Natural Conditioning of the Spiritual Life: A Contribution to Methodological Reflection
Authors: Matuszewski Krzysztof Marek
Published: December 2020

The spiritual life constitutes an integral experience of any person being led by the Holy Spirit toward full communion with God. It is never something abstract, divorced from Sitz im Leben, in either the psychological aspect or the socio-cultural dimension, thus it always bears certain signs of one’s temperament, environment, and history. The present paper proposes a methodology of research into the natural basis of the spiritual life (psychological and socio-cultural), which influences the way God’s grace is received and experienced. The natural structures of the spiritual life constitute the ground, which is submitted to God’s salvific action and bears fruit in various forms. The description of the spiritual life demands the use of the appropriate methodology, which can be based on the combination of the doctrinal-sapiential (deductive) approach and the existential-anthropological (inductive) approach. An important auxiliary role in the description of the spiritual phenomenon can be played by psychological methods, for instance those that derive from the psycho-biographical approach, which allows us to capture what is unique in human functioning.
The Foundations of the Human Person’s Dynamism in Karol Wojtyła’s Anthropology. A Study in Light of “The Acting Person”
Authors: Duma Tomasz
Published: December 2020

In traditional anthropology, the problem of the dynamism of the human being was explained by means of human faculties that were seen as distinct from one another on the basis of the activities of man. Having accepted that the traditional approach is well-known and thoroughly elaborated, Karol Wojtyła proposed a complementary approach,  enhancing the classical explanation of human dynamism by following the basic intuition of the person who reveals himself in action. In this article, through several steps, the author presents the framework of the basic thesis of Karol Wojtyła's anthropology, which claims that the action performed by man includes the truth about not only his personal dynamism, but also the very subject of that dynamism itself, that is, the human person. The author shows Wojtyła's stance beginning with the distinction of personal action made against the background of other forms of human dynamism. Then, he describes Wojtyła’s methods of explanation in reference to the Aristotelian theory of act and potency. Continuing, he analyzes the problem of causativeness of action, which will turn out to be crucial for understanding man as a person. Finally, he sketches Wojtyla's conception of the fulfillment of man through his action.
Zeugizō: The Language of Marital Infidelity in the Account of Treachery Toward the Ancestral Laws in 1 Macc 1:15
Authors: Nawrot Janusz
Published: December 2020

The present article deals with a linguistic issue well known in the Bible but not usually overtly present in the terminology of Hebrew and Greek Scripture. It concerns the sexual sphere of human life and is expressed by the verb zeugizō (1 Macc 1:15). This term appears only once in the Septuagint and is not featured in any of the other inspired books. However, the discovery of a non-biblical text which includes the term in question, as well as the inclusion of the verb by the Jewish authors of the Greek Bible from the 2nd century AD, shed important light on the sense of the verb in the First Book of the Maccabees. The exegesis carried out reveals just how harsh was the hagiographer’s critique of, and judgment upon, the supporters of the Hellenization of Judea.
Relaciones laborales: Sindicatos y actores de la región de Los Ríos, Chile
Authors: Sanhueza Burgos Horacio , Salazar Concha Cristian , Olivares Ramírez Amparo , Wagemann Hernández, Renate
Published: December 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivos analizar las relaciones entre sindicatos y distintos actores en la región de Los Ríos en Chile, e identificar los principales factores que influyen en la disminución de los trabajadores afiliados. Se desarrolló una investigación de tipo descriptiva, con diseño no experimental, transeccional, de campo. Se aplicaron cuatro cuestionarios distintos a 72 actores que interactúan con los sindicatos como son: trabajadores, sindicalizados y no sindicalizados, empresarios de distintas organizaciones de la región y entidades del Estado. Los resultados revelan como principales causas de la baja afiliación a sindicatos: los beneficios que adquieren los sindicalizados son los mismos otorgados a los que no están sindicalizados; las altas cuotas de afiliación que algunos sindicatos establecen; el tiempo que demandan las reuniones; y una discriminación en ambos sentidos, entre los trabajadores sindicalizados y los no sindicalizados. Se concluye que las relaciones entre los sindicatos y los distintos actores involucrados son buenas o excelentes, por lo que el sistema tiende a la concertación y no a la confrontación y, asimismo, que la desafiliación se explica debido a que los trabajadores dejan de sentirse identificados con los dirigentes y/o no están de acuerdo con sus visiones, estilo de liderazgo y gestión.
Análisis comparativo de la situación laboral de las mujeres en México (1995-2014)
Authors: Cervantes José Juan
Published: December 2020

En las investigaciones sobre el mercado de trabajo, la situación ocupacional de las mujeres es calificada mayoritariamente como de alta precariedad y desigualdad (global, regional y nacional), pues todavía laboran en actividades que no les garantizan el desarrollo profesional y personal; aun sopesando la disminución acontecida de algunas brechas de género (últimos 20 años). Con este argumento y con el objetivo de demostrar que la condición laboral femenina en México (1995-2014) tiene algunas particularidades divergentes con la generalización antes mencionada, para probar el supuesto, la investigación utilizó los postulados de la heterogeneidad estructural y laboral, y una metodología comparativa (economía formal e informal), con datos de encuestas de trabajo del país base. Con esta estrategia, se construyeron una serie de algoritmos que ayudaron en la realización de tabulaciones para abordar el fenómeno desde la perspectiva de interés. Los resultados indicaron la coexistencia de situaciones que contradijeron el consenso prevaleciente de estas actividades y por el contrario descubre escenarios poco estudiados, por lo cual, es necesario explicar estas discordancias y proponer nuevas investigaciones para entender integralmente la problemática.

Published: December 2020

El aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida es concebido como un proceso de formación en ámbitos que trascienden a los de la educación formal, ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia del reconocimiento y certificación de las habilidades y destrezas adquiridas por una persona a lo largo de toda su vida. Organizaciones internacionales como la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura -UNESCO- (2016), han impulsado el proceso de validación de aprendizajes, y la conformación de un marco nacional de cualificaciones. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo determinar las categorías de ocupación de la población económicamente activa en Venezuela susceptibles a realizar la validación o certificación de saberes y su ubicación dentro del territorio. El diseño de la investigación es no experimental bibliográfico, con un tipo de estudio descriptivo y se emplean fuentes de información secundarias, específicamente, la encuesta de hogares por muestreo del segundo semestre del año 2012. Se realiza un análisis estadístico en dos etapas: análisis descriptivo y análisis de correspondencias múltiples, determinando el perfil de las personas que pudieran realizar la acreditación de experiencias y encabezar el marco nacional de cualificaciones, en especial aquellas vinculadas al sector agrícola, construcción y técnico.
Internaciones inadecuadas: su impacto en la eficiencia del uso de la cama hospitalaria
Authors: Moscoso, Nebel Silvana , Pisani María Virginia
Published: December 2020

Los hospitales constituyen entidades orientados a satisfacer las necesidades del paciente desde su ingreso y durante todo el proceso de atención. Un indicador frecuentemente utilizado para evaluar la eficiencia en el aprovechamiento del recurso cama de los servicios de internación hospitalaria es el promedio de días de estadía. El objetivo del presente artículo es describir el impacto de las internaciones inadecuadas en la evaluación de la eficiencia del recurso cama. Para ello se realizó un estudio descriptivo en base a una revisión de la literatura de los indicadores utilizados para la medición del producto hospitalario en el área de internación y de aquellos que miden su eficiencia. Se consideraron publicaciones entre 2000 y 2015, así como lecturas previas que representan aportes significativos en la disciplina objeto de estudio. Como resultados, la estadía promedio no permite: i) discriminar la complejidad de los casos, ii) reconocer las situaciones poco frecuentes y con valores extremos (outliers), iii) emitir juicios de valor con respecto a la adecuación de cada día de estancia hospitalaria. Finalmente, debido a las debilidades descriptas, el indicador estadía media no reconoce potenciales ineficiencias internas de los servicios de internación, donde estadías prolongadas o extremadamente cortas podrían manifestar deficientes desempeños del servicio.

Discurso estratégico y realidad contextual en organizaciones de Medellín
Authors: Urribarrí Óscar , Romero Douglas
Published: December 2020

En las actuales circunstancias las organizaciones requieren de implementar procesos estratégicos capaces de garantizar un estatus de competitividad sostenible. Este artículo reporta el resultado de una investigación realizada en un grupo de organizaciones de Medellín, Colombia, con el objetivo de analizar las relaciones entre el discurso asociado a la dirección estratégica y la realidad organizacional. El proceso metodológico se basó en la teoría fundamentada con asistencia del programa Atlas ti. Los resultados muestran que los miembros de las organizaciones estudiadas, en todos los niveles jerárquicos, atribuyen a los elementos de la dirección estratégica un significado asociado al campo de la gestión de la calidad, lo cual trae como consecuencia la anulación del proceso de direccionamiento estratégico, en tanto orienta a los colaboradores a centrar el esfuerzo en el nivel táctico u operativo en una dinámica reactiva en detrimento de la proactividad inherente a la visión estratégica. En conclusión, es importante invertir el orden como se conciben la gerencia estratégica y el sistema de gestión de calidad, en cuyo caso el logro de las metas dependería más del compromiso motivado de los involucrados que, de la efectividad de controles establecidos, para el aseguramiento de un estándar de desempeño aceptable de los colaboradores

Authors: Meleán Romero Rosana , Ferrer María Alejandra
Published: December 2020

Se analiza la gestión de costos de producción en ganadería bovina doble propósito del municipio Valmore Rodríguez, estado Zulia. Se recurrió al conocimiento científico asumiendo concepciones sistémicas, enmarcadas en el paradigma cuantitativo. Desde la perspectiva teórico-documental, se discutieron documentos especializados; esto permitió diseñar un instrumento de recolección de información, aplicado en 36 unidades de producción. Los procesos de producción desarrollados no se encuentran documentados y presentan los siguientes resultados por etapas desarrolladas en las unidades estudiadas: Gestación (33%), crianza (72%) y ordeño (92%), no se realiza la actividad de levante; de ellos derivan productos como leche (36%), carne (5%) y ambos (58%); no existen registros contables de operaciones productivas (97%), ni se disponen de sistemas de acumulación de costos, ni de estructuras de costo (100%). Concluyendo que no se lleva a cabo una gestión de costos de manera formal, los costos de producción no se contabilizan, como consecuencia de la falta de registros productivos y contables, siendo evidente la inexistencia de sistemas de acumulación y estructuras de costos que permitan tomar decisiones básicas sobre factores productivos y su incorporación o mantenimiento en las unidades de producción; es decir no son gestionados de manera formal

Published: December 2020

This report includes a summary of the 2016 foliar fungicide programs for control of early and late leaf spot and white mold (southern stem rot) in peanut at Jay, Florida. It shows the effectiveness of 13 fungicide programs for disease control. All programs contained active ingredients for the control of white mold (Sclerotium rolfsii) except the Bravo treatment (program #2), which was considered a control. These data represent only one year at one location, and readers are cautioned that test results should be considered over several locations and years before final conclusions are considered valid. These data are meant to serve as a guide in the selection of effective fungicide programs for peanut.
Micronutrients Considerations for Warm-Season Grass Systems in Florida
Authors: Griffin Jane C. , Vendramini Joao Mauricio Buen , Rowland Diane L. , Silveira Maria Lucia
Published: December 2020

Warm-season grasses are vital to livestock production systems and dominate ground cover in tropical and subtropical areas. Many popular warm-season grasses, such as bahiagrass and bermudagrass, have roots that penetrate deeper into the soil profile, which aids in both drought tolerance, nutrient uptake, and the minimization of soil erosion. In Florida, spodosols are the predominant soil order used for forage production and have limited fertility. Micronutrients are essential elements that are required in smaller quantities than macronutrients but are equally as important for proper plant growth and performance. An element can be considered essential for plant growth if a plant fails to complete its life cycle in the absence of the element, the elements action is specific and cannot be completely replaced by another element, it has a direct effect on the organism, or it is a constituent of a molecule that is known to be essential. The objective of this publication is to describe the role of micronutrients in warm-season grass production.

Natural Area Weeds: Mexican Petunia (Ruellia simplex)
Authors: Wilson Sandra B. , Burkhead Adrienne , Adams Carrie Reinhardt , Freyre Rosanna , Fox Alison M. , Stocker Randall
Published: December 2020

Minor Revision.

Ruellia simplex (Mexican bluebell, Mexican petunia, or Britton's wild petunia) is an herbaceous perennial (USDA Hardiness Zone 8–11) in the family Acanthaceae. Five species of Ruellia are native to Florida, and three non-native species are listed as naturalized in the state, including R. simplex (Wunderlin et al. 2019). There has been some confusion about the name of this species, commonly referred to as Ruellia brittoniana, Ruellia coerulea, Ruellia tweediana, orRuellia malacosperma (USDA NRCS 2019; Wunderlin et al. 2019). Ruellia simplex C. Wright was the name used when this species was first described in Cuba in 1870; therefore, it has taxonomic priority (Ezcurra and Daniel 2007). This name is now widely used in the horticultural trade and amongst state agencies and will therefore be used in this publication.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ep415

Establishment and Production Costs for Peach Orchards in Florida: Enterprise Budget and Profitability Analysis
Authors: Singerman Ariel , Burani Arouca Marina , Olmstead Mercy A.
Published: December 2020

The article summarizes the establishment and production costs, as well as the potential profitability of a peach orchard in Florida. Our findings show the initial investment required for a peach operation in Florida to be $6,457 per acre; the expense in land preparation and planting alone in year 1 is $2,541 per acre. Variable and fixed costs in years 2 through 15 average $5,680 per acre. As an example of profitability, when using a 10% discount rate, an operation yielding 6,525 (7,254) pounds of marketable fruit per acre during its most productive years obtains a positive NPV when the average price is $2.38 ($2.13) per pound.

The Value of Private Non-Industrial Forestland for Wildlife Species Conservation
Authors: Johnson Shelly A. , Kroeger Timm , Horn Josh , Adams Alison E. , Adams Damian C.
Published: December 2020

Animals in Florida provide a variety of benefits to people, from recreation (fishing, hunting, or wildlife viewing) to protection of human life and property (oysters and corals provide reef structures that help protect coasts from erosion and flooding). By measuring the economic value of these benefits, we can assign a monetary value to the habitats that sustain these species and assess the value that is lost when development or other human-based activities degrade animal habitat. This 5-page fact sheet presents the results of a study that assessed the value of protecting five animal species in Florida and showed the economic value of protecting animal habitat.
Preventing Foodborne Illness: Clostridium perfringens

Published: December 2020

The bacterium Clostridium perfringens causes of one of the most common type of foodborne gastroenteritis, often referred to as perfringens food poisoning, in the US (FDA 2012). It is associated with consuming contaminated food that contains great numbers of vegetative cells and spores that will produce toxin inside the intestine. There are two forms of disease caused by C. perfringens: gastroenteritis and enteritis necroticans. The latter disease, also known as pig-bel disease, is not common in the US. It is often associated with contaminated pork (FDA 2012) and can be very severe.

Epiphytic Plants of Citrus in Florida
Authors: Kanissery Ramdas , Zekri Mongi
Published: December 2020

Epiphytes are a group of plants that grow on citrus by using the trees for anchorage and support. These plants are not in direct contact with the ground and obtain moisture and nutrients from the air and rainfall.  Even though directly harmless to the citrus trees, excessive growth of epiphytes may be a problem as they result in competition for sunlight, inhibition of growth, and may obstruct the harvesting and chemical spraying. Physical removal and copper sprays are effective measures to eradicate epiphytes from the citrus trees.

Coastalplain Honeycombhead, Balduina angustifolia
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Coastalplain honeycombhead is found in beach dunes, coastal grasslands, and scrub throughout Florida and into Alabama and Mississippi. It is a prolific flower and seed producer that attracts numerous pollinators, including the gulf fritillary butterfly. Interestingly, the endemic, solitary, and ground-dwelling coastal plain Hesperapis (Hesperapis oraria), also known as Balduina bee, is completely dependent on the coastalplain honeycombhead for survival, only emerging from the ground a few weeks each year in September to October to collect pollen and nectar (Hunsburger 2013). This bee only occurs on barrier islands and peninsulas in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Hunsburger 2013) and is particularly vulnerable to climate-change-driven sea-levelrise and habitat fragmentation.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg163

Note: This fact sheet is also available as a chapter in a comprehensive manual titled Dune Restoration and Enhancement for the Florida Panhandle,  Please see the manual for more information about other useful and attractive native plants for dunes and for further information about restoration and preservation techniques.

Yaupon is found throughout Florida south to Lake Okeechobee and more broadly throughout the southeast west to Texas and east to North Carolina. The leaves and small twigs of yaupon contain caffeine, and yaupon teas have been consumed by humans for centuries. The fruits and flowers of yaupon attract wildlife, especially birds and pollinators, and it is a larval host plant for Henry’s elfin butterfly (Callophrys henrici) (Lotts and Naberhaus 2017). Yaupon is used in landscaping and can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions. Several cultivars are available in the horticultural industry. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg172

Gulf Coast Lupine, Lupinus westianus var. westianus
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Gulf coast lupine (Lupinus westianus var. westianus) is listed as threatened by the Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act, Chapter 5B-40, Florida Administrative Code, 1998, amended (Wunderlin et al. 2017). The species is endemic to coastal counties in the western Panhandle of Florida. Two disjunct populations are noted with Lupinus westianus var. aridorum occurring only in the central peninsula of Florida. Gulf coast lupine occurs in beach dunes, coastal grasslands, coastal scrub, sandhills, and disturbed areas such as roadsides. Gulf coast lupine can be distinguished from a similar lupine (L. diffusus) by the lack of a petiole. Several pollinators are sustained by gulf coast lupine, and the inflorescences are remarkably showy. Lupines form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms within the soil (Gutiérrez Mañero et al. 2003).https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg175
