, being approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Pedro Ernesto University Hospital, of the State University of Rio de Janeiro, where 825 positive urine culture reports were used, collected between March 2018 and March 2020. Among the main uropathogens identified, Escherichia coli stood out, totaling 72.9% of cases, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (13%), Proteus mirabilis (5.7%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (2.09%). Such bacteria can also cause the so- called asymptomatic bacteriuria, whose treatment is empirical and based on broad-spectrum antibiotics. By analyzing the susceptibility profile of these microorganisms, it was possible to identify a trend towards the growth of strains resistant to fluoroquinolones and carbapenems. The development of protocols for the rational use of antimicrobials can be a step forward for evidence-based clinical management.

Published: December 2023

This year, we are delighted to mark the 50th Structural Awards – the Institution's celebration of global structural engineering excellence – with a special issue showcasing the winning projects. From their beginnings as the 'Institution Special Award', first conferred on the Severn Bridge, the Structural Awards have grown into a truly international scheme that attracts over 100 entries each year from around the world – all competing for the ultimate accolade of the Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence. The 50th Awards have seen the categories revamped to place a stronger emphasis on the structural characteristics of a project, rather than the type of structure. The judging process has also been overhauled to avoid potential conflicts of interest and ensure independent scrutiny of the shortlisted projects. Congratulations to all this year's winning and commended entries! Read all about them in this special Awards section.
Technical Guidance Note (Level 2, No. 14): Design of unrestrained timber beams
Authors: O'Regan Chris
Published: December 2023

This Technical Guidance Note addresses the design of timber elements that are unrestrained against lateral torsional buckling. It explains how such beams are analysed and designed. The impact of notching the supports of beams is also considered with respect to the shear capacity of the beam. For clarity and brevity, this note only covers solid and glued laminated (glulam) timber elements; compound and composite beams, such as flitch beams, are not considered. The connections within timber frame assemblies will be addressed in a future note. Readers should also be aware that this note forms part of a trio of Technical Guidance Notes leading to the design of bespoke timber trusses – assemblies made from unrestrained timber beams and posts. Notes on the design of timber posts and bespoke timber trusses will follow later in the series.

La motivación constituye dentro del proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje un aspecto fundamental que facilita los procesos pedagógicos para que los educandos se formen. Sin embargo, cómo puede influir en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes son interrogantes constantes a valorarse en cada contexto educativo para encauzar los objetivos de aprendizaje. El estudio realizado determinó las causas motivacionales que incidieron en el rendimiento académico de alumnos del 6to grado de Educación Básica pertenecientes a la Unidad Educativa “Presidente Velasco Ibarra”. A partir de un estudio de campo, descriptivo y de enfoque mixto se trabajó con una población de 29 estudiantes que representan el 100% del universo. Se aplicó un cuestionario de elaboración propia destacando entre los principales resultados la falta de apoyo por parte de la familia; la falta de estrategias motivacionales contextualizadas con una mayor incidencia en asignaturas como Matemáticas y Lengua - Literatura en las que manifestaron los escolares no sentirse satisfechos con las calificaciones alcanzadas. De esta forma se concluye que la motivación es limitada e influye de manera negativa en el rendimiento académico de los niños(as) del 6to grado y la importancia de utilizar estrategias motivacionales en correspondencia a las necesidades de los mismos.

En la actualidad, en el sector educativo se está integrando la tecnología y diversas estrategias metodológicas en el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje, una de ellas es el juego interactivo, que es considerado como una herramienta innovadora ya que posee elementos lúdicos, visuales y auditivos, que contribuyen al desarrollo de habilidades y destrezas en las áreas de desarrollo, por lo que puede ser integrado en las experiencias de aprendizaje de los distintos niveles educativos. El presente trabajo investigativo tuvo por objetivo, analizar cómo influyen los juegos interactivos en el desarrollo del lenguaje en niños de 3 a 4 años. El aspecto metodológico es abordado desde el enfoque cualitativo donde se plantea estudiar el fenómeno en su propio ambiente, siguiendo el proceso inductivo, con el método de observación, además, el diseño fue de tipo investigación-acción, ya que se buscó dar solución al problema identificado mediante la aplicación de los Juegos interactivos que contiene el portal educativo Árbol ABC. Para la recolección de la información se utilizó la Guía de observación con los indicadores de la Guía de Portage, la cual permitió determinar las habilidades del área del lenguaje en los niños de 3 a 4 años y una entrevista estructurada dirigida a los docentes de la Escuela Particular “Angélica Villón Lindao”.  Se concluye que, el uso del juego interactivo fue significativo en las habilidades lingüísticas y comunicativas de los niños, debido a que, mejora la expresión verbal, enriquece el vocabulario, promueve la construcción de frases y comprensión del lenguaje, en síntesis, es necesario emplear actividades basadas en juegos que aborden las destrezas básicas y superiores para el desarrollo de esta área fundamental en la infancia.
