Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development
Authors: Abubakar Emmanuel
Published: August 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment on poverty reduction and economic development

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: The study revealed that FDI significantly contributes to poverty reduction and economic development. FDI is linked to higher economic growth rates, driven by its infusion of capital, technology, and market access. This influx of investment creates jobs in host countries, particularly in labor-intensive sectors, effectively reducing unemployment and improving living standards. Additionally, FDI promotes technology transfer and innovation, enhancing the competitiveness of domestic industries. Furthermore, FDI's positive spillover effects extend to human capital development through skill training and improved employability, leading to higher wages and overall poverty reduction. These findings underscore FDI's multifaceted role in fostering sustainable economic growth and social progress.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Dependency Theory and Resource-Based may be used to anchor future studies on Foreign Direct Investment. Investment Promotion Agencies should establish effective investment promotion agencies to attract quality FDI, offering incentives, streamlined regulations, and investor support services. Stringent environmental regulations should be enforced to prevent FDI from causing negative environmental externalities and promote sustainable development practices.

Authors: KARAKUŞ Ferhat
Published: August 2023

The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes of 3rd and 4th grade students towards the use of technology in science lessons during the 3rd and 4th centuries. The study utilised a quantitative research method employing a survey design. An attitude scale comprising 30 items was developed using a 3-point Likert scale, including options such as "yes," "no," and "sometimes," suitable for primary school students. After the preliminary application and expert opinions, the items of the scale were revised, resulting in a reduced scale consisting of 23 items. The 23-item scale was administered to a sample of 269 students randomly selected from 3rd and 4th grade students attending Konya Central Primary Schools. Following the analysis of the collected data, the scale was further reduced to 10 items. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value, which assesses the applicability of the scale to factor analysis for determining construct validity, was found to be 0.95. The scale items exhibited factor loads ranging from 0.72 to 0.90, indicating a unidimensional structure that accounted for 67% of the total variance. To evaluate the reliability of the scale, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was computed and yielded a value of =0.944, indicating high reliability. Consequently, a valid and reliable attitude scale was successfully developed to assess the attitudes of 4th grade students in primary schools towards the use of technology in science lessons, contributing to the existing literature in this field.
Teaching Practicum in English Language Teaching (ELT): A Systematic Review
Authors: ŞAHİN İbrahim
Published: August 2023

As a three-handed social process including pre-service teachers, teacher educators from academia, and mentor teachers from schools of practice, teaching practicum, with its reflective and collaborative notions, has recently gained more interest in the field of English language teaching (ELT). In this regard, this systematic review aimed to find out recent research based on teaching practicum in ELT. Regarding the PRISMA guidelines and clear eligibility criteria, the review included a total of 24 research articles based on the ELT teaching practicum. Of the articles, the majority were qualitative studies and mostly conducted in EFL (English as a foreign language) contexts such as Türkiye and Indonesia. MAXQDA (v.2020) software-based content analysis was conducted to analyze data, and the findings were demonstrated via tables including themes, categories, and codes. The study concluded that teaching practicum has several professional (e.g., theoretical and practical awareness, classroom management, and reflective practice) and personal gains (e.g., positive beliefs and attitudes toward ELT, reflectivity, more interaction and communication, and self-confidence) for pre-service ELT teachers. On the other hand, the selected studies also stressed negative professional aspects (e.g., the incompatibility between theory and practice, lack of feedback, and inefficient mentoring) and personal (e.g., lack of reflectivity, adaptation problems, and lack of social contact). The review lastly included implications revealed by these studies to shed light on the issue of ELT practicum for supporting further research.

The “civilization-language-culture” relationship in reading books for teaching in French to allophone schoolchildren (1885–1930): A window opened to the past
Authors: Spaëth Valérie
Published: August 2023

The study of excerpts from five reading books intended for African allophone children between the end of the nineteenth and the first third of the twentieth century makes it possible to delineate the history of these fascinating objects located in a system of historicity that has disappeared. While these texts were initially intended to be read to learn a non-native language (French) and to anchor or transmit exogenous or already hybridized values, they give rise to multiple interpretations. These textbooks thus offer keys to grasping the complexity of the processes that construct the relationship between civilization, language, and culture. Indeed, they were able to serve both colonial propaganda and the pedagogical ideals of the teachers to promote a form of assimilation or integration.

Workload is a condition that burdens the workforce, both physically and non-physically in completing work. Excessive workload can cause a person to become nervous which leads to stress. Workload must be considered because workload can affect nurse performance and indirectly affect nursing services to patients. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there is a relationship between workload and nurse performance room at Advent Hospital. This type of research is quantitative research with a non-experimental design with a cross-sectional method. The object of this study were 34 nurses and the sampling technique used was total sampling where the entire population will be sampled. A questionnaire was used in collecting data and analyzed by using the Chi Square correlation test. The results show that the majority of nurses has a moderate workload of 25 respondents (73.5%) and the majority of nurses has good performance of 28 respondents (82.4%). The statistical results show that there is a significant relationship between workload and the performance of nurses in the inpatient ward of Advent Hospital, with a significance level of p value 0.02 (<0.05). So it can be concluded that the lighter the workload the better the nurse's performance. It is expected that the hospital will evaluate the workload and efforts of nurses to improve performance so as to improve the quality of service in providing nursing care services.

Painful ambivalence: A Marxist feminist analysis of moral anxiety and gendered class consciousness in “The Garden Party”
Authors: Khan Imdad Ullah , Saif Mahrukh , Alam Kainat
Published: August 2023

Through the utilization of Marxist feminist literary theory, the current article analyzes Catherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party" to examine the interconnected themes of class consciousness, gender, and social injustice. With a specific focus on the protagonist, Laura Sheridan, and her gradually evolving awareness of class, the article examines the narrative's suburban New Zealand setting and the social hierarchy between the affluent Sheridans and their less fortunate neighbors. The luxurious garden party serves as a poignant reminder of the upper class's disconnection from society and their condescending attitudes towards individuals of lower status. In addition to this, the article delves into gender and its effects on the characters' experiences and expectations. Its objective is to gain an understanding of the social realities of the time through the theoretical lens of Marxist feminism and address the pressing concerns of that era. Specifically, the article examines how Laura's representation of class consciousness reflects the societal power dynamics of the time, how the intersection of gender and class influences Laura's mixed feelings about the class system in her social environment, and how "The Garden Party" demonstrates the impact of class and gender on social hierarchies and power structures in the early twentieth century. The article draws attention to the pressing social concerns of the time. It demonstrates how the theoretical lens of Marxist feminism can aid in understanding the social realities of the past.

Abstract. The Portable Ice Nucleation Chamber 2 (PINCii) is a newly developed continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) for measuring ice nucleating particles (INPs). PINCii is a vertically oriented parallel-plate CFDC that has been engineered to improve upon the limitations of previous generations of CFDCs. This work presents a detailed description of the PINCii instrument and the upgrades that make it unique compared with other operational CFDCs.
The PINCii design offers several possibilities for improved INP measurements. Notably, a specific icing procedure results in low background particle counts, which demonstrates the potential for PINCii to measure INPs at low concentrations (<10 L−1). High-spatial-resolution wall-temperature mapping enables the identification of temperature inhomogeneities on the chamber walls. This feature is used to introduce and discuss a new method for analyzing CFDC data based on the most extreme lamina conditions present within the chamber, which represent conditions most likely to trigger ice nucleation. A temperature gradient can be maintained throughout the evaporation section in addition to the main chamber, which enables PINCii to be used to study droplet activation processes or to extend ice crystal growth.
A series of both liquid droplet activation and ice nucleation experiments were conducted at temperature and saturation conditions that span the spectrum of PINCii's operational conditions (-50≤ temperature ≤-15 ∘C and 100 ≤ relative humidity with respect to ice ≤160 %) to demonstrate the instrument's capabilities.
In addition, typical sources of uncertainty in CFDCs, including particle background, particle loss, and variations in aerosol lamina temperature and relative humidity, are quantified and discussed for PINCii.
Unfiltering of the EarthCARE Broadband Radiometer (BBR) observations: the BM–RAD product
Authors: Velázquez Blázquez Almudena , Baudrez Edward , Clerbaux Nicolas , Domenech Carlos
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The methodology to determine the unfiltered solar and thermal radiances from the measured EarthCARE BBR shortwave (SW) and totalwave (TW) filtered radiances is presented. Within the EarthCARE ground processing, the correction for the effect of the BBR spectral responses, the unfiltering, is performed by the so-called BM-RAD processor which produces the level 2 BM-RAD product. The BM-RAD product refers to unfiltered broadband radiances that are derived from the BBR and the Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI) instruments onboard of the forthcoming EarthCARE satellite. The method is based on theoretical regressions between filtered and unfiltered radiances, as is done for the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) and the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) instruments. The regressions are derived from a large geophysical database of spectral radiance curves simulated using radiative transfer models. Based on the radiative transfer computations, the unfiltering error, i.e., the error introduced by the small spectral variations of the BBR instrument response, is expected to remain well below 0.5 % in the shortwave (SW) and 0.1 % in the longwave (LW), at 1 standard deviation. These excellent performances are permitted by the very simple optics used in the BBR instrument: a telescope with a single paraboloid mirror. End-to-end verification of the unfiltering algorithm has been performed by running the BM-RAD processor on modeled Level 1 BBR radiances obtained for three EarthCARE orbits simulated by an integrated forecasting and data assimilation system. The resulting unfiltered radiances are eventually compared to the solar and thermal radiances derived by radiative transfer simulations over the three EarthCARE orbits. In addition, this end-to-end verification has provided further evidence on the high accuracy of the unfiltered radiance process, with accuracies better than 0.5 % for SW and better than 0.1 % for LW.
Gross primary productivity and the predictability of CO2: more uncertainty in what we predict than how well we predict it
Authors: Dunkl István , Lovenduski Nicole , Collalti Alessio , Arora Vivek K. , Ilyina Tatiana , Brovkin Victor
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The prediction of atmospheric CO2 concentrations is limited by the high interannual variability (IAV) in terrestrial gross primary
productivity (GPP). However, there are large uncertainties in the drivers of GPP IAV among Earth system models (ESMs). Here, we evaluate the impact
of these uncertainties on the predictability of atmospheric CO2 in six ESMs. We use regression analysis to determine the role of
environmental drivers in (i) the patterns of GPP IAV and (ii) the predictability of GPP. There are large uncertainties in the spatial distribution
of GPP IAV. Although all ESMs agree on the high IAV in the tropics, several ESMs have unique hotspots of GPP IAV. The main driver of GPP IAV is
temperature in the ESMs using the Community Land Model, whereas it is soil moisture in the ESM developed by the Institute Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL-CM6A-LR) and in the low-resolution configuration of the Max Planck Earth System Model (MPI-ESM-LR), revealing underlying differences in the
source of GPP IAV among ESMs. Between 13 % and 24 % of the GPP IAV is predictable 1 year ahead, with four out of six ESMs showing values of between 19 %
and 24 %. Up to 32 % of the GPP IAV induced by soil moisture is predictable, whereas only 7 % to 13 % of the GPP IAV induced by
radiation is predictable. The results show that, while ESMs are fairly similar in their ability to predict their own carbon flux variability, these predicted contributions to the atmospheric CO2 variability originate from different regions and are caused by different drivers. A higher coherence in atmospheric
CO2 predictability could be achieved by reducing uncertainties in the GPP sensitivity to soil moisture and by accurate observational products
for GPP IAV.

Abstract. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a promising tracer for the estimation of
terrestrial ecosystem gross primary production (GPP). However, understanding
its non-GPP-related sources and sinks, e.g., anthropogenic sources and soil
sources and sinks, is also critical to the success of the approach. Here we
infer the regional sources and sinks of COS using continuous in situ mole fraction
profile measurements of COS along the 60 m tall Lutjewad tower (1 m a.s.l.;
53∘24′ N, 6∘21′ E) in the Netherlands. To identify
potential sources that caused the observed enhancements of COS mole
fractions at Lutjewad, both discrete flask samples and in situ measurements
in the province of Groningen were made from a mobile van using a quantum
cascade laser spectrometer (QCLS). We also simulated the COS mole fractions
at Lutjewad using the Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport (STILT)
model combined with emission inventories and plant uptake fluxes. We
determined the nighttime COS fluxes to be -3.0±2.6 pmol m−2 s−1 using the radon-tracer correlation approach and Lutjewad
observations. Furthermore, we identified and quantified several COS sources,
including biodigesters, sugar production facilities and silicon carbide
production facilities in the province of Groningen. Moreover, the simulation
results show that the observed COS enhancements can be partially explained
by known industrial sources of COS and CS2, in particular from the Ruhr
Valley (51.5∘ N, 7.2∘ E) and Antwerp (51.2∘ N,
4.4∘ E) areas. The contribution of likely missing anthropogenic
sources of COS and CS2 in the inventory may be significant. The impact
of the identified sources in the province of Groningen is estimated to be
negligible in terms of the observed COS enhancements. However, in specific
conditions, these sources may influence the measurements in Lutjewad. These
results are valuable for improving our understanding of the sources and
sinks of COS, contributing to the use of COS as a tracer for GPP.

Abstract. Atmospheric measurements of the O2/N2 ratio and the CO2 mole fraction (combined into the conceptual tracer "Atmospheric Potential Oxygen", APO) over continents have been proposed as a constraint on CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel burning. Here we assess the suitability of such APO data to constrain anthropogenic CO2 emissions in Western Europe, with particular focus on their decadal trends. We use an inversion of atmospheric transport to estimate spatially and temporally explicit scaling factors on a bottom-up fossil-fuel emissions inventory. Based on the small number of currently available observational records, our CO2 emissions estimates show relatively large apparent year-to-year variations, exceeding the expected uncertainty of the bottom-up inventory and precluding the calculation of statistically significant trends. We were not able to trace the apparent year-to-year variations back to particular properties of the APO data. Inversion of synthetic APO data, however, confirms that data information content and degrees of freedom are sufficient to successfully correct a counterfactual prior. Larger sets of measurement stations, such as the recently started APO observations from the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) European research infrastructure, improve the constraint and may ameliorate possible problems with local signals or with measurement or model errors at the stations. We further tested the impact of uncertainties in the O2:CO2 stoichiometries of fossil-fuel burning and land biospheric exchange and found they are not fundamental obstacles to estimating decadal trends in fossil-fuel CO2 emissions, though further work on fossil-fuel O2:CO2 stoichiometries seems necessary.
A long record of European windstorm losses and its comparison to standard climate indices
Authors: Cusack Stephen
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Traditional insurance has both a great exposure to decadal variations in
European storm activity and the ability to adjust its business strategy
over these timescales. Hence, the recent development of skilful predictions
of multiannual mean European winter climate seems a very welcome addition to
the long list of ways that researchers have improved management of windstorm
risk. Yet companies do not use these forecasts of mean winter climate to
adjust their view of risk. The main reason is the lack of a long, reliable
record of losses to understand how forecasted time-mean circulation
anomalies relate to the damage from a few, intense storms. This study fills
that gap with a European windstorm loss record from 1950 to 2022, based on
ERA5 peak near-surface winds per event which were converted to losses using
an established damage function. The resulting dataset successfully
identifies major storms over the past 70 years and simulates the
multidecadal variations from low values in the 1960s up to high levels in
the 1980s and 1990s then down to the 2010s. However, it underestimated the
steepness of the observed loss decline from the stormy end of the 20th
century to the lull over the past 20 years. This was caused by a quite flat
trend in ERA5 extreme winds over the period, in contrast to the significant
decline in observed peak gusts. Imposing these gust trends on ERA5 peak
winds reconciled modelled losses with industry experience over the past few
decades. Indices of European winter climate used in long-range forecasting were
compared to the new modelled loss dataset. They had correlations of around
0.4 at interannual timescales, rising to about 0.7 for decadal and longer
variations. Notably, the climate indices have a similar multidecadal trend
as ERA5 extreme winds in modern times, including a less steep decline than
found in observed gusts and losses. Further investigation of the modern-day
divergence between climate indices and losses may help connect decadal
forecasting to insurance.

Abstract. Leads and fractures in sea ice play a crucial role in the heat and gas exchange between the ocean and atmosphere, impacting atmospheric, ecological, and oceanic processes. Our aim was to estimate lead fractions from high-resolution divergence obtained from satellite synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) data and to evaluate it against existing lead products. We derived two new lead-fraction products from divergence with a spatial resolution of 700 m calculated from daily Sentinel-1 images. For the first lead product, we advected and accumulated the lead fractions of individual time steps. With those accumulated divergence-derived lead fractions, we described comprehensively the presence of up to 10-day-old leads and analyzed their deformation history. For the second lead product, we used only divergence pixels that were identified as part of linear kinematic features (LKFs). Both new lead products accurately captured the formation of new leads with widths of a few hundred meters. We presented a Lagrangian time series of the divergence-based lead fractions along the drift of the MOSAiC expedition in the central Arctic Ocean during winter 2019/2020. Lead activity was high in fall and spring, consistent with wind forcing and ice pack consolidation. At larger scales of 50–150 km around the MOSAiC expedition, lead activity on all scales was similar, but differences emerged at smaller scales (10 km). We compared our lead products with 6 others from satellite and airborne sources, including classified SAR, thermal infrared, microwave radiometer, and altimeter data. We found that the mean lead fractions varied by 1 magnitude across different lead products due to different physical lead and sea ice properties observed by the sensors and methodological factors such as spatial resolution. Thus, the choice of lead product should align with the specific application.
Persistent warming of the ground on the Earth’s Third Pole
Authors: Wang Yuyang , Ding Jinzhi , Piao Shilong
Published: August 2023

Abstract. A continuously increasing ground temperature in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) can result in permafrost degradation and impact regional climate through land-atmosphere interactions. However, systematic knowledge of spatiotemporal dynamics and regulatory mechanisms of ground temperature changes in the region is limited. Here, we quantify the thermal status and trends of both soil temperatures measured at depth and typical permafrost profile temperatures. We show that, shallow soil layers (0–40 cm) in most TP regions experienced significant warming from 1981 to 2021, with lower rates at greater depths. Ground surface warming trends aligned with air temperature, but the timing of the maximum warming trend was progressively delayed with depth. Cold seasons exhibited the largest warming trends for air and ground surface, while warm seasons saw greater warming trends at 5–40 cm soil depths. Regionally, warming trends were larger at sites with lower mean annual temperature and higher elevation. Out of the factors tested in addition to air temperature, only snow-cover days and downward longwave radiation were significantly related to the soil warming rate trends. Further analysis reveals that the persistent shallow ground temperature increase over decades is linked to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation's warm phase, impacting near-surface air temperature through teleconnections. Additionally, we present spatially heterogeneous observations of continuous warming in permafrost profiles, which show intense warming in the surface layers, and minimal warming at 40 m depth. Permafrost profile warming magnitude and depth-dependent variation are influenced by local climate and elevation. This study provides a comprehensive view of persistent warming in the Tibetan Plateau across surface and deep layers.

Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma pesquisa sobre o mercado de certificação de sustentabilidade para a aquicultura, visando avaliar a aceitação dos consumidores finais da cadeia de produção de pescados e fornecer subsídios para o desenvolvimento de sistemas de produção que não impactem negativamente o meio ambiente e a sociedade, bem como, que tragam benefícios econômicos para os pequenos produtores. Para alcançar o objetivo realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica seguida de um estudo quali-quantitativo. A coleta de dados para a pesquisa de mercado foi realizada de forma on-line com Google Forms, por meio de um questionário semiestruturado que abordou questões relativas ao objetivo proposto. Foram entrevistadas 124 pessoas e os resultados mostraram que 23% delas não refletem sobre a questão da poluição gerada na produção de alimentos, demonstrando a necessidade de sensibilização da sociedade. Além disso, 52% dos entrevistados, não se informam sobre a origem do que consomem, porém, quando perguntado sobre a disponibilidade de produtos certificados à venda, 93% disseram que gostariam que houvesse disponibilidade de produtos certificados nos supermercados e 60% pagariam mais caro, mostrando que há um mercado específico. A pesquisa mostrou que há falta de conhecimento dos consumidores em relação às questões sobre aquicultura e certificação, e que há um consumo pequeno de organismos aquáticos, mas em contrapartida há também o grande interesse dos entrevistados em consumir produtos com certificação de qualidade e de sustentabilidade.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Health Outcomes in Nigeria
Authors: Georgina Anugwom Chinenye
Published: August 2023

This study examined the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on health outcomes in Nigeria covering the period 1990-2021. Data for the study were extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and the World Development Index (WDI) 2021. The data are health outcome (life expectancy, greenhouse gas emissions, population and inflation rate). The method of data analysis used is the linear regression with the application of the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and the Granger causality statistics. The major findings of the study reveal that Greenhouse gas emissions negatively impact health outcomes in Nigeria and there is a uni-directional granger causality between greenhouse gas emissions and health outcomes in Nigeria. It is therefore the recommendation of the study that more resources should be channeled for research aimed at developing alternatives to greenhouse gas emissions and there is need to carry out a massive reform in our health sector. This reform should include setting up a special committee that ensures any allocated fund to the health-sector is adequately utilized.

Effect of Educational-Intervention Programme on Predisposing Factors Involved in Adherence to Ergonomic Principles among Janitorial Staff of Tertiary Educational Institutions in Ogun State, Nigeria
Authors: S.C. Nwosu , N.O.S. Atulomah
Published: August 2023

Adherence to workplace ergonomic principles protects against musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a leading cause of debility and early retirement of workers. They are a major contributor to the global burden of disease. The effects of MSDs are observed at the individual, organizational and societal levels and have implications on personal-level dispositions of workers involved. Due to the gradual and imperceptibility of onset of MSDs, early detection or diagnosis is impossible; therefore, ergonomic-based health educational programs offer the best mitigation (Khan, Rehman, & Ali, 2012). Janitorial occupation is fraught with recognized MSDs risk factors. This study evaluated the effect of an innovative theory-grounded health educational intervention program on the predisposing factors involved in adherence to ergonomic principles by the janitorial staff of selected universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study was a quasi-experimental intervention design that utilized a 42-item validated six-sections questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient ranging from 0.782 to 0.934 using a multistage sampling technique to derive participants. The study was for twelve weeks in which baseline and 12th week follow-up data was collected regarding information on predisposing factors of knowledge, attitudinal dispositions and perceptions involved in adherence to ergonomic principles from sixty janitorial workers who consented to participate in the study. Participants were categorized into a control group (CG) and an intervention group (IG). The mean age of participants in CG was 43.2 ± 9.35 while for IG was 39.83 ± 11.11. Data was analyzed using descriptive (mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage) and inferential (paired t-test, effect size) statistics at 5% confidence level. The results show that educational intervention programs improved the predisposing factors of knowledge, perceptions and attitudinal dispositions.

Perspectivas y desafíos en los interrelacionamientos naturaleza-sociedad a través de las experiencias religiosas y espirituales
Authors: Saldívar Arellano Juan Manuel , Castro Ramírez Luis Carlos
Published: August 2023

Las relaciones naturaleza-espiritualidad han sido tratadas desde diferentes contextos socioculturales e históricos a lo largo del globo. El objetivo de este artículo es comprender el lugar que tienen las experiencias religiosas y espirituales en el interrelacionamiento del ser humano con la naturaleza en el mundo contemporáneo. Para dar cuenta de tal interés se realiza una aproximación hermenéutica y sincrónica alrededor de los principales debates que toman lugar en este poroso escenario que indefectiblemente está atravesado por la inter y la transdisciplinariedad. El acercamiento presentado convoca argumentaciones teóricas-metodológicas y, además, estudios cuyas reflexiones y conceptualizaciones parten de casos concretos —incluidos los artículos que componen este dosier— que sitúan la relevancia y pertinencia actual de estas indagaciones en distintas geografías. Por esa vía, las discusiones y entronques conceptuales, experienciales y de formación de mundos posibles que se plantean aquí no están libres de tensiones. Esto por cuanto que las concepciones desde estos campos de estudio no siempre proveen de un decir-hacer ni son coincidentes en torno a las interrelaciones naturaleza, humanos y no-humanos. Tales fenómenos socioculturales devienen en problemáticas y retos para unas políticas públicas preocupadas por el medioambiente, las cuales en muchas ocasiones no están claramente establecidas y reclaman ser consideradas desde un pensamiento fronterizo.
Kamanis: guardianes espirituales, criadores y protectores de la producción agrícola en el territorio aimara de Peñas, Bolivia
Authors: Iño Daza Weimar Giovanni
Published: August 2023

Este estudio se sitúa en Peñas, territorio aimara ubicado en el departamento de La Paz, Bolivia. Su objetivo es describir y explicar el cargo que desempeñan allí los kamanis, en su componente político-ritual. Se destaca que cumplen funciones administrativas, como el cuidado del cultivo y el empleo de saberes climáticos y agrícolas, así como religiosas espirituales, pues establecen una relación con la naturaleza y las deidades para el cuidado y la crianza de los cultivos. Para el estudio, de tipo cualitativo, se recurrió a la investigación participativa revalorizadora; se llevó a cabo una revisión y un análisis bibliográfico sobre la cosmovisión andina y las autoridades originarias en los aimaras; y se realizaron entrevistas individuales, visitas y estancias de residencia de trabajo de campo para el registro de prácticas rituales de producción y saberes agroclimáticos. Uno de los aportes del artículo es la visibilización de los espacios donde se interactúa y de los relacionamientos ecosistémicos entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza, así como la comprensión de las expresiones y creencias religiosas y espirituales involucradas en la relacionalidad del kamani con la naturaleza, en el que despliega el saber hacer, criar, cuidar y convivir desde el respeto, pedir permiso, la comprensión y el cariño.
