Do Professional Commitment and Anticipatory Socialization Affect The Intention To Do Whistleblowing?
Authors: Kasingku Frisky Jeremy , Tompunu Claudia , Prayanthi Ika
Published: March 2021

The corruption in Indonesia is one of the biggest problems the government and the business must face. Employee in the entity may provide one of the solutions for this problem. They may do the whistleblowing when they know that there is violation in the entity. Professional commitment and anticipatory socialization are the factors to foster whistleblowing. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the impact of professional commitment and anticipatory socialization toward whistleblowing intention. 155 eligible accounting students are taken as subjects for this study. The questionnaire is disseminated electronically to the sample. As a result, professional commitment affects whistleblowing intentions of accounting students. Furthermore, male who profess professional commitment will likely do the action of whistleblowing compare to female. On the other hand, there is no statistical evidence found to prove that anticipatory socialization affects the intention to do whistleblowing. Consequently, the system of the company must facilitate the improvement of professional commitment so it may foster the intention of the employees to whistleblow. Therefore, manager should pay attention to degree of the professional commitment of the employees.
Risk assessment of possible impacts of climate change and irrigation on wheat yield and quality with a modified CERES-Wheat model
Authors: Liu Jianchao , Yao Wenbin , Jiang Meijun
Published: March 2021

The effects of climate change on yield and quality in different climate regions have high uncertainty. Risk assessment is an effective measure to assess the seriousness of the projected impacts for decision-makers. A modified quality model was used to simulate integrated impacts of climate change, environment, and management on wheat yield and quality. Then, the Canadian Earth System Model version 5 (CanESM5) was used to forecast the daily meteorological data, and the Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM V5.2) was used for downscaling. The modified CERES-Wheat was combined with the forecasted meteorological data to simulate the future wheat yield and grain protein concentration (GPC). The risk to wheat yield and quality in three climatic regions in Northwest China under two climate change scenarios of the CanESM5 was assessed. The average temperature increased by 0.22–3.34 °C, and precipitation increased by 10–60 mm from 2018 to 2100. Elevated temperature and precipitation had positive effects on the yields. The risk to yield in most regions with climate change decreased by 3.8–25.1%. The risk to GPC in all regions with climate change decreased by 7.3–27.2%. Irrigation decreased the risk to yield greatly but had different effects in the three climatic regions. The risk to yield with irrigation decreased by 37.7–52.1%. In contrast to previous studies, in this study, the risk to GPC with irrigation substantially increased by 25.8–28.9% in humid regions and 3.9–8.8% in subhumid regions and decreased by 37.7–52.1% in semiarid regions. The irrigation should be discreetly applied for different climatic regions to combat climate change.
Modeling and predicting suspended sediment load under climate change conditions: a new hybridization strategy
Authors: Farzin Saeed , Valikhan Anaraki Mahdi
Published: March 2021

In the present study, for the first time, a new strategy based on a combination of the hybrid least-squares support-vector machine (LS-SVM) and flower pollination algorithm (FPA), average 24 general circulation model (GCM) output, and delta change factor method has been developed to achieve the impacts of climate change on runoff and suspended sediment load (SSL) in the Lighvan Basin in the period (2020–2099). Also, the results of modeling were compared to those of LS-SVM and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methods. The comparison of runoff and SSL modeling results showed that the LS-SVM-FPA algorithm had the best results and the ANFIS algorithm had the worst results. After the acceptable performance of the LS-SVM-FPA algorithm was proved, the algorithm was used to predict runoff and SSL under climate change conditions based on ensemble GCM outputs for periods (2020–2034, 2035–2049, 2070–2084, and 2085–2099) under three scenarios of RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5. The results showed a decrease in the runoff in all periods and scenarios, except for the two near periods under the RCP2.6 scenario for runoff. The predicted runoff and SSL time series also showed that the SSL values were lower than the average observation period, except for 2036–2039 (up to an 8% increase in 2038).

Published: March 2021

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of April 17, 2020, the total number of cases all over the world read as 2,182,823 positive cases with 145,551 deaths and 547,679 recovered cases. In India, the total number of affected cases has alarmingly increased up to 13,430, crossing the 10 thousand mark with 11,214 active cases and 1768 recovered cases. There have been multiple studies and reviews published regarding the nature of the disease, its clinical symptoms and their progression, as well as findings on chest radiography, computed tomography, and positron emission computed tomography.

A systematic literature search of the PubMed database was performed on April 8, 2020, using the suitable keywords and publications on novel coronavirus infection were also searched for in the WHO database. Only those articles published in the year 2020 were included. Data were collected, extracted, and tabulated for systematic reviewing from 26 original articles and 4 case series. The typical radiological findings on computed tomography for COVD 19 were ground-glass opacity with and without consolidation, isolated consolidation, air bronchogram, crazy paving, and interlobular septal thickening with subpleural lines.

With the progression of the disease, other atypical radiological findings are noted, such as pulmonary atelectasis, peribronchial thickening, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, reverse halo or atoll sign, and tree in bud appearance with bronchiectasis. Computed tomography proved as a useful tool for screening COVID 19 cases to delineate the status and severity of lung pathology.

Published: March 2021

Two devastating pandemics, the Spanish Flu and COVID-19, emerged globally in 1918 from America and 2019 from China, respectively. Influenza virus A H1N1, which caused Spanish Flu and SARS-CoV2, which caused COVID-19, belong to different virus family and bear different structure, genomic organization and pathogenicity. However, the trajectory of the current outbreak of COVID-19 depicts a similar picture of the Spanish Flu outbreak. Estimates suggest that ~500 million infected cases and ~50 million deaths occurred globally from 1918-1919 due to the H1N1 virus. While SARS-CoV2 accounted for ~2 million cases and 130,885 deaths just within three and a half months, and the number is still increasing. To contain the spread of COVID-19 and to prevent the situation which happened a century back, it becomes essential to examine and correlate these pandemics in terms of their origin, epidemiology and clinical scenario. The strategies tailored to control the Spanish Flu pandemic may help to contain the current pandemic within time.
Biodegradable Plastics from Cyanobacteria
Authors: Sartor R.B.
Published: March 2021

High accumulation of generated plastic waste is a growing concern. Alternatively, scientific efforts are underway to drive industrial demand to replace these products with superior quality, adequate biodegradable resources. Cyanobacteria are a versatile group of phototrophic prokaryotes capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) using sunlight and carbon dioxide (CO2) as a form of carbon and energy reserve. PHAs are appealing alternatives for traditional chemical plastics because these have to resemble characteristics, biocompatibility, and complete biodegradability. In this sense, this chapter aims to address the potential of cyanobacteria as a biodegradable alternative solution.
Photocatalytic Degradation of Plastic
Authors: Malhotra M.
Published: March 2021

Due to rapid growth and modernization, the consumption of plastic has increased rapidly. However, due to the non-biodegradable nature of plastics, its management and disposal have become an environmental concern. The majority of plastics end up in landfill sites or oceans through rivers which is a threat to the marine ecosystem. Plastic can remain in the environment for thousands of years furthermore due to physical degradation plastics are converted into microplastics. Current techniques of recycling plastic require a significant amount of segregation which is not feasible due to economic constraints. Photocatalyst enhances the rate of degradation using light as a source of energy hence making the process economically feasible. This chapter provides a comprehensive review focusing on plastics, its pollution and type of polymers. Further, the chapter also reviews the various research conducted for the photocatalytic degradation of plastics.

It presents a systematic literature review with the intention of highlighting the stage of studies in Portuguese about open peer review. This is a literature search with a qualitative and quantitative approach in order to present an overview of the studies published on the subject. Most of the articles surveyed were published or presented in the 2017-2018 biennium in journals or events in the area of Information Science. The articles state that the open peer review enables greater transparency in the scientific publication process, in addition to other advantages. However, some presente, in addition to disadvantages, contradictions in the editors and reviewers positions about open review. There was a need for new studies that present evidence on the practice of peer review to assist in a better understanding of the open peer review system and point out new perspectives.

Authors: Sousa Rosilene Paiva Marinho de , Sousa Marckson Roberto Ferreira de , Dias Guilherme Ataíde
Published: March 2021

Information and communication technologies have revolutionized traditional forms of production of intellectual property with a view to the diversity of creations of the human intellect. However, the institutes of copyright protection do not always allow the resolution of certain peculiarities of the protected assets, and the control is the responsibility of judicial decisions. In this sense, this work aims to discuss the authorial limits in judicial decisions, between open access and copyright protection. For this, it seeks to present the main characteristics of authorial regulation in Brazil today. It examines the new perspectives of open access, in view of the use of technologies, outline with the conditions established for registration, access and sharing. Finally, it conducts an approach on the diversity of understandings in judicial decisions, in processes that involve attribution of authorship and conditions for the publication of intellectual property. It is concluded that there is a need for studies on judicial decisions that can identify the main gaps that make it impossible to align the interpretation of copyright law in judicial decisions, in order to make them more effective.

Published: March 2021

This study aims to analyze the self-archiving policies registered by the Brazilian institutional repositories, with emphasis on the guidelines established for subject representation. Therefore, exploratory-descriptive research was carried out in order to obtain the current scenario on the situation of self-archiving in Brazilian institutional repositories. It appears that most of the 108 Brazilian institutional repositories listed in the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT) do not have a self-archiving policy that includes the subject representation. The seven identified policies reveal that only one has explicit indications about the quality of metadata, while the others point out the concern to follow the national and international metadata standards, or with some kind of validation before the deposit, but without mentioning the subject metadata.

Published: March 2021

The Portuguese Distance Learning University (UAb) assess in a holistic way the Institution's Sustainability performance. In the case of research, it is evaluated by analyzing the scientific publications deposited in the Open Repository. Since 2019, it is possible to associate to each deposit the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that match the publications. The objective of this work is, from the analysis of the publications of the Open Repository, to identify the SDG on which the academic and scientific production and the research carried out at UAb focus. An analysis of the representativeness of these objectives is made globally and segmented by community (Theses and Dissertations, Educational Resources and Scientific Publications). The approach adopted for the systematic identification of the SDG is also analyzed through the assessment of the degree of commitment that the authors show in the self-assigning of the SDG to their own productions. Finally, UAb’s contribution for the fulfillment and development of the SDG at national level is analyzed by assessing the relevance of the research and intellectual property work made available in the Open Repository.

Noticias sobre el patrimonio tipográfico colombiano: descripción y análisis de dos muestras de letras salesianas del siglo XX
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, Garone Gravier Marina
Published: March 2021

El estudio de los especímenes tipográficos, también conocidos como muestras de letras o catálogos de tipos, permite una clase de investigación de fuentes primarias que combina las facetas histórica, tecnológica, artística y visual y, por extensión, arroja luz sobre otros aspectos de la cultura impresa. Si bien esas fuentes ofrecen una aproximación material al conocimiento del patrimonio gráfico regional, en América Latina se ha investigado poco sobre ellas. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es describir y analizar la estructura y el contenido de dos muestras tipográficas colombianas que fueron elaboradas durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, en el contexto de la enseñanza de artes y oficios en los colegios de los salesianos. El estudio de ambos documentos y su comparación con otras muestras (norteamericanas, europeas, y de dos países de América Latina), así como la revisión de bibliografía especializada, permitirá establecer el origen de algunas de las fundiciones tipográficas utilizadas en Colombia y visualizar una parte de las relaciones de la cultura gráfica colombiana con otras tradiciones tipográficas que a la fecha no se han planteado.
I/O: Reinforcing Newsmaking Practices Through Algorithmic Media
Authors: Frizzera Luciano
Published: March 2021

Recent developments in communication and information technology have disrupted the long-established dominance of mass media over the production and distribution of news. As an effort to reclaim their role of society’s information gatekeeper, media companies absorb digital technology as instruments of institutional power to reproduce its own logic in the digital space. This paper dis-cusses two interrelated modalities of algorithmic news: economically efficient production, where news outlets utilize quantitative metrics to improve content effectiveness and desirability; and shared-gatekeeping, where visibility and distribution of information are contextual and based on users’ behaviour. The paper proposes that algorithmic media hides under its supposed objectivity and neutrality to become a new gatekeeper “organism”, which not only regulates flows of infor-mation, but also interprets and negotiates both public interests and the value of the news.
A Critical Analysis of Canada's Sex Work Legislation
Authors: Kunimoto Erica Mika
Published: March 2021

In 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that three sections of the Criminal Code of Canada pertaining to sex work were unconstitutional. In response to this ruling—otherwise known as the Bedford Decision—the Conservative government introduced the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA) in 2014. In this paper, I ask: to what extent does the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act meet its stated goal of addressing the health and safety of those who “engage in prostitution”? In exploring this question, I first trace the legal terrain leading to the PCEPA’s conception. Following this, I show that the PCEPA has failed to address its stated goals in two central ways. First, by co-opting the progressive framing of the Bedford Decision in a way that obscures the situations of violence it seeks to address, and second, by making the most precarious category of sex work even more dangerous through its implementation. In order to render the actual foundations of the PCEPA visible, I draw upon critical race and feminist theory. Through this analysis, I show how gendered and racialized hierarchies regulate violence along and within the sex work spectrum. Overall, this paper argues that the PCEPA has failed to address the health and safety of “those engaged in prostitution,” and instead, has facilitated racialized patterns of gender violence against vulnerable populations.
“Celebrate your bloom story”
Authors: Paulsen Mulvey Alora
Published: March 2021

Using 27-year-old Canadian beauty blogger Estée Lalonde as a site of automedia analysis (Maguire 2015), this paper argues that through the enactment of domestic femininity in the public sphere, social media influencers embody postfeminist ideals of individual empowerment while selling their branded selves through networked intimacy (Abidin 2015; Gill, 2016). Methodologically, I approach the case study with an understanding of the intersection between online platforms of the intersection between online platforms, life writing, and constructions of the self. Using cross-promotion, scheduled posts, and self-branding, influencers create a cohesive branded self, emphasizing perceived authenticity and a sense of community among followers. The exercise of self-branding is used to gain cultural and material capital (Hearn, 2008). Understanding postfeminism as an analytical lens through which we can problematize media texts (Gill, 2016), I argue that influencer marketing privileges a one-dimensional, postfeminist representation of an empowered young woman following her life’s passion (Duffy & Hund, 2015).
Urban-Rural Mobility through the Lens of Food Documentary: A Case Study of “A Bite of China: Season Two”
Authors: Lu Yao , Yang Xiaoxiao
Published: March 2021

The combination of traditional Chinese food processing techniques and contemporary commercial food production forms the main topics of “A Bite of China: Season Two” (ABOC-2). Built upon the success of its first reason, ABOC-2 has achieved a record high TV rating among domestic audience and also made history by becoming the best-selling Chinese documentary overseas. By examining the individual experiences of migrant workers shown in ABOC-2, this paper discusses the important role of rural Chinese cuisine in maintaining the urban-rural mobility of contemporary China. We argue that one major storyline of ABOC-2, in which migrant workers maintain their inherent economic and social connections with their native countryside through cooking and consuming hometown dishes, sheds light upon migrant workers’ active resistance to the partially rational yet overly standardized ways of urban living. By showing respect to rural traditions and culture, ABOC-2 has successfully promoted the dignity of Chinese migrant workers and depicted their spiritual plight in contemporary China’s drive toward modernization.

"A Comparative Analysis of the Framing of Terrorism in Online News Under the George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama Administrations: from Clash to Dialogue?"
Authors: Devereaux Zachary Paul
Published: March 2021

Abstract: The significant and reciprocal link between Terrorism and News Media reportage was identified in the 1990s by the convergence of security and media studies (Picard, 1993). Working in the tradition of content analysis early studies examined the way Terrorism was framed in major news accounts with implications for the Huntington-Fukuyama hypothesis (Nacos, 2002). However these early studies mainly pre-dated both the War on Terror and the rise of the Internet as a major (political) news source. This paper reinvigorates this early framing research on Terrorism by examining key frames over time in online news media via software-assisted media mapping. Key frames identified in the 1990s are examined in the online news environment under the George W. Bush administration (2005) and the current Barak Hussein Obama administration (2009). The resulting news mapping allows for a comparative analysis of the way frames, such as "insurgent" have changed (if at all) over time in the most significant stories freely available online. The comparison contributes to understanding of the potential for a shift from the rhetoric of a "clash of civilizations" towards discourse networks of the "dignity of difference" by rendering visible shifts in frames associated with Terrorism that arguably are necessary for the advancement of the new paradigm.
Hidden Ties that Bind: The Psychological Bonds of Embedding Have Changed the Very Nature of War Reporting
Authors: Wasilow Sherry M.
Published: March 2021

While embedded reporting has been allowed entry into the ongoing chess game between the military and the media, it is not apparent that the psychological nuances of its origins and impact on storytelling have been fully explored. Yet its adoption as a viable option in war reporting has led to a de facto division of journalistic framing. Embedding reporters with troops has led to a micro focus on soldiers and the minutiae of conflict, while traditional or unilateral reporting continues to provide contextual perspective on the purpose and impact of the fighting within a bigger picture. This essay argues that this division needs to be bridged.

Corpus Linguistics in Critical Discourse Analysis: A Case Study on News Reports of the 2011 Libyan Civil War
Authors: Chen Sibo
Published: March 2021

This paper reports a comparative analysis of the news coverage of the 2011 Libyan civil war in two national media (China Daily and The New York Times). The 2011 Libyan civil war attracted wide attention and was extensively covered by various media around the world. However, news discourse regarding the war was constructed differently across various news agencies as a result of their clashing ideologies. Based on corpus linguistics methods, two small corpora with a total of 22,412 tokens were compiled and the comparative analyses of the two corpora revealed the following results. First, although the two corpora shared a lot of commonalities in word frequency, differences still exist in several high ranking lemmas. On the one hand, words such as â€œQaddafiâ€ and â€œwarâ€ ranked similarly in the two corporaâ€™s lexical frequency lists; on the other hand, the frequencies of the lemma â€œrebel/rebelsâ€ were much higher in The New York Times corpus than in the China Daily corpus, which indicated that the image of the rebel received more attention in the reports by The New York Times than in those by China Daily. Second, although the word â€œQaddafiâ€ achieved similar frequencies in the two corpora, a follow-up collocation analysis showed that the images of â€œQaddafiâ€ contrasted with each other in the two corpora. In The New York Times corpus, the words and phrases collocating with â€œQaddafiâ€ were mainly negative descriptions and highlighted the pressure on Qaddafi whereas many neutral and even positive descriptions of Qaddafi appeared in the China Daily corpus. Based on these findings, the paper further discusses how discursive devices are applied in news coverage of warfare, as well as some methodological implications of the case study (Reprinted by Permission of Canadian Association for the Studies of Discourse and Writing).
Introduction: The Legacy of Graham Spry and the Future of Public Media
Authors: Chen Sibo
Published: March 2021

Over the past twenty years, public media services worldwide have been facing increasing pressure from commercialization, marketization, and privatization. This situation is exemplified by the Cana-dian Broadcasting Corporationâ€™s (CBC) latest revenue shortfall and the subsequent austerity measures of the corporation. Indeed, CBC, as an iconic corporation of Canadianâ€™s media landscape, is key to the countryâ€™s future policy-making in the media realm. The CBCâ€™s current crisis, already exert-ing significant pressures towards the restructuring of the corporation, is seen by some critics as a warning of the corporationâ€™s potential imminent collapse (Rowland, 2013). However, just as there has be a constant pressure toward marketization over public media, over the past few years the struggles of public media also offer a precious opportunity to re-imagine an alternative future for public communication services.
The Technological Imagination of Public Media
Authors: Lesage Frederik
Published: March 2021

Although it has been nearly four decades since Raymond Williamsâ€™ book Television: technology and cultural form (Williams, 2003/1975) was first published, I find it helpful to return to this seminal work with a view of reflecting on the future of public media in Canada. Television is often remembered for Williamsâ€™ critique of technological determinism in Marshall McLuhanâ€™s theory of media. But the book should also be remembered for a number of other significant contributions, including the prescient chapter titled â€œAlternative technology, alternative uses?â€ in which Williams examined some of the innovations in broadcasting technologies being developed at the time. For Williams, these innovations represented at once a risk and an opportunity. The risk was that people in the United States and the United Kingdom who were in a position to shape the implementation of these innovations would remain complacent, allowing their deployment to be â€˜sorted out as we goâ€™ (Williams, 2003/1975, p. 140). The opportunity was that changes to broadcasting infrastructure could afford people the chance to address structural inequities and imagine alternative uses. Williams believed that the early stages in implementing new technological innovations represented an opportune moment for putting in place alternative organizational and policy arrangements for television broadcasting.

Being-in-the-Anthropocene: A Place-Based Understanding of Anthropogenic Climate Change
Authors: Reddy Kavita
Published: March 2021

Using Marcuse’s reconciliation of Marx’s historical material critique of capitalist relationships with a phenomenological approach, this paper aims to develop a better understanding of the conceptualization of reason in the era of anthropogenic climate change. Along with reference to Marx and Freud, Marcuse employs Heidegger’s phenomenology in his analysis of the dynamic interrelation between capital and the historical development of civilization, which I argue creates a comprehensive analysis of reason within the context of capitalist technological progress. The intersection of phenomenological analysis and the history of capital creates a moment, through the resurgence of the slumbering potentiality within place, for a radical shift in perspective.

Reverberations of the Arab Spring: Womenâ€™s Use of Information Technology in Morocco
Authors: Neumark Selena Irene
Published: March 2021

How are women utilizing the capabilities of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the service of social and political transformation in the wake of the Arab Spring Uprisings? The structure of information flows on new media platforms have enabled activist groups to gain leverage in political systems and social contexts that otherwise marginalized them and this was never more apparent in the use of ICTs during the Arab Spring. However, Morocco continues to be a largely forgotten hub of revolution as researchers grapple with the systemic shifts observed in countries like Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. Womenâ€™s rights movements in Morocco exploded in increased action, engagement and influence during the same period, largely by virtue of increased accessibility to and innovative capabilities of ICTs. Moroccoâ€™s movement for womenâ€™s rights and democratisation (gradualist movement) is a lesser-explored context of womenâ€™s heightened engagement since the Arab Spring and hence, the focus of this research. Womenâ€™s use of alternative civic spaces to organize and enact social and political change has resulted in global networks of activism that are changing the climate of the MENA as well as perceptions of it from elsewhere. The region, while often politically turbulent, is also characterized according to a single narrative in the West. The â€œresistance against communal normsâ€ and broadening use of digital media as an extension to existing womenâ€™s voices (Robinson, 2014, p. ii) has helped disseminate critical knowledge on the importance of gender equity to democratic ideals. It has also put an emphasis on womenâ€™s public praxis in Morocco over their religious affiliations or domestic labour.

Published: March 2021

The quality of life for the elderly is intimately related to the green open space. The use of this space will directly affect the health resilience of the elderly. The research methodology for this research comprised three stages. Stage one, to identify the health resilience from the previous studies. Content analysis was used in stage two to determine health resilience catalyst for the elderly. The final stage was to stream the influence element of health resilience for the elderly. The findings have implications for improving intervention plans designed to boost resilience and promote healthy ageing for the elderly.

Desarrollo de una aplicación web de telemedicina en beneficio de la comunidad de la Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo
Authors: Orosco Josué , Carrión Katherine , Salinas Néstor
Published: March 2021

Ante la crisis sanitaria provocada por la pandemia del COVID-19, las plataformas de telemedicina se han convertido en soluciones emergentes para la atención médica a distancia. Es cierto que se debe brindar atención presencial a los afectados por esta enfermedad; sin embargo, el resto de las enfermedades demandan una igual atención que en muchas ocasiones no es posible establecer una valoración in-situ. En este proyecto se diseña y desarrolla una web app de telemedicina con el uso de herramientas libres, que permita dar soporte al departamento médico de la Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo (UTEQ) para brindar servicio médico de una manera accesible y sin exponer a las personas ante posibles contagios. Para los requerimientos, pruebas y ajustes del sistema, se contó con la colaboración de expertos en el área de la salud, considerando características específicas como diseño novedoso y uso intuitivo, otorgando al usuario diversas opciones tales como: la reserva de citas, un asistente virtual y acceso a consultas en tiempo real a través de aplicaciones telemáticas. Por último, se realizó un estudio de aceptabilidad y usabilidad con el fin de obtener una retroalimentación en cuanto al impacto y mejoras a desarrollar.
Cultura Ambiental en estudiantes de educación superior, 2020
Authors: Díaz Ponce Mariela Alexi , Urdánigo Zambrano Juan Pablo , Gallardo Anahí Mercedes , Muñoz Casanova Ronald Hitler
Published: March 2021

La formación de profesionales sin cultura ambiental; atenta al desarrollo sostenible de las sociedades. El nivel y calidad de educación, es un factor preponderante en la toma de decisiones. La evaluación del nivel de cultura ambiental en los estudiantes universitarios se basó en la encuesta modificada de Wisconsin; a 2366 estudiantes de una institución de educación superior, herramienta que analiza las actitudes, comportamientos y conocimientos con enfoque ambiental. Se utilizó el programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences V22 para el análisis estadístico inferencial no paramétrico de U – Mann Whitney y Kusskal Wallis, que asigna un valor de 4 como favorable y 0 como menos favorable a cada pregunta. Los resultados obtenidos en cada aspecto evidencian para la actitud, una elevada (2,96) preocupación por los riesgos para la salud ambiental; sin apoyo a las regulaciones de contaminación en una comunidad, al considerar que interfieren con el crecimiento industrial y desarrollo (1,28). Apagar las luces y los electrodomésticos; cuando no se utilizan para ahorrar electricidad, es el comportamiento más aplicado por los estudiantes universitarios (2,96). Sin embargo, no poseen interés en el envío de cartas al periódico sobre problemas ambientales (1,14). El conocimiento más destacado en los universitarios, es la definición del hábitat (2,65); siendo notoria la inconsciencia del impacto antropogénico en la elevada tasa de extinción de especies (0,91). El Índice de Cultura Ambiental en los estudiantes promedió 5,1; definida como inaceptable. El análisis de clúster avala la escasa cultura ambiental, por la fuerte correlación entre el desinterés de comunicar los problemas ambientales a los periódicos y denunciar las violaciones ambientales a las autoridades. El incremento de la cultura ambiental, precisa del aprendizaje ambiental transversal en todas las profesiones; que incluyan acciones prácticas aplicadas a la realidad, para modelar las actitudes hacia el alcance de los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible.
