Intercultural Competence Based on Collective Learning in Association with Intangible Cultural Heritage: Experiences in a Study Abroad Program and a Digital Environment
Authors: Millán-Scheiding Catalina
Published: November 2022

This article describes the impact of a didactic proposal implemented in a visual arts course which intends to promote intercultural competences and work on identity awareness through collective learning activities, using the framework of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). Firstly, the term “collective learning” is defined in the context of humanities teaching as a multimodal and multi-source process of learning that contemplates the feedback between the individual the collective. Secondly, the framework of ICH is presented. Lastly, a quantitative comparative analysis of data from two different versions of the same course is performed: Group 1 in an in-person study abroad context and Group 2 in a remote environment. The examination of the results offers insight on a generalized effective acquisition of intercultural competences following the framework while highlighting the translation of study abroad elements of collective learning into the digital environment as a means to promote horizontal learning and self-assessment.
Abstract in Spanish
Este artículo describe los resultados de una propuesta didáctica implementada en un curso de artes visuales que pretende promocionar la competencia intercultural y trabajar la conciencia identitaria a través de actividades de aprendizaje colectivo y usando el marco teórico del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad de la UNESCO (ICH por sus siglas en inglés). Primero se describe el término “aprendizaje colectivo” en el contexto de la educación de humanidades como un proceso de aprendizaje multimodal que integra múltiples inputs y que contempla la retroalimentación entre lo individual y lo colectivo. Posteriormente, se presenta el marco teórico del ICH. Por último, se realiza un análisis comparativo de datos de dos versiones diferentes del mismo curso: el Grupo 1 siendo presencial en un contexto de estudio en el extranjero y el Grupo 2 siendo de aprendizaje a distancia. El estudio de los resultados indica una adquisición generalizada de competencias interculturales dentro del marco teórico, a la vez que enfatiza como la traslación de elementos de aprendizaje colectivo en estudios en el extranjero al ámbito digital puede funcionar como un elemento que promueva el aprendizaje horizontal y la autoevaluación.
Study Abroad Develops Cultural Intelligence for International Business Effectiveness, Special Relevance for PELL Students
Authors: Rivera-Mata Juan
Published: November 2022

The global economy and COVID created an interdependency where managers work in multiple countries, requiring cultural awareness. Cultural Intelligent (CQ) is a recent concept described as predictor of cultural adaptation. We studied 188 international business university students in terms of gender, language, major, financial need, and study abroad. We found no statistically significant gender differences in CQ, but we found differences in having a second language, level of studies, and study abroad experience. We also found PELL students develop more CQ than the rest of the students while studying abroad. This study helps to understand the key elements to develop CQ among international students to be effective in the present global business world and to promote the participation of PELL students in study abroad experiences.
Abstract in SpanishLa economía global y COVID crearon una interdependencia en la que los gerentes trabajan en varios países, lo que requiere conciencia cultural. La Inteligencia Cultural (CQ) es un concepto reciente descrito como predictor de adaptación cultural. Estudiamos a 188 estudiantes universitarios de negocios internacionales en términos de género, idioma, especialización, necesidades financieras y estudios en el extranjero. No encontramos diferencias de género estadísticamente significativas en CQ, pero encontramos diferencias en tener un segundo idioma, nivel de estudios y experiencia de estudios en el extranjero. También encontramos que los estudiantes PELL desarrollan más CQ que el resto de los estudiantes mientras estudian en el extranjero. Este estudio ayuda a comprender los elementos clave para desarrollar CQ entre los estudiantes internacionales para ser efectivos en el mundo empresarial global actual y promover la participación de los estudiantes PELL en experiencias de estudio en el extranjero.

Authors: Benavides Abraham David , Keyes Laura , Linares-Hernández Ivonne , Martinez-Miranda Veronica , Romanazzi Pablo
Published: November 2022

This paper examines service-learning case studies in Argentina, Mexico, and the United States. It analyzes whether Andragogy, the study of how to teach adult learners, is equally applicable and effective in different country contexts. First, we argue that service-learning is the most natural and appropriate teaching technique that aligns with the Theory of Andragogy. We then discuss how a clear understanding of Andragogy is the key to helping mature students process knowledge. Two cases of service-learning in an international context provide a research platform for examining differences in learning concepts, constructs, and student competences. We juxtapose Argentina and Mexico governance against U.S. governance, and we differentiate the public policy challenges within the two contexts. Our methodological approach employs grounded theory to identify themes of knowledge transfer through problematic environments. By comparing service-learning strategies in Argentina and Mexico vis-à-vis in the U.S., we find variations in assumptions of public administration practice, teaching methods, and student learning outcomes.
Abstract in Spanish
Este documento examina casos de estudio del aprendizaje y servicio en Argentina, México y los Estados Unidos. Analiza si la Andragogía, el estudio de cómo enseñar a los estudiantes adultos, es igualmente aceptable y efectivo en contextos de diferentes países. Primero, se planteó que la técnica de la enseñanza del aprendizaje y servicio es lo más natural y apropiado que se alinea con la Teoría de Andragogía. Después se fundamentó que un entendimiento claro de la Andragogía es la clave para ayudar a estudiantes adultos a procesar el conocimiento. Dos casos de estudio del aprendizaje y servicio en un contexto internacional proveen una plataforma para investigar diferencias en el aprendizaje con respecto a conceptos, construcciones, y competencias de los estudiantes. Se yuxtapone la gobernabilidad de Argentina y México con respecto a la gobernabilidad de los Estados Unidos y se diferencian los desafíos de las políticas públicas dentro de estos dos contextos. La metodología emplea la teoría fundamentada para identificar temas de la transferencia de conocimiento en ambientes problemáticos. Al comparar estrategias del aprendizaje y servicio en Argentina y México con respecto a los Estados Unidos, se encontró variación en los supuestos de la práctica de la administración pública, métodos de enseñanza, y resultados del aprendizaje del estudiante.
Black Internationalization for a Post-COVID Era
Authors: Hope Tonija
Published: November 2022

As many of you have been doing over the last two years, I have been giving a lot of thought to the state of international education as we rebuild and reimagine it. My focus is on rebuilding and reimagining international education for the world we want to live in. I believe that historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) offer important lessons on internationalization that have often been overlooked. There is a rich history of international engagement at HBCUs that has been ignored or excluded. Black Internationalism, a term into which I delve deeper in this essay, has been around for a long time; I use this term to guide this essay and to begin to rescue some of that history. The result is an alternative approach to internationalization.

Published: November 2022

Sunulan çalışmada üreme mevsiminde bulunan Romanov koyunlarında senkronizasyon protokolüne başlandığı gün D vitamini enjeksiyonunun kuzulama performansı ve bazı fertilite parametreleri üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışma 2-4 yaşlı 40 adet Romanov ırkı koyunda yürütüldü. Senkronizasyon protokolüne başlandığı gün ilk gruptaki koyunlara (n=23) D vitamini enjeksiyonu (1 ml, Provet-D3®, Provet, Türkiye) yapılırken, İkinci gruptaki koyunlara (n=17, kontrol grubu) 1 mL serum fizyolojik kas içi olarak enjekte edildi. Kızgınlıkları senkronize etmek amacıyla tüm koyunlara 14 gün süre ile vagina içi sünger (20 mg flugestone asetat, Chronogest®, Fransa) uygulandı ve çıkarıldıktan hemen sonra 300 IU gebe kısrak serum gonadotropini (eCG; Chrono-Gest/PMSG®, Almanya) kas içi olarak uygulandı. Her iki grupta östrus (%100), gebelik (%100) ve kuzulama oranı (%100) benzerdi. Çoğul kuzulama oranının D vitamini uygulanan grupta (%91.3) daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Fekundite ve verimlilik oranı da D vitamini uygulanan grupta daha yüksekti. Sonuç olarak D vitamini uygulamasının senkronizasyon protokolünden elde edilecek yavru veriminin artmasına katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir. D vitamini enjeksiyonlarının fertilite parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerini daha net ortaya koyabilmek için daha kapsamlı çalışmaların yapılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical component used in plastic products around the world. This study aims to examine the effects of these chemical compounds to which humans are frequently exposed in everyday life, on the heterogeneity and distribution of mast cells in the gastrointestinal system. For the study, 24 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups (control, sham, 25 mg/kg, and 50 mg/kg BPA treated). BPA was dissolved in corn oil and administration was done by oral gavage for thirty days. Gastrointestinal tissue samples taken from animals anesthetized with inhalation anesthesia were fixed using BLA (Basic Lead Acetate) and Carnoy fixation. Then, following routine tissue follow-up, they were blocked with Paraplast. Sections (6 µm) taken from the blocks were stained using Toluidine blue (TB) and Alcian blue-safranine O 8GX (AB-SO) combined dyes. Counting and statistical analysis of the mast cells in the TB-stained sections were performed. According to the results of the analysis, a higher number of mast cells was observed in the BLA fixation solution, while the increase in the number of mast cells was statistically significant in the groups treated with BPA (p

DETERMINANTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES
Authors: SLIUSAREVA Liudmyla
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to develop a theoretical basis for the analysis of the phenomenon of sustainable development at the micro-level with an emphasis on the factors that determine the direction of the process (determinants). Based on the existence of conceptual contradictions in the interpretation of the category ‘sustainable development of the enterprise’ decomposition of existing approaches in the scientific literature is proposed with the selection of two groups according to the criterion of essential content - socio-economic, spatio-temporal (innovative) approaches. The first is based on the socio - ecological - economic triad in the system of sustainable development. In the second case, the main focus is on the role of innovation in enterprises. We have proved that the determinant of sustainable development of an agricultural enterprise is not innovation itself, but responsible innovations related to development not only at the present stage, but also taking into account the interests of future generations. It is proposed to consider the category of ‘sustainable development of the enterprise’ as a system and complex process of strategic transformation of the business entity, which includes a system of socio-environmental values and is based on the introduction of responsible innovations under the competitive environment and external factors. The contradiction between different levels of achieving sustainable development is revealed: micro-, branch, regional, macro-levels. On the one hand, the sustainable development of the enterprise forms a competitive advantage that distinguishes the manufacturer from others. On the other hand, constant demand must form an adequate consumer market, and this leads to the need to change the conditions of existence and the emergence of new players in the market. Management goals are complemented by a component of influence on all potential stakeholders in order to create a sustainable environment for their activities. Achieving sustainable development in a systematic manner is the result of actions, reactions and a coordinated balance of environmental, cultural, social and economic factors.
Key words: agricultural enterprise, sustainable development, determinants of sustainable development, sustainable development of enterprise, sustainable business development, economic subsystem, social subsystem, ecological subsystem.
REPORTING OF AGRARIAN ENTERPRISES: FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC PRACTICE
Authors: ZHYVKO Zinaida , HNATYSHYN Liudmyla , PROKOPYSHYN Oksana , TSITSKA Nadiya
Published: November 2022

At the present stage the problems of transformation of the domestic agricultural sector are relevant due to the need to change the structure of agricultural production, restructuring of agricultural enterprises and the creation of new economic structures based on the basis of public-private partnership. This, in turn, requires changes in the accounting and reporting of agricultural enterprises, taking into account international standards in the context of intensifying the integration of Ukraine's economy into the world accounting system.
The purpose of this research is to study and summarize foreign experience in accounting and reporting of farms in order to provide suggestions on the possibility of its application in Ukrainian practice.
To achieve this goal such research methods as analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, classification, structural and logical have been used.
The article analyzes the current legislative and regulatory framework governing the accounting and reporting of enterprises in the field of agriculture. The peculiarities of the organization of accounting of agricultural enterprises are determined taking into account the changes in tax legislation in 2020. It is established that the reporting of farms depends on the form and system of taxation (general and simplified). The specifics of financial reporting of farms as legal entities and natural persons-entrepreneurs are revealed. A farm as a legal entity compiles the same financial statements as a regular agricultural enterprise. Farm as a natural person-entrepreneur report as usual natural person-entrepreneur. Farms-legal entities prepare financial statements, which include the balance sheet and statement of financial performance. Farms as a natural person-entrepreneur do not prepare financial statements, because the individual does not have a balance sheet (statement of financial position), as his personal property is not separated from the property of the farm. The form of establishment of the farm and the taxation system determine the set of reports that should be submitted to government agencies.
Key words: agribusiness entities, farming, accounting, financial reporting, taxation system, legal regulation, foreign practice.

DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND PRELIMINARY TESTING OF AN AUTOMATED SOLAR DRYER FOR CASSAVA CHIPS
Authors: A.F Alonge , A.M Olaniyan , K. Oje , K.J Ajayi
Published: November 2022

An automated solar dryer was designed, constructed and tested under no-load condition and load condition. The components of the dryer include an electromagnetic actuator jack, electronic positional controller, magnetic compass, solar collector and drying cabinet. The actuator jack is designed in such a way that the collector angle varies automatically as the sun rises and sets. In this manner, the drying products get maximum heat energy from the sun rays at any given time. This technology enables the product to be left inside the dryer without any need for manual turning of the collector along the direction of the sun rays. In operation, the actuator jack receives a signal from the electronic positional controller and the resulting inward and outward movement of the jack leads to an angular displacement of 15o for every hour of drying. The result of no load test showed that the average air temperature inside the dryer was 66oC given a rise of 22oC over the ambient condition in Ilorin (42oC) at the time of testing. 1kg of cassava chips was dried to a moisture content of 11.1% (wb) in 9 hours showing that the dryer has performed satisfactorily and is recommended for cassava chips drying
FINANCING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN AGRICULTURE
Authors: J. Muguthu , N Lang'at
Published: November 2022

Agriculture remains the source of livelihood in Africa. However, this sector is plagued by high level of wastage in food chain. In Kenya it is estimated that close to 50% of Kenya’s agricultural produce, be it crop, fish or even livestock is lost in post-harvest maneuvers. This is largely due to poor post-harvest processing and storage. These are energy intensive which compound the situation. Energy challenge is multi-faceted ranging from technology to financing and accessibility. This paper looks at energy financing and analyses the various options available for the agricultural sector in Kenya. The paper further compares financing approach in the developed countries and the lessons learnt and opportunities. The results of this study show that project finance is the preferred model of financing among REP financiers, while REP developers mainly prefer corporate finance. Based on the cost of implementation, project finance is mostly only a viable option for financing large-scale REPs, which as the results of this study show, delivers minimal benefits for sustainable economic development. This is mainly because large SEPs are mostly gridconnected. It is recommended that in developing countries, public institutions and legal systems should consider having the stability, ability, and reliability over the medium to long term to put in place and enforce laws and private sector regulation in general, as well as supportive incentives for renewable energy in particular.
AGRICULTURAL MECHANIZATION STATUS IN AFRICA: AN OVERVIEW
Authors: A.N Gitau , S.T Mwangi
Published: November 2022

One of the key aspirations of Agenda 2063 on the Africa we want is to consolidate the modernization of African agriculture and agro-businesses. Use of mechanical technologies which are both labour saving and directly increase yields and production is the most appropriate way of sustaining increased food production. It is therefore important that an appropriate technology, technology that is socially acceptable, economically viable and technically feasible, is selected for specific prevailing condition. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region in the world with the lowest power usage (manual, animal and mechanical) and the lowest level of farm mechanization. In SSA the general average number of tractors is about 28 tractors per 1 000 ha whereas it is about 241 tractors in other regions. In order to enhance mechanization in Africa, governments have to place more emphasis on the development of small-scale farmers, support and encourage the existing advanced and successful commercial farming sector, provide in-service training for extension officers, artisans and other entrepreneurs to improve their understanding of the different power and mechanization options available to farmers and to expose them to new technologies and opportunities as well as strengthening input supply networks and promote the manufacturing base on agricultural operations and processing technologies.

Rozwój technologii sprawił, że internet stał się wirtualnym światem, który odgrywa kluczową rolę w realnej rzeczywistości. Obecnie, nie jest jedynie miejscem rozrywki. W Internecie znajdują się oficjalne strony rządowe, witryny państwowe, e-urzędy, czy też e-bankowość. Temat artykułu skupia się na cyberbepieczeństwie. W artykule zdefiniowane jest pojęcie cyberprzestrzeni, a także zagrożenia jakie w niej występują. Cyberprzestrzeń charakteryzuje się rozciągłością na cały świat i wszechstronną bazą danych. Jednakże w cyberprzestrzeni występują także działania, które tworzą dla niej zagrożenie, są to: cyberterroryzm i cyberprzestępstwa. Poczucie bezkarności sprawiło, że coraz więcej osób zaczęło aktywnie działać w cyberprzestrzeni. Ich przedsięwzięcia mogą mieć różne zamiary – niektórzy kierują się dobrem ogółu, a inni za cel cyberataków stawiają swoje indywidualne korzyści m. in. majątkowe. Wśród cyberprzestępców wyróżnia się hakerów, haktywistów, krakerów i cyberterrorystów. Cyberterroryzm niewątpliwie jest zagrożeniem dla państwa, powoduje zniszczenia infrastruktury i jest zagrożeniem dla życia ludzi. Jest zagrożeniem na realną rzeczywistość. Natomiast cyberbezpieczeństwo jest także zagrożone mniejszymi, mniej szkodliwymi działaniami, takimi jak: ataki hakerskie, włamania, pozyskiwanie danych, czy też poprzez wirusowanie stron. Działania te są niejednoznaczne i nie zawsze wiążą się z niebezpieczeństwem wobec państwa i obywateli. Celem badawczym niniejszego artykułu jest przybliżenie działalności haktywistów. W artykule zostały opisane działania popularnej grupy haktywistycznej – Anonymous. Postawione zostało pytanie badawcze: jakie narzędzia i techniki hakerskie stosowane są w cyberprzestrzeni. W celu odpowiedzenia na te pytanie, została zbadana historia i działalność grup haktywistycznych. W artykule została przedstawiona charakterystyka haktywistów oraz metody ich działań. Podjęto próby oceny działań haktywistycznych, a także szanse i zagrożenia, jakie niesie dla obywateli.

Published: November 2022

Recirculating ball (RCB) steering gear with four-bar linkage steering system is widely used in commercial vehicles with rigid front axle and over slung suspension owing to their architectural arrangement. The usage of RCB steering gear with four-bar linkage steering system with underslung suspension is not commercialized globally due to complexity of packaging suspension and steering linkages. Few automotive OEMs have studied and implemented Y link steering system in place of four-bar linkage steering system for underslung suspension arrangement. Y link steering system has got its inherent disadvantages such as higher bump steer, poor self-centering, complex linkages, more number of parts and less tire life. Further this arrangement is comparatively costlier than four-bar linkage steering system owing to their higher number of parts. In this paper, an extensive analysis has been made to implement the four-bar linkage steering system for underslung suspension vehicle. In this arrangement, the track rod (one of the links of a four-bar linkage system) is packaged above the leaf spring unlike in vehicles with overslung spring. Due to this unique arrangement, there exists some challenges in critical parameter optimization and packaging which are addressed in this paper. A mathematical model was developed to arrive at optimum steering and suspension geometry inorder to reduce the Ackerman error for better tire life and improve vehicle handling characteristics. By solving this mathematical model, optimum hardpoints can be arrived to achieve less Ackerman error, lower steering effort, lower bump steer, better steering returnability and best in class tire life. The present paper shows a possible approach to define the optimized steering and suspension linkages from the existing complex geometry with underslung suspension. This attempt is first of its kind in automotive industry and if commercialized successfully will go a long way in improving steering performance and cost savings for the vehicles with underslung suspension.

Published: November 2022

Biodiesels are substitute fuel sources that can be potential replacement to fossil fuels apart from being eco-friendly owing to their carbon-neutral nature. The energy originating from nature-based resources has a premium value due to its lowest environmental impact. The strategies that protect nature are grouped under a philosophy termed as ‘sustainability’. The biodiesel ought to give net energy acquire, have ecological advantages with financially serious, and producible in enormous amounts without diminishing food supplies. The proposed study examines potential of waste cooking oil as a source of bio-diesels by collecting samples of used cooking oil from the food outlets. The characteristics of producing bio-diesel from waste cooking oil are investigated from the point of view of utilizing it on a small batch mode of 5 to 10 litre. The chemistry of transesterification is investigated by adopting computational route to design a reactor and experimentally verifying the small-scale production.

Published: November 2022

El presente estudio muestra una revisión del uso de las precedencias en las entradas reales de los Reyes Católicos. El objetivo se basa en demostrar que la corte empleaba esta herramienta del protocolo según las circunstancias y los propios intereses de cada momento, tanto desde un punto de vista simbólico como de la comunicación regia. La precedencia es utilizada en estos actos para divulgar la identidad del poder, cuestionado desde los comienzos del propio reinado, el uso de ésta de manera particular en alguna de las entradas reales respalda en todo momento los emblemas defendidos por dicha corte.
Opacidad del currículo universitario en Chile
Authors: González Ramírez Isabel Ximena
Published: November 2022

El texto analiza las estrategias discursivas de las políticas públicas curriculares universitarias, en tres períodos socio – históricos: uno de un gobierno socialista, otro de dictadura y un período de transición democrática, que llevan a la opcacidad del curriculo en Chile, mediante una metodología cualitativa, descriptiva y crítica, alusiva al análisis crítico de discursos oficiales de cada época. Lo que permitió identificar y describir los elementos ideológicos neoliberales que cimientan la actual política educativa en Chile, pasando de la unificación de la educación estatal al crecimiento exponencial de universidades privadas y finalmente, a la consolidación de la supremacía de empresas educativas con currículos propios y representativos de ciertos grupos de poder, desarrollando una política sectorial remitida a indicadores de gestión, que ha llevado a la opacidad del currículo de la educación universitaria.
administración de justicia y el secreto de sumario frente a los medios de comunicación
Authors: Martínez Cristóbal Daniel
Published: November 2022

La libertad de información es uno de los derechos inherentes al ser humano, pero es necesario establecer unos límites de control para proteger a los ciudadanos. El sistema judicial está obligado a ponderar el valor del derecho a la información con el de los derechos a la intimidad e incluso con la propia integridad del procedimiento judicial. Es imprescindible reorientar la actitud del periodismo a la hora de informar, por la especial gravedad que suponen los atentados contra la confidencialidad del procedimiento o la imparcialidad judicial.
