Authors: Oguedoihu Julia Chinwe , Adinchezor Ifeyinwa Patience
Published: November 2022

This paper investigated library and information services and security challenges in two selected academic libraries in South East, Nigeria. The study was guided by four research questions. The descriptive survey design was used and the population consisted of fifty-four (54) library staff in Federal Polytechnic Library, Oko, Anambra State, and forty-nine (49) library staff in Federal Polytechnic Library, Nekede, Imo State, summing up to the total number of one hundred and three (103) library staff from both tertiary institutions of study.. All one hundred and three (103) copies of questionnaires distributed were returned. The researchers adopted the entire population because the number is small and manageable as a sample size. The rating scale was the instrument used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentages and mean scores of 2.50 midpoint based on the research questions and arranged in tables. The study revealed that library staff from both tertiary institutions study were aware of different types of security measures available and that both management should avail adequate safety measures for library resources. The study also found that the need for security measures is important to safeguard library materials, also the causes and challenges were found that better attention should be given to security in library and information services to avoid destruction of library resources. The study concluded that library staff was aware of different types of security measures available in both conventional and electronic systems, that library management has to make a positive move towards improving the security system to avoid damages or losses of library resources, and it was recommended that management of the two institutions studied should provide security systems to protect library resources from crime, installation of CCTV, RFID, video recording surveillance and other electronic measures to monitor the library space for unwanted activity or theft. Among other recommendations to ensure better safety of libraries is much needed for the two selected academic libraries, in SouthEast Nigeria.

Authors: Porogo Keneilwe Margret
Published: November 2022

This study assessed the digital preservation regulatory frameworks for digital records infrastructures in selected ministries in Botswana. Several research studies have been conducted but they did not clearly provide the regulatory frameworks affecting the preservation of digital records in the Botswana public service. The study adopted a pragmatic paradigm and embedded mixed method approach, whereby a cross-sectional survey and case study were deployed in each of the six selected ministries as a unit of analysis. Few ministries had implemented electronic records management systems that were not capable of preserving digital records even though they were expected to provide reliable, authentic and understandable records. The results revealed Botswana's weak legal system for digital records preservation.

Published: November 2022

A cross-sectional survey was carried out in two Local Government Areas of Taraba State between the months of March to June, 2007, to asses the serological evidence of African Swine fever (ASF) virus antibodies in free range pig population. Extensive herds of pigs were targeted for this study, and a convenient sampling technique was employed based on the availability of pigs population as well as farmer’s willingness to allow their animals to be bled. A total of 304 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy pigs. Sera were tested using Blocking Enzyme linked Immuno Assay (B-ELISA).There was an overall seroprevalence of 48.7% (95% CI: 43.09- 54.3). Seroprevalence based on different locations showed a significantly (p<0.05) higher prevalence of ASF 61% (95% CI: 54.9-66.9) in Wukari LGA than 26% (95% CI: 15.3-39.4) in Karin Lamido LGA. Seropositivity based on sex revealed a higher seroprevalence in females 50.4% (95 %:( CI 44.3-56.5), than in males 40% (95%: CI 27.2-54.0). This study has shown that ASF is enzootic in free-range pig population in Taraba State which entails a potential danger to pig production with its attendance negative impact on food security and means of livelihood. We recommend an ASFV ecological study to unravel the factors responsible for continues circulation and maintenance of the virus in Nigerian pig population.

Published: November 2022

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is an important infectious disease of cattle caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides and a major constraint to cattle production in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was aimed to identify pathological and histopathological lesions identified in cattle tentatively diagnosed with CBPP at Yola Modern Abattoir, Adamawa State. A total of 9,750 cattle were examined at post-mortem for a period of six months, 110 (1.13%) had lesions suggestive of CBPP out of which seventeen (17) were randomly selected and processed for histopathology based on standard laboratory protocols. Based on sex, CBPP lesion was observed more in female 63 (1.06%) than in the male 47 (1.24%). Whereas, CBPP lesions was observed highest in White Fulani breed 68 (1.14%) followed by Cross breeds 23 (91.16%) and Sokoto Gudali 19 (1.74%) and lowest in Red Bororo 10 (1.36%). There was insignificant statistical association (P>0.05) between CBPP lesions and sex and breed of cattle sampled. Age distribution of CBPP lesion was observed higher in cattle between ages of 4-7 years 79 (1.16%), followed by cattle of 1-3 years 28 (1.15%) and least in cattle less than 1 year 3 (0.60%) with significant statistical difference (P<0.05) between the age groups. Histopathology lesions observed include severe congestion of pulmonary blood vessel in all the lung tissues and fibrin exudation into inter-alveolar spaces with almost all the alveoli collapsed. The bronchiolar epithelium was observed to be thickened, hyperplastic and folded, with a considerable quantity of edematous fluid and numerous inflammatory cells seen in the lumen. In conclusion, this study had demonstrated the presence of CBPP lesions in cattle in the study area. Therefore, serological screening of all cattle, stamping out policies and aggressive annual vaccination campaigns are thus recommended in the study area.

Many medicinal plants possess antioxidant properties. Antioxidant potentials of Cynodon dactylon and its haematological effects on Wistar rats was evaluated. In vitro radical scavenging activity was assessed using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Sixteen male Wistar rats were grouped into four groups of four rats each. Control group was fed normal rat feed and water, group 1 received 100 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) extract, group 2 received 200 mg/kg b. w. extract while group 3 received 400 mg/kg b. w. extract respectively for 21 days. Results showed that C. dactylon produced its optimum antioxidant activity against DPPH radical at a concentration of 400 mg/ml. At 100 mg/ml, optimum antioxidant activity was produced using FRAP. There was no significant (p> 0.05) difference in haemoglobin, red blood cell, platelet, white blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils concentration when compared to the control group. Antioxidant activity of the plant was low compared to that of the ascorbic acid. The observed antioxidant activity of the plant could be as a result of certain antioxidant compounds present in the plant. The extract showed minimal toxicity to haematological parameters at the doses administered.
The climate change dimension of human rights: due diligence and states’ positive obligations
Authors: Voigt Christina
Published: November 2022

This article analyses the substantive content of human rights obligations in Articles 2 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in the context of the Paris Agreement. It presents the argument that to comply with the positive obligation to secure human rights from the threats of climate change impacts, ECHR parties must take all adequate and appropriate measures at the level of their highest possible ambition to hold temperature increases to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to hold them to 1.5°C. Achieving this temperature goal necessitates the immediate, rapid, deep and sustained reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions so as to achieve a balance of emissions and removals (‘global climate neutrality’) by mid-century and net-negative GHG emissions thereafter. This requires each state to act with due diligence in having a comprehensive, effective and fair legal, administrative and institutional framework in place in order to pursue this temperature goal and to ensure its implementation, compliance and enforcement.

ABSTRACT: This study seeks to determine the functions of language for the professionalism of teachers who must communicate and convey information or material to students. This study employed a qualitative methodology. This research was conducted in schools located in Denpasar, Bali, with teachers as its subjects. The language functions utilized by the teacher can be mapped as follows: 44 phatic functions (23%), 34 metalingual functions (18%), 34 referential functions (18%), 34 conative functions (18%), 25 emotive functions (13%), and 19 poetic functions (10%). From the results of the study, it can be concluded that language functions in their professionalism as teachers, namely a phatic function that facilitates socialization and interaction between teachers and students; a metalingual function that teaches students the vocabulary they have not yet mastered; a referential function plays a role in conveying topics, information, or material to students; a conative function allows teachers to instruct something to students; an emotive function serves to motivate or develop relationships between teachers and students; and a poetic function plays a role for teachers who need poetic or aesthetic language when providing examples of poetry or other literary works.

Authors: Lik Au Sunny Chi
Published: November 2022

Introduction: It has been almost a year since our journal talked about ophthalmology conferences under the COVID-19 era [1]. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing throughout 2022, scholars and academics are finding their ways out for scientific exchange of knowledge and research advances [2]. Virtual conferences were mostly turning into hybrid form to cater for delegates from around the world both physically and electronically [3].

Going through the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) official website’s meeting calendar page, recent international conferences are 40th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) held on 16-20 September 2022; American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2022 held on 30 September to 3 October 2022, and 15th Asia-Pacific Vitreo-Retina Society (APVRS) Congress held on 18-20 November 2022. These are all conducted in hybrid formats. There are few similarities, but also differences, across these hybrid conferences.

Published: November 2022

This article is based on a poster presented at the International Myopia Conference which took place in Rotterdam, Holland in August 2022. The poster and the article were both self-funded. Due to lack of space on the poster not all possibilities were noted therefore only some were chosen. In a follow-up article I will investigate other options available on the market. I have no financial interest in any of the products mentioned in this article. My main objective is to give the eye care practitioner a set of tools to help him illustrate to the parents the reason why their child’s myopia should be treated, and not only corrected, and the importance of trying to slow its progression.

Microgreens are tender leafy vegetables which are popular among consumers due to their pleasing colors, textures, flavors, and high nutritive values. Microgreens are generally consumed fresh and in relatively large portion sizes. Tender cotyledons of carrot, beetroot, lettuce, amaranthus, cabbage etc. are popular as microgreens among local consumers at present. All most all exotic vegetable seeds found in domestic markets are treated with fungicide (Thiram: Tetramethylthiuram disulfide) thus pose a health risk. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the presence of fungicide residue in 3 microgreen varieties Amaranthus (Amaranthus viridis; var Red Thampala), Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus; var New Kurodaand and Mungbean (Vigna radiata; var MI 5). Seeds were sawn at 125 g/m2 rate on trays with a coir dust medium and 30-36 LUX light was supplied continuously. Temperature, pH and RH of the growth medium were maintained at 28–30 °C, 5.5–6.0 and 90–95% while 70–78 % RH and 30–34 °C temperature were maintained as environmental conditions. Height at harvesting of 10 – 14 days old carrot and amaranthus microgreens were 7.5 cm while that of mungbean was 14 cm. Chlorophyll content and fungicide residue were analyzed in harvested microgreens and microbial growth of growth medium was checked. Amaranthuss and carrot had 1.1 CCI and mungbean had 2.4 CCI values as average chlorophyll contents at harvesting.  According to FTIR analysis thiram presented only in carrot microgreens and further quantifications are on progress. Mean results of standard plate count of growth medium were 10 CFU/ml in amaranthus and 11 CFU/ml in carrot and mungbean.

El síndrome de desmielinización osmótica incluye a la mielinólisis pontina y extrapontina, siendo la primera su forma de presentación clásica. Usualmente relacionado a correcciones rápidas de hiponatremia (sodio sérico menor de 135mEq/L), ha sido descrito en múltiples condiciones que pueden alterar la osmolaridad plasmática. La sintomatología es muy variada e incluye tetraparesia espástica, parálisis pseudobulbar, coma, convulsiones o el característico síndrome “locked in”, además de trastornos del comportamiento como falta de control en los impulsos, agresividad, síndromes depresivos, catatonia, mutismo y labilidad emocional. Años atrás fue una entidad de muy difícil diagnóstico, pero con la introducción de la resonancia magnética muchos casos oligosintomáticos o asintomáticos se han podido detectar, aunque no existe tratamiento conocido, puede ocurrir la recuperación espontánea.

Authors: Putra Arya M Iqbal Farhan , Syaiful  , Muchammad
Published: November 2022

Vortex generators are often used in the industrial world because they can improve heat transfer well. Vortex generators make it possible to mix hot and cold fluids to be more optimal than not using them. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the thermal-hydraulic of each case of a delta-winglet type vortex generator in a circular channel using numerical simulations. This modelling is carried out by varying the angle of the vortex generator type delta-winglet, namely, 90°, 105°, and 120°, which are arranged in a line, and the angle of attack in all cases is 30°. The Reynolds number is set from 4,000 to 12,000 with an interval of 2,000 and using the k-ω turbulent SST model. The working fluid used in this study is water. This fluid was chosen because it has better thermal conductivity than air, even though it has a higher viscosity and results in increased flow resistance. This study found that the highest heat transfer was a deltawinglet vortex generator at 90°, 105°, and 120°. But the delta-winglet, which has the highest heat transfer, will impact the increased flow resistance. Furthermore, the best thermal-hydraulic results were achieved in the case of the delta-winglet vortex generator at an angle of 120° of 2.47.

The proportion for public greenery open space (GOS) in the city is, at least, 20 (twenty) percent of the city area. Meanwhile, the proportion for private greenery open space (GOS) in the city is 10 (ten) percent. Hence, the proportion identification is needed, and availability of greenery open space (GOS) in Ambon City is adjusted with the provision of Act Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning.Purposes of the Research: This research aims to identify the proportion and availability of greenery open space in Ambon.Methods of the Research: This research is doctrinal research using secondary data. The secondary data used is primary legal material, secondary legal material, and tertiary legal material. Library research is used as technique of data collection. Furthermore, technique of analysis data used in this research is qualitative data analysis with historical approach.Results of the Research: The Significance of total population also affects the decrease of air quality in the environment. The decrease of environmental quality can be returned by preserve the amount of greenery open space as stated in the applicable statutory provisions. The availability of greenery open space is also affected by the remaining amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced both from motorized vehicles and humans, because the carbon dioxide produced is directly proportional to the population. Total carbon dioxide emissions produced is 393,295.56 ton/year. Thus, the need of Greenery Open Space in Ambon is 10,783.39 ha, with details; greenery open space for public is 7,188.92 ha and for private is 3,594.46 ha from total population of 371,650 people with area of 35,944.62 ha. The need for ideal greenery open space in Ambon is still sufficient to absorb the remaining carbon dioxide emissions.

The purpose of this work is to relate two models of looking towards America by the European subject. In the first place, the visual expressions that the first explorers had with respect to the American man are considered. Two types of beings are addressed, the cynocephalians and the acephalous. Subsequently, two images belonging to the scientific research of the 19th century are analysed, where an exhaustive and rigorous model is expressed under the epistemological matrix of modern sciences. The expressions that draw from the classical and medieval Christian tradition are contrasted and, on the other hand, the analytical images based on the empirical.
A Causal Study On Hybrid Model And Its Impact On Employee Job Performance
Authors: N. Chellam , Dr. Divya D
Published: November 2022

Organizations are changing to meet the changing needs of their customers and employees. The functional way of working from conservative to technological mode has gained the attention of employers to be more focused on employees' work life balance and performance. In the technology era, the concept of hybrid models has become most commonly adopted in the third decade of the 21st century, especially in the IT sector. They were conducting research with millennial generations when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, causing an abrupt global change. This has completely changed the way the organisation was functioning and affected each and every aspect of its functions. This includes working style, communication patterns, working hours, job performance, and interpersonal relationships.

Organizations are forced to implement the hybrid model to meet the changing needs of the business to ensure the business runs on its own and employees are performing at their best. The digital transformation has become the medium of choice for organisations to integrate the office workplace and flexible working hours. Employees nowadays prefer to work from home because technology allows them to work from anywhere while still having time to care for their families. This was the least preferred for employers before the pandemic, and after the pandemic, the employee’s choice has become the liberal working style. To meet the changing needs of the employees, the hybrid work model is implemented across the globe at all levels. Though it gives the advantage of working from anywhere, at the same time, it has impacted job performance. The individual contributor’s performance was doing well, but team performance has suffered remarkably. The teleworking model has affected interpersonal relationships among employees and job performance has become a questionable element for organizations. The front line managers are focused on tasks, extended working hours, and the employees' personal concerns are ignored due to lack of personal touch and exchange of encouraging words. This impacted the job performance and led to high employee turnover. Organizations are trying to address employees' concerns through various programmes to build relationships and improve job performance. The objective of this study is to analyse the impact of the hybrid model and to provide insights on how to manage employees to perform better at work.

The main stages of the formation of the quaternary deposits at the right-hand bank of the Big Ob are characterized. For the first time, the Pitl’ar alluvium comparable with MIS-7 (II3) was separated into a stratotype. The Pitl’ar alluvium is widely distributed as megaclastes in the Khashgort glaciocomplex. Based on the reference sections, it was demonstrated that the local alluvial sands were deposited at a similar hypsometric level as a result of lateral erosion and accumulation. We recorded intensive changes in height of the lower contacts of fluvioglacial deposits formed at the stages of the descent of the sub-glacial lakes namely at the Tazovsky stage (II4), matched to MIS-6, and the Early Zyryanovsk stage (III2), matched to MIS-5b, d. These two events intensively dissected vast territories at the deglaciation stages that led to the formation of a complex picture of the geological structure of the local quaternary strata. A scheme of relationships of quaternary sediments for the right-hand bank of the Big Ob is constructed.
Advective nature of ring crater structures on the Moon and Earth,
problems of their astrobleme interpretation
Authors: BARYSHEV ALEXANDER
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we compare different-scale ring crater structures on the surface of the Moon and the Earth. Here we show the regular zonal change of craters of different sizes around the largest crater on the Moon and the periodicity of the distribution of craters along the lines according to the wave principle. On Earth, we consider the position of the famous Arizona crater, the relationship with the external environment and structural features that cast doubt on its astrobleme nature. Arguments are given about the possible terrestrial origin of the specific largest iron meteorites found without craters, and the ambiguous diagnosis of explosion products attributed to those associated with meteorite impacts.
African Hermeneutics of Western education: A case of Yuyi Wamunyima Mupatu of Barotseland, Zambia, 1897-1982
Authors: Muyoba Liwakala
Published: November 2022

An African proverb states that “until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter”. This is the case of the historiography of Western education in Africa, which was largely Eurocentric. Unlike many studies that are Eurocentric, the objectives of this article were to examine the history of education in Africa from the African’s point of view; to demonstrate that Africans were not passive recipients, but that they engaged Western education in a dialogue with indigenous African education. This has been achieved by examining the career of Yuyi Wamunyima Mupatu of Mongu-Lealui district, a man who made a significant contribution to the hermeneutics of Western education in Zambia. He became a teacher at Barotse National School but was twice fired for refusing to compromise on quality education. Mupatu led a movement that significantly decolonized education in a time which was forbidding. He established Makaplulwa School in 1945 but the school was closed due to local governance challenges in 1949. In 1963, the school reopened. Today Makapulwa School stands as Mupatu Combined School in Limulunga district. The study concludes that Mupatu’s is contribution to education is a demonstration of African people’s capability to interpret western culture and also their desire to retain what was African even as they embraced the West. It is a story of adoption, interpretation and adaptation of Western education. Mupatu was a product of both the Barotse indigenous education and Western education. To present this discourse, I relied on primary sources, mainly information from those who knew him; family members and his former pupils, his biography and other secondary sources on the subject. The study is significant because it highlights the people’s aspirations of what education should be in Africa.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Caring for children who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) is challenging. The goal of this study was to find out the prevalence of burnout and what factors contribute to it. We also want to know the correlation between caretaker’s strain and burnout. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that involved caretakers of children with CKD. They were recruited from a university hospital in Kelantan, Malaysia. Self-administered questionnaire in Malay language comprised of Demographic Information Form, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI-M) and Caregiver Strain Index (CSI-M) was used. Results: Eighty-eight caretakers were involved in this study. The mean age of caretakers was 42 years old, majority were female (72.4%), Malay (99.0%) and Muslim (99.0%). The mean age of children with CKD was 11 years old, most of them were on medication (69.3%) and mean duration of illness was 4.6 years. The prevalence of burnout in all domains (personal, work-related, client-related) among the caretakers was 5.7%. Eight caretakers had personal burnout (9.1%) while five (5.7%) had client-related and work-related burnout respectively. Multiple linear regression showed positive association of duration since the initial diagnosis and total ward admission within six months with total burnout score. Pearson correlation revealed a positive and fair correlation between strain and burnout. Conclusion: Prevalence of burnout among caretakers was generally low, but personal burnout outnumbered other domains. Children with CKD with longer duration of illness and more frequent ward admission are the important factors leading to burnout among caretakers. A high number of caretakers having significant strain indicated that there were possibilities of developing burnout later on.
Cuantificación del déficit hidrológico reciente en la región de Cuyo a partir de indicadores de caudales bajos
Authors: Rivera Juan , Lauro Carolina , Otta Sebastián Alfredo
Published: November 2022

Esta investigación realiza una cuantificación del déficit en los caudales superficiales de los principales ríos de la región de Cuyo, asociado a la extraordinaria sequía hidrológica registrada desde el año 2010. Estos déficits presentan valores récord en el contextode los últimos 50 años, en particular durante el año hidrológico 2019/20. Las diferencias regionales en los valores de déficit acumulado permiten establecer que la mayor severidad se observó en las cuencas de los ríos Atuel y Colorado, las cuales enpromedio registraron caudales por debajo del percentil de excedencia del 80% (Q80) durante el período 2010/11-2019/20. A partir de la estandarización del déficit acumulado por el volumen de los embalses de la región, se obtuvo una medida de fácil interpretación y aplicación para el monitoreo y la toma de decisiones en relación al impacto de la sequía hidrológica en la disponibilidad de agua dulce regional.
Rara teoría de la distancia
Authors: Martí Olga
Published: November 2022

Este texto es un estudio sobre la distancia. Hablaríamos de distancia espacial, un intervalo entre cuerpos que ahora, como nunca, ha tomado relevancia convirtiéndose en algo temido, a toda costa a evitar. Pero también existiría una distancia temporal, que media entre sucesos o ritmos, que es diferencia, fuga, que puede tener sentido abstracto o ser minuciosamente calculada. ¿A qué distancia deben separarse los cuerpos para no sentirse abordados?, ¿a qué distancia colocarse para no estar alejados?, ¿qué distancia ocupa quien desea la solitud, quien prefiere simplemente distanciarse? Este trabajo aborda y ensaya la distancia. Lo hace situándola en el contexto actual y a partir de la defensa que hiciesen pensadores, creadores o casos de estudio como Lee Lozano, quienes la consideraron necesaria para trabajar, pensar o respirar, e incluso, en la sociedad contemporánea, como micropolítica que permite agrietar la inercia del movilismo, la repetición y homogeneización de subjetividades, tiempos y formas de vida.
The nitrogen dynamics of Deer Cave, Sarawak, and the role of bat caves as biogeochemical sinks in Tropical Moist Forests
Authors: Lundberg Joyce , McFarlane Donald , Van Rentergem Guy
Published: November 2022

A better understanding of the role of bat caves as nitrogen sinks in tropical moist forest ecosystems can be expected to shed light on regional and spatial variability in nutrient recycling studies. We measured the nitrogen flux (in air and water) associated with a very large Chaerephon plicata bat colony in Deer Cave, Borneo, in the process generating a new, quantitative, estimate of the total bat population (774,828 ±48,320), and the first detailed modelling of an ammonia plume in a cave. Long-term storage of N does not occur in this wet cave. Our final budget numbers indicate that, of the daily input of N (i.e., ecologically-useful fixed-N in guano) to this cave, ammonia production is minor (and most of it is exported in water rather than air). The conclusion is that the export budget is dominated (perhaps as large as 94.4%) by microbial denitrification of fixed-N to diatomic N exported in air. Deer Cave thus acts as a nitrogen sink, potentially removing up to 39% of the ecologically-useful fixed-N from the total forest nitrogen budget over an area of hundreds of square kilometers.

modelo de crecimiento con tecnología inapropiada
Authors: Mayorga Quiros Román
Published: November 2022

Se presenta aquí un modelo diseñado para mostrar, de manera simplificada pero matemática, el patrón de crecimiento económico que han venido experimentando los países de América Latina en las últimas décadas. El modelo especifica el tipo de Tecnología supuesta y su interrelación con otras variables socio-económicas, con el objeto de explicar un proceso que aumenta sostenidamente el producto real per cápita de la economía, pero genera al mismo tiempo un número absoluto cada vez mayor de desempleados e indigentes. A efectos de la selección tecnológica, el modelo sugiere que el objetivo de pleno empleo es tan importante o más para la sociedad, que el objetivo de rápido crecimiento económico.

penetración de la tecnología en El Salvador a través de la educación
Authors: Montes Segundo
Published: November 2022

En la década de los años cincuenta se produce un cambio en la política nacional, y se fomenta una filosofía del desarrollismo. Consecuente con esto, es necesario realizar una Reforma Educativa que capacite la mano de obra cualificada que requiere el proceso de desarrollo tecnológico e industrial. Pronto se ven los resultados de esta política, y la demanda educativa en las ramas técnicas, a todos los niveles, se multiplica año con año. A la vez es necesaria la implementación de laboratorios y otros medios técnicos de enseñanza que implican altas inversiones económicas. Los países suministradores de estos equipos, además de introducir por este medio su propia tecnología, aseguran un permanente mercado que beneficia en primer lugar a tales países. El Salvador, por su parte, lejos de alcanzar una autonomía científica y tecnológica, y de propiciar la investigación autóctona, vincula más profundamente su economía a los países desarrollados, acentuando su dependencia.
