Fingerprints of the Anthropocene: the 2016 Coral Bleaching Event in an Equatorial Archipelago
Authors: Moore Abigail Mary , Ndobe Samliok , Jompa Jamaluddin
Published: August 2018

Coral reef ecosystems worldwide are experiencing increasingly frequent episodes of temperature-related “coral bleaching”. The Banggai Archipelago in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, has extensive coral reefs and is home to the endemic Banggai cardinalfish, Pterapogon kauderni, a species listed as Endangered in the IUCN red List. A rapid survey was undertaken at seven sites (1.2°S-2°S) in this archipelago, in response to the national call for action during the 2016 global bleaching event. The CoralWatch method (6 point colour scale: CW1-CW6) was used; colony life-form (Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network categories) and genus (Indo-Pacific Coral-finder) were recorded. Partial and full bleaching were observed at all sites; of 1166 colonies, 64.7% were fully bleached (CW1) or very pale (CW2); with 13.5% in CW4-CW6. Water temperatures were 1-3°C above recorded maxima from 2004-2012. Branching and encrusting life-forms had the highest full/severe bleaching rates. Common genera with above average bleaching rates included Stylophora, Seriatopora, Pocillopora, Isopora, Merulina, Galaxea, some forms of Acropora and Porites. Algal overgrowth was observed on both live (fully/partially) bleached and dead colonies. Densities of Diadema sp. urchins, a key simbiont of the Banggai cardinalfish, until recently the most abundant coral reef herbivore, were extremely low (orders of magnitude less than 2004 densities), with few adult individuals present at 5/7 sites. The Caribbean experience underlines the urgency of addressing the unregulated Diadema fishery which has developed in the Banggai Archipelago since around 2007. Rehabilitating populations of this key invertebrate herbivore would contribute to biodiversity conservation and reef resilience/recovery in this equatorial archipelago.
Academic Career Development: A Review and Research Agenda
Authors: Zacher Hannes , Rudolph Cort , Todorovic Tara , Ammann Daniel
Published: August 2018

Academic career development refers to the process by which employers as well as scholarsworking in research, teaching, and/or administrative roles in academic and higher education contexts manage various tasks, behaviors, and experiences within and across jobs and organizations over time, with implications for scholars’ work-related identity. In this review article, we address the question: to what extent has conceptual and empirical research on academic career development captured central constructs and processes outlined by two important and comprehensive career development theories? Using social cognitive career theory and life-span, life-space theory as guiding frameworks, we categorized relevant articles published in academic journals into five thematic clusters: (a) individual characteristics, (b) contextual factors, (c) active regulation of behavior, (d) career stages, and (e) work and nonwork roles. Within these thematic clusters, major topics in the existing literature on academic career development include gender differences and women’s experiences, mentoring and other career development interventions, and career development in the field of medicine. In contrast, social and cognitive processes, action regulation, later career stages, and the work-nonwork interface have been neglected in the literature on academic career development. We conclude by outlining an agenda for future research, including theoretical and methodological considerations.
Checking the Assumptions of Your Statistical Model Without Getting Paranoid
Authors: Vanhove Jan
Published: August 2018

This tutorial shows how you can graphically check the assumptions behind the general linear model (which includes t-tests, ANOVA, and ANCOVA as well as simple and multiple regression) without succumbing to paranoia. The basic principle is that you draw diagnostic plots for the actual model as well as for models fitted to simulated data so that the model assumptions are known to be accurate. If you can tell the actual model’s diagnostic plot apart from the others, then perhaps a robustness check or a more complex model is in order; if you cannot, then the diagnostic plot in and of itself is not a cause for concern. An on-line appendix shows how to implement this procedure with the help of user-friendly R functions.
The Sociology of the Symbolic Landscape
Authors: Voyer Andrea , Lund Anna
Published: August 2018

The study of meaning is a cornerstone of sociology, but the context-dependence of meaning is also a challenge for sociologists, especially sociologists of race. This article offers the Sociology of the Symbolic Landscape (SSL) as the theoretical solution to the challenge of studying meaning and applying the concept of race within and across contexts. SSL focuses on the relationships between symbolic categories within a context and their positions in the core/periphery distinction. Incorporating insights from Durkheim, Interpretive Sociology, the study of Symbolic Boundaries, Civil Sphere Theory, and Postcolonial Theory, SSL makes it possible to identify and categorize positions, thereby identifying the way meaning acts as a source of constraint and of creative possibilities, and enabling cross-contextual comparison of culture-structures and forms. Through application of SSL to data on categorizations in Sweden, we demonstrate the analytical traction SSL provides. SSL offers a portable understanding of the racial other as “outsider within,” a distinct position of enduring alterity and persistent difference within the symbolic landscape. Unlike outward-looking categories defined on the basis of a pre-existing religious attachment, ethnic group, or non-native nationality, the outsider within is an internally referenced category defined in negation – social membership with problematic and atypical belonging.
Effects of moisture conditions on the small mammal communities of floodplain forests in south Moravia (Czech Republic)
Authors: Suchomel Josef , Zejda Jan , Hadaš Pavel , Heroldová Marta
Published: August 2018

Changes of the moisture regime and its influence on the dominance of selected species of small mammal communities were studied in floodplain forests in southern Moravia (river Dyje). In period of typical floodplain regime characterized by groundwater table fluctuation (1968–1972, with high groundwater table level or floods in spring) dominance of Apodemus flavicollis (Mel.) was 42%, Myodes glareolus (Schreb.) 33% and Sorex araneus L. 15% of the total small mammal communities. In period 1982–1987 after cessation of floods by river regulation, rapid groundwater drop and changes in the herb layer, the dominance of Apodemus flavicollis and Myodes glareolus increased. Also the dominance of Apodemus sylvaticus (L.) increased, but that of Sorex araneus collapsed. Further revitalization measures were applied by systems of channels supplying the water to root system of forest trees but not to the herb layer. In 2002–2006 decreasing moisture condition further influenced the dominance of Apodemus flavicollis reaching mean dominance 62%, Myodes glareolus dominance decreased to 20% and that of Sorex araneus remain to be low. All estimated changes were correlated with moisture regime changes and were significant. Thus the changes in the forest moisture regime significantly affect the community of small terrestrial mammals.

Published: August 2018

The share of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is largely present in forestry, especially in the segment related to non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in Europe. They are also a dominant category in entrepreneurship in Serbia. Therefore, the subjects of this research were the companies operating in the sector of NWFPs, within specific statistical regions of Serbia. The database of SMEs was obtained from 119 SMEs and the share of surveyed SMEs was 81.5%. The main research method was two-step cluster analysis. Questionnaire was used for the purpose of the research. The aim of the research was to identify clusters in order to establish similarities within the defined clusters and the differences among them. Spatial distribution of specific categories of NWFPs in nature (mushrooms, medicinal and aromatic plants, honey and wild berries), contributed to the portfolio of the companies. This largely influenced clusters that are created by categories of products that are typical for certain statistical regions in Serbia.

Usluge šumskih ekosustava i funkcije šuma imaju slično značenje, iako se djelomično razlikuju. Funkcije šuma se odnose na namjenu i svrhu šuma od kojih ljudi imaju koristi, dok su usluge šumskih ekosustava posljedice i rezultati funkcija šuma, odnosno koristi od ekosustava za čovjeka i okoliš. Usluge šumskih ekosustava se odnose na sve funkcije šuma, dok se općekorisne funkcije šuma (OKFŠ) odnose samo na one funkcije šuma od kojih svi ljudi imaju koristi. Park šuma Marjan (PŠM) sa svojim različitim ekosustavima pruža brojne usluge i koristi stanovnicima Splita, posjetiteljima park šume i drugim organizmima.
U Park šumi Marjan koja je površine od oko 300 ha, najzastupljeniji su šumski ekosustavi koji zauzimaju 2/3 park šume. U radu je po prvi puta definirano 28 usluga šumskih ekosustava PŠM na temelju međunarodne podjele usluga ekosustava i drugih podjela OKFŠ. Pomoću anketnog upitnika napravljeno je rangiranje tih usluga. Pet najvažnijih usluga šumskih ekosustava bile su stvaranje čistog i svježeg zraka, pružanje prirodnog prostora za rekreaciju, pružanje prirodnog prostora za odmor, stvaranje kisika i pružanje prirodnog prostora za edukativne aktivnosti. Procjena novčanih vrijednosti pet najvažnijih usluga šumskih ekosustava napravljena je na temelju određenih kriterija i indikatora. Procijenjene vrijednosti pojedinih najvažnijih usluga šumskih ekosustava iznosile su od 700 do 77.000 kn po hektaru godišnje. Procijenjena ukupna vrijednost pet najvažnijih usluga šumskih ekosustava iznosila je 122.000 kn po ha godišnje, odnosno oko 24,4 milijuna kn godišnje za 200 ha šuma PŠM. Napravljena je i aproksimativna procjena vrijednosti preostalih 23 usluge šumskih ekosustava PŠM. Ukupna procijenjena vrijednost svih 28 usluga šumskih ekosustava PŠM iznosila je oko 708.000 kn po ha godišnje, odnosno oko 141,6 milijuna kn godišnje za 200 ha šuma PŠM. Analizirane su i vrijednosti općekorisnih funkcija šuma
dobivene na temelju procjene općekorisnih funkcija šuma prema programu gospodarenja za PŠM, zatim na temelju procjene općekorisnih funkcija mediteranskih šuma i na temelju godišnjeg iznosa naknade za općekorisne funkcije šuma. Procjene su iznosile od 200 kn do 402.000 kn po ha godišnje. Procjene novčanih vrijednosti usluga ekosustava, pa tako i šumskih ekosustava, imaju važnu ulogu u planovima zaštite, upravljanja i gospodarenja ekosustavima, kao i pri smanjivanju nepovoljnih ljudskih utjecaja na ekosustave i njihove usluge o kojima ovisi blagostanje sadašnjih i budućih generacija.

Odabir motrilačkih lokacija protupožarnog sustava najčešće uključuje izvođenje analiza vidljivosti. Primjena analitičkih mogućnosti GIS-a, informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologija (ICT) te prostorno-orijentiranih podataka pruža osnovu nastanka i djelovanja protupožarnih video sustava. U radu je na temelju indikatora vidljivog zemljišnog pokrova i udjela vidljivog područja u odnosu na ukupnu kopnenu površinu županije, vrednovano šest predloženih lokacija za postavljanje nadzornih kamera unutar Zadarske županije. Vrednovanje je izvršeno analizom preklapanja binarnog modela vidljivosti, tipa zemljišnog pokrova i sloja naselja. Analiza pogodnosti lokacija odrađena je u sklopu projekta „HOLISTIC“ IPA programa jadranske prekogranične suradnje 2007.-2013. Rezultati analize ukazuju na to da dvije od šest predloženih lokacija nisu pogodne za postavljanje nadzornih kamera. Na primjeru dvije potencijalne lokacije nadzornih kamera analiziran je utjecaj pogreške DMR-a na model vidljivosti. Prvi put je na specifičnom primjeru u RH kvantificirana razlika između vjerojatnog algoritma i standardne binarne metode određivanja vidljivosti. Iz rezultata se može zaključiti da pouzdanost modela vidljivosti, odnosno razlika između testiranih algoritama, ovisi o geomorfometrijskim obilježjima terena na kojem se analiza odvija.
Productivity assessment of alternative timber debarking methods
Authors: Gülci Neşe , Akay Abdullah E. , Erdaş Orhan
Published: August 2018

U Turskoj se faze koranja drveta obično obavljaju uz pomoć sjekira. Međutim, ta metoda zahtijeva puno vremena i puno radne snage. Uz to, budući da ostavljanje drveta s korom u sastojinama povećava rizik od oštećenja insektima, zahtijeva hitan proces guljenja kore. Posljednjih godina puno se koriste guljači kore koji se montiraju na motornu pilu, budući da se posao obavlja brže s manjim brojem radne snage. U ovoj studiji, analizirane su dvije različite metode koranja u razmatranju produktivnosti rada koje uključuju uporabu sjekira i guljač kore koji se montira na motornu pilu. Terenske studije provedene su u sastojini brucijskog bora (Pinus brutia Ten.) koja se nalazi u Upravi šuma Bahçe u regionalnom šumskom gospodarstvu Adane. Rezultat studije bio je da je produktivnost pila za koranje bila pet puta veća od uporabe sjekira za koranje. Tako je guljač kore koji se montira na motornu pilu bolja alternativa od uporabe sjekire u guljenju kore, budući da je kod njega potrebno manje vremena te smanjuje fizički rad drvosječa.
Utjecaj fuzije snimki na promjenu površine šumskog područja koristeći nenadziranu klasifikaciju
Authors: Rumora Luka , Miler Mario , Medak Damir
Published: August 2018

Danas su sve traženiji slobodno dostupni satelitski podaci visoke rezolucije poput podataka dobivenih iz Landsat satelitske misije. Karakteristika Landsat podataka je površinska razlučivost snimki od 30 m x 30 m. Za neke uporabe ta razlučivost nije dovoljna. Landsat satelitska misija, počevši od satelita Landsat 7, prikuplja pankromatski kanal koji služi za povećanje razlučivosti snimki. Ovim radom analiziran je utjecaj fuzije multispektralnih i pankromatskih snimki na promjenu površine šumskog područja koristeći nenadziranu klasifikaciju. Na temelju izvornih snimki izračunat je vegetacijski indeks normalizirane razlike (engl. Normalized difference Vegetation indeks, NDVI) te se takva indeksirana slika koristila kao referentna slika za potrebe daljnje usporedbe. Izvorne snimke prva četiri kanala (plavi, zeleni, crveni i blizu–infracrveni) izoštrene su uporabom osmog (pankromatskog) kanala satelita Landsat 7. Iz tih snimki, na temelju četvrtog (blizu-infracrvenog) i trećeg (crvenog) kanala, izračunat je NDVI. Uz taj postupak provedeno je izoštravanje (fuzija) referentne NDVI snimke. Usporedbom dobivenih slika s referentnom izabrane su slike za klasifikaciju. Nad izabranim slikama provedena je nenadzirana klasifikacija K-means, te je utvrđeno da slika dobivena bikubičnom interpolacijom i izoštravanjem brzom metodom intenzitet–boja–zasićenost (engl. Fast intensity-hue-saturation, FIHS) na temelju prethodno izoštrenih kanala predstavlja najkvalitetnije rješenje.

Assemblages of ophiostomatoid fungi vectored by Ips amitinus (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) on norway spruce depend on colonization time, position on the host tree and development stage
Authors: Nève Repe Andreja , Groot Maarten de , Jurc Maja
Published: August 2018

Mali osmerozubi smrekov pisar Ips amitinus najčešće naseljava smreku u montanskima područjima Središnje Europe. Najvažniji domaćin je obična smreka (Picea abies) i bijeli bor (Pinus sylvestris). U ugodnim vremenskim i trofičnim uvjetima, potkornjak postaje opasan, posebno za mlađa stabla u plantažama. Klimatske promjene, s kojima se suočavamo danas, mogu biti povoljne za vrste koje nisu bile ekonomski važne u prošlosti, a u zadnje vrijeme počinju pričinjavati štete u šumama. Informacije o ekološkim/biološkim obilježjima I. amitinus su u literaturi rijetke, posebice za asocijacije potkornjaka i gljiva; iako je poznato da su vrste potkornjaka (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) povezane s različitim gljivama. Istraživali smo čimbenike koji utječu na asocijacije ofiostomatoidnih gljiva s I. amitinus na običnoj smreki. Materijal za studiju bio je prikupljen 2010. godine u blizini Dravograda, na sjeveru Slovenije, gdje je u zimskim vjetrovima bila porušena obična smreka. Za izolacije ofiostomatoidnih gljiva prikupili smo 442 uzorka (kukci i zaraženo drvo - uzorci iz drvenih diskova, s dva stabla na 0,5 m, 6 m i 15 metara iznad panja). Uzeto je ukupno 625 izolata. Ofiostomatoidne gljive su bile najbrojnije zastupljene skupine. Identificirali smo deset vrsta gljiva. Najčešća je bila Ophiostoma brunneo-ciliatum, slijedile su Grosmannia penicillata, Ophiostoma bicolor, Ceratocystiopsis minuta, Grosmannia piceiperda, Endoconidiophora polonica, Ophiostoma piceae, Ophiostoma fuscum, Grosmannia cucullata, Graphium fimbriisporum. Povezanost I. amitinus s O. fuscum, G. cucullata i G. fimbriisporum bila je prvi put potvrđena. Istraživali smo razlike u pojavljivanju pojedinih vrsta gljiva u različitim stadijima života potkornjaka (adulti, ličinke, kukuljice) i zaraženih uzoraka drva.

Concepción de la docencia y prácticas en la pedagogía universitaria.
Authors: Solar María Inés
Published: August 2018

This paper addresses the outlook on university teaching and teaching practices in the new scenarios of the 21st Century. New requirements established for professional training call for significant changes in higher education teaching methods. The issue of quality now needs to be approached in a more holistic fashion in terms of its dimensions: the complexity involved in managing teaching and curricular changes, and the fact that teaching and evaluation methods need to be understood in the context of a new style of the teaching learning process. Teaching has expanded its meaning, and it now involves different phases or stages needed to develop the training project. Since several actors are involved in this process, and this calls for specific learning environments and a culture of collaboration and evaluation to achieve learning. The challenge of innovating in higher education teaching practices imposes the need for features and characteristics of quality in academicians which go beyond their own individuality and are projected on to his peers, the educational establishment and collective projects. Professional development takes place simultaneously with personal growth and it implies "know-how, willingness to do things and being happyâ€.
Regulación de la oferta de carreras: la mirada de una universidad regional derivada.
Authors: Herrera Ricardo , González María Elena , González Eduardo
Published: August 2018

There is considerable concern among social actors involved in university activities forÂ several reasons: Chile has witnessed an excessive increase in the number of availableÂ study programs from 1981 onwards, there are insufficient means to provide goodÂ quality modern education, and inequality in the access to education and theÂ possibilities to continue studying, plus significant rates of academic failure, increasedÂ costs in education and the search for adequate mechanisms to allocate resources forÂ higher education. Given the complexity of these problems,awareness has not yetÂ trickled down sufficiently into society.In this setting, regulating the supply of studyprograms â€”from the viewpoint of a derived regional university such as theUniversidad de La Fronteraâ€” is a highly significant issue that is unavoidably linked toÂ requirements posed by demand and the conditions of access to higher education inÂ universities in the regions. The foregoing calls for a regulatory framework,withÂ essentially stable and clear rules of the game, which should encourage a dynamic ofÂ permanent adjustment to societal changes.

The author approaches the issue of regulating the supply of university degreeÂ programs from the point of view of a private, independent university. He firstÂ addresses the subject of the origin of private universities and the role they play inÂ society.Then he analyzes the issue of the demand for university education and goes onÂ to outline how a private university makes decisions in terms of the degree programs itÂ offers.Guerrero then addresses the most controversial aspect: the possibility of havingÂ third parties regulate the supply, in quantitative and qualitative terms. Finally, theÂ author outlines his own views on the subject and emphasizes the crucial need forÂ adequate information on this matter.

La formación para el trabajo y el paradigma de formación por competencias.
Authors: Alarcón Rodrigo
Published: August 2018

Changes in the work place make it necessary to re-adapt advanced training programs.Â Upon verifying that workers, at present, not only need to master certain skills andÂ abilities but that they also need to develop certain general competencies, has givenÂ rise to the concept of training by competencies and to the development of methods toÂ analyze them in the work place and to develop curricula oriented to competencies.Â Futhermore, the concept of permanent education appears as a requirement to satisfyÂ the needs of a dynamic world and fits in perfectly with the paradigm of training byÂ competencies.Training by competencies for technicians and professionals is done moreefficiently in education centers with certain characteristics which favor an approach that is more closely linked to the world of work than traditional academic approaches.If policies are implemented for the technical colleges to base their actions onthe paradigm of training by competencies, Chile will be able to achieve top qualityÂ higher education â€”aimed at the workplaceâ€”that is adequately suited to theÂ requirements of the labor market.
La evaluación en la universidad española.

The institutional process of evaluation in Spanish Universities began with thepreparation of the National Plan for Evaluating the Quality of Universities. The Plan wasÂ approved by the Council for Universities by means of a Royal Decree issued onÂ December 1, 1995. The objectives of this plan are quite explicit: On the one hand, it isÂ intended to rationalize investments made by the state in higher education, byÂ promoting an institutional evaluation in all universities so as to guarantee greaterÂ efficiency and effectiveness in the use of resources. On the other hand, it is intendedÂ to adopt in Spanish universities the principles, methods and training programs similarÂ to those beingimplemented to improve the quality of education both in the EuropeanÂ Union and other countries.
Formación general en la Universidad de Chile.

Published: August 2018

In 2000, the Universidad de Chile launched a very ambitious initiative that involved reforming its undergraduate studies program. It began by implementing the Basic University Education divided into six fields of knowledge. At this point, one can say that the process is irreversible, given the multiple effects caused by the features of this particular General Education Program that the Universidad de Chile has embarked on. The effects range from the huge enthusiasm of students and teachers, passing through innovations introduced in information and communications, the creation of an open education web site at www.cfg.uchile.cl and high-level training for academicians, to the spreading of the experience to other areas and the recovery of an academic space for collective debate and reflection â€“or conversationâ€“ which had previously been lost.

Authors: Volante Paulo , Díaz Alejandro , Tapia Oliver
Published: August 2018

At present, high expectations and requirements with regard to the role that should be played by directors, managers and other individuals responsible for conducting educational establishments have risen even more. In this respect, international research â€“particularly studies conducted according to rules in force in Anglo-Saxon academic circlesâ€“ and also in the national political discourse, are referring to the need to strengthen the abilities and performance of "educational leadershipâ€. Consequently, this paper discusses some key concepts related to the role described above. The article then goes on to describe the relationship between training models and international standards in educational leadership. It concludes with some recommendations related to the design of programs for training educational leaders in the national context. Of special interest are the proposals to use a network approach, an interdisciplinary method and a self-assessment system in the formulation and implementation of these curricular programs.

Authors: Balmaceda María Angélica , Cáceres Eugenio , Lecaros María José
Published: August 2018

This paper analyzes university outreach as an inherent part of university activities that differ from teaching and research. It attempts to establish a difference in the dimensions in which it is present. An effort of this kind can contribute to determine future potential objective goals regarding such actions, identifying what types of relations are established between outreach activitiesand teaching and research, and what its own inherent nature is supposed to be.
Una mirada regional a la extensión universitaria
Authors: Morales Héctor Luis
Published: August 2018

This paper presents an ambiguous examination from the viewpoint of the regions of university outreach activities especially from the Universidad de La Serena. On the one hand, it vindicates the value of local heritage and history as a valuable resource while at the same time it complains against the paradigm or prejudice that leads to ascribing value exclusively to what originates from the political, cultural and economic center of the country. One of the proposals is the need to produce synergies between supplementary assets to enhance the values that emerge from the universities throughout the country. Regional universities produce cultural raw material and this increases in value (and matures and triumphs) in national and foreign centers. New policies and institutional actions could create a more cooperative and less competitive relationship among the universities throughout the entire country.
Universidades, cultura y ley de donaciones: viejos y nuevos problemas.
Authors: Viera-Gallo José Antonio
Published: August 2018

The law of cultural donations has been an important tool for raising funds for initiatives of this type, enhancing the role of the private sector in this respect with the universities as one of the main beneficiaries. The new regulations that govern the law (also known as Law NÂº 19.885) have given rise to several difficulties, thereby complicating a method which was working well. Potential amendments to revert the system to its original viability by adding flexibility to the new limits and restrictions should also address other limitations demonstrated during its implementation. For instance, they should favor the association of higher education institutions with other centers, thereby encouraging their role as organizations that promote culture and that can contribute to place all applicants on the same level while encouraging a better territorial distribution of donations to avoid an excessive concentration of grants in a single area.

Authors: Lourido Patricio
Published: August 2018

This study is an extract of the research study conducted in the framework of a dissertation for a Masterâ€™s degree in Social Sciences (Sociology of Modernization), entitled "The Stateâ€™s Regulatory Processes in Higher Education in Chile during the period 1980 - 2002", presented at the School of Social Sciences, Universidad de Chile.The purpose of the study is to determine the regulatory mechanisms applied to higher education in Chile, in the framework of university accreditation in the 1990s. The study was carried out from a theoretical perspective in accordance with certain interpretative analytical categories in order to go beyond statistical analyses that currently exist in our country. From this perspective, it is based on the theoretical model developed by Pierre Bourdieu, viewing social reality as a scenario of fields. This structuralist approach allows us to approach the understanding of higher education as a structured social space of positions and objective relations, of struggles and powers developed historically.

Capital humano avanzado y desarrollo: un desafío de política pública para Chile en el tercer milenio.
Authors: Rodríguez Claudia , Munita María Isabel
Published: August 2018

In recent decades, Chile has experienced strong and sustained economic growth. This has placed the country in leading position in the region in terms of competitiveness and, furthermore, it has turned Chile into a place of preference for foreign investment. However, public policies are urgently required to encourage and develop a critical mass of advanced human capital at different levels, disciplines and fields of application. The authors propose that one of the challenges involved in training advanced human capital in Chile is for the higher education system to take on the structural transformations required to provide what is currently understood as continuing education throughout a person's lifetime, so as to permanently adapt to the new conditions imposed by scientific and technological development and by the labor market.

Idoneidad de los rankings universitarios
Authors: Valle Aldo
Published: August 2018

Rankings are part of the higher education system since they act on the expectations of users and the response of institutions. Their influence may even modify or interfere in the prevailing model of university in a society. Besides the public or private condition of the issuing agents, what is determinant is that they should be based on criteria and methodologies acknowledged by the respective academic communities, they should be independent and impartial, and they should use a plurality of criteria and quantifiable data. Prestige or reputation may result in unreliable describers of quality or excellence if they are not integrated with a number of other evaluation criteria.
